We got like 4 Strikes, ridiculous number of Zaku and RX-78 recolors, etc. I wonder if people even bought the Titans Gundam Mark II 2.0 as much, but they still released it.
    If it's Universal Century, it will sell. No kit in the HGUC or MG UC lines has to my knowledge failed to return a profit (though some obviously far more than others). The Marasai for example sold quite well this year (as did the Banshee). The Zeon Remnants Marasai will probably get a limited web release (with Feyadeen Rifle and Sea Serpent) in afew months, or maybe a general release since it'll probably sell well enough.

    SEED does pretty well too (minus the VS Astray kits I guess).

    1/144s are always safe and plentiful (plus mostly cheap, outside of the RGs).

    1/100 is the premier line though; anything from... I guess let's ballpark it around 2002 and beyond is probably safe too in terms of panel lines and seams (unincorporated into panel lines or intentional seperation). I'd use Dalong to research and see where you'd feel comfortable starting. For the most part, MGs are basicly proper removal from the trees, removing nubs, and proper preparation (for painting, etc.) and assembly.

    You can also try the old 1/144s and 1/100s prior to the MG and HGUC lines (they're kits from when said series originally aired); those are more of a challenge though and will likely require seam-filling or usage of putty to correct flaws. Bandai's modern Gunpla lines make every other manufacturer look kinda derpy; plastic quality is probably universally better (though afew of the military model makers are catching up there) and ease of assembly.. well, no one's touching them there.

    Besides a lot of Zoids kits, they were easy as shit, the only gunpla I had were a mg or hg RX78 and a HG EW heavyarms. I believe the RX78 was the 1.0 and I fucked it up back then..pretty badly. The Heavyarms was alright, but still looked like shit w/o paint. I ended up trashing them 2 years ago. Obviously I know what the hell to do now.

    If you still have them, it'd be a good idea to keep them around to practice weathering and shit on. The 1.0 for the RX-78 was so bad, lol. It's still good enough to serve you as technique test object though.

    Do you still have those gatling guns from that 1/100 EW Heavyarms Kai? If you do, and you ever think you might want to try Gunpla again, hang onto them (you can easily convert the MG EW Heavyarms into the Kai).

    Hobby Linc is pretty good as far as paints go in the US (if I can't get something through them, HLJ or Rainbow10, etc.)

    So the Ver. Ka. is a blend of the Evolve version's panel lines and the original MG lineart (which is what the Gundam Front G-DOME display is I guess, and is related to the Ver. Ka.). The Sazabi Ver. Ka. (presumptive name) is probably going to look like the G-DOME display too, then.

    I guess the defacto Nu Gundam 2.0 will include the Sazabi's cockpit pod as a "bonus" part; looks like they're also going to include the Psycho Frame material in both cockpits too (probably just clear green plastic). Nu's funnels will have some effect parts or something like the Hi-Nu did (no pyramid shield).



    As you can see, the Ver. Ka. basicly has addressed the lolbig head, abdomen and shoulders of the original Nu (which wasn't even close to the lineart). That said, i'll just follow the original color scheme over the Ver. Ka. (under the chest exhaust).




    Since we have some idea of what a presumptive Sazabi Ver. Ka. would look like, you can compare it to the upper body of the 1.0. The Studio Reckless versions of the Sazabi and Nu are probably the closest I can think of (excluding details) to what we've seen prior to these Ver. Ka.s. I also fully expect a modern shield mount too, on each.

    UC Episode 6 is going to mark another OST release; reportedly it'll be 8 new songs.

    Likely all guaranteed:
    Theme for the General Revil.
    Probably something for the Republic of Zeon.
    A theme for the Full Armor Unicorn.
    And a second theme for Marida (likely titled "Ple Twelve" or something). It'll assuredly be different from "Marida" for certain reasons.

    Possibility for the Tri-Stars to get one too, since they're catching a ride with the Banshee up into space and play an active role in things to come; Riddhe's theme will probably be used in Ep. 6 (despite being introduced on the 3rd OST). "Neo Zeon" will probably be used too.
