so happy to grab RG Justice today ^^

Question.
What are the Pros and Cons of the Real Grade line? Do you think that we will eventually see 00 series and Age series getting Real Grade kits? From Seed, I know we have the Strike, Freedom, and now Justice. What happened to Strike Freedom, Aegis, and Infinite Justice? What about Impulse (and packs) and Destiny? |
Honestly, I want the RG line for the outdated HG kits. I don't want to see 00 or Age kits in the near future. Their HGs are already superb. I want to see UC and X kits more.
|
How about RG Psycho Gundam? Or better yet, RG Psycho Gundam Mk.II! :D
Just like many other, I'm also waiting for RG ZZ. The MG is lacking, the HG is better, so I think the RG will be the ultmate version untill MG ZZ ver. 2.0 appears. |

So I mean.. If you think about it, business is about profits, and profits are where the mainstream consumer is...which at this point is Age, 00 (to a degree), Unicorn, Wing, and Seed/Seed Destiny. So anyway, I am still a bit intrigued as to why people praise the Real Grade line so much. I never saw 1 in real life. |

I say that maybe after the Age line of MG all comes out, then we might see more UC stuff. |
Quote:
a MG ZZ 2.0 might happen, it's a bigger chance than a MG R2 and 00Q[T] ELS UC and its kits are still is the biggest cashcow in the Gundam franchise and odds are it'll stay that way for a decade or so. |
Quote:
If they want to bring out a ZZ 2.0 it won't be affected by what they are doing with the AGE line. |
Quote:
Yes Nike, Age is more profitable timewise. And no, not 00 again. Its time is not hot anymore. But RG? Nope, I think they already have enough money from RD, HG and MGs from Age. Let the RG line role for other timelines which are STILL PROFITABLE REGARDLESS. Imagine, from SD, HG, RG, MG, Megasize, PG, RD and all the lines, you'll only be seeing Age and 00? How diverse can that be? Of course, Bandai must get a wider audience. A better market than kids who do nothing but whine. What I can't believe is that they know how to work and actually earns money. |

Which is why no use explaining, have put Nike in my ignore list. He just don't seem to get that UC & seed dominate the market .

However trying to argue it after the SEED HD and more so to claim that AGE is even in the same universe when it comes to appeal or selling power as SEED let alone UC is lunacy. |
Let us do a detail market analysis fo MG since Nike is engrossed on it.
MG launch kits are usually end of the mth , the trend is usually 1- UC 2- Current series 3- other series 4- repeat Current series protagonist 1st suit usually launched somewhere mid of the series or after the end of the series (less AGE which already broke the trend) Let us look at the SEED series that have already MGfied Aile Strike Strike Rouge Freedom Strike Noir Strike Freedom Destiny Infinite Justice Strike IWSP Strike E +IWSP Launcher/Sword Strike Force Impulse Sword Impulse Blue Frame Second Kai Red Frame Second Kai & recently of the remaster Duel Assualt Shroud Blitz Buster soon to come Aegis special/ limited Strike Freedom full burst destiny extreme blast Strike Freedom clear Destiny clear Phase Shift down Aile Strike Aile Strike with bazooka let's take other series launch say... 00 for MG Exia 00 Qant 00 Raiser 00 7 swords/g limited/special Exia ignited mode Exia Trans am 00 Raiser Trans am Even for Wing series normal release Wing zero custom Deathsycthe Hell ew Wing ver ka Deathsycthe EW sandrock EW Shenlong EW Heavy Arms EW Wing EW (recolour) MG limited/special Wing zero custom pearl (2 ver) While MG mainly focus on UC suits , non UC suit does not have that range compare to SEED as they include the msv also. SEED also have their own HG1/144 line for MSV which most of you know , so is 00 series but the range is more than 00 itself in terms of HG 1/144 now let's shift to RG. RG is the new MG in 1/144 scale with even more detailing. Let's see the launch so far RX-78-2 Char Zaku II Aile Strike Zaku II mass production Sky grasper Freedom RX-178 AEUG RX-178 Titan Justice (Zeta) you can clearly see that that the trend every 2 mth release is either - UC - SEED (other series) - alternating partly is due to the remaster series for the BR, youtube reboradcast. Even for limited release they went for seed Strike Rouge phase shift down Strike Strike without Aile Phase Shift down Freedom Phase Shift down Justice While other UC series are getting the BR release hence the launch of the kits also if you follow the trend (with exception of Unicorn which they heavily milk the UC fan) |
Not that I disagree, as I mentioned I do agree for the most part. However you left out Wing TV on the MG list.
Wing depending on how and what exactly they plan to release as far as the EW MG line could close the gap and be right near SEED or Destiny as individual series. Though when you factor them both in and Specail versions even Wing gets stomped. Doesn't even take into account RG/PG/HG's which SEED has far, far more then Wing or most series combined that aren't UC. Again, I still just find it crazy how someone can really keep acting like any major fanbase has been built for AGE when all we have seen is shows us this is clearly not the case. |
While i do agree with you that way before the revise 1/144 scale, Wing dominate in the scale for their grade which they even come out the 1/60 Wing Zero TV ver for the non UC as Wing has been heavily marketed in West & Asian countries way before other series.
As most people (including me) starting gundam on Wing (though SEED really brought me back into collecting gunpla) the list for MG SEED also left out the metal finishes for Freedom & Strike Freedom & 00 normal Mg is GN-X |
You left out GN-X for 00 MGs.
Are they breaking the MG trend you mentioned? Buster and Aegis are being released in successive months. |

As for RG Haykushiki, I won't rule out as that would make its 1st chrome RG kit & complete the Gyphios war team & the gold would make similar to what they did to the hguc Delta Forget to mention that now even go to extend of Web shop limited hg1/144 meteor unit alone premium for the RG freedom and Justice. |
Well, a chrome gold RG Hyaku Shiki would be incredibly expensive.
Hoping the RG UC line expands into Unicorn in the future. With the new RG Zeta "revolutionary" frame, there's a possibility for Delta Plus! |
