Snow White - The lead Gundam, piloted by Heero and contains Zero System. Warlock - Advancement of the Deathscythe line of Gundam's in all likely hood and piloted by Duo Jr./Fenrir. None of them are likely to get Model's this year, Promethus even when revealed isn't completed and they still have the rest of the EW suits to hit depending on how far they take the Leo Frame, and then then Kai's for Altron, Sandrock, and Heavyarms. |

Most of the EW gundam team and tallgeese kits are probably a go at some point, with them being 80-90% recolors AGE is highly dependent on sales, not too hopeful for DB and Grandsa (due to all the new armor and whole backpack fetching a higher price which I dont think much will be willing to pay for an AGE kit). As for the 3 and FX variants those depends on the normal ones sales Quote:
U know what, im gonna rephrase what I said earlier "The HG SEED/DESTINY screwed up on most of the main noticeable units" I also forgot to say that the Stargazer line was actually quite good, you could see the transition to the 00 style of HG kits with better proportions and articulation |

1/144 HG main suits in destiny (Strike freedom, impulse, destiny, legend...) were not good, with the exception of saviour gundam. But on teh bright side most of those will get or allready have MG/RG's I do like the 1/100 HG line from seed/seed destiny, that had good value for money! IF you avoid the main gundams (freedom, strike freedom, justice, destiny) But i think a 1/144 or 1/100 HG slash zaku phantom (Yzak type) will still hold it's own today. When seeing what they did for the 1/144 HG M1 astray, we can only hope that they do a modern 1/144 HG Windam and GUaiz MG's will off course be better, but have to stay realistic, we will only get main suits in MG. |

So far for 1/100 NGs I got the red frame (amazing kit for its time), and the Vent Saviour (still unbuilt). Thinking about picking up a Legend too as that kit is very well done, but holding off just in case the MG come around |

GOOD IMO! it doesn't have the latest waist joint, but its bend is decent. I love the color separation, even though it could be better if was released nowadays. This is the time that you'll see the improvement of parts separation.
That build of yours might fool someone that Bandai actually have released that kit! Nice job!

@duotiga: Nice, it's been so long since I've seen that kit.

Oh, and speaking of awful HG SEED, this one is also a good example: Seriously, this decision of Bandai just doesn’t make any sense to me. If they just want to “test the water” on Perfect Strike’s sales, why not just release an additional parts of Perfect Pack for RG/MG Sword-Launcher Strike? I bet that would cost less production-budget than creating a brand new mold of HG Perfect Pack (plus, it'll sell like hotcakes for those who already own RG/MG S-L Strike). Instead, we get Perfect Pack created for the lame-duck HG Strike which has bad proportion and articulation . I don’t know about you guys, but I think it’s a waste of Bandai’s time, money, and effort.

Oh man! I thought they didn't. My bad. That just proves on how much attention I give to Seed HGs because overall, they're... you know besides the fact that I dpn't prefer 1/144 scale

If only I have extra cash, I also want to get MG Johny Ridden's Zaku II, but I'm still too occupied with MG & HG Gundams and other custom suits. Zaku is really not that high on my must-buy list.

I'd chose the HG 1.5 in a heartbeat coz I think the kit looks beautiful. The design is simple but effective, not too busy with a lot of accessories. Proportion and articulation are excellent. Also, it has a nice color scheme (white & purple mostly) which is pretty rare for a gundam. Furthermore, Gundam 1.5 isn't made into MG (yet), so the HG is the only way to enjoy it (while you can buy the superior MG Hi-Nu when you have the money). HG Hi-Nu is also good and quite big. If you like a more traditional design with backpack fully equipped with six funnels, you can go with it (beware: only two of HG Hi-Nu's six funnels are "real" ).

Sometimes, I'm a bit concerned with how Bandai is doing things. I mean their manga/DVD/BluRay business side is just ruined since they overprice everything, and now they don't do anything in the US since people didn't want to pay an arm & leg for it, but now they do stupid things with their GunPla business...
- rozen zulu hg... brown? - perfect strike hg ... same crappy hg kit with a new mold for the pack when they could have just held off and released a "perfect strike pack" for the rg or the upcoming remastered mg aile strike - not releasing some mg's (like from age) - focusing too much on 1 series at a time (like seed in 2012) when other could've used some attention. Like why don't we get an MG of this guy: http://inb4suiton.blogspot.com/2013/...custom-ew.html We got a 1/100 HG years ago. I think maybe Bandai is going back into their 1/100 HG backlog of kits released, and "remastering" them in 1/100 MG. So.. Sandrock Custom Heavyarms Custom Nataku Tallgeese II Tallgeese III Serpent Custom ...are likely?

AGREED! We all know how Age did poorly. I guess all we can do is to accept T_T My Age-2 DB and Orbital will not be seen anytime soon or even forever.

Releasing it for the RG would be more expensive, same with a MG, since they would need more complex molds instead of two blocks with pegs on them Quote:
SEED got attention because they had the REMASTER going as a off-set for AGE's hilarious failure, the GAT-X series would sell like milk, and they sure did i do agree that they should focus on other shows aswell, Gundam X for example, it would be lovely if they released atleast the X itself in MG form. |

Point 3 is redundant, by that arguement I can say the UC MG line sucks cuz there are over 100 kits from UC which does not have a MG kit, some of which are actually long overdue Point 4, once again, business, going all over the place is not a good idea, keeping ca central theme while adding in some other stuff here and there works the best to keep it fresh while still being focused MG Serpent? Unlikely, It would require a whi=ole new mould and inner frame |
