I knew it! I knew this was going to happen! As annoyed as I am, I might consider buying this guy later down the line. Money is tight so I'm trying to cut back on GunPla purchasing to a minimum.
Anyway, with that aside, now I'm pretty convinced that Bandai is gonna do the rest of the Wing guys will be P-Bandai (Heavyarms Custom, Sandrock Custom, Nataku), and maybe if we're lucky they might remaster the MG Wing EW and MG Wing Zero EW and base it off of the MG Wing Proto Zero and make those P-Bandai as well.
Damn Bandai. Our wallets are doomed!! =D But it's Wing...It's the series that got us all hooked on Gundam in the first place.
What do want a fucking cookie suiton? Majority of the gunpla community saw this coming. Hell next year will probably be the year of gundam wing since its the 20 anniversary. We'll probably see more p bandai wing kits next year.
Ok...now that's a dick move Bandai! Making one of the best MS in the After Colony Era after the Deathscythe Hell EW and Wing Zero EW is seriously a bad move!
This is actually a very disturbing fact. With this being a P-Bandai exclusive, I don't see Vayeate and Mercurius being a regular release. EVER... (finger crossed hoping its not true) :-{
Tallgeese III is after all a remold of Tallgeese. Vayeate or Mercurius are a bit different; either one will be regular release and the other might be P-Bandai. Just a guess.
Look, a few years ago Bandai wouldn't have EVER released kits like Vayeate or Mercurius because they were afraid kits like that wouldn't sell well, and weren't worth the risk of a full release. Now they have a business model where they can make a limited run of kits like this without the risk. Exclusives that sell well (like the Astray Red Frame I assume) get re-issued because they can make money on it. In the future, who knows, maybe they will see that their exclusives do well over seas and will move to make them not a "Japan only" thing. Until then I'm more than happy to pay a little extra for a kit that probably wasn't ever going to happen otherwise.
BUT OF COURSE THE YEAR OF P-BANDAI HAD TO END WITH ANOTHER STUPID DECISION OF BANDAI TO PISS US MORE GEEZ I really don't know if these premium kits sell like bread in japan, but damn 2014 can be called the year of p-bandai with good reasons, sadly regardless I'm going to buy this kit and I'm going to enjoy it, but geez hope 2015 isn't like this with online exclusives, I mean the won't disappear that's a fact, but keep it at a level that we still get new kits, even re-molds...
Just like the red frame, this I assume is what everyone wants, and Bandai knows it. It's like "hehehe, let's make the stuff people wants more expensive and hard to get, but they'll still want it. That way we can get rich in no time!"
I mean, look at what happen to the mg banshee norn. It's Bandai's greed getting somewhat out of control.
Already have it...x3 And I paid $50 with shipping for it lol. Dragon Momoko really did an amazing job on theirs. Will keep on eye on this and maybe check it out when it arrives at my sisters Gunplay Store when I visit her in NY. :D
I'm more than happy for this release, make no mistake, but... the fact that this is a P-Bandai while stuff like the Phenex or the upcoming Astray Blue Frame are getting standard releases feels like a bad joke. =/
Hopefully next year will be better than this, for the MG line at least.
Is there a way we can start a petition against Bandai to not release long awaited kits such as this as P-Bandai or to have Bluefin distribute P-Bandai products?
Hmmm well I called it looks like bandai is using the old 1/100HG parts instead of a new mold. That's why its a p bandai kit. You did see that coming Suiton.
Bwahahaha! What is this?! Your killing me Bandai, stop it.
But seriously, I wasn't really surprise about this news since they made TG-2 P-Bandai, I suspected that TG-3 will be P-Bandai as well and, oop, there it is!
Thanks godness I already got the Dragon Momoko version for only 50 dollars, and seems to look a lot better than this. I will be glad to see comparisons when this releases.
just shut up and take my money...i am sooo going to buy this along with the RG wing zero EW and the rest of the EW wing gundam line, oh i just can't wait...plus i think its to commemorate wing gundam with this launch??
Wtf is wrong with you bandai dick! but anyway i'm gonna fuckin buy it! remind me about the sazabi last year, bandai try to launch fucking awesome kit at the end of the year with expensive fucking price! hope the kit is as good as the price.
One xclusive bandai Tallgeese III can buy almost all three dragon momoko's tallgeeses with xtra weapons n beam effect include... need to think wisely... shitt happens anyway...
love seeing bootleg lovers rage on this lol. this is what you get for buying bootlegs you dicks. I think making it an exclusive is a smack to the face at the bootleg "MG" TG3. because y'all love that bootleg so much bandai didn't release it normally because if they do - it will always be compared to that piece of shit and of course bandai did not want that. making it an exclusive adds value to the kit therefore placing the bootleg way below its level. oh and notice the box is colored is it just me or they really planned this to be a normal release. hmm.. but then DM made a dick move and bootleg lovers rejoiced. way to go ruining the hobby for us. yeah buy more bootlegs so more must have kits will be released as an online exclusive. we rich people don't care becoz we got the moolah.
