Bandai Spirits has announced another major wave of GunPla price revisions, this time affecting a huge lineup of general retail kits along with several Gundam Base and event exclusive releases.
A large portion of the affected items comes from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series, including many classic HG 1/144 releases that longtime fans probably remember picking up for much cheaper years ago. Kits such as the HG Gundam Astray Red Frame, Duel Gundam Assault Shroud, Blitz Gundam, and Aegis Gundam are all jumping from 1,320 yen to 1,650 yen, marking a 25% increase across the board.
Some kits are being hit even harder. The HG 1/144 Buster Gundam, Mobile Ginn, Zaku Warrior, and Zaku Warrior (Live Concert Version) now carry a 30% increase, while the HG 1/144 Perfect Strike Gundam climbs nearly 30% as well.
The Gundam SEED Destiny lineup was not spared either. Chaos Gundam, Gaia Gundam, Abyss Gundam, Dom Trooper, and several Zaku variants now rise to 2,090 yen after major price bumps.
Meanwhile, Gundam X is taking a heavy hit on its 30th anniversary this year. The classic 1/100 Gundam Double X and Gundam Virsago now jump to 2,530 yen, while the 1/100 Gundam Airmaster Burst and Leopard Destroy received some of the highest increases in the entire list at 33.3%. Even the fan favorite G-Falcon Unit Gundam Double X now crosses the 4,000 yen mark.
Several HGUC releases from Gundam Unicorn and other Universal Century series are also included in the revision wave. The HGUC Jesta, Geara Zulu (Royal Guard Type), Byarlant Custom, and Kshatriya Rebeard all received notable increases, with the massive Kshatriya Rebeard now reaching over 8,000 yen.
Master Grade kits were affected as well, including the MG Strike Gundam + IWSP, MG Strike Noir Gundam, and MG Launcher/Sword Strike Gundam.
On the limited release side, Gundam Base and event exclusive items also saw substantial jumps. The RG Gundam Base Limited Sinanju [Metallic Gloss Injection] now rises by 1,100 yen, while the RG Crossbone Gundam X1 [Titanium Finish] received one of the biggest increases overall at +1,210 yen.
Price increases across GunPla have become increasingly common over the past few years, but this latest revision wave especially stings because it heavily targets older retail kits that many fans considered affordable entry points into the hobby. For newer builders, these changes may simply become the new normal, but longtime collectors will definitely notice how much these classic releases have climbed in price.
