MG RX-78-2 Ver. 3.0 Recirculation

My wife and I stood in line for 3 hours at Gundam Mobile Base Tour ‘24 to get an MG Exia Recirc but the were sold out so I got this as a consolation.

That reminds me that I bought some glow-in-the-dark paints a while back that I still haven't gotten around to trying.

I took a road tip to Chicago last year and got in line early enough to be part of the first group in the trailer. I spent way more than I should've, but no regrets lol.

The Ecopla kits are pretty fun, especially if you aren't a painter. Shame you couldn't get the Exia, that one is probably my favorite Ecopla.

We also hit the mobile tour last year. By the time we got to the trailer, there was very little left in the way of exclusives (at least those that I didn't already have >_>). So we walked away with two retail kits and the cardboard souvenirs.

Nice, ecopla! Did the recycling process affect the plastic that you could tell?

Akaru88@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y

Not that I could tell. I assembled the kit raw, then took everything apart for paint and topcoat, then put everything back together. Nothing broke during that process. I don’t remember feeling anything different when cutting parts of the runner either. As far as I am concerned, it’s just a recolor kit.