Funny because seeing them make this an exclusive is making me want to buy the Momoko one out of spite all because they made it exclusive, first banshee norn now tallgeese III. I mean come on they had enough time to re-use all those Exia frames and even had the f91 Harrison colors as normal releases when they can just slap on the exclusive tag, but they can't bother with the main mechs and several others that deserve normal releases like the Crossbone x-2. So i've had it with their online exclusive game and will now buy the third party out of spite, i am not paying that hefty shipping price all online exclusives are known for.
Dragon Momoko (Bootlegger) created the same exact design (and more gimmicks) a year ahead than p-bandai. So it seems as if it was bandai copied the bootleg gundam. It was banda I who made a dick move by placing a steep price tag on a gunpla already released by the competition. Do your research from time to time mate.
I don't think that Bandai intentionally made an official version of MG Tallgeese 3 a P-Bandai. Gundam Wing was never as popular as it was in like the US.
I was kinda expecting that the MG Tallgeese 3 would end up being P-Bandai anyway.
And you don't have to be rich to be able to purchase P-Bandai releases. You just have to know how to shop smart.
Some of us hobbyist go with the best of what there is to offer. Bandai had more time than anyone to have release T3 way before DM released their T3. DM decided to please fans who wanted a T3 and they did and also included effect parts with the energy effect for the beam launcher and the clear orange heat rod parts for added bonus for what I consider to be a good price. Bandai on the other hand decided to just throw in T3 with 0 bonus accessories and on top of that all they did was have a new head sculpt. So don't come here insulting hobbyists just because they selected the better option at the time. And in response to your "we rich people don't care becoz we got the moolah"...nobody cares.
this is a wonderful reason to support bootleggers. convenience, better accessories and effects, better value, getting the model early and being able to enjoy working on it. Gone are the days when bootlegs were of lesser quality. Bootleggers are competition and competition is capitalism. Bandai monopoly commies BTFO.
Glad I'm not the only one that piss about this premium bullshit even if we all send them a message bandai like any other Japanese company doesn't listen or give a dam about their fan base outside of Japan I wish there a way.
well, this was unexpected...
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY?! i really don't like you right now bandai...
ReplyDeleteHere we go again ... P-Bandai :I
ReplyDeleteOoo this is a kick in the nuts eh?
ReplyDeleteWell I think I found my final kit.
yeah so final lol
DeleteWell I am not suprise at all. Maniacs are still maniacs
ReplyDeletewhat.the.fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand Bandai is making a fuss and wondering why people buy bootlegs?
Amen to that one bro
Deletepremium bullshit!
DeleteBandai isn't it too late to release this thing because a knock off was released in 2013.
ReplyDeleteGod. Fucking. Dammit.
ReplyDeleteone word...
ReplyDelete..
..
..FUCK
Stupid
ReplyDeleteOf course it's an exclusive. Surprise surprise Bandai.
ReplyDeleteI knew it!
ReplyDeleteI knew this was going to happen!
As annoyed as I am, I might consider buying this guy later down the line. Money is tight so I'm trying to cut back on GunPla purchasing to a minimum.

Damn Bandai. Our wallets are doomed!! =D
But it's Wing...It's the series that got us all hooked on Gundam in the first place.
Shut up, Meg.
Delete^^lol
DeleteWhat do want a fucking cookie suiton? Majority of the gunpla community saw this coming. Hell next year will probably be the year of gundam wing since its the 20 anniversary. We'll probably see more p bandai wing kits next year.
yay, suiton is back with his wishlists!! Welcome back, suiton, nobody missed you!
DeleteI don't really check the comments much, but why does everyone hate on Suiton? Just wondering.
DeleteI think Suiton is from Indonesia, since he said that Wing is the series that got us all hooked on Gundam in the first place.
DeleteYea yea whatever u say suiton. Go rant on bandai official website if u are that upset
DeleteOf course it's a web exclusive...Instead of just ya know simple bloody conversion kit
ReplyDeleteFucking exclusives seriously
ReplyDeleteFUCKING KNEW IT....dammit Bandai
ReplyDeleteFuck you Bandai.
ReplyDeleteThose C U N T S!!!!! They knew a crapload of us wanted this. Fine I'll play your game sir!
ReplyDeleteI am so fucking angry right now.
ReplyDeleteWTF!!!
ReplyDeleteYessssssssss. Day one preorder.
ReplyDeleteFuck it bandai, its should be released as normal. I dont want pay 2x higher of normal price cause you slap exclusive into it
ReplyDeleteOk...now that's a dick move Bandai! Making one of the best MS in the After Colony Era after the Deathscythe Hell EW and Wing Zero EW is seriously a bad move!
ReplyDeleteGODDAMMIT!!!
ReplyDeleteSo Bandai decided to go for wing series for the next release... i'm SOOO WANTING THIS !!! >.<
ReplyDeleteI see how it is bandai....
