Yah, Unicorn and Sazabi saved Real Grade as far as solid construction goes.
Speaking of the RG line though, the Next one is gonna be Epiyon it seems.

Just finished the Hathaway novels (watched the movie yesterday).

The ending was what I expected for our boy, but holy fuck did he and Bright deserve better.

Yeah, my bad. Hope no one saw that lol

Man, if this isn't one of the best Gundam soundtracks tho. Earth has put me into a writing mood like no other.

"We seek the True Evangelion. The one that will coincide with the reawakening of Lilith, and usher in the time of The Covenant. It is crucial that the necessary rites are performed by then."

This kit is nothing short of amazing. The build was the smoothest I've ever done, the unit itself is pretty sturdy and durable, articulation is pretty decent (save for the head barely being able to move but that's the only negative I have). The number one best thing about this though is unlike it's 2010 predecessor kit, this one actually looks like the Mark 06. The original Bandai kit was such a massive disappointment, they couldn't even get the spear right, but this one is 100% spot on.

10/10 for this bad boy.

I bought the HG Aerial kit from Target for like $15, it's pretty good (I'm one of the few that actually liked TWFM) and I put together the Gouf finally. As for kits I still have left to build, I have the MG Strike Noir and the HG Narrative Phenex. Technically the RG Unicorn Perfectibility too but I'm not actually going to build that one because it's such a collectors item already.

I also ordered the RG Hi-Nu off USA Gundam store and it shipped within a few hours. Hopefully it comes in soon since I live only a few hours from Daytona Beach where they're located.

Current shelf as of 9/14/23. I have all 12 volumes of The Origin on the shelf above this one along with the Unicorn BD box AND both Japanese Bluray Boxes for Turn A Gundam.

Spoiler

As for my entire kit collection, it's kind of all over the place....

Spoiler

The MG Hi-Nu Ver Ka. & the MG Astray Blue Frame aren't mine. They're gifts for my brother that I haven't shipped off yet. The MG Turn A and the HG Avalanche are in the box broken beyond repair. MG Freedom 2.0 is on the top shelf of my desk but I'm thinking about moving him because although the stand is sturdy, he visibly shakes a lot from any movement on the desk (he's shaking right now as I'm typing lol).

HG Tristar, Red Comet, & the Gouf are all on the shelf with the RG Mark 06. The other Mark 06 is in the box because I can't stand to look at that hideous abomination. The RG GP01 is will probably remain unfinished because every time I try to restart it I get frustrated and put it away immediately.

The bottom left four are....missing. AWOL. Ghosts. They're not in their boxes and I have searched through every box of old crap that I own in this house and I can't find them anywhere and I'm pissed. I'm also missing the entire box (and kit) of my HG Sazabi. I can only assume that I accidentally left them in the old house I lived in before I moved into the apartment and they got thrown out by the person who took the house over. But the Thunderbolt Zaku & HG Unicorn never left my Mom's house so I have no idea what happened to those.
