What the—!? Are they seriously gonna release it under retail?! Dammit!! And now I'm scratching my head because I already build the regular one not so long ago!
I kind of think that Bandai does these(this and XN Raiser) now to sell the extra prints they have in a addition to the new parts. I wouldn't say that the 00 series MG's are not selling, but as a fan, I really hope for MG's of the other pilots after this one. Even as a P-Bandai.
If it's anything like kits we have seen in the past, this being a parts variant of the original release probably means the GN Sword V will be included, though the instructions may skip it.
Bandai's logic: let's release the full saber add-on as a new kit without the original's gn sword iv thus 00 die-hard fans will buy both qant kits, and we'll get more money.
Bandai's Brand Changes By Curibo•16 Jul, 2018•0 Comments
Starting this April 1st, Bandai's high-end products, particularly model kits and figures, as well as Banpresto's convenience store products are all under the Bandai Spirits brand. Bandai Spirits also will sport the same logo design as the original Bandai logo but only blue. This is part of Bandai Namco Group's 3-year plan starting April 2018 under the motto CHANGE for the NEXT 挑戦・成長・進化 (Challenge, Growth, Evolution)
The specific products that will be part of Bandai Spirits are as follows:
B TRAIN SHORTY(train models) Gunpla(Gundam Plastic Model Kits) TAMASHII NATIONS - S.H. Figuarts - Chogokin Series - ROBOT Tamashii - SAINT CLOTH MYTH(Saint Seiya Figures) Banpresto Ichiban Kuji (notable lineup such as WCF collectible figures)
Bandai is separating their product line. Blue Bandai logos on products means that is part of the Bandai Spirits line meaning model kits and more mature products. This is very recent only being announced a few months ago and this kit seems to be the first with the new logo. Still not used to it...

Gundam NT Trailer
SYNOPSIS
As described by Gundam.info
U.C. 0097, one year after the opening of "Laplace's Box." Despite the revelation of the Universal Century Charter that acknowledges the existence and rights of Newtypes, the framework of the world has not been greatly altered.
The conflict later dubbed the "Laplace Incident" is thought to have ended with the downfall of the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves. In its final battle, two full psycho-frame mobile suits displayed power beyond human understanding. The white unicorn and the black lion were sealed away to remove this danger from people's consciousness, and they should now be completely forgotten.
However, the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, which disappeared two years earlier, is now about to show itself in the Earth Sphere once more. A golden phoenix... named Phenex.

ReplyDeleteBit of an odd choice, but it's low cost (for Bandai) and something they can slot in among bigger ticket items.
DeleteI am glad I waited on this one. The Full Saber looks pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI kind of think that Bandai does these(this and XN Raiser) now to sell the extra prints they have in a addition to the new parts. I wouldn't say that the 00 series MG's are not selling, but as a fan, I really hope for MG's of the other pilots after this one. Even as a P-Bandai.
ReplyDeleteIt took 20 years to get MG's of all the Gundam Wing protagonist MS.
DeleteSo who knows? Give it another decade....
Definitely getting it
ReplyDeleteWould've preferred the MG Exia Avalanche honestly.
ReplyDeletethey released that but it's p-bandai
DeleteIts a regular release outside japan
DeleteI'm confused why are they pointing out the V-fin?
ReplyDeleteIt's an upgraded V-fin. Longer and sleeker looking than the original.
DeleteIt is actually a new piece. It looks to be more tapered than the original.
DeleteI didn't build the original version, why is the V fin pointed out?
ReplyDeleteIts a little bit bigger
DeleteWhere is the original saber?
ReplyDeleteIf you mean the GN Sword iv then I don't think you get it based on it missing from all the accesory pics
DeleteI was wondering the same... wtf...
DeleteI doubt the excluded the original model's sword. They probably only wanted to show the main parts.
DeleteIf it's anything like kits we have seen in the past, this being a parts variant of the original release probably means the GN Sword V will be included, though the instructions may skip it.
DeleteIt might still come with it and those pics are just showcasing the new parts who knows
DeleteThe Gunpla's HobbyLink page mentions that the GN Sword V is included,but who knows
DeleteGN Sword V is in the box art though
DeleteBandai's logic: let's release the full saber add-on as a new kit without the original's gn sword iv thus 00 die-hard fans will buy both qant kits, and we'll get more money.
ReplyDeleteYour logic: Me so smart, me think Bandai highlighted everything when it's only the new accessories for the kit instead of all the other stuff.
DeleteSeriously, doesn't take more than two seconds to realize it.

DeleteTo those who complain for buying the original QuanT
ReplyDeleteThe original's FN drive is different from this ine
Basically, you can't make the original QuanT with JUST this kit
So it is'nt a waste of money, you have 2 QuanT but you can have one that actually appears in the freakin movie
You absolutely can build the original Quan[T]. The original drive pieces are still in the kit. And that's fine.
DeleteI hope we get more MG 00, I personally really want a MG of the Raphael
ReplyDeleteYo también. Me gustaría más MG 00. Sería genial también si tuviéramos más RG 00. Gundam 00 es muy sorprendente.
Deletestill waiting for MG zabanya final battle ver
ReplyDeleteConfirmation that this kit is literally everything from the regular Quan[T] and more. Very nice. I can't wait for this kit to come.
ReplyDeleteI knew listening to my gut and not getting the regular exia and quanta was the way to go now I can get the avalanche and the full saber
ReplyDeleteTesting
