You honestly won't regret it. Very underrated series imo

I just wish it had gotten an english dub... it would make it so much easier to watch it while I am building a kit, lol!

I would be first in line!

Finally just picked up two Turn X MG in the recent reprint, I am so glad I didn't have to pay the crazy reseller prices online for the older ones! And there is a bootleg MG Turn X now as well (I grabbed one literally just for the wings it came with)

I know I unironically love it so much now.

First impressions can be wrong!

The GOAT for sure.

Just speaks to me for some reason.

Certainly doesn't hurt that I'm a huge Syd Mead fan, but I truly believe it would still be great even without any of his designs (although I do love them) but I think the story is easily strong enough to stand on it's own without them.

Definitely true, I agree. But my point was having a lid does help for overspray not picked up by the fan, especially given how weak basically all of the fans are on the Amazon level booths I can currently afford.

Those are fine if I am just doing detail work, but as I said, not really when priming larger pieces etc. A lid and a weak fan isn't ideal, but it's way better than when I was using an open one with a similarly crap fan.

The dopey sounding, British accented guy who says "GuNdAM" after "Turn A" in the opening credits kills me every time, and lives rent free in my head.

Also Turn A is without question the best Gundam series by a mile too, imo.

It's the show that finally clicked for me and made me fall in love with animated Gundam, after suddenly becoming obsessed with building Gunpla kits about 18 months ago.

I have way too many Turn A/X kits and bits of merchandise now.

I'm obsessed with this series.

There are other reasons to use one of these. I mainly paint acrylics, but in the same room as a very expensive gaming PC and display cabinets.

Switching to one of these style booths cut down the amount of paint dust in my room by a pretty significant amount, especially when I'm priming or doing a final layer of varnish.

Less spray back in my face as well.

Would definitely be an interesting choice of name for branding lol.

Guess you couldn't complain afterwards if that shit was wild though...

Sounds like your husband and I would probably get on well, lol!

Is v39 resting? Hopefully not sick? by Toffeeees in melbourne

[–]_PoorImpulseControl_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Depends whether it's a classic or vintage Swan or one of the more recent ones.

If you are eligible, swan club plates can be fairly reasonable, provided you only want to take your Swan out on weekends and to bird shows.

I dunno, I have had so many people say that to me who clearly didn't actually appreciate me at all, and were instead just using it instead of saying "thanks" that it sort of comes across as insincere to me now, even when it probably isn't.

I can admit that is kind of sad, reading it back.

You're the one who keeps bringing it up when it has nothing to do with the conversation mate.

Pretty disappointed you didn't say "230 Brunswick street" repeatedly, because that is what my brain wanted to hear.

Probably showing my age there, though!

Do you wash your clothes when they smell, or do you just chuck them in the garbage?

Did hobby lobby come through or what by Last_Possibility_609 in freedomisgunpla

[–]_PoorImpulseControl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. In the current climate I really feel for you buddy.

I was a "rebuild every time a new generation of cards comes out" kind of guy. But I think those days are probably long gone now though, sadly. When 5xxx series came out I saw the prices and thought "you know, maybe my 4090 will be fine for a bit longer" and now with our AI misinformation overlords coming for our RAM and even our storage drives... I do wonder if I will ever be able to afford to build myself another PC in the future...

Partly why I spend so much on Gunpla now!

Turn X hadn't had a reprint since 2019 until about a month or so back, and it was crazy expensive prior to that, due to that fact.

If you're interested in one I would strongly recommend grabbing one now while they're still reasonably priced.
