^ they just want to rip of our money & since people love it (remember it rank 2nd in the most wanted MG) thus more reason for them to take advantage. Period.

Looks REALLY poisoning to me!
yeah buy it when it release In my case if got I poison I do this instead of .
Seriously Bandai why cant u learn from Apple on doing marketing. Look how people line up when new product release. The marketing team only know how to do traditional capitalism selfish retarded style of marketing. If they can release mg exia ignition mode which include regular & damaged exia in 1 box why cant they just do the same to Deathscythe & Rezel. That way sure will fire up people's craze over their product.
That's because you can't market model kits the same way you do with electronics.
I stated there 'learn', not copy. Its about how Apple feed the craze of their fan on the product they sell. The strategy of Bandai product release can be adjusted so that we craze for more. Like I mention before they should release DS & Rezel both variation in 1 box instead of seperate release becoz they r too little difference to justify a separate release i.e the Tallgese 1/100 have the version 1,2 & 3. That way is more pleasing to the fan, me at least.

Nothing wrong.... it's just the flash of the camera that makes it look weird. The Delta Plus is greyish in colour with a navy chest piece... The rifle, however, is just wrong. Still don't understand why they nerfed it. Apple does the same shit as Bandai... release a crappy iphone first, then quickly release improved versions some time down the road... Same with Bandai... release basic model first then later come out with all sorts of variants with additional goodies.
Why include all those conversion kits when they know hardcore fans will be impatient and buy the normal Rezel, and few months down the track, voila! commander version.
I personally would prefer they release TG1 on its own... I'll buy that one, but not a TG3 with conversion parts like the 1/100 coz I have no use for the additional parts... I only want the roman warrior TG1.

Unfortunately, humans actually learn by copying or imitating... Nope, not really. I sense an Apple fanboy in you. If this is true, Apple should've packaged iPhone v1, with the conversion parts of v2, v3, and v4 together.
Apple aside, taking the example of MG Exia Ignition Mode, not many buyers are happy of having to convert Exia into repair mode. Why?
Consumer perspective: 1) Could only display ONE at a time. Exia or R1. You like both but can only choose one. Unless you buy another box (Bandai will be happy). 2) The risk of snapping or loosening up the joints with all the assembling and disassembling. Your tiny extra parts might go missing in time. 3) Forced to buy Exia parts when you only like the R1 version. No choice.
Producer perspective: 1) Extra value for consumer. Can swap back and forth between Exia and R1. 2) To cover all kinds of consumers. Do you like Exia only or R1 bundle? Bling on my weapons or not? GN Drive that lights up or not? 3) Making extra revenue from the bundle. Those who want R1 will have no choice but to get Ignition Mode, which is more expensive. Or they could be like StarGhazzer and me, ending up not buying any.
You see, from a producer's perspective, if they were to bundle them together, they are selling less as compared to two SEPARATE releases.
Looking back at Apple's example, everyone knows there'll be an iPhone v5 or v6 in the future. So why get v4 now? The cool factor! Electronics are a fad and to be seen with the latest one is deemed cool. Hence the "craze" that you mentioned. Model kits on the other hand, don't carry such an appealing image.
I wouldn't say their marketing strategy is bad. It is actually quite good as they're trying to achieve the maximum profit they can from each consumer (would you like some milk?). I'm a consumer as well, so i understand your feelings. I don't have limitless money also.
Perhaps I should've used the word 'inspire' instead of learn or copy.
My perspective of idea is since these plastic model is fictional, they can always have limitless design. what I dont like is they spawn the same design, put little tweak & make a separate release. The big O got 4 arms with high price tag but only 2 beam saber effect parts? really, it's just simply silly & not entertaining. I want back the days of the Sinanju craze Imagine if every release is crazy as Sinanju release. Bandai still make money too. If want more of my money, spawn more design or at least make the design more distinctive like exia/astrea or strike/strike E(therefore can save RnD for moulding). they'r still so many gundam series which still got no love, & later got manga for gundam wing which will spawn more release. the road for their product release is endless. Silly tactics like this is just...shit, man
capitalism suck
Added on August 10, 2010, 11:03 pmnow got GN drive-less 00 raiser. Ahahahahahahahaha another pwnage.

I don't know whether my feeling is correct or not, I have a feeling that Bandai will remake the 1/100 MG Sinanju for the Gundam Unicorn Animation series... Now I still struggle whether buy it or not
u loose nothing if u wait till epsd 6 release. the problem is handling the temptation. if u cannot handle the temptation then u loose. I was waiting for Sinanju non ver ka but the TT hongli pirate recast is tempting me. I dont want to buy a crappy version of the kit I love the most but the price is irresistible therefore I shell out my money buy the ori so the temptation go away. I m happy with it altho up till now still not assembled the kit

Hi all
Need some comments/consultations from you guys, I was planning to get myself a MG Exia ignition mode but after seeing some reviews about the kit particularly the leg problems, i don think i have the same urge to get it anymore so i wanna whether the normal MG exia has the same exact mold/mechanical designs as the ignition mode or its completely a different one?
for below rm200 I would suggest Infinite Justice, Astray Red/blue or MG Wing. they should satisfy ur interest in the cool looking & stylish factor. Old school mg UC design not stylish, at least to me. They r build more for the mechanical looks.
female model kit is kinda new. or so i think. b4 they got release pangyo ( sum golf online game) characters now koto is goin to out rockman's gf? later out FSN saber . u can see hoi hoi san also getting alot of attention
later will got cast-off able one but I dont think it will look good tho
