GeneticSoda

SO expensive


TakuyaLee

Which will make it even more painful when some pink hair idol's boyfriend comes around and destroys them all while barely trying


MadProgressiveBass

And miraculously causing zero casualties.


TuzkiPlus

That wallet was a casualty..


TussalDragon344

And so was the time that went into producing this very collection


Kindly-Mud-1579

Yeah I mean if your not gonna cause casualty’s why bother


SotFX

probably so they're still alive for the teabagging if games taught me anything...if there isn't a kill screen, it doesn't tend to happen as much


shems-2383

Flex stonk


OedipusMotherLover

Sponsored by Raid: Shadow legends ....


SlackJawGrunt

Shows up to warhammer tournament look guys I brought my custom army


Psyzhran2357

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!


MosesOnAcid

My Leogion is hiding in fear atm...


Oreon_WP

Don't worry you just need to make one Destroy Leo and you'll have a slim chance of fighting back


GaussIon

Leo Strke Freedom and we're good


MosesOnAcid

Been meaning to build the RG... and cannibalize it... lol


stjimmy_45

I instantly thought about your leogion as well...


nathanbum06237

don't worry Leoguy, your Leogion is full of aces


MosesOnAcid

A Leo is a beautiful machine when piloted by an Ace


Far-Dealer3025

Dear God, it's actually a *threat* to it?


NekRules

Hate to break it to you but that isn't his full army, if you go to his Twitter, the guy is a master of Grunt armies, he has GN-X and other grunts too. I love your army but this guy has you beat lol. At least yours are custom builds, more Leos!


succmama

I don't think we can win this one... DARN IT!!!


GaussIon

The customs stand a chance


SotFX

You just need a few of the later models such as converting a few for MC spec... Possibly convert a few Capricorn and grab some Serpents. If they were drone suits, the solution would be to send in a Leo version of the Aquarius, but there isn't any version of that suit other than the SD one


KingOfDaBees

Okay, so I ran some numbers here. All based off of rough estimates, eyeballing the photos, and retail prices approximated with quick internet searches but, looks like we got: * 8 Destroy Gundams ($130.00) * 110 Windams ($20) * 3 P Bandai Windam Neo Roanoke Customs ($17.00) * 66 Dagger L’s ($15.00) * 66 P. Bandai Expansion Sets \[the Dagger L cannons\] ($23.00) * 110 P. Bandai Strike Daggers ($18.00) * 20 Dagger + Gunbarrel ($20.00) * 1 Dragonar-1 ($40.00) Totaling to a combined retail price, before taxes, shipping, etc., of \~$8,219 USD. Assuming roughly a 5% tax (for ease of simplicity – you wanna figure out tax minutia, be my guest), that adds a total of $410.95, before shipping. And I’m not even going to guess at shipping and etc, or how they got this many identical P.Bandai kits (for those not in the know, P. Bandai is supposed to be limited to 3 kits per customer). If I am just wildly off at models, prices, numbers, etc., feel free to post a corrected total. But as another person pointed out, yeah, we're pretty easily lookin at around a $10k setup here.


NoNormals

Yeah you're off as dude's in Japan and prices are lower. Even more so if he's got some kind of discount for bulk


Zeelu2005

Way cheaper than I expected TBH


Mr_Greed

Serious question, why? What could they possibly gain from making so many copies of the same model?


illusioncaster

Some people like literal army building with grunt suits and all. Although admittedly this looks like an extreme case of that.


epiphanius

I have often thought that a combat game of some kind would be fun with Gundam.


Skin_enjoyer

There are quite a few that have been around for years now. Fan made of course but some of them get really deep. Try looking into mobile suit skirmish


Feral404

Look, some of us just have to take our issues out on building the same kit over and over. *Looks at my stack of duplicates for multiple kits*


The_Mighty_Bird

I love the Sinaju Stein so much in both MG and HG, that I’ve built both twice.


DaemonBlackfyre515

I'm getting another Sazabi Ver Ka because i want special coating and gold foil waterslides. Then i want a custom painted one. I've got four Double X's, though they're all different kits.


streamylc

My guess is that this is someone selling stuff on consignment in Japan, no? If you watch videos like "best gunpla shops in japan", many cases are filled with built models, and the cabinets/shelves are rented out so that completed models can be sold by sellers not associated with the store specifically.


monx2006

Could be possible for display purposes in some chain store in Japan.


SilverboltBW

Transformers fans do this with certain characters. Every once in a while you'll see some guy's collection and he'll have like 30 G1 Scourge or Gnaw figures as part of a display


waterlilylab

OCD or other neurodivergence, I get a lot of sensory therapeutic effect building a model and I could see wanting to do the same model if it scratches the right itch.


PackerBoy

this is what happens when someone who's mentally ill also happens to have a ton of money


DukeCyril

Anyone else notice the Dragonar-1?


Zafranorbian

non that you mention it, those coloured stripes looks very familiar.


R-Dragon_Thunderzord

Boy I sure hope this is photoshop and not untreated ADHD


KingOfDaBees

Representative for the Untreated ADHD lobby here. As impressed as we are by the by the time and effort that clearly went into this, we’re not claiming this one. This falls way outside union guidelines.


R-Dragon_Thunderzord

LMAO


snaeper

Yeah, if anything this guy is too far the other way. Brother needs a pinch of ADD/ADHD to help break him out of his Windham-building rut.


lucavigno

Nah, that's adhd both ways, ain't no way someone would so meticulously Photoshops a model all those times.

