I need to see colored photos of the Gundam NT. Other than that I’m probably crazy but I’m not excited for any of these releases unless they drop a PG Sinanju or PG Barbatos Lupus

Stealing from seti88:

[VF-Zer0S]

Wow it’s a bare bones Nu ver Ka

like the inner frame is exposed. Maybe it has some aura eminating from it a la phantom gundam

[Duymon]

Narrative Gundam looks so naked :/

Luckily my wallet is safe as I'm a fan of almost all the stuff from from 0079 <-> Gundam ZZ and anything from Gundam F91 on so any CCA stuff will be skipped.

Will even skip those 1/144 GMs will be skipped since I only collect 1/100

[Sanity is Optional]

Supposedly Gundam NT is a prototype for the Nu.

Who knows? Maybe next to RG Sazabi is RG Re-GZ? Or RG Jagd Doga? The whole nine yards in RG. 

 

RG Jagd Doga! Oh yes pls lets have a birdmech!

Negative. This series is set after CCA. Alex NT on the other hand looks more of a prototype for Nu.

maybe it's a Nu prototype that's been in storage for 4 years?

:edit:

alternatively, maybe it's a Prototype for the G-Saviour

Not helping. Hahaha!

The jegan looks a bit thick in the arms, but not too bad. The Sazabi may tempt me more when it comes out, I’ll wait for reviews although the larger size may benefit the inner frame. Also excited about hg sinanju stein.

that gold plastic looks so bad.

HG 1/144 Grimoire Red Beret [Rommel's Mobile Suit]

This one looks like it came out from Votoms universe. Love it.

Yeah, it looks like Butterfinger filling.

The CCA RGs look swell, the Nu will probably be just as good.

[Big s]

The rg Sazabi kinda reminds me of the illustration in the old mg Sazabi booklet that katoki drew. I like the design seeing as how it fits with the rg look.The only thing bugging me about the look is the color separation. I think the darker red areas should have had an even darker color for the seperation instead of lighter. I guess that a bit of paint can’t hurt.

[no3Ljm]

I knew it!

MG 1/100 HRUDUDU. Y2376. July 2018. Apr 23, 2018 preorder. P-Bandai.

Now I understand why the Shield Booster are missing on those MG kits photos before.

MG 1/100 TR-1 HAZEL Shield Boosters. Y1620. July 2018. Apr 23, 2018 preorder. P-Bandai.

All these pictures make me want new kits! But I have to trim the backlog to get space for new ones 

[General Rasp]

Damn, I am going to be spending a lot on P-Bandai gunpla this year. Looks like the MG A.O.Z kits sold really well and any remaining MG Advanced Hazel pre-orders will be gone soon. Almost feel like I shouldn't even bother with the regular releases if they are going all out with A.O.Z suits. 

To get this setup I would need two HRUDUDU units and the shield booster set, correct? I have the MG Advanced Hazel on pre-order. 

I wonder if everything would actually stay together? I finished my MG Custom Hazel recently and impressed by how sturdy the kit is. It uses the MG Gundam 2.0 frame so that helps but I wasn't expecting it to stand up with the shield booster on the back. 

[anime52k8]

you know, when i said I wanted more wing suits this wasn't quite what I had in mind.

Yes. If you want the Hazel-Rah 2nd Form configuration, you need two Hrududus and the Shield Boosters.

Get an extra Hrududu too if you want the regular Hazel-Rah to display in the future.  

 

And good thing they didn't announce a Master Grade Gaplant Booster... yet. Or else, I'm going crazy.

Thanks! And I fully intend to do a regular Hazel-Rah. Oh that is going to be an big P-Bandai order. 

I am really curious how far Bandai will take the A.O.Z kits. Will we see a MG Hazel Owsla, Woundwort, or Hyzenthlay?

I hope not. Coz I'm going to bang my head. Hahaha!

But to be honest, it would be nice to see all of AoZ mechas in MG form. It's my dream to have it all in MG scaled back then. And that was 12 years ago. Right now, I'll be happy to have them continue it on HGUC format instead. Due to size, time and money-wise.

 

[dizman]

Retail release news for once! Looks like the original Byarlant is finally getting an HG release! More Pictures Here

 

And in strange news the HG GM Guard Custom is getting a retail release too!? More Pictures Here

[Duymon]

It looks like they're recycling the Sniper custom chest on that GM Guard instead of having a unique chest that has extra cockpit armor and the twin vulcans in it :/ Also looks like the front skirts are Sniper Custom recycles.

Not really salty though since I don't bother with 1/144

Looks like a big batch of kid went up for preorder. Byalant was a must buy for me. The jegan was another buy. I’m still on the fence with the Sazabi. I was looking at the power cables around the waist and feel a bit let down. The zaku cables had individual parts for the piping, but the cables on the Sazabi look molded like the hg version.

I am also tempted by the look of the galbaldy rebake. I think a few slight modifications may make me a bit happier like trimming or just removing the horn.

for anyone looking for effect parts the figurise ones may be useful.

[General Rasp]

Pre-orders for the Shield boosters and Hrududu sets are up at NY

[renegadeleader1]

Sweet! Another new GM variant!

[hachi]

I decided to check out the RG Tallgeese since it's release day today. But to my surprise it's now back-ordered at HLJ! T_T

This was the note from HLJ: Bandai has announced that their shipments of the RG Tallgeese EW will be split between two deliveries, one in April and one in May. Please note that depending on when we received an order, it may be filled in either April or May.

Decided to order hoping I might get into the May delivery. I did not pre-order beforehand because I only wanted to pay for 2 purchases this month. Lesson learned. So this time I pre-ordered the HG Leo just to make sure I get at least one. Now I'm gonna have to revise my budget for May, and June...I know it's available at other stores but I like to combine with other orders so I'm sticking with HLJ (and waiting for next payday).

[anime52k8]

bummer, I'm also waiting on a backordered tallgeese, I wanted to ship it with a figure I had on preordered, hopefully it'll be in stock sooner rather than later.

[Sanity is Optional]

I managed to order early enough there's a Tallgeese in my private warehouse, but I'm still waiting on the Aoshima Laevatein and Arbalest to hit my private warehouse as well.

[kajnrig]

There's a new HG parts campaign.

[kajnrig]

 

[Duymon]

oooh, lots of new goodies being shown at Shizuoka Hobby Show.

Only thing I'm really interested in is the new MG Gundam Storm Bringer from Build DIvers. Looks like it borrows heavily from the GM DOminance mold, which means it's another GM SNiper II frame. (that's like the 6th kit using the GM SNiper frame thus far)

[Kelsain]

I also saw that they're starting to put out HG kits from Moon Gundam. I was thinking about kit bashing the Theta Plus with a ZZ, but maybe this means it'll be an actual kit...

[dizman]

It's a good time to be a 1/144 GM fan!

Starting off we have the P-Bandai GM Custom More pics here.

 

A possibly regular retail GM Cannon more pics here.

 

Oh and a GM Interceptor, I wonder if the main kit will be regular release and the booster will be P-Bandai. More pics here.

 

Ground Gundam is getting a special P-Bandai parachute pack release with a buncha weapons. More pics here.

 

And then there is this abomination which I kinda want, maybe the P-Bandai price will scare me away. More pics here.
