AA or even AAA would screw up the mass distribution of a plastic model, and it's challenging to hide a battery door on even the MG's. Better go for a button battery in the backpack or one of the feet. The battery door can be the sole. > > Mounting one MS so intimately behind another MS just seems a bit lewd. > > Likewise for Triple Dom's combo-stand. > Remember those Zaku-Gundam model "porn"?? :-) Not specificially... Anyway, when you drive at speed on the highway, how much space you leave in front of you? About 3 car lengths if you can do it right? Even when you tail gate you keep at least 1/3 car length (of course I never do that, ahem). These stands for Gaza C and Doms are about 1/4 MS length seperation. It looks WRONG! Only aerobatic teams fly that close, its not for cruising or combat. Ohh... is there an aviation nut in the house? Is it just my eyes? Or the Snowbirds (RCAF) flying the Tutors much more tightly packed than the Thunderbirds (USAF) flying the (presumably much faster) Falcons? > Check out the chromed parts on your Hyaku-shiki kit, or check out the Ok, I'll take your word for it. My point is that there's likely a bit of novelty (no matter how minor) behind Bandai's marketing blurb. > I think no one would think a HGUC ZZ is "wishful thinking", given there's no > time frame... I think we pretty much can agree a HGUC ZZ will appear, just Perhaps I should have picked something else. HGUC ZZ, Nu and GP-02 all seem like a matter of time. Yet I won't be too surprised if we will hit HGUC #070 (late 2007?) and still won't see any of these 3. Anyway calling it wishful thinking doesn't mean "there's no chance in hell". HGUC GCMP, Dendrobrium, G-Armor, Psyco Gundam all qualified as wishful thinking until they were actually announced. We just seem to have either announcements (via HLJ/HobbySearch/Gunota) or nothing at all. Compared to other products and even to Bandai/Namco games, Bandai Hobby keeps its cards (unnecessarily?) close to its chest. In years past, we would get class B rumors that's not total speculation but also not totally reliable. Sometimes it takes almost a year for the rumor to upgrade to class A evidence. A few older members should remember those days. There were interminable threads over the rumors and lists upon lists of predictions and counter-predictions. Then in a couple years those class B rumors became both more rare and less reliable. And then it just stopped. So I got pretty interested when you said the HK forums may have some inside connections. > Back for Psycho II. Yes, there's no concrete evidence. The only Come to think of it, you have that Zeta Bingo list and I should acknowledge that you called the white HGUC Gaza C after it came out as B-Club. So if the Psyco II, MSV and Real Type come out in HG/MG or something, I will have to title you Gunpla's Nostradamus. -- 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
