Jesus guys.

I don't have a problem with the service itself, just what picks to sell under the service. What makes designs like FSD retail worthy over the Heavy Gundam? How about GM Sniper Custom over GM Space Command? Or even Colony over Space Type? The Sniper Custom, for example, only had a kit from the 80s so does Bandai gauge interest in the design in modern day? I just wish I could understand.

I've always viewed it as if it's niche, too similar to something already released (maybe only a few pieces with slight changes) or even just a basic recolour then it's P-Bandai.

Never understood why the MG hazel was P-Bandai. I understood the Titan colour release but Hazel seemed quite popular and not too much of a niche to justify it.

It's almost like endlessly discussing why Bandai makes certain choices is pointless and a waste of time.
We know from secondhand sources the reason is economic.
Is it necessary to discuss it further? I mean, all it amounts to is a bunch of manbaby tears.
If you don't like it, fine. If you do, fine.
If you want something to change, write a damn letter to Bandai because crying here just makes you look like a faggot.

There was an anon in last thread that linked to a Derringer post on /m/. Derringer says that all the fan favorite kits like MG V2, Hazel, etc sell like absolute shit. The Hazel even got returned to Mandarake en mass after release
Basically people who want underrated or underdog designs don't put their money where their mouth is and the kits end up selling like shit, which makes Bandai afraid of investing in them, so they just make them all P-Bandai
It doesn't exactly explain things the Lightining Black Warrior and the FSD though
Either way, gunpla fans around here seem to have just resigned on the idea of showing displeasure over the service, with some of them actively campaigning for and defending it
It's only a matter of time until Gundam kits become a full-on premium service
At least Kotobukiya have been stepping up, their biggest downside right now is pricing, but once Bandai is out of the game, Koto will probably be able to reduce their prices a bit since they'll have less competition. Then again, nips are greedy fuckers so who knows

What really pisses me off about this whole debacle is that there now exists a MASS PRODUCED RX-78 GUNDAM at the war’s beginning my along with the Ground Type Gundam. All because Bandai didn’t want to give us filthy gaijin in the Heavy Gundam.

Why even fucking bother with the GM at that point when you can just create an army of Gundams?

But if they have Gundams cheap enough to enter mass-production, why go even cheaper and make GMs. Save a couple of bucks and make worse units or waste a bit more cash and literally have an invincible army of units that Zeon only managed to match when it was too late? Sounds like a no-brainer
Then again Amuro won the freaking war by himself so it doesn't matter how many units or which kind of units they mass-produced

To be fair, the FSD was designed for the purpose of mass-production, which sounds more like a test model to see if it's actually worth doing.

Logically it would be a case that you get many more Jims for your money which would be cheaper to run, repair, churn out etc.

Maybe Origin will change all that though. The story seems to keep changing all the time as it is.

diff anon here, I'm lucky enough the last time this happened to me was between half cannon zaku and the zaku cannon. I much prefer the Zaku half cannon, and I was fully expecting that to be the p-bandai... I really couldn't figure out why it was the other way. However, from what I can see, the kit actually is all gone from shelves near me.

What I'm more puzzled about is how the tristar RG are p-bandai... and a 3 in 1 set at that...

I think I also made the mistake of using a too large needle/nozzle for it, and being too impatient. The pattern I intended had smaller patches with more elaborate shapes.

Still, actually having done it once (even if poorly) does wonders for getting motivation to improve for me.

The thing that confuses me about P-Bandai is that it's pretty much standard procedure for just about every other model kit company. Bandai is the outlier in having such a wide variety of general release kits that it constantly reprints [nospoilersontoy]though if you ask me it really should just ditch the 70s-80s molds[/spoiler:lit]. And yet it inspires so much more vitriol than Koto does.

I get that thanks to markup, P-Bandai kits are inherently less affordable for overseas customers. I get that being a fan of something generally makes you overestimate how much merchandise it can push. I get that in general your average gunpla fan doesn't care about economics or Bandai's side of the equation, they just want a kit. I even get that it really blows to complain about not being able to buy a kit you wanted and getting told your complaint is silly.

