If you have 50,000 yen lying around on your living room floor that you keep tripping over then you may be interested in buying this completed MG Strike Freedom from Yahoo Auction (click the link on the top of that page to see the auction).
I've seen some really nice completed Gunpla at shows for reasonable prices but I just feel wrong buying a Gunpla that somebody else made. For me, a Gunpla should be enjoyed by building it - not buying it (especially when it costs 500 USD!)
Anybody else feel the same?

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    I agree with you Danny. It's not the same when you don't build it yourself. It gives you a sort of satisfaction that you made it yourself with your own hands.

    I wouldn't mind buying one, that's IF I had the money. I think I went through a phase of purchasing tons of model kits and ruining all of them because I was horrible when it came to assembling. Right there was a couple of hundred spent on kits and supplies.

    Hey, one could always buy a completed model and say they built it to their friends and family, haha. I'm kidding.

    Thats rather overpriced for a finished gundam. I agree, wouldn't buy a gunpla kit if its finished by another unknown. Rather enjoy self satisfaction that you've spent 5000yen and built something from your own hands than 50,000yen (10times as much) from someone else when you could maybe just present it as nice as they did.

    I might buy a model that has been assembled by some person that just got tired of it. Then I'll go do the mod's myself without having to put it together. Gunpla depends on the price. 50,000 yen is NOT reasonable at all. Sell it for $100 and I'll consider it. In fact, that picture doesn't look any better than what's on the box.

    BTW, the auction link doesn't work

    Ugh...I would never buy a completed model kit. For me, a model kit is all about seeing if I can do better then the last Model kit I assembled. Expecially for 500 bucks!!! I would rather buy a few kits or a ton of Fix Figurations or something...On a different note, I hate the design of this model. Freedom Gundam is one of my favorite gundams, and I think design gives a bad name to Freedom Gundam. I can't stand the gold joints!!!

    Again, this is related to my "Xyzpdq's 50 year Model Plan" ^^.


    I would not buy a model kit for that much for display purposes. The kit is nicely done, but no matter how bad my Gundam kits look (I think they look decent to above average) The most fun is found in building the kit and understanding the intricate parts (or do I say that because I am an engineer? ^^).


    If this were my model kit I was selling, I would take the cost of materials and the kit, set the reserve there and see where the bidding goes. Any extra money I make off the auction will go to people who need it! (Not to mention I get the money back to build MORE kits.)


    For $500 USD that is a bit crude, I would price it at about $200. Then again, the value of this thing is determined by the seller, and ultimatly the buyer who may purchase the model. Nice Freedom Gunpla btw =) I like it (hate the series, like the model).

    I could see paying that if it were some rare limited edition only 200 made type thing, but just for a standard kit that some guy put together I don't think so. I mean come on for 500 bucks I could buy two Gundams a couple of nice Garage kits and still have a few bucks left over.

    i'd get them if i were in the same status as donald trump... owning such an expensive kit really bugs me since i wont be able to treat it like a toy (by posing/reposing it many times) in which if you do, something will definitely break...

    i'd get them if i were in the same status as donald trump... owning such an expensive kit really bugs me since i wont be able to treat it like a toy (by posing/reposing it many times) in which if you do, something will definitely break...

    I would agree on you with that. I think if I buy it, I would take it for granted and over time I would just neglect it and leave it lying there to collect dust.

    But then ... I suck at building gunpla. Thats why I buy fix figuration. Hmm .. buying a constructed gunpla and buying a fix figuration seems to the same thing don't you think.

    If it was from Wonder Excellence and I had cash, I'd actually consider buying it. You should check out his works. They're pretty awesome. His mods aren't the cheesy, I'll-kill-you-all-upgrade-ftw kind.

    I could not see myself paying for a built gundam. I enjoy taking the time to build it myself (no matter how messed up I may make it). The true satisfaction of a gundam model is that YOU completed it.

    I would buy one if they were cheaper. I don't want to invest the time to build my own but don't want to invest the money on a pre-made one. In any case the FF metal composite RX-78-2 is good enough for me.

    I wouldn't really ever buy an already made Gunpla, but if it was a super limited edition static figure of my favorite Gundam, and it was sculpted by a master sculptor in a dynamic pose that you couldn't pull off with Gunpla, and I had the cash to spare...then yeah I would. That would be the same as buying an art piece at a gallery or something. I'm not very good at gunpla myself, but I do agree with the rest that all the fun is in building it yourself. Though I don't agree with everyone in that if it turns out looking crappy...it just feels like a waste of money to me (as a couple of my hideous first tries at Gunpla are hidden away in their nice boxes). I'm actually doing a "serious" gunplay build for the first time (meaning custom paintjob, panel lining, the whole schabang). I've got a 1/144 HG Murasame in the planning stages (still figuring out the color scheme, and waiting for HLJ to send it out to me), and if it turns out halfway decent, I may post some pics on Figure.fm.

