  1. MG Zeta Ver. 2.0 HD Ver. - January release, 5,250 Yen (inclusive of tax).

    What does HD mean for the model? It's not the chrome-plating thing, is it?

    I saw the same on the Mk. II's, but couldn't tell from the pics what the HD dealeo was all about... :blink:

    Yen too strong, must wait a while.

    Agreed.

    84 yen per dollar and falling, last I checked.

  2. A great movie. And I actually felt a tear rising when the Giant took on the nuke and said "Superman..."

    I took visiting family members to see this movie back on Dec. '99. To this day I can't forget the face my mother had (before she walked out of the movie, crying) when the giant took on the nuke... :huh:

    [as the Giant flies toward the missile]

    Hogarth Hughes: [in the Giant's mind] You are what you choose to be.

    The Iron Giant: [closes his eyes] Superman...

    When an animated flick can move you to tears, you know it's a good one. B))

  3. A friend and me have had wild theories that Veda is actually the old dude's* brain in a jar. ;)

    (* who spoke to the world in the first episodes about CB's mission to end warfare)

    As for the GN-X, looks like the bastard offspring of Turn-A Gundam and Gundam Double-X. :lol:

    Saji is gonna be looking to chop some heads off

    after loosing his (potential) fiancee and now his older sister, the only family he had left.

    :mellow:

  4. From Gunota:

    In Action!! Offshoot Gloucester - Cornelia custom, Summer

    GFF Gundam Mk III - May

    Gundam 00

    GN-X - New model MS equipped with a GN Drive,

    10 of which were each given to the Union, AEU, and HRL. First appearing in episode 20, the HRL's 10 GN-Xs repel the 3 Gundam Thrones.

    Design by Kanetake Ebikawa.

  5. I agree about the music video, but OTOH, it seemed to point out that someone will be looking to get even with the Gundams for ruining his & her future together. ;)

    Oh, and about the last scene on this episode...

    Question is whether these are real GN drives or fake ones, like the ones the Thrones use.

  6. Twin gatling guns look great. Too bad this comes exclusively for those who preorder a special edition of Gundam Unicorn Book. I am not sure how we get those from outside of Japan.

    Indeed.

    If they are smart, they'll release it as as add-on (ala Armored Core weapons) quickly. Otherwise, some entrepreneurial GK will beat them to the punch. :lol:

    Btw, just saw this at Gunota: HG Gundam Astrea

  7. A PG Freedom I can see, but a MG Legend? Did the 1/100 Legend look that bad that they had to redo it as a MG? Or are we milking? Something doesn't look right about that. Maybe some fanboy's wild speculation.

    There's been some speculation online that since the MG Destiny box art had the Legend in the background, that it could be released as MG. Guess they might end up releasing the GSD quartet (Strike Freedom, Destiny, Legend, Infinite Justice) in MG form after all. ^_^

    So, is Bandai "milking?" A-yup. :lol:

    MG Sazabi, S.E.? Hope they fixed the joint problems. :lol:

  9. I don't see that much coming from the SEED section anymore. Maybe one of the Astray units (I would lean toward Red Frame) but I don't see much more coming from SEED. Most of the other kits got a proper clean-up from BEE-Craft.

    I'm lowering my bet on Nightingale. Too big. Maybe later but not now. I still have X, Double V, Turn X, Asshimar high on the list. With Unicorn going to 1/100 NGs first, we will probably see a Unicorn MG but that will be down the road. They could use #102 for something easy like a CCA grunt unit or a recoloring. With Gundam 00 coming out They probably don't want to steal any thunder from that series.

    Hmm... There's already a 1/100 kit coming later this year from Gundam 00, so they might decide release it as an MG to promote the series.

  10. In other news:

    MG Destiny

    The special DVD which the stores are giving away with a purchase of MG kits have revealed the 101st MG kit to be Destiny Gundam. It is scheduled for a fall release.

    After a week or so of rumors and sightings, I guess it's now confirmed. :D

    Schweet. B))

    Hated the pilot, love the mecha. :lol:

  11. For those of ye who love this game and love to build (resin) model figures, there's a kit of Kratos coming out. B))

    Here's what I know -- A registered seller of the Clubhouse (a figure modeling forum) will be producing a 1/6 scale figure of the "Ghost of Sparta." They need at least 15 people interested for production to start, and there's already 7 (last I heard) on the waiting list.

    Here's the description of the figure:

    Sculpted by Daniel Santos 1/6 scale. It stands about 14" tall on base so your talking about a $135 per kit.

    Here are pics of the prototype: Piccys!

    If you're interested, contact the vendor on the Clubhouse forums (Jayco35, http://www.resinrealities.net) or or via email, if you don't have access to that forum, at these addresses: resinrealities AT netzero.net, jaycotoys AT netzero.net
