When I bought the one I had originally, It was siting on a shelf on a store called Anime Plus (long gone) It sat there forever, calling my name, until I had enough money and bugged my mom enough to take me to the store to get it. When I finally brought it home I realized I was over my head, but still enjoyed it. 15 years I tracked most of the remainder kits, but Have only partially build most of them so far. I built the vf-5000, but once again screwed up the screw holes....
