It isn't limited release. You can get it by buying Hobby Japan February 2011 issue in December this year.

Exia costs alot cheaper by comparison compared to any of the newer HG, which is around 1.5-1.7 times more.

The Japanese Yen is getting stronger, which is bad for us and the Japanese economy. The reason is because it slows down import demand and those who do import have to pay higher costs.

And this doesn't even factor into the high default Yen price that is in discussion of said product (HG Raphael) but it will hit us as we import it to our places. So that's a double whammy.......>_>

I must say, this is one of the best custom mod designs I've seen and one of my favourites. I wish I had it.

Just remove the decals and it will be perfect.


"Lord Bushido(Vader), your Suit(fighter) is ready."


It is. He is referring to the fact that it will only be available in a magazine issue, as opposed to being a mass released model that will continue production and be more widely available, like most normal models.

I finally managed to get a HG 1.5 for myself; sadly, the stuff I'd need to assemble it is now in storage. Talk about timing...

got this pix from xhood, many speculation that this MG will be of 00 series.

Well, having two previous 00 MG releases next to the poster does kinda seem like the stage setting for another 00 MG.

If it is from 00, I'm gonna bet it's maybe a Gadessa...or possibly the Reborns Gundam.

Or maybe the Qan.

Given that the MG 00-Raiser was said to have been in development and planning stages as of this year's Shizuoka Hobby Show, I'm very much inclined to believe it'll be that.

Bah.:frustrated:

November - MG 00 Raiser
December - MG V2 ver Ka or maybe skip it for PG Strike Freedom ver Ka
finish this year poll, next year await us.

That's a speculation though. But if it's not 00 Raiser, I doubt if Bandai will make another grunt unit, except for the Flag. BTW I thought Exia and Dynames possess same frame and most of the S1 Gundam possess round chest so recycle or improve a little is not a bad idea, given the fact Neil is quite popular, not as Athrun though. BTW Astraea is not excluded.

Or they could just do a typical Bandai thing and make it the Exia R2 or GN-X III....

I'd love a MG Gadessa though. It has such a unique design.

dont think they would make a MG Gadezza, its not one of the most important suit, and thus wouldnt get Bandai as much money as others would

and it could possibly be 00 Raiser coz then they could do the whole "condenser type" thing in accordance with the movie

don't expect to get movie gundams so quickly.It will not be a grunt thats for sure.Expect it to be from:Dynames,Kyrios,Nadleeh,Virtue,Cherudim ,Arios,Seravee etc

I'm a total newbie if it goes for Gunpla but is it common to release a PG and then an MG kit sometime after it? Isn't that the wrong order?

Bandai has no patricular order to launch the gunpla types.Basically ti starts from hg ,mg and then pg.

Don't know why it isn't posted yet. Pictures of HG 1/144 Raphael.

It's VERY pricey, but I hope I can get a discount for it at the Gundam Fiesta here.

i dont get this 00 Raiser condersor HG kit, isnt it just the same as the regular 00 raiser but with the gn drives removed????? who the heck would buy that???

also i hope the MG for nov or dec for that matter is not the MG 00 raiser, considering i got the PG already, i would definitely be hoping for something different, as some1 mentioned already, a MG reborns would definitely be on the cards (kinda makes sense, then the 00 MG range would have 1 hero kit, 1 grunt kit and 1 villain kit, perfect trio lol) ... now thats something worth looking forward to

Same reason why people buy clear-color or pearl-color or "Commander's Version" kits of gunpla models: because they want to, and they can :heh:

Except that Bandai doesn't really cater to that particular logic when it comes to releasing model kits. The MG SEED line for instance didn't have a "villain" kit, but a plethora of "hero" kits (Strike, Strike Freedom, Destiny, Infinite Justice, Impulse).

Bandai's logic is to sell whatever sells, aka the designs that people have a high chance of actually buying. Hence why we suddenly got the MG The-O :heh:

my another overdue bday pressie =x

what so "epic" about the guy who didn't even have a proper battle

I do think Reborns is quite nice, but for it to get MG before 00 Raiser is kinda not convincing >.<

Seed even got the side story with some Strike variant 'n also don't forget the Astray, but I admit I prefer the Astray over the main story :D
I get a feeling we may have some other 2.0 version in the near future

i like the mecha , not the pilot =x

8D
HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT i FOUND FROM MY BASEMENT!
AND YES ALL OF THEM UNOPEN AND STILL IN WRAPPINGS!
I remember my mom hid them from me when I was little because I was getting bad grades from elementry school, that's like 20 years ago XD
oh and don't mind the date, my phone's camera always put wrong date for some reason :P



But now I don't know if I should build them or display them like that because they are over 20 years old and I can't find them in stores anymore.