ReplyDeleteThe fact that it's exclusive doesn't really bother me. I'm gonna buy it regardless.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a very disturbing fact. With this being a P-Bandai exclusive, I don't see Vayeate and Mercurius being a regular release. EVER... (finger crossed hoping its not true) :-{

DeleteTake my money!!! I don't care!!!
ReplyDeletegoddammit bandai :(
ReplyDeletedamn.....another burden for our wallets
ReplyDeleteBUT OF COURSE THE YEAR OF P-BANDAI HAD TO END WITH ANOTHER STUPID DECISION OF BANDAI TO PISS US MORE
ReplyDeleteGEEZ I really don't know if these premium kits sell like bread in japan, but damn 2014 can be called the year of p-bandai with good reasons, sadly regardless I'm going to buy this kit and I'm going to enjoy it, but geez hope 2015 isn't like this with online exclusives, I mean the won't disappear that's a fact, but keep it at a level that we still get new kits, even re-molds...
4800yen for a p-online exclusive, not all that bad. Just a few dollars more than the mg tallgeese 1
ReplyDeleteJust gotta bear with it^^
Yeah, double that for customers in the US. We'll be paying around 80-100 dollars for it.
DeleteJust like the red frame, this I assume is what everyone wants, and Bandai knows it. It's like "hehehe, let's make the stuff people wants more expensive and hard to get, but they'll still want it. That way we can get rich in no time!"
ReplyDeleteI mean, look at what happen to the mg banshee norn. It's Bandai's greed getting somewhat out of control.
It's called capitalism. Look into it.
DeleteThe hell is with this snide attitude? He's just voicing an opinion, Jesus Christ on a Whole Wheat Bun!
DeleteWhatever. It's worth than that tallgeese II
ReplyDeleteAlready have it...x3 And I paid $50 with shipping for it lol. Dragon Momoko really did an amazing job on theirs. Will keep on eye on this and maybe check it out when it arrives at my sisters Gunplay Store when I visit her in NY. :D
ReplyDeletewell time to buy the bootleg
ReplyDeleteI'm more than happy for this release, make no mistake, but... the fact that this is a P-Bandai while stuff like the Phenex or the upcoming Astray Blue Frame are getting standard releases feels like a bad joke. =/
ReplyDeleteHopefully next year will be better than this, for the MG line at least.
Is there a way we can start a petition against Bandai to not release long awaited kits such as this as P-Bandai or to have Bluefin distribute P-Bandai products?
ReplyDeleteDamn... I waiting for so long ady... FINALLY~~~
ReplyDeleteHmmm well I called it looks like bandai is using the old 1/100HG parts instead of a new mold. That's why its a p bandai kit. You did see that coming Suiton.
ReplyDeleteits nice to know bandai hates foreign gunpla builders... seriously, fuck you bandai.
ReplyDeleteThis will probably be my only Exclusive purchase unless they release something obscure like the Delta Kai or X Divider.
ReplyDeleteFucking Christ, is there, like, any way we can appeal to Bandai to put an end to this Online Exclusive madness?
ReplyDeleteSupport this motion 110%. Seriously Bandai, stop with exclusives. No fans ever like the exclusives tag anyway.
DeleteBwahahaha! What is this?! Your killing me Bandai, stop it.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I wasn't really surprise about this news since they made TG-2 P-Bandai, I suspected that TG-3 will be P-Bandai as well and, oop, there it is!
as usual, P you Bandai.
ReplyDeleteThat front booster thing...
ReplyDeleteThanks godness I already got the Dragon Momoko version for only 50 dollars, and seems to look a lot better than this. I will be glad to see comparisons when this releases.

DeleteI don't support bootlegs but DM did a much better T3 than Bandai in my opinion.
DeleteThe price isn't that far off from the other 1/100 MG Tallgeese. The only thing that sucks is it being exclusive.
ReplyDeleteI hate you right now Bandai but this thing is very tempting.
ReplyDeletebootlegseption............
Deletewow, i dont know if bandai made a botleg from botleg
ReplyDeleteWas trying to hold myself back so hard but i finally gave in today.
ReplyDeleteI got it pre-ordered from gg...
I could've bought 3 kits for the price I paid.
congrats...most retailers are out of it, even pre ordering...i had to spend hours to find the II and the III kits, but I did it.
DeleteLet's see:
ReplyDelete-Mega Cannon Effect part? Check

SHAME ON YOU,BANDAI!
I don't know what to say.. FUCK IT!!! no more three times meals/day!! HELLO TALLGEESE III
ReplyDeleteGlad it's an exclusive. It's gonna be worth more later on and hard to find
ReplyDeleteLet's see how long til they reuse the Tallgeese MG mold and do P-Bandai releases for Mercurius and Vayate...
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one that piss about this premium bullshit even if we all send them a message bandai like any other Japanese company doesn't listen or give a dam about their fan base outside of Japan I wish there a way.
ReplyDeleteAmazing article. I am so impressed.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for something like this…I found it quiet interesting, hopefully you will keep posting such blogs….
