the store that I normally goes to for my gundam models closed down, any suggestion for online shops? I ask this because the ones on ebay that I bought always turns out to be bootlegs and the last one tried to steal $900 from my visa =_=;;

Where I shop? GG Infinite eBay Amazon (Prime shipping ftw!) Gundam Planet Gundam Store & More Tatsu Hobby I don't know where you live so I can't really suggest stores outside of the US. And if it's something not in stock at those stores, I try emailing them to see if they can special order a kit for me. Hope that helps.

I agree after reading comments on this forum for months/years. I always learned hobby link japan was good. Orderd two old HGUC from them an got them in 10 days. Faster then i thought. I would order from them again if i wanted more old models again.

Important ones (main story): MS Gundam -> Zeta Gundam -> ZZ Gundam -> Char’s Counterattack -> Gundam Unicorn -> Gundam F91 -> Victory Gundam The last two are optional but they’re still nice to watch. Side Stories: Gundam 0080, The 08th MS Team, MS IGLOO, Gundam 0083, etc Watch them if you can appreciate older animation. The animation themselves are far from crappy since many of them are masterpieces in their respective era.

Actually, it doesn’t mean that the others are not important. Some of them are fill-in-the-blanks of what the main story left out or don’t address. For example, Gundam 0083 is as important to the overall universe as the main stories (despite its “side story” status) since it ties the loose end of the period-gap between MS Gundam and Zeta Gundam.

MS Gundam -> 08th MS Team -> Gundam 0080 -> Gundam 0083 -> Zeta Gundam -> ZZ Gundam -> Char’s Counterattack -> Gundam Unicorn I mix old and new series there so that you won’t get bored by watching 70s & 80s animation all the time (but they’re still in correct chronological order imo).

I got to say, I really do disagree with Unicorn being considered more important then Victory.
As it stands Victory was the last full series gundam Tomino directed (UC) and it does an important job of showing the future and how things had changed. Granted I think Unicorn is far better then Victory, but I don't think it's right to say it's more important. At this point I really don't think Unicorn should be considered any different then 08th Team or Stardust Memory as it's an OVA that was added to fill in the gap just like them. |

Also, I don’t think Gundam Unicorn is a side story. One reason is that we have the returning main characters from the main story (not just cameo) like Kai, Beltorchika, Bright Noa, and Mineva (if you want to count her). Also, the event happened in Unicorn took center stage, not just side-story-ish battles like in 08th MS Team, MS IGLOO, etc.

I see your point with Unicorn and why you would consider it a main line series and not side, but still I do disagree simply because of what it was and how late it was added into canon. |

Some of the older series got remaster movies, which somewhat/greatly updates some of the animation, some more so to the point where scene changes are awkward purely due to the age gap in animation MS Gundam 0079 and Zeta Gundam both got 3 movie remasters (zeta being the awkward animation changes I mentioned) While it is a nice idea to switch so you dont kill yourself on old animation (unless you dont mind) I highly suggest watching the full series for both, IMO the plot will be easier to understand and there will be alot more character development too, and it gives you time to become attached to/hate the various characters and mechs And isnt this discussion quite off topic for a models thread? Better insert something relevant I MUST GET HG CLANCHE CUSTOM!!!!! Looks so friggin good out of the box |
