New Acquisitions and Final Moving Info

I'd meant to keep a more updated log on here of when I acquire new kits. Somehow, that's always slipped away from me. I'm gonna try to keep up with that, though, starting with the last few kits I got last year, leading to current.

Early December, I had just saw Gundam UC episode 4 (like most everyone else), and loved the combat in it soooo much. I decided I had to get a couple of the grunts that were introduced in that episode.

HGUC 1/144 AMS-129M Zee Zulu and HGUC 1/144 RGM-96X Jesta

Unfortunately for the Jesta, the Zee Zulu saw much better screen time and action this time around. With two episodes left, however, we can only hope the Jestas will get their shot.

My Christmas present Gunplas saw a much more... upgraded addition than I was expecting.

MG 1/100 OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon Ver.EW, XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock Ver.EW and XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell Ver.EW

While I had them on my list, I certainly wasn't expecting any of these. Much less three of 'em! My hat's definitely off to my parents for locating these at their local hobby stores. (None are counterfeit, either!)

The last ones listed here are my newest kits ordered post Christmas, to start getting HGUC's from Gundam Extreme Vs. as was a goal listed in my last posting.

HGUC 1/144 MS-06FZ Zaku II FZ, RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1, RX-78NT-1 Gundam NT1 "Alex" and MS-14S Char's Gelgoog.

For BD-1, I plan to order parts for a spare head (courtesy of GG Infinite), which I plan to paint the visor and cameras in EXAM mode. That will have to wait until after our move, however.

Now speaking of the move, we've gotten our taxes (just waiting for our federal to come in as of writing this) and are looking to be back home in Indiana by March 3rd. Since our taxes push us to our financial criteria to pull this cross-state move off, I'll have some extra funds to get some other things before we're out. I've got one order on the ready, and pending federal, I'll get another order to start a backlog of kits to work on once over there (As all but the Sandrock MG have been built already ^_^') .

If anything else comes up (or when I get my stuff in) I'll keep you all posted.
