FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF---WHY BANDAI, WHY

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

I just noticed that they released MG Hyaku Shiki Kai this time after previously skipped it right to the Kai Mass-Produced (MP) one. Only this time, they decided to go blink2x on it, probably to emphasize its uniqueness and its non-MP-ness.

Well, it's a bittersweet surprise. I always like the Kais. It's too bad that they have to be Exclusives for Bandai to make them into kits. *continue grumbling while preparing money for the pre-order*

Now I like the Full Armor Unicorn, it's likeable overkill in a silly way.

But my god the Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt ver just looks great in everyway.
Thats a nice FA model.

Also far too many exclusives now, what is the point, like every model out is one.

I mean wtf why is the MG Zeta Plus an exclusive, why?!

[MoonLightShadows]

Noo! I was waiting years for the Efreet Schneid to become a HG but now its a Re/100 Fingers crossed for any other Unicorn Colors Zeon Remnant mobiles suits to become HG's?

Because there are already 2 MG Zeta Plus' out there and the changes are extremely minimal? This is a perfect example of an exclusive that makes sense, all the parts already exist, the only changes are color swaps

They already released all the main kits they could, any other would be slight mods of existing kits, hence P-Bandai's if they decide to release them

huh, with the RG Sinanju hype going on, i bought a BB Legends SD version for fun & collect all versions of the kit, only to notice it had a weird ass gimmick that some SD versions of the 'real type' suits had that's not on the original designs,

this time the SD Sinanju can transform, uh....... by splitting its upper & lower body unlike a Bawoo or Zanscare suits via parts-forming & rearrange said parts, the upper torso becoming this silly MA mode with the propellant tanks replacing the arms & the head reattached to the chest area, while the lower body became a shitty GERWALK mode that is the legs with the shield in place of the upper torso, the beam axes forming wings, & the rifle plugged on the rear skirt........ pointing backwards which am not sure is practical,

its quite a bizarre sight that a cheap small kit of the Sinanju that can transform but no one has yet to replicate it by modding the normal kits, to be fair it looks dumb as hell.

Well thats just fine then, don't need to care about that if they are using the old mold.

I'll only really care when they give me a brand spanking new C1 anyway.

Also, for people who don't live in Japan, why would they want the more-expensive Unicorn-version of MG Zeta Plus which are jobbing real hard and wasn't able to do anything before they got stomped like trash by the Jestas in the show? I would rather buy the old MG Zeta Plus which derived from the Sentinel novel/manga where they actually kick some ass (or at least not being humiliated hardcore ). Also, some people might not believe this, but the old MG Zeta Plus is a great and solid kit which I rate above MG Zeta 2.0. Yes you heard that right. It's that good imo. So, Bandai reusing the old mold is kinda justified, though I don't know if I can say the same about the Exclusive MG Powered GM.

Also, if people really need to get the Unicorn-version of Zeta Plus, the HG is there for them, and it's already a great kit for such a jobber mech . Or just buy the old MG and learn to paint because it doesn't require much to change it into the UC-version.

Actually I've always heard good reviews about the Zeta Plus models and why I'm still ok with getting the old C1(always out of stock) but I'd still hope for something new as well.

The C1 was my very first gundam model but this was way back in 1998(give or take a year) I think that I had gotten it.
So thats before the 2000 models.
So not sure if it was even made by bandai then but didn't matter to me, I had real idea of gundam or anime back then just that I saw it and liked it.
I was a dumb kid that saw a model of giant robot with a big ass gun, so why wouldn't I love it!

Aside from having to buy a whole other MG for the UC era rifle :P (MG Rezel or Delta Plus)

Hey, that's still a lot better than buying one bloatedly-priced kit. At least you can display your MG Delta Plus/ReZel with the beam sabers.

Or just get the MG Rezel Defenser A/B, then you can just give the spare rifle to the Zeta Plus since its got shit tons of other weapons lol

Damn it, I just bought Form 6 and weapons support pack yesterday now I see Bandai planning to release the whole set anyway.

[Router25]

and don't forget the series has still not ended so another p-bandai barbatos all forms update might come up again

[Faux Mecha]

now i just realized the seven Barbatos's forms lining up with each other gives the Seven Samurai vibes, cannot unsee
& might beg me to buy more Barbatos's to display all of its forms at the same time

That's it. In protest I am modding my hG 1/144 Gundam Kimaris into a Sith Lord.

I'm serious.
