DID SOMEONE SAY THAT THING I LIKE?
I rediscovered the show since it's well, free on youtube, legally, in the US. Finished the series last night. Absolutely loved it from beginning to end but will agree that it drags a bit in the beginning, but the latter half is consistently amazing.
My favorites are Trowa and Quatre. I will agree that they have the absolute most "um, wait, Quatre is in love with that dude." vibe. I think Quatre is overlooked by some of the male fandom, he actually more or less IS the leader of the five of them. And I can't help but love him, he's so nice and stuff.
It did a really great job of messing with your mind like Gundam loves to do, because in the end, I found myself wondering why exactly Treize was the villain. He was just sort of a guy who had been in charge that seemingly lost control of his empire, in my opinion. He wasn't the villain so much as well, everyone else around him and to an extent the politicians of space/earth were.
I'm debating whether or not I want to move on to another series or just watch it again, I enjoyed it that much. I've been re-collecting the figures and model kits from the series lately.

That's bad. It really gets interesting during the middle stages (especially the end of the 1st/beggining of the 2nd season), even if there are some twists one can see some miles away, a couple not (some good, others bad, others fall in the "was it really necessary?"), and it does have a satisfiyng ending (but hell, even Code Geass had one after the Russo-booked second season), with the movie being just to milk the cash cow some more for the announcement of Gundam AGE and give closure to the A.D. timeline (hopefully).

This was the series that got me into the Gundam franchise. I think my two favorite Gundams are Wing ZERO and Heavyarms.

I didn't really mind the whole Heero/Relena relationship. I thought it was actually kinda nice having it in the series like it was. I think the relationship changed when Heero saved Relena in "Party Night." And then it evolved into something more, until the end of the series.

I think the first indication is Relena standing between Heero and Duo to save Heero's life, since Duo could have ended him at any time. Even Heero took notice of that. It was also interesting that she prevented him from deliberately falling to his death not long after. Her invoking his name got him to actually deploy his shoot when he had no intention of doing so.

Which one has the green HeavyArms? Both versions of Endless Waltz have the redesigns, the OVA version just presents it in a 3 episode format I believe, whereas the Theatrical cut is longer, and a bit clearer at times. Also has a better ending.

I actually kind of prefer the original's color scheme, but both look good. It's not like Altron and Deathguise's upgrades where I think the successor units don't look as good.

Sorry to double post, but I don't think this needs its own topic, just let this be a general Gundam topic:
I am looking to get into model collecting. Ideally, I'd also like to have the figures for more posing options and all that, but kits seem to run cheaper.
I was wondering if any of you had experience with this besides Void/Eric Northman who already is helping me a great deal.
What are some that are not pricey but still a good value? Any I should avoid? And any general tips or things to be on the lookout for? Wing, G, and SEED are the series I am most interested in, but I am open to anything if it looks good for a good price.
