Meteor and White Base Re-Released?

Posted by A at 1:28 PM | View All 1 Comments | Post a Comment

A Gundam SEED Destiny repaint of the Meteor with new figures will be released in September, according to HobbyLink Japan. Pictures from a Japanese toy show are below, originally posted on the Japanese site MS IN ACTION!! SYNDROME.

That same toy show featured a "new" version of the 1/400 scale White Base, though it appears to be just a repaint with the same Gundam, Guncannon and exclusive Guntank figures. It was supposed to come out in August, but I have not read any more about it... does anyone know more about this?

    I've really been wanting to get my hands on the 1/400 WB! Awesome site! Keep up the great work!

Gundam Collection NEO 2 and DX3

Posted by A at 1:07 PM | View All 1 Comments | Post a Comment

Some details are finally starting to appear on various Japanese websites about NEO Vol.2 and DX3. NEO 2 is expected to be released in October, and will be the first set to include figures from Gundam Wing. There has been no release date annouced for DX3, but December is likely, and the set is rumored to include all five of the "main character" Gundams from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, as suggested by this frustratingly small picture from a Japanese toy show.

Here are lists of the known figures, according to a couple sites citing Hobby Japan:

Gundam Collection NEO 2:
  1. Rick Dom (poseable)
  2. Ball
  3. Zogok (MSV)
  4. Gaza-C (Zeta Gundam)
  5. Bolinoak Samaan (Zeta Gundam)
  6. Strike Freedom Gundam (poseable) (Gundam Seed Destiny)
  7. Destiny Gundam (GSD)
  8. Blaze ZAKU Phantom (GSD)
  9. Blast Impulse Gundam (GSD)
  10. Taurus (Gundam Wing)
  11. Taurus Mobile Doll (GW)
  12. Serpent (GW Endless Waltz)
  13. Shining Gundam (G Gundam)
  14. Nobel Gundam (G Gundam)
Gundam Collection DX3:
  1. Wing Zero Custom (Gundam Wing Endless Waltz)
  2. Devil Gundam Final Form (G Gundam)

Big Zam Released

Posted by A at 12:04 PM | View All 0 Comments | Post a Comment

The 1/400 scale Big Zam has been released, and can be ordered from HobbyLink Japan, eBay and other sites. The figure looks amazing, perhaps the most-detailed Big Zam figure we've seen in any scale, and it comes with the Gundam, G-Armor, and Core Booster. It's about time we got a Core Booster, now if only they'd make a Type 61 tank... The Gundam is poseable, and both the G-Armor and Core Booster have removable "battle-damaged" cockpits with Big Zam's toes stuck in them. ;-)

Mine is in the mail, I'll post pictures when it arrives and I get it built.

War in the Pocket... dedicated to Bandai's 1/400 scale Gundam Collection

Posted by A at 11:00 AM | View All 1 Comments | Post a Comment

The goal of this blog is to provide an English-language resource for fans of Bandai's 1/400 scale "Gundam Collection" figures. I plan to provide news about upcoming releases, catalog pictures of the older figures, and hopefully provide a way for the many English-speaking Gundam Collection fans around the world to buy, sell and trade their figures.

The site will also play host to a set of miniature wargaming rules I am developing for the Gundam Collection figures. The game is similar to Warhammer, Battletech or any of the other popular table-top strategy games.

    SWEET! Long time fan of the G Colle, but haven't really gotten any since DX1.
    Do you have a copy of the rule book published by Dengiki?
