Woooo, this is so great! :) I hate the Gundam series (too boring) but the robots are so cool. I hear these BanDai model kits are pre-painted and everything. No cement required, clicking the different parts together is enough. I'm a bit disappointed by the height though. Only 5 cm. There are larger ones, but I didn't find anything larger than 12 cm.

Is there anybody here with experience about this stuff? The one on the picture looks great, but I don't know if this is also the case when you open the box...

This is a 12 cm one. Sweeeet... Call me a nerd, I don't care. :P

NERD!

:)

Just playing man. I never got too into the japanamation styyle mechs...but ive always loved the Mechs from battletech and Mechwarror

I always found these mechs to be way more believable. They have guns and stuff. Instead of carrying a swords and actually being able to perform martial arts and whatnot

Yay! Actually they can be bigger than 5cm or 12cm! Those are just the box sizes. According to another site, it's more 10 cm, 20 cm. :thumb:

Fester, yeah, the MechWarrior robots are cool too. Actually more realistic. Never saw those in model kits though. Will ask the shop keeper on Saturday. :)

What grade model kits are they? I know there are some very high grade kits out there (with the price to match) These sound a little less complex (which would be perfect for me, never could color inside the lines as a kid, much less glue a model together correctly.) That would be cool if they were prepainted!

Cheers!
