The O will only appeal to old school/ UC elitists (lol) fan boys like me, who grew up on UC stuffs.

Nothing beats stuff from UC smile.gif

Furthermore, the Zeta movies ruined the awesomeness of The O for me. Camille turned into a vegetable after the fight...In the movies, it was like Doo Deedee Doo...

Yeah Bulky MS in UC era are full of Win...Doms, Acguy, Sazabi, Khastrya, Quibleys and the like! thumbup.gif

I hardly remember OO's big suit hero, except the pilot being a shemale... whistling.gif

Bandai release MG quite bad today(Musha MK-II, FA Gundam and The O?)
but RG RX78 beat all those MGs lol... RG Rx78 locked-on!!

hahaha i wonder will Bandai release RG Shin Musha?

What other MG you got in mind? More Version 2.0's? laugh.gif Hell no! I'm an advocator of new never before model kits. Bring on the less popular MS! Need some grunt units from F91!

QUOTE(Parody @ Jun 25 2010, 08:22 PM)
That's just my prediction because I expect them to milk the Astray mould.

Add the normal backpack, standard shield and rifle, repackage and sell at 3,600yen. Sounds too easy for them.  laugh.gif
Or add M1 flightpack, repackage and sell at 5,000yen.

Then there's Blue Frame (just add bazooka),
Green Frame (just add twin beam saber/rifle),
Gold Frame (just add Duel's bazooka),
Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Custom (more work required but it's still quite a popular kit),
And there's a long list of Astray variations that i don't think would have any chance whatsoever to become an MG kit.

It's just a matter of time, and from the looks of how hot the MG ARF Kai is selling, the normal MG ARF won't be anytime soon so as to not disrupt its sales.

Gundam Super Expo 2010 has some nice limited Gundams. Hope our year end competition has them.  wink.gif

Like you, the only event limited unit I'm interested in is the Heine Destiny thumbup.gif (Though he was like cannon fodder, lol!)

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Jun 26 2010, 09:12 AM)
The Sazabi's two town is barely noticable, unlike The O's which is very much an eyesore. Judging from the preview pictures, it seems like The O is going to end up like most big MGs - big, bulky, heavy, but useless in posing.

Ain't all big model kits the same? laugh.gif Even if they ever release a Nightingale, it's gonna be more or less a big, bulky, heavy chunk of RED plastic that's gonna be pretty useless in posing laugh.gif

Looks like the MG The O is going to have two-tone colours based on the pictures of the runners... bad move Bandai, since the two different shades of yellow don't fit at all.

http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthre...page%3D1&page=5

Note that there aren't any pictures which show off the leg articulation. Which may suggest that there isn't any much to begin with, just like how the MG Unicorn pictures all show the gunpla standing straight instead ot the usual fancy poses.

Now go release the MG Delta Plus... pretty please.
*
No offense here, but does anybody even recall The O doing the (now very famous Zaku) kneeling pose from anywhere? Even the HG and the MSIA kits provided very limited leg articulation.

The O being the hard core heavy duty kickass MS that's suppose to be just needs to fly around in Zero G to open up a can of whoopass! The thing is about maneuvarability (from thruster action) and not striking a pose! laugh.gif

Hell, the thing could have FG style articulation, I'll still take one! laugh.gif

the leg is funny. even if it can bend it will look like the leg is shortened/cutoff. also limited articulation coz of the thick front & back skirts. size comparison with the zeta gundam, it looks too big. almost like PG. price also like PG. I believe only die hard fan will buy(maybe theres a lot in japan?). maybe thats why Bandai reluctant to release it earlier. for me, not economical at all rclxub.gif

yeah it looks like turtle laugh.gif

Well, I'm a hardcore Zeta Fan laugh.gif icon_rolleyes.gif , and the leg looks fine. You guys have been spoiled by too much OO, Seed, and Seed Destiny MS's already laugh.gif

Providence and Legend Gundams look more like turtles to me laugh.gif

when will they release the ones from the seed/destiny series? hmm.gif i think it might be around 2011 or something since they just released the ones from the UC timeline
*
Dude, they always release stuff from UC first. I think we got better chance of seeing stuff from OO since it's the latest series and still fresh in people's minds.

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Jun 27 2010, 08:22 PM)
The Delta Plus may look like the Hyaku Shiki, but if it ever gets released it will have a different frame due to its transformation mechanism. In fact it will be very distinctive from the Zeta as the legs flip in opposite directions (down, rather than up) and the skirt armours flip backwards like the Rezel. The wings however are likely to follow the Zeta Plus's design.
The point regarding The O's lack of articulation is a statement, not a complaint.

Providence is WIN. Legend suck. Nix Providence on the other hand dropped into a barrel of mutating goo.

Actually I like both Legend and Providence. Reminds me of Master Roshi laugh.gif I wonder if any did Master Roshi custom colours for them... laugh.gif Really need both MG's to accompany the Freedom and Strike Freedom. thumbup.gif

More like mutating poo! laugh.gif I have since block the images of Nix Providence and any other Vs Astray stuff from my mind....Bandai really dropped the ball there for me rclxub.gif

All the old ones that i actually like i've already bought  laugh.gif 

Except for MG GP02A. That kit is bad.  sad.gif
Actually, it can have TWO beam sabers there. Now you know why The O has so many fans.  tongue.gif
Relax. It'll make it to our year end competition...  wink.gif
Popular bookstores?  unsure.gif

What's so bad about the GP02A?

Aside from the fact that it can't really can't hold the Shield, it's pretty badass. Being an older kit you really need to reinforce the arm joints. It get's loose quick if you mess around with it.

It's still my favourite MG. thumbup.gif

You want a bad kit? Look no further than Zeta V1, now that's a bad kit! laugh.gif

I'd like an MG GP02A 2.0 as well  icon_rolleyes.gif
To me, whether it fetches a high price or not depends on three things:
1) Buyer's main reason for purchasing.
2) Condition/Age of the kit.
3) Availability and demand in the market.

Generally, almost all painted/modded kits fetch a higher a price than retail UNLESS your paint job is sloppy, or the colors you used are too radical like this:

I think we got better chance of a V2 of a ZZ. Looking at the bandai trend of releasing V2's from the 2 original series. I was expecting a V2 ZZ but they produce a more affordable HG ZZ instead.
