Destiny Gundam
Coming out this November from Bandai is the 1/144 scale High Grade Destiny Gundam. I dont have any HG models in my collection and have never really been too keen on them - they are aimed at two completely different audiences - one is the school kid (aged 10) who doesn't have too much money to throw around ( and generally doesn't have the skill or finances to make models and just end up snapping the pieces together without painting). The other target of the HG series is funnily enough the expert modeler - they find challenge in making these small scale models look good by making or buying custom joints, carving pieces off here and there and what have you - definitely not for busy people! ;-)
