Question 1

What do Gunpla grades like HG, RG, MG, and PG mean?

Accepted Answer

They're Bandai's grades for Gundam model kits, describing size, detail, and complexity rather than build quality. High Grade (HG) kits are the simplest and most affordable, usually at 1/144 scale. Real Grade (RG) packs a detailed inner frame into that same small size. Master Grade (MG) is larger, typically 1/100, with more detail, and Perfect Grade (PG) is the largest and most intricate, usually 1/60. Higher grades generally cost more.

Question 2

What scales do model kits come in?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the subject. Military vehicles are often 1/35, aircraft are commonly 1/48 or 1/72, and cars are frequently 1/24. The box usually lists the scale, which affects both the finished size and the price.

Question 3

Does it matter if a kit is sealed or started?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A factory-sealed kit is the most desirable. For an opened or started kit, value depends on whether all the parts, decals, and instructions are still there, so check the photos and condition notes carefully.

Question 4

Are old or discontinued model kits worth more?

Accepted Answer

They can be. Once a kit goes out of production the supply dries up, and sought-after or rare subjects can climb above their original price, especially when sealed. A started or incomplete kit is worth less, so completeness matters. Comparing current listings is the best way to see what a specific kit is going for.
