So now less than 2 wks later... Gadem's color, not yet confirmed? but a solid guess Antenna optional, YES Gelgoog Marine style shield, yes machine gun, yes bazooka, yes grenade launcher, yes heat hawk? no, but there's a hole on the hip for the hawk holster. Looks like everything is there, classic fans have their Gadem's shoulder ram; reto fans need only 1 or 2 cans of spray paint for either BT or Topp's Zaku I. OTOH, Bandai holds out the hope to release both recolors (perhaps adding the hawk) without any additional cost. It's pretty much everything fans can ask for. WAIT A MINUTE, EX Samson?!?!! Only 3150 Yens? (since when did Bandai price kits/toys down to 50 Yens, even 10 or 5 Yens quanta? MG Gyan = 3675 Yens!) Anyway 3150 Yens, must be the engine only right? No! The flatbed is included. http://www.mpsnet.co.jp/HobbyNet/ProductOne.aspx?pno=21287 The flatbed looks huge, the whole thing looks 80% longer than Zaku. Exass 14cm, 3200 Yens Eternal 17.6 cm, 3500 Yens Gundam Trailer, 13.5cm, 3000 Yens Musai, 13.7cm, 2800 Yens Dopps, 12.1cm (W) + 8.4cm (W), 3000 Yens Samson, ~21.9cm, 3150 Yens EX pricing is really all over the place. Looks like Gundam Trailer and Exass were the worst value in the line, and Samson (and Gunperry) would give you most plastic for the Yen. A must for me, let's see now... Gabthley, BT Doms, Palace Athens, Methuss, Gaza C (MPT), Zaku I, Samson, OUCH. At least I am saving some money NOT getting Gundam games :) -- 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
