Yard sale anyone?
So Gundam Planet will be relocating to a new warehouse soon, but before we do we were thinking of opening the doors for a yard sale style day. Tables, great sales, cash only, maybe some food.
Would anyone be interested in that??
Edit: Whoops, forgot to mention we’re in New Jersey :x

It's official!
The Gundam Planet Tumblr is up and running, check it out! Nothing there yet cause I made it all of 5 minutes ago, but today will see at least 2 updates.
Also, please feel free to request stock and show your enthusiasm through notes!! That way we know what people like :-)
More good news, now that there’s an official blog for that, I can get back to posting exclusively high res pics for this...
Ok Bandai
So MG Ver. 3.0 is going to be a thing now….
I’ll be making the official Gundam Planet Tumblr later in the day so look for official posts on there, but I just had to share. WHAT? WHY?? How about we do 2.0s of all the other kits before releasing yet ANOTHER RX-78-2?

Fun times at GP
So naturally, the week I plan a fairly big event here is the first major shipment delay since Christmas (which was also a fiasco).
So yes, still no sign of any of the early May release kits. They better show tomorrow or I’m gonna have to crack some skulls, but I’m still not banking on anything.
The epic gathering might have to wait till another time, friends :(
Keeping you guys in the loop
So they were right about customs being a huge pain in the ass; the new shipment has been sitting in JFK since last Friday, and we haven’t seen it yet. I’ll keep you all updated about whether or not it will be here for this weekend!

HG Shin Matsunaga Zaku II Review! (8/10)
So this display kit came in last week and someone had to build it, and since this suit was my favorite MG kit I’ve built, why not me?
I applaud this HG in many areas and strongly condemn it in others. I’ll start with the negatives so I end on a high note.
For starters, I don’t feel they got the proportion quite right. The MG had bulk but good ratios as well. The HG feels...

Hey guys hey, update time
So the Jesta/Destiny/Ez8 gathering thing will totally still happen, but my boss is telling me to be conservative because customs (like passport customs, not custom models) into the country can be a pain in the ass. It’s still definitely happening, just possibly not on the 10th.
I’ll keep updating. THIS MUST HAPPEN. JESTA IS TOO COOL FOR IT NOT TOO.
Sorry guys
I’m not dead, my fiance is just in the hospital and has been since Thursday. Oh fun. So that’s where I am!

Dynasty Warriors Gundam takes the word "History"...
Unless I’m forgetting that time Roux Louka and Shinn Asuka teamed up with Domon to beat Kou Uraki and the other evil forces of the Dark Gundam…

RG Zaku II Review! (8/10)
Here’s the latest of the recent models I’ve been building and another in the RG line, the standard Zaku II!
You’ve all heard my opinions on standard Zaku IIs before, so I’ll spare you that. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this build—despite its fair share of flaws.
I’ll go through the flaws first:
1, all the tabs for the weapons only face right, so...

Should I review my Perfect Grades?
I have 3 from way back in the day, one from when I was 13, another from 15 and one from 17. RX-78, Wing Zero, and Astray Red Frame. I’d have to touch them all up but I could do it if there’s interest :-)

Hate to do the bait and switch
The response to the kits was initially disinterest except for a few inquiries outside the list, and I’m panicking because my little Australia adventure put me in debt that I was counting on a tax return to get me out of that might not be in time. I was a bad person and listed the lot on eBay :(
There are still some left that I didn’t list. If you’re still looking for something,...

oppaizuri asked: How do you feel about Dynasty Warriors Gundam? I've never played it but I remember always loving to mow down hoards of enemies in the Dynasty Warriors demos in kmari and walmart back when those were actually a thing, haha. Also, Gundam just doesn't seem as socially relevant as it was in the past, so that just supports your theory that there will never be another good Gundam game like...

Why Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From the Ashes is...
After playing all the DW:G games and even the latest Extreme Vs., replaying Gundam Side Story for Dreamcast really sheds light on what the franchise needs and will sadly never again get. Here’s why this was the best Gundam game to ever exist:
Unique Material:
Sure, this happens during the infamous One Year War, but it’s nothing you heard a single thing about in any series....

Hey yous mugs
Sorry about not being around much, I’ve been focusing a LOT on my internship and trying to promote my work on that front.
Not only that, I’m leaving for Australia tomorrow!! I’ve been preparing a lot, so that’s something else.
This is my formal absence notice! From now until the 14th, I’ll be down under in the home of the White Dingoes!!!!

No photo review for the Perfect Strike HG
Sorry guys, I built it without stickers cause I know the guys at the shop will want to paint this one, and it just looks HORRENDOUS. It looks like one of those kits you used to be able to buy at wal mart that the legs don’t even bend. The Shaldoll Rogue is a masterpiece compared to how this looks.

HG Shaldoll Rogue Review! (6/10)
Well, after my re-introduction into the HG world last week, i was wondering if maybe things had changed since my first impression. Along came this kit to test that theory out.
I can sum the entire experience up in one word: MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……….
I have never been less enthusiastic about a model I built than this one. I admit I...

HG GM Sniper II White Dingo Review! (2987033/10)
I want you all to know I’m putting all fanboying aside for the course of this review to bring you an actual objective opinion (the title is a joke ha ha ok).
For starters, I rarely ever build HG. I built the GN Archer for my girlfriend and am doing two display kits, but other than that I stay with MG cause HG usually doesn’t look great without paint.
This kit proved me wrong on...

Very near-future kit reviews!
Hey all, so the guys at my internship gave me two display kits to build, so I’ll have the Perfect Strike HG and Shaldoll Rogue HG to do, on top of the almost-finished RG Zaku and freshly airbrushed GM Sniper II White Dingo!
SO EXCITED.

Well today is odd already
I’m sitting outside Gundam Planet in my car cause the guys are running errands…
Don’t mind me, just stealing the wi-fi and working on writing accolades for a financial services firm… Before finishing editing product descriptions for a Japanese hobby website…..
And they say English majors don’t get you anywhere!
