Bandai Spirits is kind of doing a slow roll in releasing HGAC kits. We already have three Gundams, with one more coming out the next month, as well as a couple of grunt suits. I also believe that both Vayeate and Mercurius are popular enough designs to get retail kits. Which is why I'm dumbfounded … Continue reading Why are these Premium Bandai? HGAC Vayeate & Mercurius
