Just got the last few alt art cards I needed to finish all the cards for Gundam TCG's fourth set, Phantom Aria (GD04). Next up GD05 since it has both G Gundam and Endless Waltz debut. #GundamTCG

Getting the case was the right call. #GundamTCG

Wasn't planning on this but ended up buying a whole case for GD04 Phantom Aria because my LGS had enough to offer that to regulars. Had coincidentally made a deal to sell a pokemon slab anyway that paid for most of it. Fingers crossed that the case has an LR++. #GundamTCG

New win for new prize pack. Went 4-0 playing Blue/Purple aggro in a 13 person local. A good amount of people were prepping for the the regional this weekend. #GundamTCG

HG Zagan finished from Iron Blooded Orphans Urdr Hunt. Fun to revisit HG IBO stuff again but time to get back to focusing on the MG Lupus. #gunpla

Came in 3rd at another Newtype Challenge. Got my second Lockon. Look at that loooooong finger lol #GundamTCG.

Finally finished up a complete set of the cards from the first Gundam TCG Booster Box. Been working on this since it came out. May try to do this again for GD05 because G Gundam 👀 Not shown is the Aerial Rebuild LR++. I do have it but it's outside the binder as it's in a slab. #GundamTCG

Came in 3rd at a 31 person Newtype Challenge. They had not received the promos yet so have to pickup the Lockon later but they also have 18 packs for going 4-1. Some good pulls from them :) #GundamTCG

High Grade Gaia's Rick Dom (GQ) finished up. Thicc boy. Stickers were annoying but otherwise the GQ line continues to impress overall. #gunpla

Win #6. Played Green/Blue Dynames this time. Also got the GquuuuuuX Assemble set as a door prize. Good since I'm the only person who plays Clan there lol. #GundamTCG

Win #5 for GD03 format. Won 3-0 playing Clan vs. PW Tekkaden, GW Wing, and BR control. Winner Promo was an Awakened Power which I already have so traded it to someone for their Deathscythe Hell. Used the store credit prizing for the Pokemon cards. #GundamTCG

Not Gunpla for once. Finished up a 30MM Armored Core VI model kit. First of these I've done. With some weathering and a matte top coat. Tried out a Tamiya Weathering set for the first time on it since an Armored Core doesn't feel right all clean lol.

First locals win for GD03. Didn't expect to win tonight since I brought this jank deck for fun lol. #GundamTCG

HG Vayeate and Mercurius all done. At least until weather is better if I want to topcoat them. The old no grade Vayeate was actually my first ever Gunpla as a kid. Didn't build another until an HG Barbaros 10+ years later. Funny enough, the MG Barbatos has ended up being my next build. #Gunpla

Make that two more boxes. Won my locals GD03 launch event which had almost 30 people. Prizing covered the two boxes I could purchase plus, partially, this cool gameboy color style deck box. #GundamTCG

Gundam TCG GD03 hits from the two boxes. Top row was one box, bottom was the other. Happy to get the Mika SP and Gundam Exia alt art. #GundamTCG

One hit from Ascended Heroes. I'll take it even if it's Stunfisk 😂 #PokemonTCG

Came home to some packages arrived in time for Gundam and Pokemon TCG release day. Time to see if there's anything good 👀 #PokemonTCG #GundamTCG

Local shop got my most anticipated new kit of the year. This is jumping the line and gonna be my next build after the HG Vayeate/Mercurius I'm working on. The owner was kind enough to hold this for me and give me the 25% off build night discount now since he knows I'd be there anyway lol #Gunpla

Finished up HG Gundam Calibarn (Permet Score Five). Had that in the backlog a while. Don't even remember why I bought this version instead of the normal retail version lol. Anyway great kit, as expected from Witch From Mercury High Grades. #Gunpla

Wonderful new playmat and sleeves came in from @rideth-mochi.bsky.social Looking forward to using this for GD03 launch next week :)

Finished up robot Sailor Moo- I mean Nobel Gundam. #Gunpla

Finished building this HG Gyan I received for Secret Santa recently. Aside from the stickers being annoying this is a really neat kit. Definitely my favorite Gyan design. #Gunpla

Got another kit done. This funky HG Mandor (Mandala) Gundam from G Gundam that I got a few days ago. Ended up building this in one sitting. Very different kit then usual as can seen. Hope we get more of the weirder G stuff. #Gunpla

Did the new starter event at my LCS, got the Hathaway deck and only one win with that. Not a good matchup against the other deck. Thankfully LCS had enough product to actually sell 3 more of whichever combination of decks you needed for playsets at MSRP when it ended. Bonus pack pull: #GundamTCG

