I have a Perfect Grade Wing-Zero Custom sitting in my closet, I don't have the guts to assemble it and paint it. I can built it, but I don't think I'll be able to do a paint job, worthy of a Perfect Grade kit.

I have been trying to convince my friend who kicks @ss at building and painting models (he's been into models for the past 20 years) to build my Wing-Zero. He keeps telling me he's too scared to build and paint it for me. I'll convice him sooner or later.

Damn... Gundam Wing Zero Custom.... drool... Someone is selling it here for $250...

I will buit it, and leave it like that, they are pretty cool unpaint, but better with a pro paint job.

I remember the combat military vehicles... I like them but that time the animation quality began to deteiorate...

I don't remember seeing the protectobots in action... dammit.

B: That's a nice kit. I would rock the Perfect Grade Z. I still have a Gundam 0083 GP02 MG kit to finish. It's been a while. I only got the 1/60 God Gundam, not the best Gundam but oh well...

I'm pretty sure the protectobots were G2 (like 3rd year out).

Oh man, Perfect Grade kits scare the snot outta me too! It's like it's called perfect for a reason and if I screw up, it's like I flushed $250 down the crapper

At least with the cheaper Gundam's, if/when you screwed up it wasn't so bad. Anyone ever turn a screw up into "battle damaged" Gundam?

Impreza Transformers

A friend of mine was cleaning out his closet and gave this to me yesterday. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I had to use the instructions to transform it... I'll just say that they weren't as complex when i was a kid.

There are 3 different versions on the toy company's web site.

Smoke Screen - WRC2003
http://www.takaratoys.co.jp/TF/cm/bt01-02.html

Streak - WRX
http://www.takaratoys.co.jp/TF/cm/bt03.html

Smoke Screen GT - WRC2004
http://www.takaratoys.co.jp/TF/cm/bt07.html

It's embarrassing, but I still have yet to get myself a Smokescreen WRX

How much are they going for these days anyway?

It's expensive in the States. I've seen those thing goes for $75. I got mine in Hong Kong and it's half the prices in the US.

You guys should check out takaratoys.co.jp They have the new Wheeljack featuring the new Ford Mustang!! Superhot!!
