    Regarding the blue beams for Aerial, I think that's a hint at future plot development. As we saw in prologue, during a real fight, the beams are mostly in blue, but during school mock battles they use green beams. Recall that in the final episode when the upgraded Aerial comes out and still using green beams, there was a person making a comment on how the weaponries are not tuned for actual fight, suggesting that all the green beams we see are in some sort of reduced energy output mode/training mode. It'd imply the real colour for Aerial's beams should be blue if it's tuned for actual combat. At least, that's my interpretation.

    I'm happy to say, last year was the year I finally got into Gunpla. It all started when I stumbled on a HG Helios in a Barnes and Nobles and decided "Eh, why not." And it was all downhill from there. I spent most of the year trying to find a place near me that actually carried Gunpla regularly, and actually found some at a local target. So I have since expanded my collection with a HG Heavyarms, Livelance Heaven, and Barbataurus, and am very excited to see what I can get my hands on this year. Some of these new TWFM kits look positively amazing~

    Unicorn is my favorite series so I was determined to make the PG perfectability my first PG build, and HO BOY it didn't disappoint. An absolutely beautiful kit that I have sitting on the top of my shelf next to all my other unicorns. I will say though, as someone who got the divine expansion kit.....those fuel canisters make it so hard to put anywhere due to just how LONG they are. So sadly I just have them sitting elsewhere, but with the rest of the armaments attached, it really finishes the look. Also, this was my first kit to do lighting in, and while I enjoyed it and the end results are amazing, man the wires in the shoulders was hell on earth to align.

    no wonder the mgex is no1, yesterday my unit just got home ,,and the gold is absolutely fantastic ,next step is to find the right time building it ,while waiting for MG aerial..good work pal. i usually check your rank before buying a gunpla,, but my decision to prepurchase MGEX SF 1 year before is right in every ways.

    I can't wait to get my hands on my MGEX Strike Freedom (already ordered but I still have to wait). First time I pre-ordered a kit and apparently it was a good choice. But 2022 was really a great year quality wise and I hope I'll get my hands on some Witch HG. At least Lfrith or Aerial, probably more.. But they're so hard to find. I actually only bought restock of HG IBO I wanted to get my hands on and some restock of P Bandai Seed kits in the whole year.

    First of all, I can't thank Mecha G enough for all the kits I've been exposed to and subsequently bought due to the reviews. I've been building some Kotobukiya kits here and there for the last decade, and in 2022 I took a plunge into Gunpla proper. Back in september I felt a need to get an RX-78-2 kit. And in doing my research of which one to get I discovered Mecha G's channel. And the rest, as they say, is history. So the first of my kits in 2022 ended up being MG Granddaddy v 3.0. A fantastic kit that made me appreciate RX-78-2 so much more. HG L-Gaim and L-Gaim Mk-2 are very nice kits to add to my Super Robot Wars collection. Simple HG kits that don't do anything earthshattering, but do what they are supposed to do very well. And have a nice interactivity with each other to boot. HG Gespenst is another great addition to the SRW collection. It was especially fun to see it side by side with the old Kotobukiya's Gespenst Mk-2 and note similarities and differences in their design and engineering. For some time during 2022 I've been on a look out for a GaoGaiGar and I almost couldn't believe my eyes when one morning I opened up KZread and was greeted by Mecha G's review of RG GaoGaiGar. Of course, this kit ended up in my posession soon after. Such a good looking and enjpyable kit. Now, I wasn't ranking the kits I've built in 2022, just listed them, but the following ones are most definately my Top 3. Numbers 2 and 3 are fenomenal RG Nu Gundam and RG Hi-Nu Gundam. I'm not sure which one takes which spot. They are both equally awesome, I built them both back to back on Christmas weekend and I enjoy them so much more for it. It was so fun to see how Bandai has managed to make them ever so similar, yet ever so different at the same time. And my number one is the one, the only, the mind-shattering RG God Gundam. This tiny guy is made of pure black magic. I still can't believe how much detail and sheer awesomeness is packed into such a small kit. Every time I look at him I feel an urge to put him into a new pose. And he effortlessly puls off each and every one of them. This is the one kit each and every person in the world must build for themself. Even if you are not into gunpla, building and experiencing RG God Gundam should be legally mandatory. Once again, thank you, Mecha G, for all the reviews and all the great kits I've got as the result! I expect more great works both from you and Bandai in 2023!

    You have a sizeable number of TWFM Gunplas for 2022, and most are HGs. I could say there wasn't much variety of gunpla releases the past year. Having said that, For new Gunpla releases the past year, I only got 2 from this list: the EG Nu Gundam and the RG Hod Gundam (which I got myself for Christmas). TWFM lineup got sold out quite fast from stores esp the Aerial and Lfrith. I was waiting for your top 10, though, I thought you had released it earlier. Great to have watched it. Keep it up!

    Won't forget when last year my Girlfriend gifted me my first every MG it was the MG OVA RX-0 Unicorn and well it was the first gundam that I owned, I'd hang out often with her older brother who adores these and helped him build his HG and a few MG, I gotta say it was a nightmare building it but once it was done I was satisfied, been a year and I'm going strong (My wallet is crying). Last month her brother gifted me the MG Astray Red Dragon as a birthday gift which he had as a duplicate, I'll never get tired of building these I'm going for that MGEX Strike Freedom

    A few of the everything that's really right about this list: First, every kit on this list, I either have it or have it on a wish list on one of my regular gunpla purchasing sites. Second, I was going to complain about how the MG Eclipse wasn't on this list, and then I remembered that that particular kit made last years list. 😆 Time sure flies when your Pile of Shame is getting larger... So when I think about it - wow. This is the first time I've ever completely agreed with anyone (including you) on a gunpla rating list. Congratulations...? 😁

    The biggest thing i appreciate from the designers of modern HG and that EG NU kit, designing the best way to avoid awful seams. I was cleaning up an old EW wing gundam MG kit that had some broken parts and it looks cheaper than the EG kit... The biggest thing RGs need to eliminate are the eye stickers.

    I bought many kits, but I only built the US Target exclusive Entry Grade America Gundam. I've built many MG kits before, but I've never painted or panel lined, so I used the EG to teach myself how to do all these detailing's. In 2023, I plan on disassembling a few of the MG I've built in years past to do panel line and add metallic Gundam Markers. I'm also hoping the America Gundam and regular EG RX78 goes on sale somewhere so I can kit bash the two with some custom paint job to make a Canadian Gundam.
