Huh... so, I'm not a Gunpla guy, I never really watched Macross, but recently I had put together a Figurise Krillin (I collect Figuarts DB figures, and the Krillin is expensive, old and kind of shitty) which was pretty fun, so I went digging for this old model kit that I bought on my first trip to Asia a few years ago.
Pulled it out today, it's an LBX model kit called Magna-Orthus. I don't have much familiarity with LBX, I played the game a bit on the 3DS when it was localized. I think I bought this figure at a TRU in Macau for about $100 HKD (or possibly Macanese pataca, same difference), roughly $12 USD or somewhere thereabouts.
I put him together this evening. Pretty fun, I enjoyed it enough that I think I may start looking into getting into Gunpla a bit. So then I looked up this dude to get more info about what he's all about... Fucking OOPS, it looks like his model kit goes for like $100+ USD these days.
Did I fuck up and put together some collector's item bullshit, bros? Or am I missing something?
