Hello Syd and Ryan.
I have a question: with the new Patlabor series live that will get out this year do you think we’ll have new kits going out with it?
Except for the D-Style all 1/35 kits are discontinued or out of stock and they are from a bit too old technology (2001). So I hope new MGs wil come out with the this new live series from Mamoru Oshii.
I think you’ve seen/heard of it now. They showed new trailer for Unicorn Episode 7, teaser for the new Gundam series, “Gundam Reconguista in G” and “The Origin I.” And the announcement of the new 1/1 scale Gundam statue, although they haven’t said which MS it’s going to be (*cough Char’s Zaku *cough *cough)
Some I’ve seen some I’ve not. I saw the trailer for Unicorn Episode 7 this morning and the Zaku statue was leaked weeks ago, not to mention in Build Fighters.

Reconquista in G has me thinking that the Mech could be the “White Devil” from the dark history of Turn-A with its reversed V-Blade, there’s a noticeable drop in the animation quality so it could be heading to TV toward the end of the year.
The Origin doesn’t have a noticeable drop in quality so it looks as though it will be an OVA release.
I ordered mine when Ryan announced it of Gunpla TV and I didn’t get any either. I e-mailed HLJ to find out why and they told me to look in side the boxes. They’re in another room so I’ve not checked all of them yet.
Yup checked all the boxes nothing inside but the normal runners that the kit comes with. Maybe better luck on my second order. But plan to try and make a MG type.Something to start off.
Thanks for another great episode guys, big news from the US also, starting next month in April the retailer Barnes and Nobel is going to start selling Gunpla models in stores. They did a trial run of select stores in 2013 and it did well enough to go nationwide. Hopefully with that roll out we can get more people interested in Gunpla and other…[Read more]
