Why oh why can't they sell these things pre assembled

You will find those kits much cheaper on YHJ , I found the "Casper" kit for less than half of that and thought it would look great on one of my cabs .
I never heard of resin kits and thought it would be fully assembled so I was surprised I had to glue it together myself , could have been worse though as some are not even painted but mine was .
Building it wasn't fun but it turned out al right in the end .

I'm actually looking at getting this and constructing it myself, does anyone know if it comes with printed instructions?

I know some figures do if they require additional assembly, but not all. I couldn't find anything on RC Burg's site.

It does come with simple pictured instructions and it's not hard to tell what goes where , problem is that I used super glue and although it works I later discovered I should have used something called " plastic cement " that doesn't also glue your fingers together .
Also it took me a while to figure out the eyes are tiny stickers you have to apply with some water so I fucked up the first set , I'm glad they add a spare set .

I used to work with resin kits, I still have a bunch of Macross mechas and Five Star Stories (they're so hilariously ridiculous). Assembling and painting is part of the hobby; it's one of those "journey is more important than the destination" things. Limited availability is the reason I got out of resin kits around 8 years ago, I got tired of dealing with low-quality bootleg recasts when the originals sell out in like a day.
