what GPO2? 

look closer, zoom in might help 

u guys really ..ar 

Its time to show them your skills Amy.

now cannot liao

mg 00 raiser and MG SBS also near that price also

nope.

u have experience with macross b4 going into gunpla so any mg is relatively easy in comparison, but if a newbie is completely brand spanking new to the hobby in general, tey need the experience in cutting the parts out of the tree, handling nub marks, getting to know the plastic strength, familiarize with the manual layout, handling decals, etc etc.

if the said the newbie bought sazabi ver ka, when he/she inevitability break something (fin or joint or something of mechanical importance) tey just wasted 300 bucks on a kit just cuz of simple newbie mistake. If the point is to get familiarize with the hobby then going for something cheap is the preferred method, mistake will still be made regardless if the kit is expensive or not and if so isnt it better to made them on cheap kits rather then 9000yen kit? At the very least ur wallet will be in better shape.

some mg r just not meant to be build by newbie be it due to difficulties (ex-s), complexity and fragility (zeta, unicorn, and all transformable design in general), and/or price (any 7000 yen and above). Breaking such kit is more painful to bear then say breaking mk2 2.0. Going head first into any mg without consideration of the above will only cause trouble, may even pisses them off and put them off from the hobby entirely.

So we're talking about first model kits.
Mine was not gundam. It was the robot from flashman in 1991. Cost only 1 ringgit. Found it in a sundry shop.
It was all blue plastic but it could still combine and transform.
My first gundam was in 1995, the NG gundam wing zero.

For noobies, I recommend getting any HG kits after 2008.

distraction is too great....gp02 pale in comparison....never put a gundam in the same frame of such distraction.
