But I do like the overall aesthetic of the mobile suits. I never liked the Gundams. My question is, is it in bad taste to collect and build them if I never got into it (I've played Gundam vs Zeta Gundam and enjoyed that).
No. Buy whatever the fuck you want and stop worrying about what other people may think.
a contrarian eh?
actually not that bad, considering not just gundam.
transformers, bionicle, even capeshit has a lot collectors who doesn't even know anything related to their toys, especially if they're new at callecting toys, i mean a lot of kids doesn't even know G1 or only MCU than the comic.

I just want to know if there are any Gundam series that are worth it? Cause I would like to give them a chance.
>>5310634
Oh wow I have not seen that box in so long
I actually had that build for a while
>My question is, is it in bad taste to collect and build them if I never got into it
Not really. They're scale model robots, you like robots and scale models, that's what you collect.

holy fuck, i need that shit, what is it called?
On a related note, what would be the best gundam toy for somebody who hasn't watched any of it?

> My question is, is it in bad taste to collect and build them if I never got into it
Nope. Just build what you like. Actually not being into the series kinda gives you more artistic freedom when it comes to gunpla.
>I just want to know if there are any Gundam series that are worth it?
All of them. But if you want something new and doesn't need anything else watched to understand, iron blooded orphans is pretty awesome.

It isn't necessary by any means but I don't get why one wouldn't want to give at least Mobile Suit Gundam a good chance.

First Gundam Movie Trilogy
Gundam X
G Gundam
Gundam 00
Gundam Build Fighters
Those are some good starter series.

Meant to say those offer a good variety of beginner-friendly shows.

For me? Robot Damashii God Gundam. One of my favorite toys, it's articulated, it's dynamic, and it looks good from every angle.
Not your traditional Gundam, this one fights and doesnt have a gun, but it shoots fire from its hands

>First Gundam Movie Trilogy
the full series leave a better first time impression, honestly. Sure the movies cut a lot of pointless stuff but they cut some important stuff too and the pace is too fast.
Also TC, definitely see Zeta Gundam if you end up liking the original series even a little.
>>5310635
I mean, it really depends on what you're into, if you like over the top action you might like G-gundam, if you want more serious war story stuff you'd probably want 08th MS team or possibly the currently airing Iron blooded Orphans. Gundams been going long enough that there is a lot of variety.
Its fine. Its pretty much like being a fake geek girl who wants all the aesthetics but doesn't actually care about the stuff at all.

I'd say Gundam 00 is pretty easy to get into, it starts off pretty grounded with a relatable setting.
G Gundam is fucking great if you enjoy that sort of ridiculous over the top mecha. Japan's space colony is a giant rock in the shape of Japan, and America is a giant Texas. If that sounds too stupid to sustain your attention maybe it isn't for you.

couldnt you go hunting in kl ? times square and low yat??

i tried asking around but they told me it's way too old of a release
might try to get time machine to look around for me, but those guys overcharge though

The original series and 0080 are a good starting point. 0080 is only 6 episodes and only requires very basic knowledge of UC to appreciate.
