That isn't junk .... It's gunpla heaven
Kitbash heaven
Yesssss
true
Yes!!!
In the sense that all those gunpla died and went somewhere better.
That brownish stuff in the exia avalanche’s hollow parts is Tamiya quick type epoxy putty. Builders use it to filling empty space like the ones you see there. You can sand it down.
Went to the trouble of hiding the hollow-ness of the parts, but didn't go the distance to paint over and hide *that*. :/
Also looks like it could be Tamiya polyester putty. Which is a similar color I think
@jokechur a pass of glue right? Should fill the holes, then sand and paint
Dunno if this has been mentioned (LOOOOOTTA comments!) but the snipped connections, particularly the peg holes is a building trick for ease of disassembly. I learned it at a con workshop ages ago. Basically, it allows you to test fit, look for gaps/unevenness, etc and also paint parts separately. I had never seen it in the wild. (I also haven't really used the technique in ages).
yeah looks like our gaikotsu here is new to the world of kit bashing or any actual modding. this is actually a really really really common test fit method in japan. also from the way gaikotsu juding this seller with "who builds kit like this? straight build, no nothing" on that build strike, we can see that our gaikotsu prob doesn't know a lot about test fit as well.
9:13 that's the EZ-SR Shadow Phantom's radar scope, it's supposed to go over its shield
I actually started my Gunpla collection by buying 7 already completed kits because I wasn't sure at the time that I would fell in love with Gunpla. Nowadays I only buy unbuild Gunpla because otherwise you miss the building experience of the kit.
That's the most ass backwards way of getting into the hobby
@@mastermega8 Well, it was a local seller and after those 7 kits I bought 2 HG kits that were new. First Gunpla I ever built was HG Dagger L. Second was Miss Sazabi.
The most value I find in gunpla is the building experience.
Trying to build a kit as close to perfection as possible can be quite frustrating yet very relaxing at the same time.
That's why I really enjoy the RG kits even though it's mostly just build, pose, and leave them there forever.
Angled pegs are for ease of disassembly. So you can snap em and then paint them kits later. The coating of paint is gonna thicken up those pegs when you reassemble after painting so it wouldn’t feel as loose as it is right now.
$251 seems like a lot for a box of someone's "junk" but considering almost everything that showed up was mostly complete and there was only the one dud Exia kit AND a lot of these were ones you didn't already have, I'd say you made out like a bandit. I'm very jealous of that Grimoire and Airmaster.
I was expecting to see like 90% of the gunpla missing their heads, arms, legs, weapons, broken parts here and there and so on from the title
This is literally a perfect deal
"Who builds kits like this?" 15:18 Probably some kid. When I was young, there was no way I would be able to convince my parents to buy any painting equipment, any modeling materials. I could barely afford to buy the model kits that were available in Toys-R-Us in the 90s as a middle schooler. So I would build the kits with only my bare hands, no nippers, no tools. And often I would leave the stickers off, dreaming of the possibility that one day, I would be able to paint the models.
Everyone starts small and builds their collection and tools over time. I started building the original Wing kits back in the late 90's/early 00's with just my hands (duh) and a hand-me-down fishing tackle box of very basic modeling supplies that my father gave me. The box really only contained some half-dried Testors model paints, some very (badly) cheap paint brushes, a basic hobby knife, some old model glue, and some paper paint trays and toothpicks. Eventually, my skills grew, and I slowly purchased new paints, tools, etc. After a hiatus for college, I returned to the hobby as an adult, where I continued to explore techniques that I was able to learn with thanks to the internet, and I continued getting more and better tools. Eventually, I got an airbrush and converted a small room in my house into a building room for my kits.
I'm certainly not one of those guys you see on TH-cam who build those masterpiece kits with all the details and stuff, but my abilities have grown 1000-fold since I was a kid, and the tools and building areas I use now and way better than I used to have.
