Not just having to buy 6 more, but you also need to PF up all of them too. You can do this 7 more times, right?
(Seriously still in awe of how good it looks even next to the actual PF version)
I'll get to the Cavaliers after I finish Hikaru's 1A and Max's 29....
I'll hold onto the second 0S for now, on the off chance that there's a reactive armor set. Though that may just come as a complete bundle... Hmmm
I was hoping Bandai had moved past 1980s packaging with the plastic trays on the 1/48 and 29 reissue, but then they went back to the accursed styrofoam trays.
Perhaps the styrofoam cartel is far more powerful than anyone anticipated. Thomas Midgely is smiling from the beyond.
Gundam don't have jet intakes or landing gear, so the average Bandai designer is perplexed by such strange things, like a caveman who fell into a crevasse and was found thousands of years later, thawed out, and forced to live in our modern world.
That looks like a customized Hasegawa TV SDF-1. Note the incorrect forward section which the Hasegawa kit reused because they couldn't bother creating a totally new mold for the TV version kit. Though I can't remember if Hasegawa released a cruiser mode kit or not.
Bandai plasters all that oversized and obnoxious tampo to dazzle and distract from the flaws in their designs. Like putting racing stripes on a Honda Civic.
Now that is the most interesting thing to come out of this!
Please don't be vaporware! And please make it 1/3000 scale!
I have little faith in Bandai though...
