still hasn't posted anything, are there going to be any Gundam figures this
year or did Bandai screw the pooch by focusing on the other lines?

It's official Gundam is toys are dead in the US. I can always tru
Chinatown, but the prices are steep.

Gundams from the Arch Enemy series since they were buy one get one half
price . ie 6.88 plus 3.44 or 10.32 plus tax

You want to know something weird? My household belongs to a consumer survey. I
bought a Noble Gundam figure from Target several months ago when Target was
having a sale (I also bought two model kits, also probably from G-Gundam). It
was the last one in the store and I thought they'd never issue it again.
Bandai has since reissued the figure TWICE!
Well, one of the whims I had when I bought the figure was to pose it beating up
the Monsha GM Custom figure I also have. I guess I could buy another and mod it
into the "Dorothy Catalonia Special" Gundam seen in the Gundam Wing manga Omake
strips.

This report isn't totally accurate, cause when I went to the Bandai
showroom, there was a presenter and it failed to mention that there was
stuff shown that the US market has not gotten yet, like the Blitz and
GINN MSiA's. It ignores the new Golden Frame Astray in the press kit,
(maybe they just didn't bother to read i)t.
While there wasn't much shown, we are apperently still going to get the
majority of stuff shown at Toy Fair last year, as long as the store
buyers decide to pick it up. Gundam was mentioned in the press
releases, and if the line was dead, that wouldn't have happened, nor
would there even had been a section devoted to it in the press kit.
There wouldn't have even been a room devoted to Gundam, as Bandai has
limited space in the show room.
Great parrell example here, SD Gundam. That line is now done with, so
there was no press info.
So much for being "offical" that it was dead. :p

Thanks for the info. My guess is that only KB's is interested in Gundam
since it's the only place to find the Archenemy Strike Gundam.
But who knows TRU still has Gundam stuff even though I hardly give it
much thought since it's G Gundam and I think Bandai used to have some
deal with them way back when.
