Alright guys. I just went to my local Hobby Store and saw that they had an MG Unicorn Ver. Ka. Kit, and an MG Infinite Justice kit, both for the same price. This will be my first time to get an MG kit, though I have a ton of HG kits. My question is, which one should I get? They also have an MG Zeta Gundam (some special 20th anniversary Metallic Coating edition) for a little bit less money, but I am more drawn to the designs of the Unicorn and Infinite Justice.

Get Infinite Justice, Unicorn is a more advanced level kit and shouldn't be your first MG. I know a few people to started off by getting Unicorn and just messed it up in some way or an other. So yeah id go with Infinite Justice.

I know that it differs greatly with different people with different kits,and some people paint or line before they build and all that,but I want to know a rough average estimation for the building process alone,if that is anybody here has one.Any input is appreciated.

It takes me around 2-3 hours. I go at a fairly slow pace I guess.

If price is a deciding factor, then get the Unicorn.

I think the Zeta you're talking about is the 1.0 version that many people say is dreadful, so definitely don't get that. As for Unicorn and IJ,

Unicorn: less poseable, more fragile (especially the horn!), awesome in Destroy form.

IJ: doesn't have the wow factor of Unicorn's transformation system, but has far better articulation and more accessories.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah I've been a little concerned over how fragile I have heard the Unicorn kit is.



Thanks for the suggestion! (as you can see, I cut down your post fo space reasons, haha.) Yeah, both the Unicorn and IJ are $62. I am a pretty frequent customer there, so I also get a small discount. But anyway, yeah price was kind of a factor. Thanks for the info on articulation and such. Definitely will take that into consideration.



Thanks for the info. I never really seriously considered the Zeta, but it was an option, lol. The things you mentioned about the Unicorn and IJ are the main reasons why I am struggling with my decision. I love Destroy mode on Unicorn, but I also love the posability and weapons on IJ. Still a hard decision for me, haha.

If you mean a clean OOB kit, it'll usually take me a good...day...? Regardless of scale.

I was never really "determined" to finish a kit since I really enjoy the process. So why would I care about the time when it isn't a chore or I don't have a deadline. Play some music you enjoy, have the TV on, or play some Youtube clips and then build it.

I mean, if you really enjoy the process, you shouldn't be worrying about time.
