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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
@@ルクミ-w8mthis is a year later but man, that mgsd strike freedom is fucking insane, as well as the barbatos. some don’t like the proportions of sds, but if you’re into posing and displaying, you’ve gotta check out the mgsd kits, they’re so so amazing
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.
"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?
$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.
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
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.
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!
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
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!
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
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.
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
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....
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
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.
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.
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..
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.
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
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.
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
My local store has a donate parts bin for this very kinda thing. People bring in spare parts they aren't gonna use and either get a little discount on a purchase or can trade in for parts they want from the bin. Helps a lot when you're looking for a single part and don't want to buy a whole kit just for it.
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
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
This is a builders DREAM box! I would LOVE to get a box like this, the kitbashing potential is endless. NOT FOR 220 euros though! Lmfao but the 120 sounds fair
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
Kind of wish over here in the states have the parts replacement treatment they got in japan because there are a handful of gunpla during my early days I wasn't to proud of and would love to go back and fix up on what I could have done much better.
I don't know about now, but they did when Bluefin still existed. I used it when some parts from my RG Sinanju randomly broke due to some sort of chemical reaction they had with a particular brand of super glue. (The parts literally heated up and melted, causing cracks or the entire piece to break in half. Weirdly enough, they didn't break on panel lines or anything like that. They just broke in weird places). It took like 2 months to get the replacement parts, but it worked. But yes, we really need something still, even if the parts have to ship from Japan. I highly doubt that Bandai can justify the costs of opening a model production plant in the USA or Western country.
Yep you should ask the store selling gunpla. I broke the ankle on my mg zz ver ka the first time I tried to move it. Instead of moving it sheared right of like a piece of paper. Contacted the store and they would ask with the supplier. Took over a year for me, didnt count on it anymore, and then the replacement part came haha.
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.
The original builder is a man after my own heart- pop on the foil stickers and bin the decals. If it can stand, it can fight. (Not like high grade decals are that great anyway)
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!!!🤘
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).

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

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

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
junk? more like someone was readying spare parts for a Build Fighters Gunpla Battle in case they were damaged after the battle, lol.
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
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....
Every now and then I look in the sales groups for built kits like this. Awesome stuff for customs
11:17 that's the extra scope for the GN-X's rifle, for use in its long barrel configuration.
some of these are hard to find. in addition, IBO kit prices are waaay too inflated since the pandemic.

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 😭😭
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.
The G Reco Grimoire is a good candidate for a quick custom kit. That thing takes Ma.K paint schemes so well
lmao, I wouldn't even consider this as "junk". It's a treasure box. So impressed with the conditions of the gunplas
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.
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
You know what they always say, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
I do that angled peg snip when cementing. It just removes that stress that pushes the parts apart
Its not junk. Its a customizers haven. And thats not Gack. It's epoxy putty. Your really a straight builder for life.
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.
This is something I wish I knew before getting into trying out customizing gunpla - prioritize second hand over new stuff
Yes, the snipped pegs are to facilitate ease of disassembly. Its a common practice for modelers who paint and customize their kits
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.
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..
11:26 that part is a scope that attaches to the Gn-X’s rifle
9:20 that part is from the hgbf gundam ez-sr based off the gundam ez8
9:10
That is a surveillance camera for HGBF EZ-SR.
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.
The 2 blue bits 16:53 after you Put the star build strike is probably is in Burning gundam
Gunpla bag 12, the red suit is the legalis, red masked ver. Quite a rare find
Honestly this was a really good box
This video is like an archeological dig site and you're trying to assemble dinosaur bones and I love it LMAO
12:19 jist put a Figma madokas head in there! It's mostly canon!
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

11:26 That is the scope for the GN-X's rifle
RIP avalanche exia. I hope you to custom it. That's kit is good for customization
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
Idk what happened on your end, but it cuts back to bag 10 at 33:40
best video youve ever made. definitely worth the $, just the boxes of bits probably cost 250.
Snipping the pegs is for disassembly. The junk on Avalanche Exia is probably just putty for filling in hollow parts.
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

21:17 dead pan close to forgets about the DOUBLE-X's twin satelite canons? XO
Personally I would never ever buy this, but now I want to sell my old craps kits in one big lot 😂
The part for the sazabi goes on the wrist or forearms. I have that kit, and I love it
I hope you can find the Mega Shiki's beam effects, they're yellow beam katanas, simmilar to the RG God Gundam
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.
15:47 star build strike not the galaxy cosmos
Even disregarding the kits, you got like $100 of storage bins and another $30-40 of metal detail parts. I'd say you got a damn good deal there.
" *Absolutely* kicked the *absolute* shit out of it," is peak Mecha commentary.
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
I see the Gundam x kits that's what I wanted to see a review on. Great haul 👍
Do you have still more rooms for your gunplas?
This is a builders DREAM box! I would LOVE to get a box like this, the kitbashing potential is endless. NOT FOR 220 euros though! Lmfao but the 120 sounds fair
Pieces are cut and no stickers for painting later. I do that for kits I have a conversion for
the guns with the Megashiki are add-on parts for the Powered GM Cardigan.
Great video! I'd enjoy a kitbash video with the new kits or a how-to-build gunpla type video.
Ah, the come back of 'Where's that Gundam Part'. Been waiting to see if it does return.
You should try to make samus armor from the grimgerde parts

6:12 piece belongs to one of Sazabi's wrists
Can I buy that HG Age 2 Dark Hound from you?
9:13 its from HG EZ-SR
the stuff in the avalanche exia is putty used to fix hollow parts. seems the previous owner got lazy and didnt remove the excess putty
Buying at 2nd hand & boneyard market is really fun. Its cheap & sometimes you find gold or treasure in there.

From what I can see from banshee's left arm, this guy might plan to build a unicorn with beam smart gun, not with the claw too
This is heaven for gunpla custom builder.. but hell for straight build collector. Haha..
“Buy a random box of gunpla and start on hard mode” dying😂
The original builder is a man after my own heart- pop on the foil stickers and bin the decals. If it can stand, it can fight. (Not like high grade decals are that great anyway)

Recently i bought a junk RX-78 Ver.ka metal composite for 1000 yen..All of its parts are intact and accessories,just without a box..
A box of junk for others is a box of great kits gundam collection for us hobbyist and collectors!
One day son goes off to university and mum packs up all his gunpla including his little box of spare poly caps and hands and sells it online.