Walk into any given gunpla thread and every time a new P-Bandai is announced there is always an enormous amount of bitching, no matter how niche the design. And that's fine, because see above. But then. and this is what kills me, nobody does anything about it. No investigation of the sales data to see if the decision was merited, no contacting official channels to try and get the kit an overseas release like XN Raiser and Turn Red, no attempts to establish better systems then the current resellers (I have a friend in Japan who sends me and my friends stuff we're interested in at zero markup. It's not that hard.), and especially no actually buying anything to give Bandai more confidence in the line.

Instead it's just the same damn conversation every single time. "Fuck Bandai, they're such jews." "They're not getting any of my money now." "They can't keep getting away with this." "Fucking nips have such shit taste."

Is there really a point to repeating the same conversation 200 times in a row?

In my opinion, not one bit. That's why I am posting so vehemently on the subject now.
If you want something to change, do something about it. Just bitching here does nothing but anger people like myself. And if I shit up the threads, no one is happy.

Even worse, I feel like I'm stuck in a bizarro world sometimes where I'm obligated to "defend" Bandai just by pointing out what they're actually doing.

Like, a really common complaint I see a lot is that all that sells are Zakus and RX-78-2, so that's why we keep getting them. And that is true. But what is also true is that Bandai has an entire line dedicated to niche releases, a line that is always seemingly on the verge of cancellation because nobody seems to buy them. What is also true is that ever since like 2014 MG releases have gone fucking nuts, mixing in stuff I never thought I'd see like the Turn X, Deep Striker, and GM Sniper Custom of all things among the usual standbys of protagonist suits (and even those have been getting more niche). What is also true is that Bandai has gone crazy with the engineering, to the point the standards of the lines have risen so high that's it considered a letdown they're recycling HG 00. You know, the kit the guide here recommends because it's so solid.

And it'd be one thing if it were just on 4chan, because I kinda expect this place to bitch more than other places. But it's everywhere!

And coming from a background where Bandai's stuff is legitimately still amazing me (we get monthly updates now instead of having to wait for magazine releases or expos!), it all just seems like Bandai's fanbase has no idea how good they have it.

Oh and just to clarify, while we still got monthly updates back when everything was announced through Dengeki Hobby, it was always kind of a mess prone to hearsay and bad scans making it hard to read what the announcements actually said (or make out what the kits really looked like). But now everything gets shown off in-person and on-schedule at that new Gundam place they built.

The Divers kits are slated to be months apart. By the time the show is airing one of the character's main suits won't even be available yet. They're clearly cutting back and afraid of pushing out at the volume they used to

Here's an example. Say I want to buy, I dunno, MG Alex. That thing is from 1999 and I can still get it at its original price of 3000 yen. Sure it might take a while (RIP GM 2.0 fans who had to wait two years), but I can safely preorder it knowing that it will be reprinted. Or hell, buy it for slightly above its original price since most scalpers don't bother trying with general release kits.

But what if I want the 2008 Koto 1/100 R-1? It originally sold for 5800 yen. Well fuck me then, it's either get scalped or crawl through mandarake daily and hope.

I have a really hard time believing that audience is larger than the audience that would buy newer retail kits or the MSVs that have been P-Bandai'd
But then again I heard Derringer say that people literally ignore and return kits of the things they beg for like the V2 and Hazel
Gundam fans are apparently retarded and don't know what the hell they want

I don't know who would want to buy MG Alex, that thing's a piece of shit. I just picked that because I'm working on it right now (which is why I know it's a piece of shit, uggggh that head sculpt).

But, and this is something else I feel a lot of people aren't aware of, just because it's pretty old doesn't mean a kit's bad. MG G4 and G5 are considered ancient by the standards of the guide here since they predate MG Aile Strike 1.0, but i just got them recently and was pleasantly surprised with how solid they are. Even the HG 1/100 90s have their ups sometimes; Airmaster and Leopard look just fine next to MG GX.

And this is even more off topic than what you actually wrote, but even if Koto reprinted their 1/100 R-1 I probably wouldn't get it. Koto stuff really doesn't hold up as well as you go back in time. Again, I just picked R-1 because I had it near me at the time.

