Day 44 of posting about Gunpla

It’s discussion times again. What’s in your backlog?

I’ll go first. I don’t have a physical backlog in the traditional sense, but I am waiting on some stuff from P-Bandai. I have pre-ordered an MG Tallgeese Fluegel, MG Altron, and MG Unicorn Recirculation.

Last night I put in an order for the Ecopla MG Aile Strike, Ecopla EG RX-78, Launcher/Sword pack for MG Aile Strike, SDCS Gundam Base color RX-78, and Spinatio Saint Valkyrie type. This is in addition to the MGSD Aerial and 2 MS General kits I have on preorder, 3 partially complete 30MS builds, and MS General Greed which I started yesterday.
I have red-logo kits from the mid 2000s that I haven't touched. And until I went broke I kept buying more. Completionnaire's Disease is a bitch.
USA getting P-Bandai was a blessing and a curse.
- Sometimes I think my main hobby is collecting boxes, and my secondary hobby is building Gunpla.
- P-Bandai really is like crack for nerds.
  
  Its saving grace is that pretty much everything comes back around if you're patient enough. I absolutely hate the timed preorder game, especially when there's not enough quantity to last more than a few minutes. I have missed every PB Efreet drop. 🙃 And then there's nonsense like the r/Gunpla mods running interference by loading up their carts with something in high demand (like, say, II Neo Zeong) and letting them go one or two at a time to make sure the in-crowd on discord can get their orders in. Buncha bullshit.
My backlog is... monstrous. I let myself go a little crazy because of holiday sales last year, plus the tariff scare. I have enough kits to probably last 3+ years.
Waaay too much lmao.
Oh man, my backlog is becoming a beast. I keep forgetting what’s in there. Too many to list tbh, most of them MG’s.
I’m prob most excited for my Mg ver ka hi nu Gundam. Although I think my next build is my 3rd party mg moon gundam or the mg heavy arms pbandai ver. I also have some old MG’s like a ground gundam and GM that I want to throw together to get Karen’s gundam from 08th MS

  I see that you too are a man of culture. I bought those two kits for the exact same reason, and just need get around to making a resin cast of the GM head so that I don't now have a headless GM on my shelf.
  
  That is such a better idea than mine lol. I bought two GM’s so I could have the head and a complete unit. But I’ll give my self a break, ground GM is one of my favorite GM designs
- Which Heavy Arms? Kai or IGEL?
  
  Kai. I like the color scheme better in blue
