1/144 ng (no grade) gundam seed model kit collection

this is almost all of my no grade kits, the only no grade kit not shown in this picture is my red frame astray gundam but aside from that this is my collection of 1/144 scale ng (no grade) gundam seed model kits.

from left to right: gunner zaku warrior [lunamaria hawke custom] and slash zaku phantom, strike dagger, bucue, sword strike gundam, duel gundam.

the two zaku's are knock off no grades (I think) and I have done some parts swapping on them, as well I have removed their back unit weapons, also the strike dagger is missing it's head antenna and beam saber handle (from the back unit).

second hand gunpla

about a year ago I stumbled upon a gaming/toy store that sells new and used things, in their display cabinet there were a couple 1/144 ng (no grade) gunpla, I purchased them both for $5 a kit.

the two kits I got were the duel gundam (the one on the left) and the strike dagger (the one on the right), both kits are missing parts but at $5 a kit I don't really mind that much, when I bought the kits they had been assembled very poorly and I had to take them apart and fix them then put them back together (basically I had to rebuild them), I had originally planned on using them for parts and custom projects but I never got around to it, so for now they are just space fillers on my shelf.