Point is: you have to start somewhere, and we all should be starting cheap (I'd be concerned about the person who buys their first Gunpla kit, an airbrush, and hundreds of dollars worth of tools and supplies, before even attempting the first build!). Once you realize that it's a hobby you enjoy, then you grow the willingness to invest time, money, and effort into getting better equipment and tools for it... gradually (unless you're really well off!).
Came here to say that. My first 5 or so kits I didn’t use a nipper. I did panel lining, sure, but there are some noticeable nubs even still to this day! So could be an early build or one a younger sibling/friend made?
Lucked into a collection like this (albeit in better shape) a few years ago. Literally filled the bed of my truck with kits (and their boxes) for I think $180. Poor guy's wife was making him get rid of them. Think I wound up with about a dozen MGs and another fifteen or twenty HGs and RGs.
Is this what marriage is about? Fuck.
Poor man must have been crying selling them 😭
That guy needs a new wife who actually values his happiness.
Horrible wife
Divorce is always an option
As someone who wants to get into customizing gunpla I love the idea of getting bulk parts so I can test out different techniques until I feel comfortable doing it on an actual kit
The cuts on the pegs are really for disassembly. People do that for test fitting a kit before customization
I've done this multiple times to get my gunpla collection customized. Glad you considered buying those.
Been expecting them to be like, that old or pre-2000's _junk_ HG. But no, they are just as recent and in *good condition!* You hit a gold mine right there and the possibilities of customizations are endless!
Those random weapons, shield and that weird hand at 40:46 were from a campaign that if you go to certain hobby stores in japan and buy certain gunpla(I believe it was stuff from the Build Fighters line), you were given a random mini kit that was a random weapon used for customizing. There were a couple of campaigns like that and each campaigns had about 4-6 little mini kits.
I was lucky enough that the shop I get my gunplas from, here in Canada, were able to get some of them, so I had gotten a couple of them.
I bought a bag of junk gunpla in Osaka... Brought me so much joy to reassemble them and give them a nice top coat. I even bought an HG weapons set so they have better load out!
9:14 I believe that it goes on the shield of the ez-sr
11:24 I think that's the scope for the GN-x's beam rifle, and it slides into the slot in the main rifle part, not the long barrel
16:54 and for those, they are for attaching the smaller wings to the side of the cannons of the star build strike's backpack
third can be right and left arm part of try burning
@@0veats I don't remember the try burning having clear parts with a lip like that, so I believe it does belong to the the SBS
Very cool! I wasn't aware people were interested in pre-built 'junk' model kits. I have dozens I've been needing to part with due to lack of space to keep them....
Just yesterday I picked up more than 40 HG pre-built kits locally. I'm definitely going to use them for customs.
Every now and then I look in the sales groups for built kits like this. Awesome stuff for customs
16:50 The extra parts on the star build strike are adapters for putting the smaller wing pieces in its legs
12:03 Yes, I always do this while first assembling, this way parts sperate much more easily.
However, it requires cement to do the seamless process before painting.
9:55 I'm surprised that that GN-X and Age-1 Titus wraped in one plastic didn't merge into the Ogre GN-X
9:19 the part is from - Gundam Ez-SR. Great video. Can't wait to see what you make with these kits. Good luck and keep on with amazing content.
I can only think the seller just kept piling projects on top of uncompleted projects as they continue to buy gunpla and was just too overwhelmed to do any of it.
Its pretty funny how I can recognize certain gunpla more easy than i recognize peoples faces
You know what they always say, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
This is something I wish I knew before getting into trying out customizing gunpla - prioritize second hand over new stuff
Great video! I'd enjoy a kitbash video with the new kits or a how-to-build gunpla type video.
The G Reco Grimoire is a good candidate for a quick custom kit. That thing takes Ma.K paint schemes so well
Seeing Banshee here brought back the times I had mine. Putting it together and almost pulling my hair for how jank and broken the completed kit was. At least that's what happened to me, I'd be surprised to hear from anyone who has good experience with any HG Unicorn kit
I just assembled an HG Unicorn FA and didn't hate it _too_ much. Sure, some of the white color-correcting stickers can just f[all] right off for all I care. Honestly, I mostly got it so I didn't have to dismantle my RG Uni FA, so in that regard I can't be too disappointed.
