Excited much? Personally, I am looking forward to the Stein (granted I cancelled my preorder and reordered a couple of times). This would be my first MG Sinanju. Simple design, straight lines and white. Whoosh!! 

Kinda on the fence with the Jesta Cannon. My gunpla-sense tells me that Bandai might plough us with the MG treatment of the Jesta Cannon (Online exclusive or not), which should look insanely menacing in that size. I would have to wait for March to see if the MG Jesta is significantly better than the HG.

What's your pick of the month? Join the discussion and more in the Gundam Australia Forum.
 

News on the Drop: October 2012

Not much this month, but significant. From the likes of Vagan's very own Gundam Legilis, a cute but powerful one-eyed BB Command Gundam and to the final dot of the SEED MG line, the Aegis Gundam. A full circle indeed.

News on the Drop - May 2012

This is a new and ongoing topic where every beginning of the month, I will update a list and images of kits that are due to release. What will appear in this topic? For now, I think Mega Size, High Grades, Real Grades, Master Grades and Perfect Grades (and yes, that is the hierachy of Gundam Model Kits at this moment in time). Do let us know if you want Special Deformed, No Grades, First Grades and Advanced Grades in the mix.

Alright, May-Mayhem they say, I say "blergh!!". After months of heaven dropping plastics on us, I would say May is the time where most gunplar will stuff their wallet into the deepest hole they could find. How can one build up any excitement after the MG Banshee, the AGE-1 MGs, two RGs Mk II and a bunch of new HGs (not to mention some really good looking but recoloured HG kits).

To the list!!
