14 runners yay

I can't tell if those are stickers or decals. XD Stickers, probably, since their backing is yellow? o_0

This looks sweet, though the amount of parts is mind boggling. @_@ Now to think of how to smuggle them into the house lmao. I'm lucky I wasn't crazy enough to try and order these online. -___-

I'm probably going to let the parts gather dust until after my birthday, then I'll just say it's a birthday gift or something. \o_O/

Anyway, thanks to Mom, I don't know if I want to get the SD Exia R2 and O Gundam ahaha. Technically, I don't have space for them anyway. I can just get Re-Bons Gundam [and forsake Gaddess and XN Raiser]. ;_;

Not everything is necessary. Heartbreaking realisation for a collector, whose general aim is to collect as many items for his/her collection as possible. Then again, we can't have everything in life.

In other news, I've started panel lining! I tried removing nip marks by sanding them down, but it's not really working nicely lmao. ;_; I sometimes sand a bit too much so the side looks scratched, and I try to use Gundam Markers to cover up the scratch. But when the Gundam markers dry, the result doesn't look great at all ahaha. xD"; On the bright side, this is only for the torso, so it's not THAT noticeable. Still, it's pretty icky.

Otherwise, my panel lines, done with the combination of Gundam Marker and eraser are actually coming along great. I think I would have fared better if I had access to rubbing alcohol, but I'm pretty proud of the work on the GN Drive. *o* If the final product looks presentable, I might take pics mwahaa. |D

omg those are a lot of parts... _{though probably not as many as my PG strike that's been gathering dust for a year}... I kinda want the SDs too, 'cause I love the SD gundams, but I already have regular Exia and the Exia R2 seems kinda redundant... O Gundam.. hmm... I'm not that fond of it....

yay panel lining! yeah, I tried sanding down the nip marks too, but it's a lot of work and I'm lazy ^^;; About the scratch marks, I don't really mind it, makes the Gundams look battle-worn? XD

I've never gotten a PG kit before. XD But it'll probably take me months to build. OTL OTL Yeah, I was thinking about that in regards to the 2 Exia. xD"; My worry is that Exia R2'll come with some sort of gimmick, since SD O Gundam has the GN particles effect included. That might weaken my resolve not to get it. ;-; I have to be stronger and thriftier... OTL

Ahhh, why didn't I think of leaving the scratch marks alone? XDDD Maybe I can try it for my next kit. |D

I dunno, from the pics on HLJ, the Exia R2 looks just like Exia but with an extra green sticker on the sword (or maybe a different sword) ^^;; though I can't find the regular Exia anymore, so maybe they've replaced the regular SD Exia with the SD Exia R2.

The GN particles on the O Gundam? Do you mean that green thing from its back? it looks nice, but most likely it comes unpainted and you'll have to do it yourself... The SD Strike Freedom I have has something similar, and it's just white plastic you'd have to paint (SD gundams are cute, but a lot of places are unpainted, due to having things molded with one piece instead of multiple parts ^^;;

and now they have the SD 00-Raiser... but I already have the SD 00 ... DX

Oh yeah, the unpainted parts thing didn't occur to me. DDD: If the plastic for the GN Particles are really unpainted, then I don't want SD O Gundam either. :\ No, Bandai, you're not going to make me spend on something with an uncolored gimmick.

Ack, their releasing SD 00-Raiser made me so angry. ))):<<< Because I'm an 00 Raiser fan, and I love O Raiser, I went ahead and got it. ): So now, I have both 00 and 00 Raiser. OTL If they release a SD O Raiser separately, I'll be so angry. XD
