[@owensimpson7895]

I think that the Full Mechanics line is basically the successor to RE/100. Bandai does seem to prefer doing that line now over Master Grade.

[@wulf8889]

But even the FM line don't get new stuff much.... The last entirely new mold FM was the Aerial..

[@CollinandBri]

The Full mechanics is the AU equivalent of RE/100. All the FM suits are AU suits coming from IBO, Seed, and WFM. The RE/100 line is all UC and frankly the only other suit I could see coming out for it is maybe the Kshatriya but everything else is probably either too big or complex

[@DX16]

They do MG ver Ka, MG EX, MG SD... but yeah, the classic MG are gone

[@draketheduelist]

​@@DX16 What really gets me is how near pointless this makes the MG Barbatos. The entire point of that kit wasn't just representing IBO's signature suit in the line / proportion, but to reuse the inner frame across any and all all future MG IBO kits (except Hashmal, of course; I've come to terms with how we'd sooner get a 1/100 Devil Gundam...) they want in the future because that's how those suits were designed to work in universe. No Ryusego. No Galbaldy. No Gusion. No Bael. And of course, no Lupus Rex. Not even a Graze. I thought there was going to be an entire IBO annual series, sort of analogous to the Celestial Being MGs of 00 that ended with the Virtue. Sad 1/100 panda. At least the RGs are good. Then again, when was the last really good RG? God Gundam? I saw a recolored Force Impulse. If that counts, that's sad.

[@johnathonlee7053]

@@draketheduelistI heard the RG Epyon that released recently was good. But I agree, I’m disappointed that MG IBO has basically been shelved. I also don’t think the FM IBO kits get reprints very often seeing as how when I do find one for sale it’s always $100+.

[@Saved_Sinner0085]

I loved the concept behind RE/100: simpler kits with MG level surface detail and proportions, of MS that were too obscure or too big to get full MG releases. The Nightingale was released beside the Hi Nu ver Ka and the Zaku 2 Kai next to the ALEX 2.0. Bandai doesn't give the fans what they want anymore.

[@albertko1]

These kits were meant to be regular release kits too... Good luck finding a Bawoo or GP04 though. They reprinted the Dijeh finally but it sold out fast and it was the same with the Efreet. It's funny that due to P Bandai releasing the ReBawoo and Lindwurm, you can more effectively get a Bawoo that way if you have access to P-Bandai.

[@maweitao]

I also was a fan but I remember people complaining that RE/100s were just oversized HGs. If only they knew where the hobby was headed. Development costs for a new MG must be high relative to sales and I suspect RE/100s were meant to be the solution to that problem. It didn't pan out so instead we get P-Bandai, high grades and a MG yearly if we're lucky.

[@pretzel1313]

The fans apparently prefer higher quality 1/144 models. I personally love 1/100 and especially loved the Re/100 line, and I've enjoyed the two NG 1/100 IBO kits I've built. I'm a sucker for simple, big kits.

[@swordimpulse07]

I remember when the GP04G retailed for $35.

[@Saved_Sinner0085]

@@albertko1 they will reprint them all, it's just a matter of time. The Nightingale and Dijeh just got redone this year, the Zaku II Kai, Vigna Ghina, and Efreet got a reprint in 2023. I am betting the GP04, Bawoo, and Hamma Hamma will be within the next 18 months or so.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

Im glad 3rd party companies are stepping up to the task.

[@nekodegozaru951]

3:55 I'm guessing that Bandai has multiple bagging machines in their production line and that uses different methods to seal the bags. Most probably some are older (hard to open ones) and some are newer (the easy to open ones). They probably still use the older ones that they have because it still does it's job of sealing the bag. Most likely is that they bag the runners in batches and it just depends which machined were used to bag that batch of runners. It also makes sense in terms of production speed and efficiency. The reason I thought of this is I was building 3 HG Calibarns at the same time (I am was doing a painting commission) and I noticed that in one of the boxes, the same runners were bagged differently compared to the other 2 boxes. Not that it really matters to me. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", as they say.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

That sounds quite logical.

[@SamRK-1000]

It’s really just to be cost-effective. They have all the machines and different bag materials, so why not use them? They paid for them already. Try an AMT model kit, you’ll get a least 3 different kinds of bags! Ones with holes, ones that are cross-press sealed, and ones that have the simpler seal!

