That sounds kinda harsh regarding the X series. AFAIK, the HGAW's sold pretty good. I would definitely buy more kits of the show.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Yeah, If only they would make, at least a decent, HG version of Gundam 'Hermit-Crab' Ashtaron from X series, I'll be the first one who pre-order it.

I also liked HGAW, even DX became one kit which I am most looking forward to, if Bandai actually release this one.

Plus the quality of the plastic and the end result, just like MG.

i know its harsh^^ but thats how bandai probably thinks about it. otherwise we would have seen a MG X or DX already!
but fans like the show a lot today and buy the models, so who knows what bandai will do^^

[StrikeFreedomV2]

Making more models i hope XD For real, Gundam X deserves and needs more love. It's an entertaining show with lots of great MS-designs. Satellite Cannon in MG-Form...*drools*

i think bandai mentioned a MG X in an interview somewhere... but i dont remember the details^^
im sure that we will get a MG X sometime in the future. the fans want it so bandai would be stupid not to bring it.
making money off of a dead show would mean profit for them as well afterall!

[Rising Dragon]

The only MG X I've seen mentioned recently was a doctored announcement image.

[maknaedik]

Bandai mentioned in an interview that they have no plans about MG X yet. It's the same interview wherein they said that Hyaku Shiki 2.0 will be made.

[Zero Hurricane]

When the Hyaku Shiki ver 2.0 released?

And man! No MG kit for After War series?

No confirmation about its release date yet. They only confirmed they'll be making it. Actually, what's unsure is the fate of MG Delta Gundam. I guess it'll be next year, but maybe still at the later half.

[casval cehack]

What about the other AU series? Imagine, five MG kits from Wing in 2011; it's almost an exclusive WG (Wing Grade), but Bandai is just probably riding the momentum. With this tweet of a new SEED MG (atleast for now), a change in the MG schedule is happening. Maybe (and hopefully) other famous suits in dire need of a MG rendition will get their chance next year.

G Gundam maybe hovering near the bottom of my Gundam series rankings, but I would immediately grab a MG Nobell.

Just found out that RG Freedom (18 Nov. release) also has a MG style sliding crotch for improved kneeling poses. The question is, how fragile is the 1/144 version. (via ossan blog).

Oh boy, I'm pretty excited about this. After having Wing dominate the Master Grade lineup for so long I'm itching for something new. Hopefully it won't disappoint.

[suiton629]

I hope the MG Exia Repair II is 1 of the kits Bandai is working on soon along with:

MG 0 Gundam (Type ACD)
MG 0 Gundam (Roll Out)
MG Astraea
SD Astraea

It's been a while since you said this, even though it's in your sig, LOL! But I really think, like what you've said in Youtube, MG Aegis or Justice might be the new MGs

Yea. I think that Bandai is gonna do a MG Aegis and MG Justice. But even Vegeta8259 on YouTube said like he thinks the MG Exia R2 and MG 0 Gundam might be good contestants to get MG treatment soon. If that's true, then I'd be super happy...maybe if they can top it off with the MG Astraea, MG Exia Avalanche Dash, MG 00 Qan[T] Full Saber...

[Znozzy]

personally this really got my hopes up for a MG Aegis, it'd just be awesome, i love the design, both the MA and MS forms are unique (well, aside from sidestory material added after it)

also, after some e-mail exchanging with HLJ and me, i will not be getting replacements for my smashed kits, after i got that reply i decided to just glue and try to patch them up as good as possible, hope it turns out well
