i remember this model kit in local hobby shop, it was on sale 30% off due to poor sales because no one really interested on this model then years passed still no one buys this kit, the shop owner decides to give it as a free kit after i buy 2 HG gunpla 😆, i think the reason it failed is because the plastic material, the assembly was too complex for kids, it has only single boring color, the model kit has an interesting concept modes if it was done in a good way but sadly the plastic material is a really bad choice 🙂
