Quick primer! Generally, the gunpla kits come in various "grades" and scales. Starting with 1:144, moving up to 1:100 and then 1:60. In ascending order of build quality/detail, "High Grade" kits can be of all three scales (most commonly 1:144s), Master Grades are 1/100 and then the peerless Perfect Grades are 1:60.
So I've been in love with the Freedom design since it ever came out all those years ago. Been wanting a decent kit of it for a long time and the Full Burst Mode kit seemed like the pinnacle of the kits with all the bells and whistles. It's an MG which means it's about as good as it'll get and going so long without a proper "improvement" on kit quality, it looked like the best it was gonna be. So after much contemplation and balancing of funds (along with a handy sale at Hobbysearch), I caved and bought the Master Grade Strike Freedom Gundam Full Burst Mode kit (linked above).
It currently sits in my pile of kits to be built (currently 1/100 Astray Blue Frame Second L Clear Ver, MG Exia Ignition Mode, MG God Gundam and MG Strike Freedom) as I'm currently assembling the MG Hi-v. This is good and all but then when doing my "net rounds" today I saw this.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- (click pic for larger scan)
So I guess for now, it'll remain unbuilt even once all the others are assembled. Assembly is just the first step to see how things go together after all (need to decide on painting if I want to paint them, then paint if I decide to, then panel line/detail in general) so I'll have my hands full with the above even if panel lining is the only thing I do @_@ December release so as I said, I'll wait and see how the PG Strike Freedom turns out. If it's awesome, I'll probably scalp the MG Strike Freedom kit to go towards funding what will probably be a very expensive PG if the PG 00-Raiser (which I still want) is any indication.
EDIT:
Zeph: ima go with
Zeph: it happened cause you already got one xD
Me: Me too >_>
EDITEDIT:
They had better go all out no-stop on this kit. I demand Wings of Light amongst other things for this kit! More electroplated goodness too!
