  3. Looks like RG Infinite Justice will be the 19th Real Grade Series After RG Virtue/RG Dynames

    ReplyDelete
  4. 1/35 Perfect Jumbo Grade please. That huge HG Zeong kit is just to test the waters for larger kits! 35 scale for 35th anniversary!

    I'll be there on Sunday! Gonna hang out with some chaps from a local model club that's showing in the show room for a bit.

  5. So are we really going to see MG Gundam Wing Fenice and MG Gundam X Maoh now?

    1. Good guess, I think those are safe bets for this year, definitely.

    2. An MG for Wing Fenice and X Maoh would be sweet!

      Delete
    3. yes Please! Gundam X Maoh would be great !!
      and I think Fenice Rinascita would be Premium Bandai Exclusive ...

  6. I have high expectations on being disappointed!

  7. I have very high hopes. The Shizuoka Hobby Show is the once a year chance for Bandai really get us GunPla fans excited for announcements.

    I am expecting/assuming that we will be seeing some announcements for Build Fighter and more of the Unicorn stuff. I'm sure that the HG Neo Zeong will be displayed since it's really being advertised a lot in Japan lately.

    But what would be interesting is if we got to see a RG for the Aegis. It would be exciting to see if Bandai could pull that one off, but I feel like it's likely to be a parts-former.... But then again, they did manage to do the Zeta in RG so I guess we could be hopeful.

    RG Infinite Justice would be a no brainer since it'd be relatively similar to the existing RG Justice that we have, and of course you know Premium Bandai will probably push for some more Deactive Mode variations.

    What I think would be a huge surprise is if they actually push out the rest of the MGs from Age. We did get prototypes for the Age-3 Normal and Age-FX so I guess there could be a slim chance, even if a lot of people didn't like it that much. I didn't like the anime that much, but I still think the designs are unique enough.

    A huge surprise for me would be if they did the MG Exia Roll Out and MG Exia Repair 3 as Premium exclusives. I think like 2009 or 2010 we saw a prototype of the MG Exia Roll Out Type... I could be mistaken.

    After the RG Z'Gok, I am thinking we're gonna get more from 00 or jump back to Seed/Seed Destiny.

    If Bandai wants to do a PG, I hope it'd be the PG Exia would be a nice surprise, and a relatively simple build.

    I guess with a convention show like this, with millions of people around the world constantly checking sites for new info, videos, and pictures, Bandai must be pressured to surprising us and making us fans happy. I guess even though we can speculate on things, we can't really be sure since Bandai tends to do weird things quite often.

    It's pretty crazy that there's only 17 more days til the information starts to flood the Internet, and make us all cry because of how broke we're going to be.

    Oh and the December MB for this year... I hope it's like MG Nightingale or like MG Hi Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. That would be freakin epic...

    1. Now you're going to spam PG Exia -_-

      Delete
    2. Wow, so basically this is just your usual wishlist of crap disguised as thoughtful speculation. Way to go, suiton, you never fail to amaze us with your stupidity. At least your not posting the same thing over and over again under different fake usernames so it lends credibility to your ridiculous tripe, so I guess that's good?

      You are so sad...

  8. Or possibly mg nataku or tallgeese 3

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oh... Hm. That I would be cool with. If they can finish off the MG "Endless Waltz" series with Nataku, Tallgeese 3, Heavyarms Custom (probably exclusive), Sandrock Custom (probably exclusive) and maybe a Wing EW 2.0 and Wing Zero EW 2.0 (call those 2 like HD Version or something since the BluRay came out for Wing)... That would be awesome.

      Delete
    2. Gundam W/EW: TV version fitted to 16:9 in a resolution of 960x720,same effects and artstyle,nothing surprising :/

      Delete
  9. PG Neo Zeong Please?!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. If they and most people in general are saying that even an MG Neo Zeong is not likely at all, what makes you think that Bandai would put even more risk and make a PG of it? PGs don't come out very often and it's not nearly as popular as SD, RG, MG, and HG.

      So to give you an idea, an MG of the Neo Zeong has like a 5% chance of being considered....considered. A PG? Probably less than 0.001% chance of even being considered.

      If we are getting another PG, I would guess it could be like Exia, Freedom, 00 Qan[t], Build Strike Full Package, or maybe like Wing Gundam EW.... My guess is leaning more towards Exia or Freedom to be honest.

      Delete
    2. Would that be in a bid to resuscitate the Japanese economy?

      Delete
    3. Oh wow. I usually don't understand the hate this Suiton character gets but after seeing his reply to a comment clearly made in jest... wow. Just how clueless can one be?

      Delete
    4. Way to criticize somebody's own wishlist, suiton. And you got offended if somebody criticize or makes fun of your own wishlist, hypocrite...

  10. I am expecting to see MG char zaku II ver. 3.0 with the rx-78 having a 3.0 and all..

    I am not expecting any PG other than possible recolors...

    as for RG maybe they wont show the one following the z'gok.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. MG Char Zaku 2 ver. 3.0 wouldn't be too surprising since we have the RX-78-2... Maybe MG Hi Nu Gundam Ver. Ka could get announced?

      I am thinking after Z'Gok, the next RG would be something from 00 or Seed/Destiny...

      Delete
  11. I would love to see a MG V2 Gundam. That is highly unlikely as it has been a number of years since the MG V Gundam came out, but here's hoping!

    And... a MG Sumo. I really dig all of the Syd Mead designs from Turn A and the upcoming release of the MG Turn X has reignited that long-simmering sense of hope I felt when the MG Turn A was released.

    Regardless, I trust Bandai's ability to extract money from me, so they will not disappoint,

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. If Bandai was going to do more from the Victory series, then I would probably want them to do an updated release for V and V Dash first since from what I hear about the existing Ver. Ka MG release, they're quite sucky...

