I build only gundam models, MG's, PG's and 1/60 HG/EX's. Most of them were built straight out of the box without painting.
Am I the only one who do not really enjoy the building process? If there were a series of gundam toys with the same scale and details and possability as the MG's or PG's, I would gladly pick them up instead of the models.
So far I like the 1/60 HG/EX's most, because of their ease of building, and they are inexpensive for their scale.
Get it packaged in battroid mode, and I think the box size reduces by half!
I'm alright with the current box size, but I don't need black boxes, the low-vis box is definitely better looking. Sure, the boxes need to be tougher, with better graphics on the outside please.
Nice statistics!
Regarding 1/60's, let's say Yamato made a production run of 15,000 for each variant, from VF-1A Hikaru to VF-1D we have 9 variants, that makes 135000 copies, and we macross world members own roughly 1500,
that makes 1.1% ... <_<
Maybe the color of the FP will be different?
Also, since the FP version is 800 yen cheaper than bought separately, I wonder if the strike cannon will be included, considering the TV style hands will be bundled in too?
Hikaru's VF-1J will be coming both with and without FP versions around November.
Also learnt from here that Hikaru's VF-1A and Roy's VF-1S will be re-released with improvements.

Bandai sure is putting a lot of efforts into the Seed series.
For me, I'll just be contented with the 1/60 Strikes and Freedom for the moment.
I'm definitely going to complete my 1/60's collection (still waiting for sales to come along ), while building up on the 1/48's. I'm keeping my 1/55's as well. All my valks are never redundant.
