Well, I dont' see the Char's Gelgoog as a step forward. Some of them good
ideas (movable skirt), but some really dumb... the new elbow design doesn't
seem to let one build and sand the front arm before putting the elbow joint
together, which I think is a step back. Of course unless they've hide the
seam, but I don't see that in the official pic.
You are mixing up things again, you may or may not like the changes,
but changes are changes, when there's a lot of engineering changes
(i.e. not about aesthetics) it's a 2.0. You can just as well say some
choices in Vista is a step backward from XP, but it's still a new
generation product.
Anyway, we'll just see.
Sure... but I don't think gunpla ever advertise that they are easy to
sand. All the gunpla tips mooks/books teach you how to remodel the
parts for serious seam filling and airbrushing.

'cuz there's not as many MS flying around?
Rather the opposite, there's always chaos and lot of things flying and
shooting. And there's never a mid-battle one-on-one enemy-to-enemy
pour-your-heart-out yapping.
Anyway I saw the Zudah episode now. Will write it up perhaps tomorrow.

Yes you said it before; well, not getting one doesn't mean not looking at
it. I won't "get" Charlize Theron in this lifetime, but that doesn't mean I
can't look at her?!
Dont' tell my wife....
Want more rumor? I know you don't care but it's fun to speculate: this
forum guy (generally reliable) said there'll be a MG Re-GZ ver.2.0 coming.
That's about the LEAST I expect to get renew.
Hmm so is there an meta-rumor that Re-GZ 2.0 is to be released along
with CCA redux?

You mean the scout set? it doesn't look so on picture. Will have to check
it out in person to tell.

I thought only the Island episode is "lost".
You are right! After I sent the post, I knew I was wrong.

I'm not a diorama guy and these 1/35 kits seems very diorama oriented, so
unless it's really stand out (like that 1/35 Zaku head) I can't say I want
to invest in it... but surely this will accidentally boost Tamiya's figure
sets' sales?
Well I never built a decent diorama, but I'm a sucker for diorama
oriented kits, especially when I was building a lot of Tamiya 1/35.
Curiously the Zaku head is the part I don't want, wanna split a kit,
you take the head, I take Ranba and friends?
