What's actually in the box?
How many mobile suits come in this set?
Two: the Xi Gundam and the Penelope, both from Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway. The set is described as a gigantic two pack, so you get both large suits in one purchase.
What effect parts are included?
The set includes Funnel Missile firing effects made of clear parts and 12 missile parts. These let you build a face-off display between the two mobile suits.
What else is in the box besides the suits and effects?
You also get 2 display bases, funnels, funnel effects, 2 sets of foil stickers, and a set of water decals. The frames that hold the effect parts have multiple attachment points so you can recreate the random trail patterns left by the Funnels.

Display and build questions
How much space will this set need?
The two mobile suits are described as very large, and the set includes 2 display bases plus effect parts that extend outward. Plan for a shelf or cabinet wide enough to hold both suits facing each other with room for the funnel effects. The supplied information does not give exact dimensions, so measure your display area before building.
Can I pose the effect parts in different ways?
Yes. The frames holding the effect parts have multiple attachment points, so you can arrange the funnel trails in different patterns to mimic the random trails left by the Funnels.
What skill level does this kit suit?
The set includes water decals and foil stickers, which are common on High Grade kits. The supplied information does not state a recommended age range or skill level, so check the packaging or Bandai's official listing if you are buying for a younger builder.
Buying and value questions
Is this a limited edition or exclusive?
The supplied information does not describe this as a limited or exclusive release. It appears to be a standard retail set.
What scale are the included kits?
The product name includes "HG 1/144", so both the Xi Gundam and Penelope are 1/144 scale High Grade kits. The supplied information does not list individual finished heights.
Does the set include paint or glue?
The supplied information lists only the mobile suits, effect parts, display bases, foil stickers, and water decals. It does not mention paint or glue. Most modern HG kits are snap-fit and color-molded, but the supplied information does not confirm whether these specific kits require glue or paint.
