We will get the last word from Bandai in less than 2 months. I'll wait until then to continue this line of discussion. > set as Black-Tri's Doms only showed up for 2/3 episodes, and the only > memorable scene from them is probably just the stream-jet attack (I actually I.e., the 3-Dom set is aimed that slither of customer segments crazy enough to pay the price and spend the time to build the same model three times over to recreate a scene that lasted about TEN SECONDS, from a 25-years old anime to boot. I am still actively social engeering my wife to accept that I will have to spend several weekends to build three copies of the same model, which is in turn almost the same as the Dom Troopen and Rick Dom II currently on the shelf and the Desert Dom Troopen that's still unopened. > The only value-added accessory for the set is probably: > > 1) a Madea Transport with broken cockpit, which is, are you kidding me??! > ... To be realistic, the Rick Dom/Dom kit and the 3-Dom kit are probably the last we will see of the Vanilla Dom. Following previous pattern, we might see Extra Finish version and Crystal version if the regular kits sell very well. But I detected a hint of Dom-fatique even in the HK-based forum S-Coolboy, so I won't be holding my breath for any re-colors or other special or regular releases. > event limited set?

I can likewise ask for Zaku's broken snout for the first episode, and Gundam's broken head and arm stump for the last episode. I am a little disappointed B-Club doesn't make more diorama-type after-market parts in their EX-GKP product line. OTOH, broken shield and head are SO easy to make yourself. At worst you just buy an extra Gundam or Zaku for the parts, which is still a lot cheaper than any of the EX-GKP sets. What's tricky is making the model poseable enough to make the scene. Things like Char's Zaku's waist and 3-Dom's clasped hands are real sellers. I also hope Bandai is finding that good stands (e.g. Asshimar's) convert into measureable profit. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
