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 |
Speaking of destiny HG kits
Just done Dearka custom blaze Zaku phantom http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o...408B68F498.jpg |

@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: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--SA4LOSlAo...AA/s640/48.jpg 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 :eyebrow:. I don’t know about you guys, but I think it’s a waste of Bandai’s time, money, and effort. |

Also when it comes to the SEED Zakus, my favorite is HEINE's, ANY HEINE SUIT IS BADASS XD Quote:

Consider to get a/an (in-stock) Gunpla kit while still waiting the backordered HG GN-X to arrive...
Among HGUC Hi-Nu Gundam (Normal/Gunpla Builders GPB Color) and HG 1.5 Gundam, which do you think is the better kit for you? |

I got 2 green zaku warriors, luna's warrior, rey's phantom and 2 (heine and lacus clyne's exclusive) unbuilt http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...010gundam8.jpg |

http://dalong.net/review/hg/h95/p/h95_20.jpg Now I'm disappointed. I thought all were. |
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? |

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. |
Quote:
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 |

Wing EW Remaster Wing Zero (TV) Wing Zero EW Remaster Nataku Heavyarms Custom Sandrock Custom Tallgeese II Tallgeese III Then we might see a Serpent Custom? |

That said you need to get it out of your head that Bandai gives a single damn about any area that isn't Japan and south-east asia considering their major gunpla and gundam related decisions. |

On the topic of SEED HGs, do anyone know if the Slaughter Daggers Aile Pack is compatible with the Strike Noir? Im thinking of getting it for its yellow beams lol, and a cool grunt suit too (love that red/black/grey color scheme and the way they were used to slaughter innocent refugees)

Might get this now, I really need those yellow beams and grunt units are always appreciated How is your Strike Noir posed atm? Just a curious question I have mine on the base it came with in the classic angelic descending pose with the pistols in both hands at the sides and the binders deployed like a flight pack with both cannons facing off at an angle away from the suit. Out of all my kits this one really stands out, guess its due to me going through the pain of painting all the gray, red, and yellow which was needed to make the kit look nice |

I would certainly buy a HG Perfect Strike,IF the backpak can be mount on Slaughter Dagger or Gunbarrel Dagger. A "Perfect Dagger" would just scream awesomeness..:D Is it confirmed the Perfect Strike backpack would be release with no paint apps on it ??

Nu Ver.Ka. First model I ordered since freaking June, biggest MG release of 2012... And it's stuck in customs. Of course >__>
I hate that I (well, WE since most of us don't live in Japan) always have to import these kits. Oh well, it's thursday and it comes via DHL express. I really hope it will be released tomorrow at the latest, because then I can still have it on saturday if I'm lucky. Otherwise I won't have time to build it all week long! XP Since I am waiting now for it to be released and since this is a big topic when it comes to Gunpla, what was the longest time you ever had to wait for a package to be released from customs when you imported a model? |
I buy from a local vendor, who imports them. They must've preordered the MG Nu Ver Ka, seeing as they had it in stock five days after its original release.
|
Importing has got to be 1 of the biggest hassles and headaches because of currency exchange rates, waiting for customs, etc.
I try to buy everything that I want that is in the US be it through places like Amazon, eBay, Tatsu Hobby, Gundam Planet, etc. There are those super rare and very few instances where I've at least considered importing and I have imported things before from HobbyWave (based in Canada and I live in the US), Hobby Link Japan (which is in Japan as everyone knows), and well, it wasn't that good of an experience and the wait time is quite long. I usually check Amazon first though since I pay the yearly $79 (plus tax) for the Prime services which gives me unlimited 2 day delivery on most things sold on Amazon, and it's definitely worth it since I do end up buying more than 10 orders on Amazon in a year so it actually pays for itself (not to mention all the additional benefits I get through it). |
Biggest mistake i did when i ordered was through Amazon. Because i live in North America i thought it would be better for price and faster shipping but i was wrong. More like it was the longest to arrive and the most expensive to order through. I waited three weeks until it arrived and this was just regular UPS, FED-EX courier. I learned my lession quick and started to search for other places. Thank you Hobby-wave, Gundam Planet and HLJ.

Not model kit but super hcm pro unicorn which ordered from Taiwan in eBay . Took almost a mth to reach my home from the date I purchase it 2 years ago

Until now, no one has ever posted this. So I might as well do this myself. http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2013/0...ive-rg_17.html It's gorgeous! It's just sad that it's RG. I don't really care because I'm about to buy an MG of it before or after the end of the month :) |
