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!

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. . . . . . .

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. |

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.

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.
