Finally, hopefully the Ex-S Plan304 and Zeta Plus C1 Hummingbird isn't far behind...Although the EX-S deserves a revision if Bandai is going to have a lot of demand for Sentinel MS...
That's like some people say about MG Strike and Hi-Nu. When they say Strike and Hi-Nu didn't need revision because the previous one is good, then BAM! they announced MG Strike RM and MG Hi-Nu Ver. Ka.. What I wan't to say, if Bandai want it, they can revise Ex-S, maybe with tech from MG Zeta 2.0. or release the revision with Ver. Ka. brand. Bandai's movement is unpredictable.
Sorry, I had to delete my last comment. The base unit of this kit is the S Gundam, not the Ex-S. My bad.
You're right, Bandai is unpredictable, but I don't think the S or the Ex-S will get a 2.0. They're nowhere as iconic as other kits that have received 2.0 versions. Never say never, though.
That being said, I'm picking this one up. The people who can't afford it will make excuses to not get it, including the high starting price, the P-Bandai mark up, the fact that it's based off an old kit... It's much easier for American consumers to bash a product than to admit their own poverty.
The only problem with P-Bandai is it's Japanese-only service. We outside Japan still can get it, but need extra requirement like middleman which make seller must include extra fee. As for price, most of P-Bandai's item have average price just like it standard counterparts except for some kits. Well if P-Bandai service is opened worldwide, people will not bash it or maybe go hype for some items.
At last, if you can afford it with unavoidable extra fee because it's not sellers fault to begin with, pick it. If not just leave it. Just like my HGUC GM Sniper II WD, I pick it because I want. Extra fee is not a problem, consider it as service payment for the seller or thanks for help us get limited kit that we want.
I agree. I personally love P-Bandai products. There's this awesome feeling whenever I obtain anything rare. I've already stopped picking up most regular releases so I can save my money for limited releases.
I guess I still don't understand why people hate on P-Bandai stuff so much. I mean, I see the entire concept as a challenge for me to be more efficient with my budget.

ReplyDeleteso much agree with you
DeleteBut, Deep Striker is so big, especially it's Argama cannon. It'll be very costly because of that.
ReplyDeleteI would get GFFMC hummingbird online over MG hummingbird if they do release an online exclusive, the price tag would be way too close MC is superior.
