Nice touch with opening cockpit hatch and that the GFFMC team took into consideration that the Gouf is actually slightly bigger than a Zaku.

Picking it up for 36k or less would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandarake has screwed me over on a couple of macross planes. I have trust issues with them. I have a 4th set pre ordered from Sugo Toys , they usually deliver but they drag ass on pre orders. Not sure if I want to buy a 4th from Mandarake or Ebay only to have Sugo come through right after I make the purchase Edited December 9, 2023 by 68whiskey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, compared to what you're going to spend just to go there and get it, right? Though probably shipping cost is not included at this point. That's probably a couple of hundreds or more.

Hence, the price went down when it becomes widely available. We'll see if they're going to do the same with this 'limited' one due to its size.

Aside from this being a set and the mentioned bonus joint attachment for the Zeta Plus C1 for Booster Unit. The description from P-Bandai says it will have a new coloring specification. They're actually using the same image from the last one but colorized with different tint of red and blue for the new one. There wasn't any mention of different markings for this release. 2018 2024 Also here's the section on the color info from the promo image above. S Gundam w/ Booster 2024 Color; S Gundam 2018 Color; Ex-S Gundam Color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is a scientific explanation for it but my first guess would be because it is a cool looking and fun and engaging gimmick.
