The main one being Victory, however there are few models for it, and even then, it don't have that much options aside from the HEXA and weapons from the V2..... O wait, there's also the AGE-3, which uses a core block system (though the core block is mounted somewhat differently). The HG AGE units in general are extremely compatible with each other, assuming you are sticking to suits within the same factions. Personally I would suggest starting here if you decide to not go with the Strike/Striker packs |

I just came back from my Japan trip yesterday. Bought these guys on impulse when I did a couple of trips to Odaiba.
Spoiler for Unicorns:
I never knew the Strikes Odaiba Set was a thing... Anyone has any input/comments about them?

As for the Phenex, unfortunately you bought one with the non-shiny gold instead of this one: But it's fine if you like the non-shiny gold the HGUC Phenex has .

It's an older kit and pretty simple, but has loads of good stuff. They were designed for the old flimsy 1/144 Victory Gundam line, but I think you can make do with minor mods. Ideally grab 2-3 packs. In the set are extra Beam Rifles (Victory/GunEz and V2 type), a Beam Pistol, and the bule-and-whtie things are VSBRs that are mounted on the Victory Gundam's waist. I once (many years back) got a 1/144 Victory Hexa, slapped the Dash pack and VSBRs on it, and called it Arsenal Gundam. Unfortunately that was in the 1990's and I've since lost the original kit.

Personally, I would go on Dalong and check out all the HG kits and see which ones have the back connections you are looking for From there its simply getting the packs As another note, there are connectors/adaptors which may help you mount striker packs onto other units. They can be found in the build fighters add-on stuff and the builders parts series. Of course, this is if you are willing to go out of your way for additional purchases |

Oh, sorry, yeah, plavsky wing, my bad, think I'll paint the Build Strike in RX-78-2 colors, or maybe put more emphasis on the blue, and I plan on converting my Powered GM Cardigan with space pirate decals, know any good sites I can use to print Skulls and crossbones off?

- The local distribution of Bandai stuff in the Philippines was pretty messed up back when I last was in the Philippines (2008). You had walls of the same type of kits, but very few of the newer or popular ones. In Makati at that time I went to a couple of toy and hobby stores that sold the original Ver 1.0 MG Gundam and had WALLS full of the old Kamen Rider Kuuga Souchaku Henshin figures. But no Gundam 00 kits at that time.
The guys who get kits either order online or they go to a shop that doesn't source their kits from the local suppliers (and thus pay more for it). Some toy collector shops in the Shoppesvill section of Greenhills Shopping centre would have had them (I missed going there since they had lots of oddball stuff, like customized 1/12 Koji Kabuto figures). I don't know if it's gotten better since then. When I started with Gunpla it was in the 80's and only hobby shops and stores in Chinatown had the LEGIT ones at the time. Bootleg Gunpla were (and probably still are) pretty rampant in Divisoria and Binondo street markets.

Blame the prick from baguio who travels to manila with a budget in the hundred thousands, I hear this guy buys up most of the Gunpla in the metro area whereas at most I can only spend $200 in one trip.
@Wavehawk Its gotten better, that and I know the warehouse where they store the Gunpla that comes into the country is, so I can buy them cheap too, oh, and free complimentary weapons.
