If neither is labeled MG, then neither is the MG. 1 is scratched by HJ, the other by DH. What you see is what you get. The lack of pricing says that the design isn't finalized (only 3 months from release). It's quite likely Bandai is still hedging its bet on the design. Perhaps you are right, a "rude" (and whiny) awakening is in store. OTOH, perhaps like the Armageddon, if enough people believe it, it will happen? >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Its ironic how many people are focusing strictly on the Hobby Japan scratch build as if to say that is the final release? I think a lot of people must prefer that design to the actual Turn A Gundam design. It becomes even odder when the Hobby Japan kit doesn't match ANY of the lineart in the pictures behind it. While I wouldn't object to getting a kit based off of the Hobby Japan styling, I'd still be interested in the original design. If Bandai is hedging their bets on it, why even announce it? Actually it makes sense the more I think about it. Since the Turn A is probably the single riskiest Gundam design they can release make it an "EVENT" kit by tying it in to the "100th MG RELEASE" fanfare to build up hype. Otherwise it has a higher risk of tanking. The Victory Gundams are a less risky design to release so they can release them at any time. -------------------------------------------------- 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
