MG Trans-am Raiser - October Release, 6825 Yen [Bandai Hobby Online Exclusive] - Updated!

A new extraordinary Gundam Kit has been happily and saddly announce: MG Trans-Am Raiser. It is a color alternate version for 00 Raiser that many of us have been waiting since it appeared in Gundam 00 S2, but unfortunately it will be not available outside Japan.

Bandai Hobby Online is a Badai's oficial online store where exlusive and rare items are reserved and later sold. The problem is that for registering it is needed a japanese address and some other personal data that only a  japanese resident would be able to give. It means that for us overseas it won't be so easy to get.

I think that if we have Exia, Exia Ignition Mode and Exia Trans-am, all of them available for every one around the world, why should be Trans-am Raiser limited just for Japan and just once? One think I always loved about Gundam Kits is that most of them were being sold regularly no matter how old were they, so that if one missed one of them one would be able to buy it later. One-time-sold exclusive items do not follow that ideal,  making harder to get those especial models.

At least 00 Raiser is easy to pull, but Trans-am Raiser would be nice to have next to it. Something is sure, if I have the chance to buy it, I will do it.
