Thanks so much for your taking time from your day to reply. I will definitely stop by and hopefully could become a regular.
High Grade (1/144 scale) Gundam kits start at roughly $10 to $11 and go up from there. Larger Master Grade (1/100 scale) kits typically start around $30. There are numerous ones here that would make good kits for your first build and don't cost much at all.
