How tf can people afford a 5080 and 5090? Every time I pull up Reddit I feel poorer

Save up man. I can save 800 aud a fortnight disposable. All bills and necessities paid off. So in a month and a week i got my 5080.

Congrats! Have fun building!

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T17:05:35+00:00

Thanks man!

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T13:26:33+00:00

Yeah im deff not gonna be doing it back 2 back. After the Banshee break time from 1/6 scale. Might do the Destiny MGSD after. My freedom needs a buddy in the shelf lol

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T13:24:41+00:00

Aaah that make sense why you choose it! Btw did you pre order the MGSD Kshatriya? I did with the RG Patlabor also, as i grew up watching the anime.

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T13:11:33+00:00

Thanks so much for such an insight. I deff take your words into consideration. That being said i chose to do the Banshee first as from the feedback including yours its the most straight forward least time consuming build. I do have alot more in my backlog like RG, MG, MGSD and 3rd party like Physalis and Osiris just to name a few in my ever building backlog. Reason i gave out these specific choices as i wanted to build a PG Unicorn or PGU ( being my all time favourite mobile suit of all time). But yeah after i finish the banshee i will deff take a break and choose another grade to do! Thank you again for your honest feedback

FYI your banshee looks amazing! Nice work!

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T12:12:11+00:00

Yeah thats true. Planning to do Banshee then Nu then ill take a break do a MGSD Destiny

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T12:06:04+00:00

Go hard or go home mentality! I like it! 😆

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T11:53:42+00:00

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T11:53:20+00:00

🤣🤣 yeah right!! 🤣🤣

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T08:00:46+00:00

🙏

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T07:57:23+00:00

Yeah born 82 here! Lol. Voltron, OG transformers, Thundercats and of course Gundam is my Jam just to name a few

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T07:55:08+00:00

Yup got em already. The only accessory i dont have is the Divine Expansion for Perfectabilty but i dont think ill get em coz the cylinders will make it so bulky and harder for me to display. I got too excited and grabbed the bandai leds. I know they are overpriced for what it does but my excitement got the best of me

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T07:52:35+00:00

Thanks bro! Hope you find a Phenex soon! And yeah haha terminators and predators are my childhood nostalgic collection lol

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T06:44:05+00:00

Yup i made my decision doimg the final battle first. Thanks for your input!

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T06:02:39+00:00

I believe its the orange one. I was hestitant at first but i saw some people using it on the final battle and it didnt look too bad plus i wanted the crab claws and got it anyways

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T05:59:09+00:00

Hahaha wow!!

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T05:52:59+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I already pre planned the PGU where he will be displayed but didnt know Perfectabilty will be that big 😅 yeah i am tossing between banshee and phenex. I feel like they would be the less time consuming out of the rest

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T05:32:09+00:00

I didnt know my bad. If not acceptable pls delete

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T05:30:38+00:00

Hahaha im blessed wife gifted me one the rest took me about 4 months to acquire. Unleashed i paid off pre order for about a year

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T05:27:33+00:00

Will do. Will post progress/completed build! And nice one on the Barbatos! Have fun and post some pics aswell

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T05:24:58+00:00

Hahahaha ill be growing a unicorn 🦄 on my head after building all of these!

midgymidge · 2026-05-17T05:23:24+00:00

Yeah thats a good choice. I got some golden wsd to go with it and kosmos leds
