    Easily top 5. Arguably Sazabi level or a little bit better because it's transformation is damn near flawless. I mean they just did this thing right. Nothing is loose (except for the swappable master grade hands which is isn't unique to this kit) and everything clicks in to place satisfyingly. The bulk of the kit almost doesn't affect pose-ability at all. Even more options on an action base. This kit easily gets kit of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if it edges out RG unicorn. And with all of that said the build isn't an overly complicated one either. The legs can be slightly tricky but pretty straight forward.

    To be honest they're extremely similar at base since they use the same exact frame and share about 50% of their armor parts. I wouldn't put one over the other as far as the base kits go. But if we're talking addons the perfect strike beats out the start build strike any day. I had a lot of placement issues with adding the sword and launcher packs on. You have to do everything just right for it all to fit.

    Buy some shelves from Ikea or wherever, then if you can spare the vacation days (no joke) take some time off work. Otherwise "life" has a tendency to get in the way.

    Oh yeah, and have a VERY supportive wife >D

    Nah that was the rumor, but they just had to slow business down for a bit. This is The room right now lol we’re still settling in and buying furniture and such. This room probably won’t be ready until after the holidays

    I also ended up getting these two kits for free last week. The Justice is my second one. I preordered it back in July and it took months to get any movement so I canceled the preorder. Randomly last week we get a call from our old down stair neighbor from our apartment and she told us that a package came in for me. Ended up being the canceled Justice gundam! The sword/launcher strike is an even better story. As you know I was working on the perfect strike last month. Well the aile strike RM obviously doesn’t come with the sword and launcher packs. So I posted on one of the facebook groups I’m in that I’m looking to buy just the sword and launcher packs from the older strike gundam since the p Bandai weapons pack is the same kit with a slight recolor. Well this dude in the group offers to send them to me for free! And I get them and start building my strike. Once I start the weapons pack he gives me I realized it was missing a shoulder piece and the sticker sheet. I hit him up and asked him if he had those pieces lying around and if so I’d pay to get them. All he said was “no worries I’ll take care of you”. A few days later the whole kit shows up at my door 100% free of charge. I message him and just says have fun with it and make a custom out of the rest. Still can’t believe it lol
