                        Question about a couple of Gundam kits

                        OK, so I was making a list of the kits I want and some of the HGUCs have me confused.  I was looking on gundamstoreandmore and a few of his kits are only $8.  Now I made the mistake of buying a $5 no grade kit and I won't do that again.  I'm looking at the Z'gok and the Gyan.  The Gyans listing says its a new version of the model.  Is it as good as the HGUC's that are like $12-15?  Is it just that these guys don't have many accessories or anyhting? 

                        If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.

                        seems there are some no grade kits that are LIKE MG or HG kits but ungraded...gotta be wary of those too......their packaging is diferent, Very Bandai like without all the proper logos. I saw them at a hobby shop once...and a freind purchased them on deep discount. good thing he got them cheap.

                        The 8$ hguc are cheaper because of less parts, simple deigns, and sometimes error

                        guntank is way out of scale

                        the gyan for example, is only about 4 or 5 trees, only one being a full size tree (poly caps included)  The build and detail is the same as any old HGUC, its just a simpler model, IT IS NOT A NG
