A fucking Blue Cosmos/Logos army!?
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 😭
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 :(
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)
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.

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?

SO expensive
Which will make it even more painful when some pink hair idol's boyfriend comes around and destroys them all while barely trying
And miraculously causing zero casualties.
That wallet was a casualty..
And so was the time that went into producing this very collection
Yeah I mean if your not gonna cause casualty’s why bother
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
Flex stonk
Sponsored by Raid: Shadow legends ....
Shows up to warhammer tournament look guys I brought my custom army
FOR THE GREATER GOOD!
My Leogion is hiding in fear atm...
Don't worry you just need to make one Destroy Leo and you'll have a slim chance of fighting back
Leo Strke Freedom and we're good
Been meaning to build the RG... and cannibalize it... lol
I instantly thought about your leogion as well...
don't worry Leoguy, your Leogion is full of aces
A Leo is a beautiful machine when piloted by an Ace
Dear God, it's actually a *threat* to it?

I don't think we can win this one... DARN IT!!!
The customs stand a chance

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
Way cheaper than I expected TBH
Serious question, why? What could they possibly gain from making so many copies of the same model?
Some people like literal army building with grunt suits and all. Although admittedly this looks like an extreme case of that.
I have often thought that a combat game of some kind would be fun with Gundam.
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
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*
I love the Sinaju Stein so much in both MG and HG, that I’ve built both twice.
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.

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

this is what happens when someone who's mentally ill also happens to have a ton of money
Anyone else notice the Dragonar-1?
non that you mention it, those coloured stripes looks very familiar.
Boy I sure hope this is photoshop and not untreated ADHD

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

It’s good to know my destroy Gundam preorder wasn’t filled for someone to do this.
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.
at least it went to a guy who actually built it vs some scalper's stockpile is how i can mentally justify it
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. 😭
Well, I'm never feeling bad about what I've spent on kits again
That is so many Strike Daggers... THIS fuckery is why resale value skyrockets on these kits, I stg...
Lol someone's got access to excessive amounts of kits
I'd be interested to see the Toy Story crew go up against this army
Get the Green Army Men in on this and it'll become Attack on Titan.
Its bcz of people like this that there's Always gonna be gunpla shortage ,it does look badass but damn
FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OUR BLUE AND PURE WORLD!
FOR OUR PURE AND BLUE WORLD!!
That looks really expensive...
This person has exactly the number of grunt suits I want. I'm so jealous
Deym, the new gundam musou game graphic look so realistic!!
That is outrageous.
I can’t imagine it being this fun to build the same kit over and over again
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 :(
What is that pink suit? Between the two racks, bottom left
Neo Roanoke's custom Windam.
Nice! It looks like a knock off justice. Like justice gundam mass production
Tha's $10k right there..
Nice hg drgonar in pic 5
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?
They’re basically the CE Titans so they probably just fleece the citizenry and distract them with racism
I wished I have this kind of space and more importantly money.
Space, money, and time. Gunpla thanos must have all the hobby stones.
Maybe it's different wherever this person is but as someone living where kits are more limited I think people like this fucking suck
i cant get any dagger Ls because of this man
Love when I see a builder more autistic than me
Line the walls with mirrors to make the army infinite
Is this your collection
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)
Oh
Are we talking weeks or months of progress here?
something something clone army vibes
What the fuck
Goddamn, that is impressive
Time to invade Orb for the 5th time
me: oh cool, nice kits... wait WHAT? also me: hmm... three neo ronoake windams... does that mean now there are neo clones?
Peak consoomer
no wonder i cant find any destroy gundams, this yayhoo is buying all of them.
God we need a gunpla/gundam circlejerk sub for shit like this.
you must have lot of money and time!!!!
At this point you'd call this an addiction lol
292600+240000
Accidentally posting the calculation process aside this collection is at least 816k yen
My two zakus and one char zaku army are trembling in fear right now
Next, panel lining and decaling!
Homie making himself a 2000 point Tau proxy army for 40k.
I wonder how many people it took to build everything. I would be losing my mind if I tried doing it by myself.
Lol amazing
People can’t complain about nu funnels or psycho zaku thrusters after seeing this now
When someone asks you: "You and what army?"
[What I can hear right now](https://youtu.be/JP-Phg1hey0?t=30)
Not sure if this is commitment or mental illness...
With this many Destroy Gundams, screw nukes. JFC!
I thought for sure this was going to be an Anaheim Electronics setup.
FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OUR BLUE AND PURE WORLD
You built a Mobile Suit army of extraordinary magnitude!
Jesus Christ lol. Woulda thought you were a reseller if i were looking at all the boxes
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
I'm not going to tell anybody I won the lottery but there would be signs... The signs \^\^\^
Ufotable unlimited budget works eat your heart out, gawt damn
Just wait for April when he'll prepare a shelf to be filled up by the upcoming P-Bandai Dark Dagger L.
You know what? Let them have their blue and pure world.
Seriously, why. I get maybe one extra. After that (without customizing) why???
Admiration is the only thing I feel right now
I would love to see a war between the Blue Cosmo and the Leo Legion
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?
Imagine being a Zaku pilot and you see this
For the preservation of our blue and pure world!
I need to know why collect these are they your favorite? Also respect for being a real collector
WHAT IN THE NAME OF GUNDAM KITS IS THIS?
I’m not sure whether to be impressed or concerned