Anyways, your actual point. Alex 2.0 is actually pretty likely (though it being from 0080 kinda shoots it in the foot since AFAIK that line has never sold well) since it reuses the RX-78-2 frame, is a protagonist gundam, and seems to at least be popular enough to get action figures (it's getting a RD ANIME soon!). I suppose it's possible it could be P-Bandai (it'd be a first if so), but assuming it will seems unnecessarily pessimistic.

It's apparently just something Bandai prides themselves on. It does have its advantages, but as the years go on it seems like it's becoming more trouble than its worth.

All the same though, I don't really know where exactly I'd put the cutoff point. The easy answer is to ditch all the lines but HGUC, RG, MG, PG, RE/100, and whatever relatively new thing they're coming out with this time, but that would mean losing all the 1/100 90s kits which honestly do have their charms.

Though you could argue that ditching those 90s kits would create incentive for newer versions to be made, I guess.

Pretty much.

But see, that's kind of the point of this conversation too. When you know more about Bandai's current situation, it makes more sense why they're jumping onto P-Bandai so much. General release kits have become a noose they're hanging themselves on, and the obvious fix is to shift to limited run kits like everyone else.

Wtf this doesn't make any sense though
And goes against new molds that they're releasing like the Leo. There's no base kit to have made back profit from so how did they choose to make a new mold for it?
Sounds like they just came up with a bullshit reason to justify not having an ounce of faith on Tristan and Twilight Axis

The Tristan and Leo are two entirely different cases.

Canonically, the Tristan is the original Alex retooled into a new design. Typically when stuff like this happens a new mold is made so that both the new design and the old design can get new kits (HG Build Strike predated HGCE Aile Strike), so them not doing it for Tristan was pretty odd. If a prospective Alex Revive would have been unlikely to make enough money to justify the cost (since nobody had faith in the Tristan) than it only makes sense to reuse the original.

Meanwhile, the HGAC Leo is straight up a business venture. It's brand synergy with the upcoming RG Tallgeese, it's targeted at the Western audiences Bandai is currently experimenting with, and it's even being billed as part of the Gunpla Evolution Project so if all else fails they can justify the cost that went into the mold with marketing slogans.

Oh so the new mold for kits that made a profit was referring to the Alex. I was thinking it applied to the Tristan, which wouldn't have made any sense
Yeah now I understand, they reused the Alex because it failed at retail and they didn't want to invest in the Trsitan+ Alex Revive
Which means we'll never get a Mudrock either, unless it reuses the old Alex joints as well

Oh and if anyone's wondering why they would even release Twilight of Axis kits if everybody had such little faith in them, my theory is that they were trying for another Build Fighters. Barely any effort went into the kits for that line because it was expected to fail, and then it turned out to be a success and people bought the kits anyways. So if by some miracle Twilight of Axis sold hotcakes, then they'd get even more money for their investment. And if like expected it failed, then they didn't lose much.

And what do you know, it bombed.

Ehhh I can kind of see that but at the same time Build Fighters was just a second and even lazier attempt at Gunpla Builders which had some effort put into them. Sure the Hi-nu was just a recolor but they had a brand new main Gundam mold and the Zaku F2000 plus the Forever Gundam were more extensive redesigns than Zaku Amazing and Build MK.II
Honestly I feel like they just decided that the Tristan had some potential at retail compared to other Twilight kits since it was a Gundam unit. They did pretty much make a kit for every unit appearing in the mini-series so they knew there was some cash to get in there

The main issue is that the people who care enough to vote in the polls generally do not reflect the sentiment of the entire market.

Say like 2000 people voted. Even if all 2000 actually did buy that MG (which is unlikely) it still wouldn't matter because the other 98,000 people didn't.

Polls are great for limited edition stuff since you can make them to order, but they rarely ever work out for mass production stuff. You want solid marketing data for that.

in all honesty i think the glory days of gunpla are over.
bandai hasn't been able to grab the attention of the current generation, so all they have is their current aging customer base. that's a losing prospect right from the start; look what's happening with dc/marvel here, they're desperately floundering with new ideas and new methods of distribution and it's just not working because the interest isn't there. bandai's got enough ips that they're not going to die or anything, but their current business model for gunpla is unsustainable.

bandai going fully p-bandai seems like the most likely future, but no matter what happens the one thing everyone wants (cheap, always available kits) is the one thing we can't get.

well unless someone invents teleportation and they turn buying gunpla into an online catalog or something crazy like that.

