I think that list proves (once again) that UC always sells. Heck, even SEED, which comes in second, doesn't even come in close. Makes me surprised that Bandai is continuing with HG AGE next year, but I'm happy if those kits do get released.

Anyway, I just started on my HGUC Sazabi, and switched from a metal file to sandpaper for the first time. Even with the finest grit (not sure what's the number, but it's definitely higher than 1000), I still can see visible scratches. I started with 400-600, then 800-1000 and lastly with my finest sandpaper, which is supposed to polish the surface. Any help? I'm not sure if my technique is right - I've tried pressing the sandpaper hard, pressing it lightly, going in circles, going in one direction, etc, but the scratches are still there. I'm thinking of going out to pick up a Tamiya polishing compound tomorrow. Is that the only way to remove the scratches?

EDIT: Read somewhere that I can use toothpaste as a cheaper alternative, is this true?
