[RANDOM] 1st Gunpla Expo Philippines 2017 part 2

February 28, 2017. 4th day of the expo.

I was able to pass by the expo again and this time the place was less crowded, making  taking photos easier. It's also easier to roam around the expo now.

When I got there, the first thing I went for was the display for the local modelers custom works.

These are some of the latest works of the past and current GBWC and GMKC champions on display in the expo. It was really hard to get proper photos of the displays since there was clear glass protecting the display and also because there were still a lot of people checking and taking photos of the display. My photos don't do justice for these works. You have to see them personally to truly appreciate the quality of these works.

Aside from the local modelers works, there were also a lot of kits on display.

There was a Beargguy diorama with a local theme.

There was also a display of the latest Ver.Ka kits.

There were also large scale displays where people could take photos with.

Some displays are series specific ling Gundam Build Fighters, Iron Blooded Orphans, Gundam the Origin, and Gundam Thunderbolt, among others.

There was also a display of one of the latest gunpla scale SDEX models kits.

RG kits also have their own display with awesome animated backgrounds.

For me, one of the highlights of the expo was the display of the upcoming kits to be released like the MG Providence and RG Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina.

Another highlight of the expo would be the Expo Limited kits for sale in the event.

Unfortunately, they already ran out of stocks of the expo limited kits during day 1 of the event. and even the sales persons at the event have no idea when they will restock.

The local organizers of the event have this policy that requires you to buy a specific amount of regular kits before you are entitled to buy an expo limited kit. I'm not going to comment regarding that policy since it's their rules. And considering the selection of expo limited kits, I'm not really eyeing any specific kit. I've been holding off from buying any new kit since I still have a lot of unfinished projects and a few backlogs that I need to work on. Though I might get the HG Zaku II Black Tristar Metallic version if ever it becomes available. 

I'll try going back maybe on the last day of the expo to see if anything catches my eye.
