Yay! 99 Cent Gundams!

[Axolotl]

So, I go to my local Goodwill store, since when I'm out with friends, it's what where we go (don't ask why). So, I go back to the toy section, and what do I find? Gundam Model Kits!! JAPANESE ONES!! FROM JAPAN!! How much? 99 cents a piece! I could have spent TONS more on them if I got them online or in a store. I bought both of them, since they were still wrapped and untouched on the inside. Lucky, indeed. The instructions were sometimes hard as hell to read, but thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the picture instructions! Here are a few pictures of the completed models:


Here are their basic size. Yes, they ARE tiny, because they're "SD Gundam" style.

Here's the first one, the Gouf Custom:

And my favorite of the two, Gundam Epyon:

Indeed, my friend, indeed.

Aww, they're so cute and stubbly.

Are they from an earlier age? Because compared to the Gundams my friend is obsessed with, they seem kinda... tiny...

But, hey, for under a dollar, that's still kinda awesome!

Actually, Gunam Epyon is from a future age, since it's from a series that never left Japan. The Gouf is from G Gundam, just shrinkified. And the reason they're so small is because they're SD Gundam style. SD is basically Gundams made cute and tiny and out of proportion. There are sets with actual scale models of those Gundams, they just make mini ones, too, for fun.

Gotcha! Oh, those crazy japanese!

Soo, how long d'you reckon it'll be before they're worth millions as collectors items then?

 

[Axolotl]

Probably never. I don't see my old Pokemon cards going up in value anytime soon...

 

[lonewolf]

I remember them! I had loads of them, but then they actually just totally disappeared one day. Veery weird...

Ah well, i doubt i had much worthwhile. Except for the three legendary dogs, in normal, shiny and team rocket versions! Oh yeah!

Ah, good days, good days...

I have the complete original 151, all the movie cards, almost every card from the Neo set (152-251), including the Red Gyarados (BOOYAH!). I have TONS of other rare ones that could sell for a lot if Pokemon cards were still popular.

 

[Kit]

Showoff. No-one likes a showoff, except for other showoffs, good job that, huh?

Lol, so which one of those two tiny, crazy little things is the good guy?

 

[Axolotl]

Well, I know for sure that the Gouf is bad. I don't know if Epyon is good or bad, though.

 

[Scurge]

My brother has like 5 million of those little guys.

That's a lot of Gundam models! You should totally make a Gundam war movie. Although, the models might come apart if they're not put together well... But that just makes it more realistic! Woohoo!
