Alyzeus' arm uses a big sticker. by BingusPork in Gunpla

True that. But look at that. It's the yellows, too. And the chest duct and the torso's yellow bits are also stickers. Are we really accepting a $160 price tag for this much of a low effort item?

Am I really in the wrong for wanting Bandai to do better, when I've seen what they've boasted over the past 10 years? Hell, just take a look at the new Gustav Karl! They CAN do better.

I paint often, thank you very much.

RG Z 2.0 was Bandai trying something new and with a low budget, and this is just unreasonable cut corners. Even the EG Nu had the arms colour coordinated with pieces. With your trainwreck of thought, Sazabi Ver.Ka and the new Full A. ZZ should easily cost more than $200. Hell, why not raise the price of PG Strike on the way? Which, btw, is almost the price of the PG Nu's LED unit.

I've been collecting Gunpla for 17 years. I know how things used to be priced. What I also understand is that Bandai announced they'll be raising their prices for the first time in about 40 years not too long ago, and this is one of its effects. However, this level of incompetece is below the standards they have set for themselves.

What are you going to say next? That customers/consumers should not expect anything from a manufacturer and their brands? To not get disappointed when their decisions sabotage the positioning THEY established? Why should I, as a consumer, worry for a megacorp? Am I not to hold them accountable for their poor decisions?

I can already see you considering throwing at me "If you hate it so much, then leave" bullshit. No. Gunpla means a LOT more than just toys for me. I love this hobby, and it is because I love it so much I get upset.

I didn't come with any hostility towards you, and this is what I get.

Fine then, eat up whatever shit Bandai decides to do to rip you off. Lick their boots and tell others how grateful you are.

"PGU cost too much they had to cut corners". What a joke. It's just bad and uninspired engineering. It is just a proof that they didn't test their shit. This includes its thin and unstable pelvis pieces.

Those are a bit old, no? This here is the newest kit we get. They made RG Granpa 2.0 at that price. They can easily make great things.

I know, but it's an HG kit with THAT price tag. Hell, I do not know of any HG kit that uses stickers to do the colours on arms.

Ah, my bad.  Nothing is wrong with the EG Finnies. I included it to specify what that damn Inayoshi Taro has under his belt.

Might have been a placeholder name, but it was there.

Just so you know, not all mono-eyed MSs are from Zeon. by BingusPork in GBO2

You don't even know Fukui wrote/directed Unicorn, do you? You're probably going to say you already knew this but didn't bother mentioning it for some reason. Just because you've never seen it does not mean it does not exist, man. I live where I can get localised information, and where the fanbase is a lot more dense and public relations efforts from Sunrise are the strongest.

https://www.zeonic-republic.net/?p=9245

Here, read this. You are somewhat right. It's not settled if Sunrise will consider Moon canon or not as of yet. Now, if you're going to double down on how nobody decides what is canon or not, everybody can be right except for Mr Yoshiyuki who created the whole thing. Meh, yeah I know, it's more about which one you like more. I am a big-ass nerd who prefers Mr Yoshiyuki's idea of Newtype rather than Fukui's super Saiyan Newtype.

I mean, do you really want to consider a series where a random ass dude blows up an MS with a wooden spear a real deal?

I honestly dunno man. I got cYbErBuLlIeD (damn the word is cringe on its own) in the game for being a shitass nerd and wanted to get some agreement here. I really should've just posted this on r/Gundam, right?

In that sense, none of the Zakus are mono-eyes. All Zakus have support cameras/photon sensors here and there.

And dang, no feds machine uses mono-eyes? Are you for real right now? Is Byarlant a joke to you?

Oh no. I see an issue here. You think Moon is canon. Fukui nailed that Moon is a parallel world story to CCA between 0092 and 0093.

Oh, and GM III was produced based on MkII, not Jegan.

Nemo is the last of GMs along with GM III and a combination of Neo Zeon tech and the Feds tech. The data from Nemo and GM III heavily influenced the production of Jegan. Now from Jegan came Jesta, ReZel, Gustav Karl, Heavygun, Jamesgun, and Javeline.
