If it were some objective thinking somewhere in there, perhaps it wasn't as bad as it feels... Prior to that, it was hard to keep the shopping under control... there were the HGUC's, MC (Mazinger etc), HGAB, HGLM, Hasegawa's Valks and a few MGs that's always there to tempt me. But I slowly caught up with the "must"-haves and then for several months, whenever I went down to Manhattan (or Toronto) I would be thinking "hmm haven't gotten a kit for a while", and still ended up going home empty-handed. I managed to persuade myself out of a string of HGUCs, Seed/Destiny and EX's, esp. Flying Armor (Mk.II) and BMFG (Type-100). I always said I'm a fan of non-robots, esp. in 1/144, but somehow I resisted. (long-winded way to say exactly, it's just not my taste) Anyway I better put my Tachikoma order in quickly. If (when?) Japan takes sabre (ehh sword) rattling over the edge, i.e., amend the consitution. I won't be able to buy Japanese goods and still look myself in the mirror. > we got something like Asshimar & > now Gabthley, so what's to complain?? Yeah, end of 2005 was pretty good: QM, Marasai, Asshimar, Gabthley... Marasai is a great great kit, BTW, one may find faults with Asshimar and Gabthley (and I predict Palace Athens will have problems too), but I can't find any issues with Marasai. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
