I realized you can easily mod a Zaku into a Borjarnon without doing anything at all

Isn't a Zaku essentially a Borjanon? Are there any differences at all?

Also, since we're on Turn A, HGUC Sumo plz

Isn't a Borjanon just a zaku under a different name.

Its a P-Bandai Online Exclusive MG Turn-A with the Moonlight Butterfly effect parts, and a different finish to go with it. It also seems they are selling the effect parts as a separate online exclusive release as well for those who already have the MG Turn-A


YESSSSHHHHHH


Awww yeah, it seems it may also come with kicking effect parts like the BB


WHOAAAAAA THAT UPDATE
This is gonna look amazing next to the Mk.II and Hyaku Shiki

What happened to the "All Gundam" Project, Bandai? WHERE IS MY F90?!?!?
(Going on and on about the F90 like a broken record for the past 10 years)

Seriously, I'd rather Bandai get to work on putting out still-unreleased MS in MG or HG format as opposed to reaming some of the older ones. Yes, the older HG Freedom desperately needs an update (like how the Aile Strike was updated), but I want some other MS released, like the Gundam F90 and Grunt MS from F91 to Victory. Or even if Bandai could release HG 1/144 or MG 1/100 kits for some of their other series like Dragonar or Patlabor that won't be wallet-murdering RRR kits...

I'm guessing the REVIVE project is the All Gundam Project now.

Figures, I buy RG Freedom and immediately a new HG version is announced

Did you already pay for it? I'll getting both nonetheless.

Edit: Nevermind, I thought you were talking about the RD version

Typical Bandai: being indecisive on what their new line for SEED HGs is supposed to be. At one time, they made the cheap & lazy “Remaster” as the new SEED HG line (though producing new molds like HG M1 Astray & LaGOWE in the process). After that, they changed their mind and produce the “HGCE” Strike & Rouge because a new mold for Strike is available thanks to GBF and Bandai didn’t waste time to milk it. And now HG Freedom suddenly received the “Revive”-treatment even though it didn’t even get “HGCE”-treatment yet .

That's okay. Nothing is wasted. Both RG & HG has their own merits. What the RG Freedom lacks in solidness and proportion, it makes up in terms of great details, top-notch articulation, and unique features (color-separation & more elaborate wings).

Revive just means they're going to re-do their older kits. If we're going by just the HGBF series then the Gouf, the Dom/Rick-Dom and the Zeta Gundam are certain to get Revive releases. I'm not sure if the HGBF Mega-Shiki can be converted into a Hyaku-Shiki but the potential is there. And while updated versions of some kits (The original HGUC Gouf and Hyaku-Shiki were very early HG kits) would be welcome, there's still tons of other MS that need at least an HG release if not an MG release.

Other than the F90 which I've been whining for years about, here's some other MS that should at least make it into HG or Re:100 format if not MG (Part of these are my wants, part of these are kits I'm surprised haven't had HG releases yet):

* Gottrlatan - (Katejina's last MS in Victory Gundam. Really should be made to pair against the just-released HGUC V2 Gundam)

* Xi Gundam - (From Hathaway's Flash novel. The GFF Xi Gundam is too freaking expensive)

* Dinn - (Could easily be made from retooled Cgue parts)

* Galbaldy β - (From Zeta Gundam, why has this kit not gotten an HG treatment yet?)

* Kapool/Capule - (From ZZ Gundam and Turn A. You'd think they'd have released an HG of this already! still waiting!)

* SUMO - (Like the Capule, you'd think they'd have released this in hG already but no. Even more infuriating, when the HG Turn A was released, they re-released the old Sumo kit in metallic finish on the P-Bandai website. A lot of my friends were FURIOUS!)

* Turn X - (You'd think they'd have ---yeah, you get the drift by now. Thankfully the Turn X had an MG release but we need an HG version to pair up against the Turn A.)

* Leo - (the grunt MS from Gundam Wing. I don't get why Wing and X had such great grunt MS designs that were either never released in kit format or else sold as Limited Model kits that had twice the price of a normal kit but with next to no posability. The Leo would be a fantastic grunt kit in HG format)

* Taurus - (like the Leo, there was a Limited Model kit that wasn't the best. Probably my favorite Gundam Wing grunt MS)

* Maganac - (Quatre's buddies' MS. These guys never even got a kit!)

* Barzam/Refined Barzam - (Not only did this never get an official kit (either version), Bandai trolled us with a box cover of it in Build Fighters Try)

* Gustav Karl - (From Hathaway's Flash and a short scene in Unicorn Ep 7. The love child result of a one-night stand between a Jegan and a Geara-Doga. This design doesn't get enough love)

* Vigna Ghina - (Berah's MS in Gundam F91 and should be released to pair up with the HGUC F91)

* Shokew/Rig Shokew - (Because we need more cool enemy MS kits from Victory)

* GN-XIV - (Gundam 00 is usually good about releasing kits of their grunt MS, but why not the GN-X IV? It doesn't even need all that much tweaking or retooling from the GN-X III design)

* Gundam Mk-V - (From Gundam Sentinel. They've already released the Doven Wolf and Silver Bullet which have similar structure, they can just retool it to the Mk-V. Also, to match it against the HGUC Ex-S Gundam)

* Silhouette Gundam - (From Silhouette Formula 91 manga/photonovel series)

[Wild Goose]

I'm trying to decide whether I should get the P-Bandai Prototype Stark Jegan. I've already got two Stark Jegans, do I really need/want a third? <.< Especially when I could get another 2 kits for the price of that P-Bandai exclusive... <.<

[bio9205]

I'm thinking of getting RD Reborns Gundam, any sites to recommend that ship internationally? I looked at AmiAmi, but it seems that all they have are secondhand ones: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/det...%24pagecnt%3D5

Advice?

[wavehawk]

...can't believe I forgot to mention the Efreet among the kits Bandai hasn't yet made. God, they've made kits for the Blue Destiny and the Gundam G 7th, why not the EXAM-Efreet or the Efreet Nacht?

Does it come with the large anti-ship missiles? If it does, then it might merit a purchase Incidentally, one of my friends gifted me a HG Stark Jegan as an early (early) birthday gift. I'm excited to build it!

I think I'll be buying that on my first paycheck...

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

I’ve been waiting for this kit since the first time I saw Zeta and noticing how lacking the MG 1.0 is. So yeah, no brainer. And finally, the proper AEUG trinity is here (though some people may swap Mk.II with Dijeh for their “trinity”).
