i still doubt that we will see an O gundam in MG form :P just like they arent giving us an alvaaron.

Atleast, 0 Gundam has 2 HGs. Alvaaron has none :

I think O Gundam is more important and relevant that the Alvaaron don't you think?

thats pretty weird in my opinion... i mean, EVERYTHING from OO got an HG kit. they even made multiple versions of some kits! so why no alvaaron? its the suit from the final battle of season 1 afterall.... there is a robot damashii version of it though which is supposed to be really decent.

i can see why they dont make MGs of those though. they probably arent popular enough and they only appeared for like 3 episodes each during the entire show. and the O gundam usually just appeared in flashbacks and had a couple of memorable moments in season 2, including the ending.

and even though the exia is really popular i dont really think that bandai could make a lot of money with the R2 version in MG form... everyone already has the exia. those who couldnt wait to get one got the regular MG version, those who waited got either the ignition mode version or the trans-am version. i dont think most of these people (including myslf) would shell out another 40 bucks only to get the GN sword kai and some minor changes in the armor :P i know i wouldnt! XD

The thinking I think is that Bandai wants to limit kits to the important kits to the story. Alvaaran is important since it was the enemy at the end of Season 1, but if you were Bandai, what would you decide to make into an SD,HG, and MG...?

Alvaaron or...

Exia R2
O Gundam
Astraea
Exia Avalanche
00 Qan[T] Full Saber
XN Raiser

Bandai tends to give more attention to lead Gundams, its variants, and its upgrades through the anime and manga of each Gundam series.

of course they release updates of older models, its cheaper than making a new one :P but they still have to consider how much of that model they would actually sell.

also: why do you put the gginfinite email address at the beginning of each post?

sneak advertising like the guy promoting TT hongli kits? lol

also, does anyone here own a MG the O or sazabi? i've checked the reviews on dalong but i'd like some more feedback on the kits themselfs from builders if possible, having a hard time making up my mind which one to buy

i did not promote anything >=T

but MG the-o and the sazabi are supposed to be pretty great. personally i definitely wouldnt buy the-o though, its just way too expensive in my opinion... plus it has a huge box so shipping would cost me a fortune! it looks great and it is supposed to be a good kit, too butfor me its just not worth it.

Hey App, it seems that you always buy gunplas online or through import/delivery service. Is there no hobby store that sell gunpla in your city or in any neighboring city? If there is, does the price really THAT high so that you prefer importing? Is there no sale at all?

As for me, there a lot of hobby shops in the neighboring city which is not far, btw. So, big box is not (really) a problem to me. Also, the prices are sometimes good too.

As for anybody else, do you prefer buying gunpla online or directly picking it up at the stores near you? Why? I kinda need a feedback here.

nope. there are a few comic book shops but they only have a very limited selection of HG and old 1/100 NG kits... i could buy online from german shops but their prices are ridiculous... like $420 for the PG OO raiser XP
i do save a LOT when i just import it.

It makes sense. If you want to save money, then import. But if you are in a rush, then get the kit from your local shop.

yeah, but since i mainly collect MG models and because i bought almost all 1/100 NG kits that i wanted in a 200 kilometer radius (those were two models to be exact...) i really dont bother with local stores anymore... the only shop i know that still has some HG kits left is 1 1/2 hours away and they only have stuff like the HG trans-am arios and other crap that im not interested in :P and its WAY too expensive so i really dont care anymore.

[suiton629]

Well~

I just added:

MG Exia (regular)
SD O Gundam
SD Exia
SD 00 Raiser
NG 1/100 Astraea

To my collection. It should be all coming in from Amazon this week.

=)

Now I just need to wait for:

SD 00 Gundam 7 Sword/G
MG 00 Gundam 7 Sword/G

...and hope we get:

SD Astraea
MG Exia Repair 2
MG O Gundam
MG Astraea

=P

no stores here (sweden) sells gunpla anymore as far as i know, there used to be 2 swedish sites that sold gunpla kits, but they charged close to 100 USD~ for a NG1/100 and close to 120USD for a MG kit, so i usually just import things from HLJ

from what i've heard people hated MG The O because it was subpar from what they actually expected, i mean you only get two sabre effects for the 4 sabres if i recall correct, im thinking about buying the sazabi just because i love the design and it comes with funnels :x

but i don't know right now, im thinking about just buying a full armor ZZ gundam because it's fatter, lol. anyone have any bad experiences with the MG fullarmor double zeta?
