that's a nice path to follow matsjc. you may also want to try the HGUC 1/144 kits as well. Universal Century Rocks!

[-Mats-]

i think ill try those kits too after seed. im not that familiar w/ the UC series. gundam wing was the first gundam show that ived watched follwed by G then X and finally seed/seed destiny.

i kinda like the MG sazabi and HGUC 1/144 GP02A gundam though. and the zeta gundams look cool too

just like uber jam said. soo many possibilities.. but less money to spare..

[delta408]

oh yes, money is the all limiting factor in this hobby.

** and my avatar is a MG ZZ Gundam. cool huh? ;D

*tries not to laugh*
matsjc: careful with UJ ;D ;D the "force" is in him ;D ;D

gundam boards brief history of gt boards member "chaoz"

once upon a time there was a loyal fan of Rei Ayanami named chaoz, he was a happy little lad contented with collecting rei ayanami gashas and what not to his heart content. until one day, on a dark and cloudy day... was savagely and brutally victimized by *ahem* yours truly into collecting GUNDAMs kits... but not just any gundam kits, MY PICK of gundam kits. he struggled, he panted, he tried to run, but it was futile, he had no choice, i cornered him on a dark alley... he was shivering in fear... he cried for help "HELP ME! HELP ME!" but no one heed his call for help. so i went closer and closer, he shakes and rattles with every step i take. as i was looking down on him, i told him "the astrays are the best! and you'll need some white and blue paint for the tallgeese III"

and after that faithful day, the person known as chaoz was never the same... his trout whacking days were over, and his machinations for the character rei ayanami has diminished. with that i have left my mark on chaoz. he is now tainted with the gundam bug in his veins. his sig is proof of my work. and so are the others who has fallen into my "influence"

and everybody lived happily ever after collecting gundam kits ;D

THE END

[Uberjam]

ok since your all eager to hear my story... well gather around children, make yourselves comfortable and i shall tell you a tale... this is a story of a faithful day that was predestined by providence. this is the story when i met a lowly soul name "Ikabod" the first of many souls that i have corrupted... and this is also the story when yours truly became the DARK B.I. LORD as you all well know as UBERJAM... or rather as coined by my first victim... ZEON SITH UJ.

as i said, it was a faithful day when ikabod and i met. he was a lowly newbie collector then... not knowing the difference between a DOM and a RICK DOM and I, i was already a veteran collector of 9 years and with scars on my left index finger to prove my prowess in kit building and how stupidly sliced my finger three times in a row in building the NG aegis. back then i was a mere collector, nothing special, i was simply known as Uber Jam and nothing more. those were the carefree days of my collecting kits, not a worry in sight. it was bliss!

ikabod wanted something from me, he wanted the little figures that came with the kits i have gathered in my collection. needing the money to purchase a MG gogg, so i agreed to meet him and exchange my little figures with ikabod's well earned Philippine currency. so we met, i saw him, he approached me, shook hands and he spoke in a low voice, almost a whisper like we were members of a cabal conspiring to snatch one of the coveted kits sold at the most holiest of places in toy collecting... GREATTOYS.NET. so we spoke, said our pleasantries and did the purchase, i got what i wanted from him and he got what he wanted from me, it was a fair exchange.

now with enough money in my pocket and the eagerness to purchase a MG Gogg, i turned around and confronted the vast kits on display with a smile on my face. but wait! what's this! i can't seem to find the MG Gogg that i was so looking forward to. suddenly, the smile on my face was slowly disappearing to a puzzled look. so i asked for the clerk "Ms. Arlene, where's the MG Gogg that was on display here" and she replied "oh the kit was put on reserved just yesterday."

what? the kit was put on reserved? yesterday? these words were ringing inside my head, i couldn't believe it! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! somebody beat me to it! so i got angry, frustrated, furious, until i couldn't hold it any more, i was about to shout in horror, in torment, in disgust, until... it all fell silent. ikabod was right behind me unaware to anguish that was brewing inside me. and suddenly i found my purpose, my anger and hatred unleashed the "force" that was in me. i didn't know that i had it then until ikabod.

ikabod, went in front of me looking at the vast kits on display, it was his first time being in GT. he was eyeing the MG WZC, it was the kit he planned to get in the first place. but no... i thwarted his objective, twisted his thoughts, corrupted his decision. i was right behind him, unknown to him i was glaring at him, scheming. and i told him "why not get the MK II V2? its almost the same price as the WZC" he paused and contemplated on it, but before he could come to a decision i worked my powers over him, i manipulated his solemn thoughts, influenced him. i told him in a jestly manner "if you don't get the MK II V2 I'M gonna get it... its the last stock" with that in mind, he suddenly quivered, he knows im right, he knows i make sense. so without a second thought, he grabbed the MK II V2 with all his might, he clutched it like it was his own child protecting from a pack of wolves in a cold forrest. alas, it has begun, i have just victimized ikabod. but its not over... oh no...

as ikabod made his purchase, shook hands, him with a grin on his face and i with wrath and fury in my heart, we parted ways. as i walk alone in the avenues of glorietta and goldcrest, i was at lost, "how could it be possible? the MG Gogg lost to me... WHYYY!?!?!?!" from then on, i made a vow that heads will roll when i find out who it was who had it reserved. so i aimlessly walked, and walked, and walked. i was indeed at a lost, then suddenly i found myself in front of a BPI ATM. i tried to reject the dark side, but i was powerless, it took hold of me, i STRUGGLED! "NO! please don't!" and all of a sudden silence... i walked to the ATM, drew out my wallet, and withdrew my money from the machine. as i walked, i had an eerie aura about me, dogs were barking at me, and they yelp at my glance, people close to me felt woozy at my presence. the force, the dark side, has manifested. i was no longer the same, i was changed, i was corrupted. so i returned to GT, ms. arlene noticed the sudden change and trembled at my sight. i reached out with my right hand, took the MG SAZABI from the shelf it once rested and gathered dust. i had it bagged and left GT... forever changed.

and that's all folks ;D

THE END... bow

[-Mats-]
