    Probably my first pic for WFM kits that shouldn't be P-Bandai. Maybe with the rise of Gunpla Option Sets they'll get a standalone retail release.

      Bro I agree they already had option sets so why make this premium
      Also prologue and manga pbandai makes somewhat sense and fine I can justify gundnode but the garrison should never have been premium
      It’s the *only* wfm combat grunt to not be retail
      To boot it even appeared more in the show than the others

      P-Bandai releases will always stay a P-Bandai release. Only time a P-Bandai release gets a retail release is when it's planned from the beginning to be released outside of Japan as a retail release while at the same time staying a Japanese P-Bandai release. This only has happened to a few kits.

    @MrDarksol 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I'm still disappointed that these in particular were PB exclusives when these should have just been regular releases because all they are just upgrades to existing model kits. You cannot believe how mad I was when I found out that these were PB exclusives to already existing mobile suits one of which was already selling really well. Sigh thank god for cheap option sets I guess.
