>>11186524>>11186601I almost fell into the same trap you did awhile back. Went to my local brick and mortar, and saw this thing on the shelf. My brain saw "HG Sword Impulse" and immediately thought about buying it, since I thought it was the same as the HGCE Sword Impulse that was being sold on P-Bandai at the time. But then I looked closer at the packaging and saw the production year, and realized this was the old 2005 HG SEED Sword Impulse which came out while the show was airing, and thus not only much older but also much crappier.
If I did end up buying it, I probably would have used it as an opportunity to try to paint it as a Sword Impulse Spec II. But not everyone has all the time in the world unfortunately.