Finished the HG Gundam Naion that came in from P Bandaid a few months ago. Cool build like other Witch from Mercury HG's. Pretty sick design for one from a manga side story. Just kinda wish this came with a stand, getting it to stand up by itself was a challenge lol. #Gunpla

Locals win #2 for this season. Not my favorite possible promo to get but I'll take it. Played Blue/Purple. 2/3 wins were mirrors. Other one was vs. GW Wing. Got lucky and they didn't draw Wing Zero. #GundamTCG

Finished up this MGSD Aerial I started in December. First MGSD I've built. Very fun kit. I see why this line has been praised. I would love to get the Barbatos one when I have a chance. #Gunpla

Bought a new iPad and got an Apple Pencil Pro as a gift over the holidays so I've been learning to draw with them using Procreate for fun. Haven't drawn/painted in a looooong time because the mess and all the supplies needed. Just drew this based on an image downloaded as reference for now to learn.

First win of the new year for Gundam TCG. Also regularly buying Pokemon cards from the store paid off again, owner immediately pulled me aside for unannounced Ascended Heroes pre-orders. Or maybe I should be embarrassed he knew to do that 😂 Also had to buy this card. #GundamTCG #PokemonTCG

2025 is over so it's ok to post GOTY lists now. Here's mine. backloggd.com/u/LazyBob/li...

I've finally finished up my Destined Rivals master set. Was able to find the few remaining cards at local stores the last few days. Thankfully had credit from trading in bulk. This makes the third set I've finished. On to number 4 :) #PokemonTCG

I hate my local game store. Fuckers stole a good chunk of my money the past few weeks from getting in good condition vintage stuff. I walked in today and was immediately shown the Snorlax because they knew I'd buy it 😭 #PokemonTCG

Finished this P-Bandai GN Flag I started after putting my bigger project on pause. Cool kit. Love these Gundam 00 grunt designs. #gunpla

Last year I lost two bets and had to fulfil their terms within the year. As of today both are done. Per one bet, all of Kingdom Hearts up until 3 has been completed. Per the other bet, I have now finished chapters 1-9 of Honkai Impact 3rd.

Ended up going to a free card show at a dying mall nearby. Sold/traded some slabs i wasn't attached to and picked up a bunch of Destined Rivals cards I was missing. Just missing 5 from the set now. The Garchomp SIR is the only expensive one left though. #PokemonTCG

Picked up a collection box and Mega Dream box from a local store and had some big W's. Think I got to end the year on this for Pokemon cards. Can't go up from this and the Victini yesterday (Also budget for that's now blown). #PokemonTCV

Got my hands on some Black Bolt and got very lucky. #PokemonTCG

Since the goose is on hold and I'd like to do some less demanding stuff to relax, it's a perfect time for this brand new P Bandai kit that just came in last week. Also probably a good idea to actually do one of them right after arrival for once in case of parts being lost or breaking lol. #Gunpla

Back to the much delayed goose. Still want to paint it but took a bit long and temperature outdoors for airbrushing looks like it'll be a bit low when I'd have time. Getting the armor pieces cut off sprues, sanded, and stored away until the weather is better and putting this on ice. #Gunpla

Came in 2nd at a 13 person Gundam TCG local. Got my first winners pack for this season. #GundamTCG

Opened the Phantasmal Flames Booster Box and UPC I got from my LCS. No Charizard but some good hits from the booster box. UPC was barren until the last 5 packs which had the two SIR. So happy I don't have to pay up for the Gardevoir lol. #PokemonTCG

Hits from the pre release. #PokemonTCG

Pokemon pre release time again. #PokemonTCG

Finally got new nippers and resumed this. Finished up the legs. Frame of the backpack next then the busy work of cutting, sorting, and test fitting armor pieces ahead of painting everything. #Gunpla

Got this card back from grading via my LGS. First time sending to BGS. Used them since the slab looks better than PSA and I wanted to display this card with my Gunpla. LGS owner was nice enough to cover the shipping cost for grading since he was sending his own sub with it anyway. #GundamTCG

Also got this design works book for the movie that comes with a couple film strips for it too.

Got a Gunpla trial kit from a Gquuuuuux movie screening. Never built one of these kits that didn't need nippers to remove parts from the runner. Really impressive what they were able to do for a kit made from a single runner. There's obvious sacrifices but the result is great for what it is. #gunpla

Thank God for local shops making sure regular customers get first crack at preorders with limits. In a perfect world that for MSRP is the bare minimum but seen too many local places charging as much as the market allows. Line at the store was crazy just for this. #PokemonTCG

Picked up a Booster Box preorder from a local store and damn already completed the line lol. I didn't expect that to happen so quick. #PokemonTCG
