got feeling that there will be MG Bearrguy III
seeing the popularity of HG kit(sold out everywhere)

the old 2005 MG is nearly perfect and no flaws at all
I think its good way to recycle the old mold

If you are looking to buy P-Bandai stuff, you can normally order them from G-Wing.

I ordered the RM Launcher/Sword Strike add-on from them last time.

Each person has their own perspective.

It's quite hard to say, Beargguy is popular enough but it didn't make into MG, I suspect because the animation wasn't well known enough. We may have a chance with Beargguy III though, as GBF is trending now tongue.gif

im just stating business sense, bandai is a multi billion dollar corporation whose main goal is to get profit. Why on earth would they do something that would lead them to lower profit margin? Some1 ask/wonder/ponder/hope/dream on something, i merely provide an answer from a business perspective, is that wrong? Im just being a realist.

which beargguy r u talking about here 1st? beargguy san or just regular beargguy? Regular beargguy has long pass its due, HOWEVER with beargguy san being 1. popular, 2. currently running show, 3. reuse mold, it make business sense to release san. And with the help of beargguy san, regular beargguy might stand a chance by riding its coat tails. On its own, regular beargguy chances r abysmal.

thru my friend over there. Of course whenever, but whenever before the item release date that is. If you check pages for product that was already released, the dropdown to select the number of item only have 0

you'd think they would want to do business properly laugh.gif has it been like that for a while now? sounds very weird and not exactly good idea for business
unless exclusives really are limited run? i always thought they are just japan exclusive and can be purchased at any time there

the reason is most likely more towards demand for the item. They're afraid that those items might not profit in the long run so they just do a one shot production according to just how many order they got. And if you noticed, most of these exclusives are just repaints or slight add-on or those that have only little appearance in the show/novel@comic spin-off
however, there are some item that will also be reissue if there's plenty of demand. Best example is those wing effect parts and if I'm not mistaken rebawoo is also getting a 2nd reissue (I may be wrong but I did read this at gundamguy's blog)

to sum it up, bandai is just playing safe laugh.gif

ah, right.. i remember reading about the reissues now.. i suppose that is a more sound business strategy, so as to not overstock and make losses.. but some so called P-Bandai exclusives should really get a normal release, like the Rebawoo.. it really stands out and is different enough from the Bawoo to warrant a proper release

well thats certainly not me, im all in for new sazabi for as far as i can remember, when at that time 2.0 was all the rage sazabi and nu were among the top favorites to get a redesign and for good reasons too. Extremely popular, tons of zeon fanbois all over japan, old 1.0 proportion issue, a sure big seller, its a no brainier really. To be honest I nvr expected it take this long for new sazabi and nu, granted the version that we eventually got is far better then what a 2.0 could have achieved.

reissue is a risky move
look at Banshee Ver. Ka, when first released, everybody is crazy about it, people still buy it even at goreng-ed priced
now reissued, plenty of stocks whistling.gif
