That said… as a reference for myself and because I am notoriously "difficult to shop for", here are a few things that have caught my attention.
Updated May 30, 2026
Gunpla
I have a sizable backlog and I'm mostly set on building tools. There are several different Gunpla Grades and there are Gundam Series that I do and do not like. I'm definitely gravitating towards Master Grade and Real Grade kits of late.
P-Bandai
These limited run kits are sold exclusively through the Premium Bandai site or Gundam Base.

Perfect Grade
I still don't know if I'm ready for a Perfect Grade. It's less an issue of skill and more one of time.

Gaming
More than anything, I need rest so I am fresh enough to go play.
Gundam Card Game
I'm set on Newtype Rising [GD01], Dual Impact [GD02], and Steel Requiem [GD03]. There are only a few cards I'm chasing in the current Phantom Aria [GD04] booster set.
I'll skip the starter and boosters due to be released in June.
The Freedom Ascension [GD05] boosters to be released July 24 will include G Fighter and the Strike Freedom Gundam. Then, coming October 30, Stardust Trails [GD06] will include Stardust Memories cards I'll definitely hope to get.
Gundam Assemble
The Gundam Assemble game launches in the fall. I've preordered the first Starter Set and the Deluxe SEED Set. There are several expansion sets that may be nice to play with.
Starcraft: Tabletop Miniatures Game
Not that I need another game, but I loved StarCraft and now they also have a tabletop miniatures game!
Figures
This Spider-Man figure from the Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel vs. Capcom, one of my favorite arcade games, looks fantastic.
Ex Impulse
I like the look of the standard Impulse, but this one is on another level of cool.
Gundam G07
This mobile suit isn't all that unique, but it would look good standing next to my two G-Line kits from P-Bandai. I like the shield and extra bulk compared to the standard first Gundam.
Liberty Astray Red Frame
I've been interested in this kit since seeing the prototype. It probably won't be available in the states until early 2027. I like my RG Astray Red Frame and this one has a unique look that would set it apart.
RX-78-2 Gundam
The ultimate version of the original Gundam.
Stormbringer
This is one of the best versions of a Gundam with loads of armor and weapons. It has a cool story behind it, too.
The slightly upgraded Stormbringer F.A. is available more often, but I'd definitely want to paint it.
Strike Gundam
There are three different versions of the Strike Gundam in Perfect Grade form.
Original Strike
The original is an inexpensive Perfect Grade. It has everything that I'd truly want to display (rifle, shield, knives). However, it is rarely available.
Perfect Strike
The upgraded version of the Strike with all three striker packs. I like most of the changes, particularly to the head and legs. I do not know what I'd do with all the extra striker packs.
Strike Rouge
The Rouge is essentially the original Strike, but with the Aile Striker pack, the Skygrasper (jet), and a different paint scheme. It is probably the best deal.
Sword Impulse Gundam
I love the core suit and shield of this Gundam. I have the amazing Real Grade version of the Force Impulse, but something different would be nice. I prefer the Real Grade, but it is a P-Bandai exclusive. So is the High Grade.
The older Master Grade is a bit more lanky, but it is more readily available.
