It’s discussion times again. What’s in your backlog?

I’ll go first. I don’t have a physical backlog in the traditional sense, but I am waiting on some stuff from P-Bandai. I have pre-ordered an MG Tallgeese Fluegel, MG Altron, and MG Unicorn Recirculation.

Last night I put in an order for the Ecopla MG Aile Strike, Ecopla EG RX-78, Launcher/Sword pack for MG Aile Strike, SDCS Gundam Base color RX-78, and Spinatio Saint Valkyrie type. This is in addition to the MGSD Aerial and 2 MS General kits I have on preorder, 3 partially complete 30MS builds, and MS General Greed which I started yesterday.

I have red-logo kits from the mid 2000s that I haven't touched. And until I went broke I kept buying more. Completionnaire's Disease is a bitch.

USA getting P-Bandai was a blessing and a curse.

Sometimes I think my main hobby is collecting boxes, and my secondary hobby is building Gunpla.

P-Bandai really is like crack for nerds.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 15 hours ago

Its saving grace is that pretty much everything comes back around if you're patient enough. I absolutely hate the timed preorder game, especially when there's not enough quantity to last more than a few minutes. I have missed every PB Efreet drop. 🙃 And then there's nonsense like the r/Gunpla mods running interference by loading up their carts with something in high demand (like, say, II Neo Zeong) and letting them go one or two at a time to make sure the in-crowd on discord can get their orders in. Buncha bullshit.

My backlog is... monstrous. I let myself go a little crazy because of holiday sales last year, plus the tariff scare. I have enough kits to probably last 3+ years.

Waaay too much lmao.

Oh man, my backlog is becoming a beast. I keep forgetting what’s in there. Too many to list tbh, most of them MG’s.

I’m prob most excited for my Mg ver ka hi nu Gundam. Although I think my next build is my 3rd party mg moon gundam or the mg heavy arms pbandai ver. I also have some old MG’s like a ground gundam and GM that I want to throw together to get Karen’s gundam from 08th MS

I see that you too are a man of culture. I bought those two kits for the exact same reason, and just need get around to making a resin cast of the GM head so that I don't now have a headless GM on my shelf.

[–] Kelp@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

That is such a better idea than mine lol. I bought two GM’s so I could have the head and a complete unit. But I’ll give my self a break, ground GM is one of my favorite GM designs

Which Heavy Arms? Kai or IGEL?

[–] Kelp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Kai. I like the color scheme better in blue
