In a word, inflation.

Year 1994: NG 1/144 God Gundam 700 yen (this kit even comes with gold plating!).
Year 1995: HG 1/100 God Gundam 1,500 yen
Year 2001: MG 1/100 God Gundam 2,500 yen.
Year 2010: HG 1/144 God Gundam 1,800 yen.

Increase in cost of production is transferred to customers.  sad.gif

The gold plate 1/144 god must be the special edition one. The one I have only uses yellow plastic...

If there's an MG of it, you bet it would inherit MG Exia's legs. doh.gif

Even though Unicorn has less posing capabilities, its much stable, no? Anyway its good to hear that Quanta's leg might be the same as 00's. any chances of them making a new leg for it?

MG Unicorn's ankle joint is one of the worst i've seen. mad.gif

The problem is MG Quanta (if it's released) will inherit MG 00's legs and MG 00's legs will probably inherit MG Exia's legs. doh.gif

MG GN-X's legs also had similar problems like MG Exia. Guess it runs in the Gundam 00 universe. sad.gif
