Quick answer

Assemble the Entry Grade Build Strike Exceed Galaxy by following the steps in order, using the included instructions and basic tools for nub removal and part alignment.

Why Entry Grade Kits Are Perfect for Beginners

Entry Grade (EG) kits are designed for first-time builders. They feature fewer parts than High Grade (HG) kits, snap-fit assembly without glue, and pre-colored plastic that eliminates painting. The Build Strike Exceed Galaxy is a great example, offering a satisfying build with iconic Gundam design.

Step-by-Step Assembly Tips

  1. Prepare Your Workspace and Tools: Clear a flat, well-lit surface. Use side cutters (nippers) to remove parts from the runners. A hobby knife or sanding stick helps clean nub marks. Avoid twisting parts off runners; always cut carefully to prevent stress marks.
  2. Sort and Identify Parts: Lay out the runners and match part numbers to the instruction sheet. Group similar parts together (e.g., arms, legs, torso). Double-check the part number before cutting; a wrong cut can leave a visible mark.
  3. Assemble the Torso and Head: Snap-fit the torso halves, then attach the head. Ensure the polycap joints click fully—partial insertion leads to loose parts. If a joint feels too tight, gently sand the peg; too loose, add a tiny drop of glue or clear nail polish.
  4. Build the Arms and Legs: Follow the instructions to assemble each limb. Pay attention to left/right orientation (marked L/R on parts). Mixing up left and right can cause misalignment; check the instruction diagram carefully.
  5. Attach the Backpack and Weapons: Snap the booster, shield, beam rifle, and sword effect onto the body. The sword effect uses a clear part—handle it by the base to avoid fingerprints. Clear parts scratch easily; use a soft cloth to polish if needed.
  6. Final Pose and Display: Pose the kit by adjusting the joints. The EG Build Strike Exceed Galaxy has good articulation for dynamic stances. Place it on a shelf or action base. Avoid forcing joints past their range—snapping a peg is permanent.