The Full Armor was the highlight of the experience. Between the shield trio, that's _three_ dual-miniguns, and they're already perfectly set up to be rigged to the underside of a shield, Gouf Custom style.
You're so lucky, I've always been told that the Unicorn/Banshee kits were wobbly, loose and pieces would fall off. Granted I only ever put together HG Banshee Norn and that was destroyed when it hit the floor and many pieces broke off of it
The HG Stark Jegan and Jegan ecoas for me were great buulds. The jesta not so much
I'm doing a custom paint on the HG Phenex atm, but yeah. The complete kit felt like ass when moving it around.
My first kit was the hg banshee destroy mode and I've loved it to bits since I first built it years ago, granted I modified the hell out of it 😭😭
Wow what a haul actually. Was thinking about kit bashing myself since there is such a MG drought lately, but yeah expensive especially if I have never tried it before.
Some of those random gray weapons are from the customize campaigns Bandai has done over the years in Japan where you get a weapon set when you buy a kit at a store.
I do that angled peg snip when cementing. It just removes that stress that pushes the parts apart
11:17 that's the extra scope for the GN-X's rifle, for use in its long barrel configuration.
I just built my first few Gunpla! As a new fan and someone who'd also use this stuff on my Warhammer I'd love a big haul like this!
Soooo… you got a box of kitbash bits and paint testers…
I recently used a really precise drill to make bullet holes in one of the legs of my Gundam Muriel. I also made the holes more realistic by scraping their sides with a dull cutter.
That bit scope looking thing you found in one of the first bags goes to the RX-79[G]Ez-SR3 Gundam Ez-SR Shadow Phantom probably extra parts that came with the Ez8.
Gunpla bag 12, the red suit is the legalis, red masked ver. Quite a rare find
some of these are hard to find. in addition, IBO kit prices are waaay too inflated since the pandemic.
those little blue pieces are to be put on legs so you can use the shoulder wings to optionally stick the wings on outer calves of legs in place of the pink clear pieces there. I just built that kit yesterday..
The build fighter kits are my favorites, I would cry seeing these kits torn a part😭 (if I were to mess them up in my collection.) But as Meijin Tatsuya Yuuki says, "Gunpla is freedom!" Build on Gaikotsu! Can't wait to see all your custom builds!!!🤘
The slashed tips IS for easier disassembly.
Yes, the snipped pegs are to facilitate ease of disassembly. Its a common practice for modelers who paint and customize their kits
I would like to try buying these kind of gunpla bulk in future. It is interesting to see how other build theirs in close up. Also it doesn't hurt my conscience as much in taking them apart for parts
Authentic Premium Japanese dust, it adds to the provenance
that actually looks kinda fun..... just get a big ol box of gunpla and see how many you can blindly put together or back together
I see the Gundam x kits that's what I wanted to see a review on. Great haul 👍
Wow been an avid fan of yours and been watching you for gunpla reviews before buying one and now Ive got so many from your reviews and Im kinda amuse about the build burning which I lack in my kamiki GUNPLA .. hoping if I could buy or bargain it into some kits of mine
lmao, I wouldn't even consider this as "junk". It's a treasure box. So impressed with the conditions of the gunplas
I love the teddy bear in the beginning great video
at 9:15 that's some kind of scope or scanner or sensor. Goes on the shield from the highly customizable Gundam Build Ez8 box.
To answer your question with the cuts on the chest of the Age1 Titus on @12:05, I have been told that is indeed use for disassembly ease. Btw I love this
Honestly this was a really good box
the guns with the Megashiki are add-on parts for the Powered GM Cardigan.
That Wing Gundam Honoo is so freaking cool! I love it to bits.
Mecha, how's the backlog with 30 Minutes stuff? They just announced a bunch of new stuff for Missions and Sisters AND THOSE ARE AWESOME!
