Yes, that is very true.. My friend in the States loves them, and I had been sending kits back to him, unable to understand what the fuss was about.. Then, one day, here I am in Mr Max, and I stummble across the Y300 Force Impulse snap kit.. Well, I thought what the heck, I dont know what it is anyways... So I go home, put it together, paint it up, and before you know it, I have an entire collection.. Once I discovered the HG kits, that was it.. I made a decision to stick to 1/144 scale, but when I saw the Force Impulse comming out in 1/100, I just had to try atleast one.. I would have liked it in 1/60, but even for me, Y5000 is alot for one of these things.. So 1/100 will do.. I now want to replace my 1/144 set with 1/100, so I guess I did get hooked.. But I made a prommis that I will only model the kits from the SEED/DESTINY/MSV range.. No more.. Although very tempting..
Anyways, they are great for a lazy afternoon, and you can really make them look great with bit of effort.. A change from the norm.. I think you will enjoy it to be honest! Newly Converted Gundam Head!
