also was curious what others thoughts were because I wonder why Bandai keeps

the original concepts hold up better?
Unfortunately for you, the window for unusual UC kits is closing very
quickly. Old farts like me are dictating one big chuck of market:
infinite merchandise out of First Gundam. Younger gen are deciding
the rest of it: infinite AU series: Wing, Seed, G00 and so on and so
forth.

Ahh if you want to talk about kits is, my crystal ball is clear:
DRAMATIC SILENCE
INCREASING DRUM ROLLS
G00! I predict for Q4 2007 and most of 2008, we will see a big
retreat from UC. MG F91 is already finished, Victory Gundam is a no
go and MG Turn-A is a one-off. HGUC and MG First Gundam is finished.
And Z/ZZ will be humming at a minimal level. I have huge respect for
Seiji Mizushima, but it's still clear G00 is a merchandise friendly
series. Out of UC if you don't see your fave designs by Q3, expect to
hold your breath for another 18 months.
