>>7286602>Bandai is number 1, not equal in engineering. Maybe plastic qty they are about equal.You are very out of touch with plastic model manufacturing if you think that. Bandai were ahead in many areas 15 years ago, now not at all. The difference is far more obvious outside of gunpla/robot kits, but even as far as gunpla goes, Some of the recent kits by companies like Volks are miles ahead in terms of precision, parts tolerance, engineering & detail. Its hard to describe if you havent built one but new stuff like the VR maxima just feel so much higher quality, but of course the high price reflects that.
