I must have been living under a rock for the past few days or weeks (God I hope it isn’t months) to not have noticed the trailer for Gundam 00 Season 2! Also, this is a pretty straightforward fanboy rundown of my Season 2 expectations.

Code Geass has just passed the halfway point with Episode 13 airing yesterday, so here’s an opinionated look at what has happened in the top half of the season, and one man’s expectations on what is to come.

Overview:
This was a kit I bought because it seemed like I was getting a bargain. I paid $15 CAD at a super-asian mall here in Toronto, which was decidedly cheaper than the $24 for 1/144 Gundams. I would’ve paid up to $20 for this at the time, since I just love the Flag design from Gundam 00, especially the colors on Graham’s custom Flag.

The Revoltech ARX-8 Laevatein is here! Well, almost here. August 15th seems to be the Japanese release date (Kaiyodo Online Store), and I will assume that September 30th is date most North American distributors get their hands on this (ToysLogic). As for costs, it’s ¥2590 (~$24.73 CAD) compared to $25.99 USD (~$26.31 CAD). Supposedly, the original price of the item from ToysLogic is $32.99 USD (it’s currently on sale, although how $26 for a 12cm toy which I can’t even build can be considered a sale is beyond me). Shipping from the States back to Canada is also quite expensive, but luckily purchases under $200 CAD do not require duties to be paid. Probably, buying directly from Japan will be the cheaper way. Plus, you get to have it earlier.

Overview:
I had a friend order this kit from HobbyLink Japan a little over a month ago, and it’s been sitting on the backburner until now. HLJ lists the current price as ¥2000, which amounts to roughly $18.97 (CAD). Regular international shipping will cost ¥800 – ¥900, which is another $8.50. Even with shipping, the product ends up being cheaper than most retail prices in North America (I saved 25%).

After many years of careful planning and design, I have crafted blueprints for a working, life-sized Gundam.