    The whole reason I buy Gunplas is because I enjoy building them. So buying a built Gunpla to me defeats its purpose. However I do sell Gunplas that I built as I run out of shelf space. And they usually fetch a pretty good price!

    Well, its a tough choice for the buyer but probably a good choice for the seller.

    The seller would probably sell it for the materials used, skills and time spent making it. (Thats where most of the profit come out from I guess, skill & time).

    Much like Keita, he sells his kits after finishing, all is left is the pictures that he took as a memory.

    If I was to sell off a nice finished kit, I would find it hard to depart from it lol.

    most of the fun of gunpla is making the model yourself. I had so much fun making my PG strike. Just sat there for the whole day just after i got my exam results. SUch a good day. I wouldn't mind buying a completed one, but it would have to be a really, really , really good one with great detail.

    My skill at building model isn't all that great, i get by. it is fun doing it your self but sometime i don't have the time or the skill to finish a model with good detail so in that case i wouldn't mind buying one.

    i agree, buying gundams that are prebuilt is just bad. you just feel the guilt that you did not build it! when you build the gundam you feel proud that you completed it ^^

    It should be made illegal to sell 'pre-made' gunpla.

    the main part of gunpla is knowing that you spent loads of cash on it, & spent forever building it, so you can truely be proud of what you spent your tie & hard earned cash on.

    whats the point of 'pre-mades' if the whole experience is down to building it yourself?

    I dispise anyone who dares perchase a 'pre-made' because you wont know the true meaning of gunpla & chases are if you dont then you bought it purely for looks, that you can show it off to all your little buddies when they come around so they can give you that little more respect so they might kiss your feet.

    If Mr T were right next to me now...

    I sure he'd say:

    "I pity the fool who cant build his own gunpla...."

    If youve lost both use of your arms then by all means go ahead & buy a pre-made gunpla. only if your that disabled wil it be truely justifyable to buy a pre-made.

    Be proud of your gunpla, not a poser.

    hey Danny,

    I can't find your email address, so I'm posting it here...

    I haven't been able to see comments ever since the last website overhaul. I thought maybe there's an option or something that makes it show up, but guess not... Then I used IE(6) instead and all seems to be well again. I'm not sure whether it's a plug-in conflict or what(using latest Firefox 2), but I just wanted you to know.

    yah your right I would dish out for a PS3 instead of an overpriced Gunpla. But I would rather buy unbuild ones over those already build.

    I would disagree. If you like kitbashing like me or like modding from different kits, its a lot cheaper to buy pre-snapped-together kits off the internet and use them to bash with the kits you have. It actually saves you money.
    I made a MG destiny a year ago, I bought a freedom frame off ebay for $25 and a destiny kit for $20...
    both of which are cheaper...simply because they were prebuilt...its all to the degree of plamo i suppose.

    similarly...some people want gundams just for display...and lack the skills, perhaps resources to make it themselves.

    No would be the answer to a normal gunpla.


    However, I have seen the Bandai complete versions floating around on eBay. Those would actually be worth the money, but for the most part, I would only buy that so I can show off the fact that this is made by professionals.

    As I've said earlier, I'd never buy normal completed Gunpla, since:

    "I have no interest in ordinary completed Gunpla!"

    MG strike freedom is my favourite gundam kit. it was vited best kit of 2006 as well. ^^

    anyway although doing a MG gundam kit might take a long time, i enjoy the whole building process. panel lining, spraying, top-coat etc.

    But i feel really wrong for tat MG to be placed at tat price! The works on the kit aint good enough to deserve tat price! I hardly see any mod on it and also it is just the original painting only!

    I know of greater moddeler works tat look greater than it and the price wont reach 500usd the max will only cost around 200usd! For that amount of detail!

    After viewing the pictures in the auction page, I don't think this work actually worth that much. the paintjob is bad plus the decals are done badly, you can actually see that a whole piece of it pasted there.
    For properly done decals, you can only see the texts/pictures without seeing the whole "border" of the cutout decal.
    Wonderexcellence gonna feel bad if he knows such bad job can fetch as high price as his. lol

    Normally, I'd agree with the "buy to build" mentality but some are so awesome that i wouldn't mind ponying up the cash if I had it to buy one.

    Like the 1/100 MG Akatsuki mod I saw years ago which used the MG strike gundam as a base. You could barely recognise it by the end!
