It was destined to happen

Destined? Probably not but the 101st Master Grade Gundam offering by Bandai will in fact be the Destiny Gundam , now it can go along with the Jesus (Strike Freedom) Gundam. The prototype looks pretty good, I wonder how the colors will come out? That is a rather hefty price to pay though, I remember when these things hovered around the 3000 - 4000 yen mark. Now it seems 5000 is a standard price and so far aside from the new engineering on the pieces it only seems to net you an extra stand.

I still haven't even bought the MG Z Gundam 2.0 yet, aside from the fact that I have 3 untouched kits at home as well. Still it is an impressive rebound from the MG Turn A. It does deserve to be the 100th release but really...what could possibly go inside of the MG Turn A? After all these kits pride themselves on internal mechanics these days while the Turn A is a hollowed shell. It is somewhat sad however that Gunpla releases have been almost exclusively Gundam "hero-mech" or revised older releases lately. The days when Kampfer and Quebeley ruled the Gunpla shelf space seems over.
