This is a great kit. I built the 1.0 MG Char's Gelgoog back in around 2004. I took it apart recently and compared the inner frame to the 2.0, and in some areas the 1.0 didn't even have a frame while this has a complete inner frame. I haven't built the 2.0 yet, but extensive comparison makes it readily apparent that this is vastly superior.

It was a super fun build, poseability isn't great, but that's just because they did such a good job reproducing the chunkiness of it, I caused a pretty bad stress mark on the back skirt because I accidentally chipped off one of the male nubs that I was supposed to fit into the kind of inner frame skirt webbing, so be careful with that

This kit is great for a first time builder that wants a large kit that has some amazing shelf presence

I'm still on my current MG Gundam Double X build, but this will be next. Lots of substantial Zeon parts! This one won't cramp the hands. I'm also looking forward to painting this one

I've been told about this site for almost a year now, finally tried them out. They site is incredibly user friendly, the owners are very nice and respond to questions within 24 hours. The shipping is standard but in my case, came a day early(4 days). The thing I loved the most was the communication. My Gelgoog was a backorder purchase and they consistently kept me in the loop of it's ETA and when it finally shipped. All of this gave me the most positive shopping experience to the point that I'll be going through this store from now on. Thank you USAGUNDAMSTORE, I'm very appreciative of your professionalism and patronage, so I'll continue to give you my business and loyalty. I'll be spreading the word as well!!
