...Master Grade? Is this a special release of model kit, or something?

Somthing like that. Master Grade kits have alot more pieces to them and are much more detailed than your regular 1/100 model kit. They are also harder to put togeather and are more expensive.

Hi-Zack (a better one...)
Where did Bandai go wrong? It looked fairly solid from the pictures, yet then again, I haven't built the kit...

Gelgoog Marine
They already did I thought. I mean Gato's is a Marine type right? And I want to know about the Hi-Zacks flaws as well since I thought about getting it.

I just don't think it's detailed enough. I haven't built one myself though, but from all the pictures I've seen, it doesn't stack up well against other MG suits.

I don't know which suits have already received the treatment, but the Gabthley wins by a long shot for me. Best suit in Zeta, IMO...

The designs look fairly similar, but the Marine adopts a more "modernized" tone. It also comes equipted with 90mm machine gun, beam sabers (opposed to the twin beam saber), and a knuckle shield (which is pretty much a regular Zaku shield, inverted, with spikes on the top instead of the side). It also carries two rod-like fuel tanks on its back.

Wait a sec.. Master Grade?

Price isn't that bad for what you get..
but yeah, we need more PG Kits.. A PG Sazabi would be nice..

Gundam F91
and Gundam X
I only buy MG, so I am crossing my fingers for those two.
Hayaku Shiki. Oh and there has been a Hyakushiki MG for years

Beautiful.
But I'd rather have the Double X over the plain old X. And the Harlock-esque Crossbone Gundam.

Price isn't that bad for what you get..True but the quality of MG models have improved alot
but yeah, we need more PG Kits.. A PG Sazabi would be nice..I think the MG Sazabi is enough. Its alot bigger than other MG and I'm not just talking about height. Also the detail is great almost as good as a PG model. Theres some nit picks with it but its still a great kit.
For those wondering to can find almost all the MG made here (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/shop_right_e.asp?Bno=2592612&Typ1_c=109&Typ2_c=180&Typ3_c=678&SC=75&Spage=1&ItKey=&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&sort_sort=0&urikire=1&Typ=#10031483)

Perfect grade kits have electronic wiring that you need to do yourself
it can drive you crazy
not to mention they are made outta the same cheap-o plastic the regular Gundam Models are contructed out of.
More small parts that can break and are impossable to glue, 100+ bucks wasted, Bandai wins!
Seriously they need the same plastic that Zoids are constructed out of, that stuff is way more sturdy
not to mention Zoids of the same price-range as the MG kits are way bigger
and the Zoids in the PG price range are HUGE
The Ultrasaurus, Deathsaurer, and King Gojulas all tower above the biggest PG Modle

Is Bandai cutting down with the amount of screws in the MG kits? Strike Gundam only contained two I believe, and Freedom none. A model like the Ez-8 utilized a dozen or more.

No clue they could be cutting back.