Literally all Bandai has to do to get in on Koto's FAG market is use the figure-rise standard technology on their mecha-musume and start designing original mecha-girls for the line.
That's what's all the rage right now and what all the weebs and kids are buying. They use the profits from that to fund the regular Gundam designs on a backburner and we can all have what we want and Bandai doesn't need to rely on P-Bandai anymore. Unless they insist on restocking ancient 80s kits, in which case nothing will change and the mecha-girl line-up is just going to fuck up their overstock and release problems even further

Old stuff? They replaced the rx-78-2 statue with the unicorn. The unicorn and it's recolor brothers have so much merch that they're like 1/10th of all kits produced. Unicorn is probably a bigger hit than the OYW despite having shit all to do with early UC besides fake Char who's barely in the story.

You mean the rate of hgucs and MGs is dropping. Are you pretending IBO didn't drop a slew of kits, BF/T didn't drop a slew of kits for general release? The signs point to Bandai focusing on new entries aimed at a younger generation who can afford cheaper kits. Meanwhile the "old" stuff that you're suggesting is popular is reserved for p-bandai, a label for limited production, limited demographic merch.

G-Reco was 4 years ago anon
And it was a commercial failure. Bandai didn't put any effort into the kits until the line was practically over
Unicorn the Gundam sells, the series is irrelevant by now. No one is buying Kshatriya or Sinanju anymore, especially with how the RG turned out
IBO's first season did ok and then squandered it with 2nd season. Build Fighters Try was also hated and a failure. The desperate Battleogue and other attempts to keep it alive didn't do as well as hoped
Divers is their last stand. If this fails they can only depend on animating Origin for the 40th anniversary but they're already blowing their load on kits for it. Are they going to pull another Thunderbolt and re-release all those Zakus under Origin Ver.? Are people gonna fall for that enough to save Bandai's gunpla division?

Well neither of those kits were particularly good and didn't match the expectations people had of them. That's something that definitely needs to be considered, we can't just place all the blame on the consumer.

>Bandai made the molds for the V2 upgrade parts and never used them
>now we have to wait forever to get a MG FA ZZ ver.Ka becasue they didn't want to get burned again

See, that's a good example. who thought MG ZZ would be such a hot selling MG? I sure didn't, but it was. Because it was a really good kit that received high praise.

I don't understand why they haven't done this, they're making mecha colle Kamen Rider kits ffs.

Think about it. 300-600 yen kits of White Base, Musai, Argama, Nahel Argama, Albion, grey phantom, Madea, Ra Cailum, Alexandria, Mobile Armors. Perfect for quick one day builds or just nice little desk toys.

Because they both have some of the canonically most complex transformations in the franchise. It's not a good design for toys you want to have a somewhat accurate transformation. If people want better articulation they need to give something up.

But Katoki managed to get decent articulation out of the ZZ and not only does it transform, it's bulky as shit too
It feels like V2 might've been phoned in a little or they just decided the articulation the kit has is good enough

The ZZ works because it IS bulky. It gives them more plastic to work with. The V2's like half the height and quarter the mass. It's flimsy because the plastic for the transformation is already pretty thin. The ZZ, haven't built one yet, is pretty big so it makes sense they can use more plastic.

Plus the transformation isn't as complex. The Victory and V2 has the bottom parts crisscross to form the body, and then the corefighter transforms and slots in. The ZZ is more conventional

>>6795578
Me neither. Gimmicks are okay but I want stability, articulation, and aesthetics first and foremost and transforming kits always give those up for the transformation mechanism.

I'm fine with some transformations. HGUC kits thanks to partsforming don't really need to sacrifice too much in way of articulation or sculpt. The biggest disadvantage is the extra parts and what they add to the cost. If you're not interested in transformation at all, you're essentially getting a giant brick that cost you extra yen and you'll never use
That said the Asshimar can transform without use of parts and it has above-average articulation for its time so there's definitely some designs and transformations out there that can be done perfectly and with virtually no disadvantages

I missed that, there was a shill in my normal gunpla group pushing people to order during the period since he had some connection. Turns out in the aftermath he got a free airbrush because he helped get other johns to sign up and clear out backstock/refurbs.

