GNW-001/hs-T01
Gundam Throne Eins Turbulenz
Just recent, I’ve mentioned about GNW-001/hs-T01 Gundam Throne Eins Turbulenz that’s making its appearance in the Gundam 00 manga; 00V
And now we have ourselves with actual images of its model-kit.

Will this kit be on your shopping list once it’s on sale?
Lastly some late bad news from me for all gunpla modelers if you haven’t heard of it yet. Bandai is planning to raise prices on its future Gundam merchandises. See the below extract from Gunota Headlines:
“ITmedia News reports Bandai is looking into a mark-up on the price of Gunpla. According to the news, the reason for this is a steep rise in the cost of materials as a result of high oil prices. When the change in pricing might occur, exactly what merchandise it will affect, and how much it will be is not known. Bandai’s PR department is quoted as saying, “The details haven’t been decided but there is a change in merchandise specifications which has added cost to new parts & booklets for Gunpla and we will be repricing.”
A week ago, Aoi Model Shop, a blog said to be run by an employee in a hobby shop on the outskirts of Akihabara, claimed there would be a 10-20% increase in HGUC and MG kit prices beginning around May. Oil prices were cited as the reason. Furthermore, the site said it looked as though old merchandise would also be marked up as it was reissued. As with the official news, it was said there were details yet to be settled.”
Is this impending price hike in the future gonna affect your interest and purchase in your collection of Gunplas?
As for myself, I’m gonna sit down and think carefully what are the past kits which I’ve have been contemplating to buy but have yet to do so first. Then, write them down on a piece of paper and probably go on a shopping spree to get them all in one shot before the price hike 
What will you guys plan to do on your side?
appreciated!!

Is it on sale as a real kit or a modification kit?I hope it’s a normal kit like the GN Arms…..
By the way.why do some variants only exist in 1/144 form(Eins Turbulenz) while some only exist in 1/100 form (Avalanche Exia)?They look werid when theier compiled then.They still made two 1/100 Astraea though(Even if they are different colours)
