Questions
Question
when restock
Answer
This is a vintage kit (actually THE original Gunpla first released in 1980) and while it's one of the most common to see reprints of, it can also be multiple years longer than a normal kit, so while it's 100% going to be coming back at some point it's still going to be a good while. If you want something with the same vintage design, check out the Best Mecha Collection Gundam, which copies the physical appearance and size of this kit almost one-to-one (like, REALLY closely) with the added benefits of full color separation with no stickers, slightly better and more stable articulation, and Entry-Grade style parts and assembly
