There's no "debate". If it has an inner frame and the boxart has a big golden "MG" logo then it's a Master Grade. Tell your friend to stop being an idiot.
just use SUCKER PUNCH better

well, mostly know gundam and gunpla from the era of seed. (where torrent/direct download and streamyx start blooming lol) so maybe its just newbie mistake.
talking bout gundam, since when you guys start to know it?
like me, I was like 5-6 year old. (1994-1995) when I saw gundam stickers and cheap toys and kedai mamak

(also those mini poker card with gundam picture at the back)
never thought, I think the gundam was zeta, ZZ , and even f90 (since i dont see the hip canon thingy but has those fin at shoulder and leg)
ooppss my bad, f90 do have the vsbr

i notice gundam box since very young, first anime i watch was Wing, but since that time i very young so i know nothing about that, after that age 16-17 own my first gundam for first time.
first gunpla also STRIKE gundam NG 1/100... list as below...
gunpla experience
1) NG 1/100 STRIKE
2) HG 1/144 AEGIS - lil bro one
3) NG 1/100 FREEDOM
4) NG 1/100 BLITZ - lil bro one
5) NG 1/100 JUSTICE - lil bro one
6) MG 1/100 RX 78 4 gundam
7) MG 1/100 RX 78 5 gundam
-stop for many years till RG introduced-
8) ALL RG from now on.
that time not really know much gundam story, appreance only know RX-78,SEED series, Wing, and Zeta only i recognize.
and GP-01 too... very unique design... but not remember much that time. thought that is RX-78-2 variation.
talk about early gunpla, that time my first gundam already bought gundam marker but noob and dont know how to rub it off. and a unicorn (mitsubishi) silver marker.
that time i already notice the NG strike shoulder pad is very limited range movement then i use the knife to shave it off the peg inside, also i'd hate the 90 degree arm bending that fake out the joint for 1/100 NG.
