Props for making the X. I always liked it so much more than the Double X.
Word. Kai Shiden is awesome.
Thanks ! I secretly wish for a Airmaster/Leopard MG release but I doubt X is popular enough to ensure that...
I hope that one day they release an MG for Virsago chest break. I feel that all rival mechs should have had an MG release by now.

Oh, yeah, I think the best we can expect is for new HGs of the Airmaster and Leopardon at some point in the future. They're kind of "forgotten" Gundams, kind of like the other Shuffle Alliance Gundams other than Domon's units. 
Yeah, I remember reading about this. In the original concept for the ending, Char didn't pilot the Zeong, it was another pilot who was never even introduced in the final series, they had to change and truncate a lot of things when the series episode order was cut.

Years ago I started working on a Zeta HG. I definitely messed up on it where it's no longer worth finishing. I do plan on doing bigger kits I already bought, but not until I really nail a process down.

I actually dont care for Gundams that much. I pretty much only enjoy the Zeta and Nu. I appreciate the V and V2. The Wing Fenice is pretty nice too.
I mostly love the franchise for UC grunt suits.
If I were to buy more Gunpla right now, a HGUC Zeta and ZZ would be it for me.
BY THE WAY, do RG kits come in 1/144 or not?
Is Fuunsaiki's unit a gundam? If not that if it is then Char's Zaku just because it's awesome to use in the Gundam vs games. Aside from that I actually can't think of too many that I enjoy so much that I view it as anything besides a generic grunt unit.

RGs are all 1/144. They look nice.
RGs are 1/144, yes.

They are on average about 30-40 bucks.
GM Custom, Jesta Cannon, GM Sniper II, GM Ground Type, Gouf Custom, and GN-X.
Kinda like the Jegan too but not totally into everything about it.

Hyaku Shiki is basically a gundam
So many awesome picks.
Wonderful choices.
If we are talking about grunt and semi special units, it would be;
Serpent Custom, Virgo, Kampfer, Rozen Zulu, Geara Doga,
In terms of special units;
Sinanju , Talgeese III, Kshatriya , Queen Mansa, HMX-000 Nocturne
Now, Gundams;
Gundam Astray Red Frame, Crossbone Gumdam(s), Deathscythe Hell Kai, Master Gundam, Xi Gundam, Gundam F91, Gundam Epyon, and so on and so fourth.

Especially in ZZ where it makes up the Gundam Squad.

But it's not a gundam, so it still counts.

Just finished Gundam Zeta for the first time. That was some crazy shit. Lot of surprises in terms of character deaths. I think this show had the most 'jump in front of bullet to protect someone' deaths than any other anime I've seen. Totally thought
and
would eventually experience some sort of revelation/development that would make them wiser, but nope. My brain is still trying to work out how to think about
and
cuz that was so weird.
I'm really upset that ZZ's dub isn't available anywhere (I don't think it was ever released on DVD) cuz it's really hard to swap languages midway through a franchise. Even moreso when I'll eventually return to the dub when I get to Char's Counterattack and Unicorn.

ZZ was never dubbed. At least for America. There migjt be some low qualtiy filippino english dub floating around that doesnt really coubt though
I think Tallgeese would qualify then if the Hyaku Shiki does.
I think this is where the gundam series shines, they tend to be more creative with them. Anyways some of my favorites are:
-The O
-Hygogg
-Baund Doc
-Tallgeese I
-Turn X (I was surprised when I found out this wasn't classified as a Gundam)

I agree.

I really dislike the O personally. Mostly because the pilot Scirroco was a piece of sh*t imo.
My favorite Non-Gundam suit is the Zaku II, iconic as hell. There is also Guncannon, Guntank, Tallgeese II, Virgo, Gouf Ignited, Ginn, Over Flag, Susanoo and a couple of others I cannot think of off the top of my head.
Favorite Gundam suits include.
Rx 78 Original Gundam
Nu Gundam before funnels
Zeta Gundam
Gato's Gundam whose name and number I forgot but it had the nuke.
Shining Gundam
God Gundam in hyper mode
Wing Gundam TV (Hate the wings in EW)
Deathscythe Hell
Altron
Strike Freedom
Exia
Dynamas
00 Raiser
Reborns Gundam
Cherudium
Arios
00 Qan
Gundam AGE Sparrow
Gundam AGE-2 normal
Star Build Strike
Wing Fenice
Favorite Mobile armors
Big Zam of course
Psycho Gundam
Devil Gundam
Queen Mansa
Alvatore (gotta love all that gold lol)
Probably a whole bunch I forgot since I'm making this list half asleep.

Oh yeah, how could I forget Kämpfer !
maybe they'll make an MG Jesta Cannon by the time you finish EX-S.
It took 12,000 years before a military force deployed Zakus and won the war.

The military force that used GMs to win a war promptly threw them all in the dustbin and started using all the cool new Zakus they got right after.

Actually GMs are quite good compared to most Zeon MSes except maybe Gelgoogs. Sure they are stripped down Gundams, but theyre still pretty decent.

Damn, forgot about the Hy-Gogg! I love that and, of course, the Acguy (it's so cute!).
And then turned right around and lost that war to the guys using the GM type Nemos.
So help me figure all this out, Gunpla GAF. HG < RG < MG < PG? But there isn't a RG ZZ Gundam, is there?

The RG line is pretty young and they only release three kits a year (not counting Skygrasper and recolors such as AEUG Mk-II and green Zaku).
Here's a full list of what the line includes - http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Real_Grade
Your rankings are about right. I'd say a nice RG is worth a thousand mediocre MGs but that's just me.
Yeah, currently that is pretty much how they would scale. There are some variances to the rule though.
Alot of people believe the Real Grade GP01's to actually be better then their MG Counter parts, I've seen the same from a few people about the RG MKII and MG MK II. at least when it coems to the 1.0.
As far as the ZZ goes, yeah no RG of ZZ.
However go with the HG, it's a far better model and representation of the ZZ Gundam then the MG can even hope to be. As it stands the MG ZZ and Alex are probably the two that need a 2.0 the most. The HG on the other hand is a great Model, and one of the best HG's when it comes to just capturing the mobile suit.
I'm just waiting for them to release a Full Armor ZZ and FAZZ.

Berga Giros am cry.
Wait, it doesn't even have a master grade kit. It's a 1/100. My bad
