Hahaha, RD Exia Repair is a Tamashii Webshop limited item. xD"; Not that I'm planning to get it, I prefer gunpla to Robot Damashi. I wonder how they decide which MS get limited releases. With Regnant, it's pretty obvious haha - Regnant was probably a testing ground to see if large-sized items will be well-received. But what about Gaddess and the booster? o_O A visitor to the blog was pretty bummed that Gaddess was a limited item. ):

GFFN Strike Rouge is in it too. *_* The colour looks so muted it's almost white.

Er. I want to make gunpla, and I want to get gunpla, but at the same time, I don't want to spend money. ._o MG Unicorn? Gaddess and O Gundam? Reborns?

And polishing compounds and sanding paper...?

*kicks everything aside and does Law notes instead*

EDIT:
Ebay.com.sg has Unicorn for SGD80. Hrm, I'm not sure what I think of that. +_+ And there's no Gaddess yet lmao.

EDIT:
gjdslk Chuu showed me this. O_O

We're starting to run out of money too, but there's so much gunpla I want to buy. I mean, look (http://community.livejournal.com/cardichan/3472.html#cutid1). There are also a lot of artbooks, official files, etc., figures, stands...Uuugh.

I guess Bandai doesn't want to risk. Although the kits sale like whoa, there are still a lot of boxes left on the shelves. Having limited items basically ensures them that everything will sell. Look at the changing parts for the RD R2. They even made a second promotion because it was successful.


Why am I thinking like a bussinessman.

*sees this Alvaaron (Core of Alvatore)*
And I feel your pain. T.T There're still a bunch of stuff I'm sort of aiming for, but. Ohhh money. I still want at least one more MG kit to build. MG kits are fun.

And I can understand that - that was the first thing I thought of when Regnant was announced to be a limited item. I'm just wondering how they decide that Gaddess should be a limited item while other RDs, like its fellow GNZ suits or Alvaaron for example, are released as normal items. Online surveys...? Citing an example, apparently Pokemon Centre decides what Pokedolls to release by checking online for Pokemon online fansites and fanclubs to see which Pokemon are popular. So, I guess it's not impossible that RD might work the same way.

Bawwww
I think the only MGs I'd buy would be Nadleeh, Seraphim, Re-bons, Gerbera Tetra or Garazzo. I don't think any of these suits is ever getting a MG though, lmao.

The Gaddess...No idea. Perhaps better quality? Popularity? And they probably don't want to make the booster unit a MP item because, really, I doubt many people would buy it. There was a survey regarding some RD at some moment in time, so I guess it applies here too. Although it's still weird.

A MG Virtue+Nadleeh or Seravee+Seraphim would be something to see. xD And this also reminds me that 1/100 Virtue is one of my wants too. Sigh.

Yeah, that's a good point about the booster. And haha, I thought of the possibility of poor Anew being less popular than the other Innovados. Or maybe they think people won't be interested in buying mechs that only appear in one episode. I don't know either. I remember that RD survey. I think someone on 4chan actually tried translating the questions lmao. XD

D-d-d-d-d-don't make me cry. It may never happen...And I may not have money anyway, haha.

Actually, Anew is the most popular Innovaoid (the official site says Innovade, wtf) after Tieria, at least according to a 00 Gundam Ace poll. Well, they did make HG kits for Ali's red Enact, Patrick's Enact, Susanowo, so I'm not surprised. Exia R2 and 0 Gundam don't count, since the first one is the show's star and the second is old men's nostalgia.

Don't say never! It'd probably take...years...

Japanese fandom works in an opposite way from the English fandom lmao. Gaddess got a HG kit too, though. Gunpla has a more stable customer base than RD. xD

w00t they're still releasing C.E. stuff! XD I thought they'd forgotten about SEED with the everything being 00 I wonder how long they can ride this wave before having to make a new Gundam series XD

but yeah, Robot Damashii's are cool, but I prefer Gunpla. I may not have the skillz to make it all nice and pretty like the pros, but putting it together is half the fun :D (and each one is special, awwww XD)

Are you finished all the Gunpla you have? Including MG Exia? (decided how to display it yet) If not, you're not allowed to get more! and because you'd have to save your spending limit towards PG 00 XD

Unicorn looks weird... that horn thing looks rather protrusive and inconvenient and reminds me of an EVA DX...

They seem to occasionally release C.E stuff XD I'm pretty sure GFFN Strike was released pretty recently too.

Agree on the fun being in assembly!! I feel more accomplished looking at something I built by myself rather than a completed figure. XD

I haven't started on anything since Drei, so I actually still have 3 more kits left! xD"; But yeah, PG 00 is partly the reason why I'm reluctant to spend on other kits. 9___9";;

XDDD I thought the same about Unicorn resembling EVA too!! Destroy Mode looks pretty cool though, with the blinding red psycoframe.