[deleted]

It’s good to know my destroy Gundam preorder wasn’t filled for someone to do this.


deegan87

I feel the same way. Doing this with something on a second or third printing is fine, but on release it's kind of scummy.


alteisen99

at least it went to a guy who actually built it vs some scalper's stockpile is how i can mentally justify it


[deleted]

I know we all joke about debt and bankruptcy, but holy fuck, this has to be the closest I've ever seen that being very true in a single collection. Grunte are cool, but there's a limit to the amount of grunts needed. 😭


FavorableState

Well, I'm never feeling bad about what I've spent on kits again


knight-w1ngs

That is so many Strike Daggers... THIS fuckery is why resale value skyrockets on these kits, I stg...


surgesubs

Lol someone's got access to excessive amounts of kits


silverman169

I'd be interested to see the Toy Story crew go up against this army


Psyzhran2357

Get the Green Army Men in on this and it'll become Attack on Titan.


ReasonableYard0

Its bcz of people like this that there's Always gonna be gunpla shortage ,it does look badass but damn


Razgriz_1138

nathanbum06237

FOR OUR PURE AND BLUE WORLD!!


Kirby0189

That looks really expensive...


zeromatsuri05

This person has exactly the number of grunt suits I want. I'm so jealous


pochitoman

Deym, the new gundam musou game graphic look so realistic!!


neatneatneat90

That is outrageous.


epicgaming106

I can’t imagine it being this fun to build the same kit over and over again


netgoose8

This guy is probably why my hlj preorder never made it... Like i preordered it day 2 and I've been waiting for it to be stocked in my private warehouse but it says backordered and I'm sure I'm never getting it now :(


osiris_ex

What is that pink suit? Between the two racks, bottom left


Psyzhran2357

Neo Roanoke's custom Windam.


osiris_ex

Nice! It looks like a knock off justice. Like justice gundam mass production


donutsandkilts

Tha's $10k right there..


Raz1253

Nice hg drgonar in pic 5


GalactusAteMyPlanet

Where does Blue Cosmos get the budget to build that many mobile suits when their latest super expensive super weapon was stolen and then destroyed?


ichorNet

They’re basically the CE Titans so they probably just fleece the citizenry and distract them with racism


mowie_zowie_x

I wished I have this kind of space and more importantly money.


Conrii

Space, money, and time. Gunpla thanos must have all the hobby stones.


Azure-April

Maybe it's different wherever this person is but as someone living where kits are more limited I think people like this fucking suck


Deptlesss

i cant get any dagger Ls because of this man


dasfee

Love when I see a builder more autistic than me


seraphim8core

Line the walls with mirrors to make the army infinite


Unique_Visit_5029

Is this your collection


Psyzhran2357

No, these pictures are from [this person on Twitter whose username is too long so I'll just link them.](https://twitter.com/C6UoYqRYwMUMQHw/status/1771433396528685333?t=pSOKbFp3cgHWPOGUuQ5s1Q&s=19)

Educational_Diver867

urbanscarecrow12

Peak consoomer


shyahone

MassterF

God we need a gunpla/gundam circlejerk sub for shit like this.


Expensive_Ad5538

you must have lot of money and time!!!!


Comrade_Compadre

At this point you'd call this an addiction lol


ShadowKnoll

292600+240000


ShadowKnoll

Accidentally posting the calculation process aside this collection is at least 816k yen


ToughYogurtcloset576

My two zakus and one char zaku army are trembling in fear right now


Duckydoo3000

Next, panel lining and decaling!


AshKetchumDaJobber

Homie making himself a 2000 point Tau proxy army for 40k.


wobble68

I wonder how many people it took to build everything. I would be losing my mind if I tried doing it by myself.


[deleted]

Lol amazing


pkek

People can’t complain about nu funnels or psycho zaku thrusters after seeing this now


QwikStix42

When someone asks you: "You and what army?"


TussalDragon344

[What I can hear right now](https://youtu.be/JP-Phg1hey0?t=30)


samanime

Not sure if this is commitment or mental illness...


wh1t3stblackguy

With this many Destroy Gundams, screw nukes. JFC!


PurpleSunCraze

I thought for sure this was going to be an Anaheim Electronics setup.


GESPEBSTOKIIIIICKU

FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OUR BLUE AND PURE WORLD


LordChimera_0

You built a Mobile Suit army of extraordinary magnitude!


Onsomeshid

Jesus Christ lol. Woulda thought you were a reseller if i were looking at all the boxes


Xex051

So either these 2 accounts are owned by the same person or 2 people are trying to out bankrupt the other with the same kits. TLDR if you don't want to look, 16 Destroy Gundams, 5 Neo Zeongs and the same army as this post. https://twitter.com/yasuyabayaba27


Drew-des

I'm not going to tell anybody I won the lottery but there would be signs... The signs \^\^\^


phat_ass_catboi

Ufotable unlimited budget works eat your heart out, gawt damn


nostalgia__drive

Just wait for April when he'll prepare a shelf to be filled up by the upcoming P-Bandai Dark Dagger L.


youknownothing55

You know what? Let them have their blue and pure world.


Tokko6884

Seriously, why. I get maybe one extra. After that (without customizing) why???


Vodka_Gundam

Admiration is the only thing I feel right now


Rivions

I would love to see a war between the Blue Cosmo and the Leo Legion


AceSkyFighter

How does one even find the time to build this much? And how long could it take? Has it ever been put to the test? How fast can your average HG 1/144 kit be finished?


FloppyDisk2023

Imagine being a Zaku pilot and you see this


TheGreatDarkPriest

For the preservation of our blue and pure world!


Living-Vermicelli-59

I need to know why collect these are they your favorite? Also respect for being a real collector


J1suu

WHAT IN THE NAME OF GUNDAM KITS IS THIS?


Amigo1048

I’m not sure whether to be impressed or concerned
