That's not true. The original intention of the MG line was to release updated model kits of older productions that either didn't have a model during their time or to update the models to fit "modern" standards.

Do you honestly think the Hi-Zack or the Gyan sold like hot cakes back during their 1980s release?

The MG line now, especially with these 2.0 releases seems to be an attempt to redefine certain mecha to make them more functional and appropriate display pieces, even if the original proportions are sacrificed for greater functionality.

I'd accept V2AB or Turn A as 100th release. Even if it's just plain Victory Gundam. It's the last title mecha of the UC that hasn't been MG'ed and also the last series of the UC timeline.


MG ∞ Justice is so unlikely that they didn't even bother MG-ing the stock Justice Gundam, which is rather sad.

V2AB as a MG would be a huge plus for me......V-dash would be good also

that is beautiful the re-colour, i love this one. any idea when or if we can get the re-colour and stuff? i remember in the concept drawings there was this colour too

[mangatron]

Hmm....with that comment about Zaku II v2.0 I thought of something....

100th MG, a Zaku II v2.0 Char colors with MG RX-78 OYW version recolor, comes with special action base to hold both mobile suits!

Note: pure speculation on my part

lol

Well, no telling what's next. I'd like the 100th MG to a normal one, but have an announcement alongside it like "We, the Bandai, have decided to Version 2.0 all of our MG line that wasn't V 2.0'ed yet"

Ok I'm not helping lol....

/me slaps kct with a MG Strike Noir model kit

[Kittie Rose]

I'd love an MG Turn-A, because of it's uber-detailness. There aren't a lot of Gundams that have that.

Most Gundams aren't as suited to higher end model kits, IMO, because they're often quite basic shapes.

Anyone know the drawbacks of MG Freedom from Dalong's site? I'd like to know why it only got a 98. What caused it to lose the two points?

From my perspective, I just finished mine (love it btw) but the wings are the only problem. The fact that I shake the model a bit, the wings tend to be shaky (not lose) and the perfect geometry concerning the lining the male and female parts of the wings so that they don't loosely rotate are problems I'm encountering.

[kct]

Wings are one of them, actually, that stopped the MG Freedom from getting better scores.

manga: Stop slapping me with the Noir >.> .

[mangatron]

Yeah, those wings are too thin in my opinion. Although the (plasma?) canon's on the wings are nicely done, the wings just seem so....thin lol. Even thinner than... that 1/100 no grade SF

You know you want it. You know you want yet another Strike Frame re-hash. You know the re-hashed frame is all your money's going into. You know you...wait, does that mean you don't want me to supply you with one? For free? Cool, I save money, shipping, tax, health insurance, VAT, etc....

[philmein]

Yeah, but whatever. They don't really make a huge difference. The kit still overall gets a two thumbs up from me.

Anyways, did anyone buy the Hi-nu Gundam? I just received mine yesterday.

I maybe consider a MG IWSP (to be frank, I never have a Strike-based MG at all) >.> .

Anyways, on the subject of the Hi-Nu, it surprisingly sold out at the shops that sell the Hi-Nu.

[nightbringer360]

Got myself a Hi-Nu from Rainbow Ten. They had a discount and I paid 5600 yen instead of the full price of 7000.

No more models for me until I see if they do some I really like

[philmein]

^^
Doesn't HLJ still have some in stock. Right now, it's status is at a yellow which indicates "low stock."

[Kittie Rose]

Hey, is the 1/100 Turn-A any good?

Also what WING MG would people recommend? Thinking of getting into that series.

While I don't have the Zero Ver. Ka, I do have the Zero Custom (oddly enough, with me here in germany), and it's basically same frame with a bit of added armor here and there, and of course the wings. I do kinda like the Zero Ver. Ka, since that can transform, while my Zero Custom just looks like it can hide in a flock of doves

Dalong's site has pics of both, so if your into differences, you can check there. But for my opinion, I'd like to have the Zero Ver. Ka, I like transforming stuff
