Alright, caption below the shot of the Banshee's version of Unicorn's Magnum and Shield confirmed that they will be bundled with the HGUC Banshee along with the new armaments. Which is certainly very kind and uncharacteristical of Bandai. |
That's awesome news! Maybe the lack of trans-clear parts make the Banshee cheaper than the original Unicorn to produce. :heh:

A quick examination of the HGUC Unicorns' runners will shed light upon the truth behind Bandai's reasoning :-
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5...2097096786.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6397/1322097458058.jpg It's most likely Bandai is too lazy to remove the branch containing the old weapons from the runners, so they just copy everything wholesale and introduce a new runner containing the new armaments for the HGUC Banshee. But it's still puzzling as to why not an increment in the pricing with the intorduction of the one extra runner ? |
Well, I'm not complaining. Like I said, could it be that trans-clear parts cost more to make than normal solid ones?
|
so will the banshee (banshee mode) come with the bazooka or will it come with the rifle? just wondering only, either way i'm happy you get an extra weapon with this kit. :)

Not an uncharacteristic goodwill from Bandai at all; they simply can't separate the magnum for the Banshee NT-D since there are no "optional" gates on the Unicorn's NT-D's D plate.
Any translations on the HGUC Juaggu? |

As for the price being the same, you have to remember that transparent plastic is pricey compared to normal plastic. The Banshee instead of having translucent plastic has the wonderfully "adored" (or hated) Strike Freedom brown gold. This drops the price, but because of the added parts for the new weapons, the price ends up being the same. On the other hand the Unicorn mode of Banshee is indeed 100 yen more since a new runner is being added without any changes. |
And later they can always do the Gundam 00 route and release a version of the Unicorn with the translucent plastic.

But think of the possibilities if Bandai had thought way ahead of time here. Something tells me that the changes made to the Banshee was an 11th hour thingie and we might have transparent yellow instead of brown gold if everything was planned from the start. |
I think we still would have had that Strike Freedom/Sangokuden Gold, but a trade off being that we don't get the Unicorn's standard weapons. =/
Bandai seems to think gold=brown gold, which is unfortunate if you don't paint kits and also unfortunate in that the chemical composition of this on ABS plastic is weaker than the normal gray plastic. Anyone who has the MG SF or PG SF knows that those pieces are extremely weak and are prone to wearing away through simple movements. |

Im hoping there is a better finish to the yellow on the banshee, but then again could this be an evil way to boost sales of a "titanium finish" hmmm...
|
i dont think they will be making chrome gold for the pyscho frame for Banshee though...the cost is just top great to make it chrome
