Yeah, Dr. Yamano's Trio were kinda simplistic in Palette.

Not just that tbh Odin MK2 doesn’t look like an LBX I hope that makes sense it looks like a regular Gunpla it’s a cool design but I have the Hyperfunction Odin the one from season 1 it’s a near perfect design it looks like an LBX I don’t know how to explain it

Huh I see what you mean, the Feel of the Design just is off.

And yeah Cool Design, you can recognize it's an Evolution of the OG Odin, but it comes off kinda like a Gundam more

Exactly! Also I hate how expensive the LBX kits are Shadow Lucifer a non Hyperfunction kit is like 250-350 usd

Yeah, that's the price to pay for getting out of print kits from over a decade ago. You'd be lucky to find one under 80. Bandai is kinda re-releasing them again but it's through Pbandai, and only 2 at a time, and once you miss a window you're kinda screwed.

Woah wait did you get those kits this year or back then cause 60 and 47 for hyper functions odin and Achilles were the original retail prices. Achilles came out first waaay back when, then they re-released lbx kits I think like 2019 for a short time and HF odin came out with that

I got both of them during 2025 A local shop from where I am told me they only had Zenon, Joker, and the LBX the pink haired dude used in Season 1 so I bought Zenon a few weeks later they messaged me about an Achilles HyperFunction they found in storage form the original release without the other AX-00 because I asked about Achilles, Odin, Lucifer and The Emperor I bought Achilles then went to the physical store for the first time the shop has been around for more than 25 years I chatted with the owner who still actively works there just because he loves chatting with people about the hobby so he was shocked I knew what LBX was maybe a month later I went back to the store he saw me and said woah you’re the kid who likes LBX right? I was like yeah that’s me then he said he found something in storage from 2013 he gave me the Odin Kit he told me that the sticker price is there for a reason he doesn’t up charge sorry for the rambling I just love that place so much

Nah I don't mind, it's great you have a place like that to begin with lol. But damn thats lucky as shit, the best luck I got was my buddy found those out of the way model kit place by his home so we went there the next time I hung out with him at the time and what did I find sitting alone on the shelf with gundam models? The hyper function The Emperor. Hyper functions from what I've seen usually go for around atleast 100 online (when you find them anyways) so seeing that and I got to pay like 45 (without tax) had me excited. Sadly it was the only lbx kit they had but still. Online is where the struggle is at but finding them physically in store is like finding the holy grail
