  2. I'll stick to my MG. Although, anyone think they could be used for the Turn A as it's Moonlight Butterfly effect?

  3. I have the normal MG version which does not come with wing parts, and personally, I am fine with it.

  5. When the RG Destiny was announced and it didn't have the effect pieces, I knew that Bandai was going to do this.
    Damn.

    If Bandai plans on doing an "HD Ver." release of the MG Destiny, I really hope they don't pull this kind of BS.

    1. Calling it now, Real Greade Destiny Extreme Blast Mode. At least the wings look beautiful

    2. Die in a fire Suiton, don't expect Bandai or anyone else to cater to your whim.

    3. I don't think they will, the standard and extreme blast mode are the same frame. Proportions are spot on, so what would they change? Besides colors I mean.

  6. I think it looks like a recolor of the HG's Wings of Light, especially seeing how so far there's only two kind of limited for RG (recolor [Rouge, Phase Shift Downs, Zeta Karaba] & HG + Decals [IWSP, Meteor, G-Defensor & Flying Armor]).

    1. Rg's Destiny Wings and its effect parts are bigger than Hg.

      HG Destiny wing is stubbed just like Hg Freedom and strike freedom.

  10. This could come with RG Destiny. But this look like add-on. That's just waste.

  11. And this is why I won't be buying the kit. Would I like to? Yes. Will I? No. Why? Because I don't see this as a complete Destiny without the Wing effect part, and I also don't see why I should have to pay extra (extra extra since I don't live in Japan) to get two pieces of plastic that even the HIGH GRADE of all damn things comes with. And unfortunately, those do not look like the same parts as the high grades wings.

    So, no Destiny real grade for me. I remember tha days when Bandai actually made kits special, rather than whored them out for every last dollar. That kind of business simply hurts the product. I'd have had this pre-ordered months ago if they had just included the damn wings to complete the whole reason this thing looks striking. But no, they had to be cheap and skimp out on two pieces of plastic, so I'll stick with the master grade and high grade, both of which come with it.

    For a so-called definitive grade this sure is a dumb move.

    1. Well you can't blame Bandai for trying to milk one of their most popular suits. Destiny prints money so I'm pretty sure this scheme of theirs is working.

  13. Oh crap, they're gonna make the Full Vernian parts for the RG GP01 another web exclusive, aren't they?

    1. I've been thinking the same thing too. Or in the worst scenario, they gonna make [RG] "Stamen" as P-Bandai release.