Anyway, if you have some acetone, you can use that with your pack of nubs to make sprue goo to patch up the loose parts of the kits, and even glue parts together and remove seam lines for your future customs.
11:26 that part is a scope that attaches to the Gn-X’s rifle
Yes, that's why i collect the Real type army gunpla like zaku MS08 etc
This is heaven for gunpla custom builder.. but hell for straight build collector. Haha..
This video is like an archeological dig site and you're trying to assemble dinosaur bones and I love it LMAO
9:10
That is a surveillance camera for HGBF EZ-SR.
The 2 blue bits 16:53 after you Put the star build strike is probably is in Burning gundam
21:17 dead pan close to forgets about the DOUBLE-X's twin satelite canons? XO
so you know at 29:19 the putty filling is just to fill empty parts and it's basically just plastic once it hardens, just have to sand it down and then paint over it, i assume that's what they were going to do
also at 33:00 roughly you have part of the bag 10 video in bag 13
The "white scope" is off a EZ-8 or EX-SR arm
Honestly in this video i literally see mechagaikotsu unboxing a bunch of happy meal toys....LOL 🤣🤣
12:19 jist put a Figma madokas head in there! It's mostly canon!
Excited to see the customs
For me it’s always been the V fins since I was a kid whenever I lose or break something on a Gunpla it’s always some part of the V fin
junk? more like someone was readying spare parts for a Build Fighters Gunpla Battle in case they were damaged after the battle, lol.
Buying at 2nd hand & boneyard market is really fun. Its cheap & sometimes you find gold or treasure in there.
I'm doing my customization with AOZ TITANS TEST TEAM. HRAMBABI 2 AOZ REBOOT incoming in June
that scope part goes on the EZ-8 SR sheild
best video youve ever made. definitely worth the $, just the boxes of bits probably cost 250.
"Gunpla is freedom" -Meijin Kawaguchi III
Yes I’ve been waiting for this vid sense I saw the short
RIP avalanche exia. I hope you to custom it. That's kit is good for customization
9:20 that part is from the hgbf gundam ez-sr based off the gundam ez8
11:26 That is the scope for the GN-X's rifle
A big ole box of junk gundam model kits that would be great for a battle diorama with various mechs that have been destroyed in battle
Hey mecha! Awesome video btw. So I'm working on a gunpla documentary for a school project and I'm planning on posting it to youtube and I was wondering if I could use some of your footage. Of course I will credit you but if you say no I understand
LOL that RG strike is more intact than mine is (it's only ever been posed and left on a shelf).
Bag 3 has some Zoids parts in that chaos bag. I see some parts from a Liger Zero and Fire Phoenix.
a lot of times i will build kits roughly like that to customize and then just not its hard to keep track sometimes
The amount of costume build with this many part is much delicious!
This isn’t a box of junk, it’s heaven of modification part
Snipping the pegs is for disassembly. The junk on Avalanche Exia is probably just putty for filling in hollow parts.
Its not junk. Its a customizers haven. And thats not Gack. It's epoxy putty. Your really a straight builder for life.
You should try to make samus armor from the grimgerde parts
I hope you can find the Mega Shiki's beam effects, they're yellow beam katanas, simmilar to the RG God Gundam
So you basically showed us gunpla heaven, nice✨
I'm actually building a hg Banshee right now. The v fin antenna thing and the face chin thing just kept falling off when i was trying to install them.
I find it weird that to get the iron nail arm armor for the ntd banshee you have to get the non ntd version cause it comes with the opened up one with psycho frame instead of the closed fist version
Can't wait for the kitbashing action!
Then angled snips on the pegs make disassembly easier
I wish you'd review some of those kits esp the ones you haven't done before like the Gundam Xs and the Airmaster. Thanks
I'd love to see you make Custom gunpla and doing showcasing on this channel.
i think that scope was a head piece from "Reborns gundam" from 00
If this many stuff come from only around 200 dollar I can say that it kinda worth it like there are many kit and some are in great quality while other can be use for other project
