Thats a kit I wouldn't plan on waiting for... Originally Bandai had only promised us 3-4 more AoZ kits... and we've got 4 kits out there now. However, the Bandai I knew back in December of '04 and what they're up to these days seems very different.
Still, a huge kit like the original Gaplant Fiver in its massive MA mode would also probably merit a redesigning of their existing Gaplant HGUC kit, which they're probably not too fond of doing. Still, Bandai slightly redid their HGUC Gundam for the HGUC #49 with the G Armor... but I think the HGUC Gundam w/G Armor is a little bit more Gundam-historically valuable than this awesome Mobile Armor. If anything, I think we can expect some more little upgrade kits from DK Hobby, as they've already released two special kits for the HGUC Hazels to use.

I've thought about how to do that connector for the Sturm Shields; it's doable, but it also need a hinge system, and that's where the scratchbuilding skills go into overtime. Or, we can wait for the real HGUC Fiver to turn up - and if it does, that thing promises to be a monster of a kit if it's in full mode...
