I love it~! the new changes gives it more ways to pose. except if i buy it, it will be the 4th one =_= and i dont want another rx78 on my shelf. If they can implement these changes to all the existing MG models it will be great!
I have the real grade of it but I will still buy the MG. I really would have liked to see a updated Sazabi before the 3.0. Guess we will have to wait on Bandai a little longer
The 3.0 will be the first RX-78-2 I’ve ever built, and I’m very much excited to get my hands on it. I’m not a traditionalist as far as looks go, and I’m a big fan of the multiple shades of colors and moving armor panels. I’m glad I kept holding off on buying the RG, I love the 1/100th scale. Can’t wait to get it!
The marker sets are part of a campaign. If it’s like the last time you have to send in a form found in the box and hope your name is drawn. Back to the box art, I like it but I’m more surprised to see it’s one of the rectangular boxes rather than the ‘small-box’ every other MG RX-78-2 has come in. Then again, it’s not a surprise considering the…[Read more]
thanks for the info @syd. they certainly make it hard to get the exclusive gear. i wonder if all future MG kits will go the way of the flatter rectangular box? is this an indication that all future kits will be of the 3.0’s detail too? hope so 🙂
A box art worthy of a 3.0. I hope we can expect more of those for future 3.0 releases. I really like that they’re going for the realistic look and feel with this 3.0, from the model of the mobile suit with the decals, panel lines, proportions, to the box art.
That’s what I think the models should be like, representing a “realistic” looking war machine.
I like the new RX-78-2 v3.0.. Bandai keeps on bringing something new everytime this Gundam gets its new version. The V2.0 was ok.. wasn’t really a fan of its design which came from the 70’s anime. I want a more bulkier and more complex RX78-2 design.
I’m excited if not only because RX-78-2 ver. 3.0 also means a Zaku is coming. With a Sazabi ver. Ka and a new Zaku around the corner. Its a good year to be a Char fan.
I’m hoping for 3.0 of things like the GP01, 02 that never got a 2.0, hopefully an Alex as well, and maybe even a Hyaku Shiki. So much potential, I just want to see what’s next.
Really liking it but it irks me that they want the expansion set as an Bandai Hobby Online store exclusive. I understand that it cuts cost of middle mans and they make higher profits for something that costs about a HG/RG as they won’t sell in huge bulks.
Just wish they would give us over sea guys some love and let us buy directly too.
