OP, I have an HG vanilla GM. Now, lemme tell you, anyone who knows Gundam knows what a GM is. It's a simple, barebones grunt, a downgrade in all manners, even articulation, from any Gundam, and even every other existing GM High Grade. It comes with few accessories, and is a quick build by any measure.
Yet I love this guy. Of all my figures, I probably fiddled with this guy the most. He's simple and fun and I can't get enough of him. Jim! GM Jim, the dude who won the war but who nobody remembers. GM! The suit that carried the Earth Federation on its shoulders.
I got the HG Ball twin set and I find myself in the same deal. It's extremely basic but I freakin' love my Ball(s)! They're fun. My other figures are the same way. I regularly repose them, look at them, and appreciate them, because they all represent things I like and wanted to have, and now have. I'd love to get the GM II and GM III HGs when I get a chance.
Lego is a slightly different story but the principle is the same; it's fun.