      Delete
    2. No need for another updated release, just an MG V2 is enough to make Victory's comeback in the Master Grade line.

      Delete
    3. That makes sense.
      But imagine if Bandai went on a campaign of the Victory Gundam MGs and "Anime Ver" variants. The Ver. Ka ones are great and all from what I've read/saw in videos... But Victory has an anime so I think it should get some more modernized MGs...even more so since they did release semi-recently those HGs.

      I don't like the Victory designs myself, but I know that fans do like it, and like Gundam X, it deserves updated MGs (or with X's case...MG period..LOL)

      Besides, Bandai could just release MG Victory Gundam (Anime Ver), and then do an exclusive for the V-Dash variant, and release the V2 in MG...we know Bandai loves exclusives...LOL

      Delete
    4. Just an MG V2 Assault Buster is enough. And don't even think about that " Bandai should release a MG V2, then the Assault Buster parts as exclusives" or something like that. Remember when MG 00 Raiser is released, it obviously has the 0 Raiser, GN Sword III and the condensers.

      Delete
    5. You don't like Victory's but you feel the should up date a Kit that you never had any person experience with. Yep the sounds like the idea of a complete moron that spends too much time on tge internet. Oh yes bandai let's was time retool a perfectly good Kit instead of making a completely new Kit that the fans have been wanting for years. If they made a anime version of the Mg Victory IT SHOULD ONLY BE A BANDAI PREMIUM KIT. otherwise it's a waste and insult too the fans too re-release a color variant of it as a standard release instead of the V2. Why don't you go and lick some more of the short bus windows suiton.

  12. I will not die happy until MG Kshatriya is released, nor will I be silenced.

    MG Kshatriya, Bandai, MAKE IT.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Your enthusiasm is quite admirable; much like my desire for MG Exia Repair 2 all those years...yea years...ago. Thought to be quite honest, the MG Exia Repair 2 at least had a chance since there was a MG Exia. A MG Kshatriya would be awesome, but it would probably require diecast metal parts and whatnot to support those huge wings. Basically, the odds of a MG Kshatriya are as good as a MG Dendrobium and MG Neo Zeon....pretty much zero.

      Delete
    2. At least his comment makes more sense even though the odds are currently low, unlike you who makes a wishlist of variations with not much major differences to the original, and once some MS from your wishlist are announced for a release, you make another wishlist and shove your old and new list to our throats. -_-

      Delete
    3. The MG Kshatriya has a better chance than you moronic post about wanting too see a MG Nightingale.
      The Kshatriya
      1. is no where close too the size of a MG Dendrobium or a MG (Neo Zeong) Not neo Zeon.
      2. Has a huge following of people that want it as a MG kit.
      3. Bandai sued Eyln over their Kshatriya kit.
      4. Eyln proved it is possible too design and build a MG style Kshatriya that could support the binders and bandai's hg Neo Zeong Also proves that It's possible too design and build a heavy kit with joints that can support the weight. which was the reason why Bandai claim they couldn't build a MG Kshatriya in the first place because they claimed it would be too heavy.
      Stop acting like you know what your talking about.

    4. >Says he wants MG nightingale
      >says MG kshatriya is impossible cuz it's too big

      Hurray for hipocrisy and double standarts!

    1. That would be epic. But...I kinda think that like a PG Unicorn...it's gonna be unlikely I think. Exia or Freedom might be better candidates.

      Delete
    2. For someone who is pretending to be a new UC fan because he bought some UC MGs, I find your lack of faith disturbing, a PG Nu Gundam will be a very interesting since its been a long time since a PG for a UC suit has been made. Yup, another AU suits such as Exia or Freedom are also good choices but you only claim that those are better candidates because those are your personal choices. You keep bragging that your wishlist is the best, you arrogant prick.

      Delete
    3. Give a reason, suiton, why Exia or Freedom are better candidates for PG than Unicorn or Nu. Give a valid reason.

      Delete
  14. the pg i guess is a main gundam in gundam reconguista in g,why because they need to promote it,i hope they never put that rubber polycap in that pg just abs joints like unicorn mg, maybe that gundam has 3 mode like strike gundam

    ReplyDelete
  15. MG Hi Nu vek Ka, MG Char's Zaku v 3.0, MG Freedom Remaster. Any one of them make the list I'll be happy enough

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. MG Zaku 2 Commander Type (Char) ver. 3.0 is super likely IMO since we have the 3.0 for MG RX-78-2 and we know that the Zaku 2 and RX-78-2 are staples across all grades.

      MG Hi Nu Ver. Ka would be freakin awesome. We'll have to see since if we get that, maybe we might get a MG for Nightingale? I know tons of people have wanted that.

      MG Freedom RM Ver. (along w/ MG Justice)....YES x9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... Is how I'd feel.

  16. MG Sazibi Ver Ka Titanium Finish?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Surprised that hasn't been done.
      But can you imagine the price... >_<

      Delete
    2. Because a year hasn't passed since the sazibi was released. That's why I has been done yet moron. The Nu ver ka titanium was released a year after the original release of the Nu ver ka. So the chance if a titanium sazibi being announced is very high.

      Delete
  17. What i'g gonna say has nothing to do with this but I need to tell this...
    MC Models announced the xi gundam in 1/144 scale!.
    so happy that my life is complete YAAAAAAY!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Gundam Fenice Rinascita would make for a horrible MG. The skirt and knee armor would make it impossible to pose.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Real Grade Wing Gundam Zero Custom please...
    I'm a tremendously big fan of Gundam Wing...

  20. Hi, what is the difference between Business/Trader Dates and the Public Dates ? Do you need to buy tickets for the Business/Trader Dates or is it also free ?