Funny because the dude has more money than god apparently since he's always placing multi hundred dollar orders for models every week or so.

>>6795731
Yeah sounds like it. I'd tell them they were given a used/refurbished model and not new, that it had paint inside and wasn't oiled properly and as a result is a piece. Amazon is always awesome with working with customers.

Badger held a sale for the 56th(?) birthday of the owner. $56 for ANY Badger airbrush with no limits other than no more than 1 of each type (no 2x Patriots, 2x Extremes, etc) with $10 shipping.

It exploded. So much so they had to post FB updates explaining exactly how the sale worked. Everyone expected your normal place an order, pay the price, have it shipped. Instead they made several posts outlining the steps: Email them with a particular subject line, with the airbrush(s) you wanted in the body. Then you'd be sent an email with payment instructions. Then you'd wait for it to be shipped.

Turns out they didn't have all the airbrushes ready to be shipped out ASAP so they'd have to crank up their manufacturing. So people are pissed they're having to wait on their cheap Badger AB straight from the factory as well as not having read the actual FB post about the sale.

As far as customer service being shit, that isn't true; they'll bend over backwards to fix whatever's wrong with their AB. Can't take it apart right out of the box b/c shit's too tight? Did you fuck up and drive paint where it shouldn't have? If it can't be fixed by just outright buying another part, they'll fix it. Email them and they'll give you instructions to send it to them so they can do so.

As far as Badger vs Iwata, I find the Patriot/Krome/Xtreme to be fairly close to the Eclipse HP-CS. But you do tend to step up from a Badger to an Iwata.

They're a lot safer and if you accidentally slash yourself, the chance of it cutting skin is lower due to how the blade is shaped. You're also supposed to scrape with them instead of the normal cut away from yourself technique, but you can do that still with the ceramic.

If you want one, walmart sells a $3 one in the shipping section. I've been using it for about a year now, and the blade is still sharp. It's easy as fuck to find and dirt cheap so I do recommend trying one out.

If you are so thin skinned you can't take criticism without telling other people to post their work, you probably shouldn't post anything in the first place.

ZZ is like twice the size of V2, it has way more room to fit in better articulation. Also, and this is really important, because it's bigger it can command a higher price point. That means a higher engineering budget.

V2 was fucked from the beginning. It's smaller than your typical MG (so lower budget), it has a complicated transformation (so MG being MG they had to prioritize that), and it's just an incredibly no-frills suit (so hard to sell to non-fans). Despite all of that I still think it's an amazing kit, but it's one where you have to accept the reality of what it is. Either leave the thing separated or (like MG V') pick a pose you like and glue it.

I still think it would have sold better if it came with the WoL though. I understand the argument that it would've driven up the price point past the level where most consumers would want it, but if the thing was really put into production due to polls than it's ridiculous not to include the design's most notable feature.

You’re right. There’s no middle ground either. 4chan is just a bunch of resentful snap building NEETs that shit on every build posted and only want to complain about P Bandai. Reddit is just a giant hug box where snapbuilt Exia/Barbie/Zaku/Lead Suit gets upvoted to the top, and any slightly negative/critical commentary gets downvoted.

Those HGUCs came out concurrently when AoZ was being published. It was brand new and expected to do much better obviously because the sequels got stiffed until just recently.

I mean it must've done pretty well anyway because they only gave it kits after 3 years and they went pretty hard on them too. First kits to get double-joints and color separation was top-notch at the time. They also went with 4 designs from the series, 5 counting the Quel

Probably has to do with the fact that most AoZ designs (including most Hazel variants) are clusterfucks.

It was published monthly in magazines until 2008. While it's also true that none of the sequel suits got kits, unless you count that one Dengeki Hobby original kestral pack-in, the later designs from AoZ didn't get kits either until the Woundwort. I guess the hazels got dumpstered in sales or something

Has anyone used Epoxy putty to add on/reconstruct any parts, successfully? The GW blue/green gunk is worthless no matter what anyone says (tried, epic fail), and even the Tamiya epo putty never quite cures (I've been very careful of the ratios I used) and stays about as durable as old chewing gum.
