This one was fun to build! Ruling doesn't suffer from the part tolerance issue like some of the other In Era+ kits with metal parts. Where some pieces are impossible to connect because it is so tight and you have to sand something down. The joints are super stiff and I haven't had any problems with it holding up the loaded guns. The build was great, instructions clear, water slides were of great quality. I think only one or two broke on me while moving them around. Ruling and Thunderbolt are probably the two kits I have ever had the most fun building. I'd build another.

Solid kit with a full metal frame with many layers over it giving solid rigidity for poses with all of its weapons. The only part that gave me trouble was building the shoulders specifically the forward missile pods everything else was enjoyable, and as a plus the kit is practically entirely undergated so no nasty nub marks to buff out.

Ruling is a combination of Justice and Buster Gundams? Just a theory. But looks pretty cool. The original purple looks great but I saw a photo of Buster Gundam-inspired rendition of this kit, so I plagiarized. The part separation of this kit is excellent. Not much work was necessary to achieve the intended result. I do get what others are saying when certain parts come off easily, but after painting mine, that issue just went away. I also like the way In ERA+ did not over-label the decals. In ERA+ gives you just enough decals so that you won't feel burnt out looking at it yet still able to achieve a decent look overall. I didn't apply all of mine, just a little over a half I think. I hope Bandai will follow suit and stop throwing a bunch of decals without much thoughts put into the design. Sometimes, too much is just too much. One very minor issue I came across with this kit is the round joint for the rear beam cannons. They are just too flimsy and weak that they crack after a few applications. I'm referring to the main beam cannons that attach, and stay attached, to the backpack and also serves as anchors for the two guns and the rifles. The round joints only allows for small round pegs to do all the heavy lifting and once the joints crack, the beam cannons will start swinging. You will get what I'm talking about when you play around with this kit a little bit. But that level of minor issue tends to exists in Bandai kits. Overall, this is a solid kit that demands the price.