[@volatile5460]

Non-grade 1/100 is created so bandai can make more 1/100 scale kits faster and cheaper. It dies a few years later. Reborn 1/100 is created so bandai can make more 1/100 scale kits faster and cheaper. It dies a few years later. Full Mechanics 1/100 is created so bandai can make more 1/100 scale kits faster and cheaper…

[@Shadow96532]

4:50 that’s Char’s insignia, if I’m not mistaken it’s supposed to be “CD” for Char Deikun, which was the name he took during Char’s Counterattack.

[@jaaldecrga4470]

IIRC it's supposed to stand for Casval Deikun

[@Shadow96532]

That would work too, I just checked the wiki and the Char Deikun alias was only used in the novels, so yeah it’s probably Casval Deikun my bad

[@galaxycamerata]

I mean, this IS a mobile suit from the novels, so it probably does stand for Char Deikun, just specifically if it's on the Nightingale.

[@wingedswordslayer]

The "CD" insignia only shows up on the Nightingale if I remember, although the other insignia shows up on all the CCA-era Char suits; the Sazabi ,the Dijeh Char Custom and its successor unit, theTraversia, both from MSV-R.

[@galaxycamerata]

@@wingedswordslayer It shows up pretty consistently on the Sazabi in the film, reference material, and the model kit sticker sheets and water-transfer decals.

[@probablychuuni]

This was my first experience with the pre-molded hands and I hated them ever since. It can hold the beam heat hawk fine, but putting the rifle on was such a terrible experience because the fingers kept falling off when trying to position the. Also, it's been a few years since I've built mine and you're right about the polycaps. It can't keep its arm up when holding the shield or rifle anymore since they're too heavy

[@venomouslizards]

This kit is a brick, but it is a brick that looks fantastic. I built it recently and do not regret it. The only main issues is that the hands can’t hold its gun and it doesn’t have the sub arms.

[@MahriKing14]

Last year a Gunpla selling webstore I regularly shop at got both HG and RE/100 Nightingales to tier selection at the same time. At first I thought going with the latter because of the imressive size, but then I looked up reviews and comparisons and decided that the HG would be more enjoyable.

[@SamRK-1000]

The HG has so much more to play with, as well as tighter and sleeker proportions, and a lot more articulation. Both models are fairly unruly, but the RE/100 needs some sticky tack to keep the wing binders in place, the peg there likes to loosen or fall off and I can’t have a giant piece of plastic jumping off and CLATTERING off my high shelf onto the ground and breaking!

[@fusion_rev]

Even the high grade is huge for me. I wouldn't know where I'm gonna store the re1/100 if i got it

[@Gay_Priest]

It needs its own room, almost

[@SamRK-1000]

I have the RE/100, safe to say my space for models has significantly decreased since then loool. I put the Nightingale on top of my desk hutch (my desk has shelves attached to it that go most of the way up to my ceiling) and most Mg’s can’t even fit in between the shelves when I put them on an action base! I just stick to high grade now, MG is great and all but it’s so expensive for just one model. I prefer to have a lot to build, then disassemble them and kitbash them or paint them.

The last actual RE 100 kit Bandai made is the MSN-03 Gyunei Guss's Jagd Doga (Special Coating) which was a Gundam Side-F exclusive. 3:56 From what I understand, the different bags they use is depending on if it was package by hand or by automation. 9:06 I'm surprised that this RE 100 uses the MG 3.0 style hands. I regularly hear that these are problematic. 9:38 You can use Google Translate's live translating feature using your phone camera. 9:53 Unless I am mistaken, Japanese newspapers are also done in the 'western' style so I guess it makes sense. 10:32 I think that it would be nice to see this compared to the HGUC version as well as any other RE 100 kit(s) you have.

I know the pandemic and stuff really hurt gundam enough to slow new master grades to a crawl, but it really is so sad to see only two or three new master grade kits a year. We're in a golden age of extremely good high grades, but that 1/100 itch just isn't being scratched as often anymore, and when it is its with a expensive Ver. Ka (those are still absolutely beautiful tho). The frame for stuff like more Iron Blooded Orphans gundam frames or new Seed kits is already there, but Bandai refuses to reach out and sieze the opportunity :(

If you're willing to go 3rd party, the same company that made the amazing GP02A MG is making an RG Nightingale for release June 2. It looks like it's based on the Artifact sculpt of the MS. We're not sure about the scale but I'm hoping it pairs well in size to the RG HiNu

As someone who is only about a year into building gunpla, Bandai's approach to 1/100 models confuse me.

Now it seems like Bandai does everything they can to avoid making new and unique Master Grades. But gunpla builders seem to really like the MG line. The couple new MG kits this year probably sold well. I'm sure sales for the existing kits are still strong.
