Yes recolors, minor vars and ver.2's extend the lifetime of a design. But you are still staring at a shrinking market in the face. I am part of the fraction that will start to lose interest once 0079 is done in HGUC. Bandai will have to do something very special for me to buy yet another 1/144 Gundam (hmm Gundam + Core Booster pack would do it for me). In fact I am almost there already. The old Zock is very serviceable. The old Acguy is clunky but it would be preferrable to a supersized Acguy. EX is taking care of the non-humanoids; (Samson looks fantastic!) oh I gotta finish the Gunperry. So when HGUC vanilla Gelgoogs come out I will start to retire from gunpla. Looking at that robo-sumo video from a while back, I could help but think gunpla is really 20th Cen. kiddie toy, it's about time to move on! Funny someone mentioned the 08MST line. I actually remember it was around 15 Oct 1998 when I picked up a HG Gouf Custom in Tokyo. That model is still standing on the shelf and honest to myself my skills hasn't progressed much in 8 years. Damn I am getting moody, is it side effect of finishing the Dom? -- 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
