I saw on HLJ that both of these models have been discontinued. Has anyone else heard that, or can anyone confirm that?

Well, I know that HLJ usually says something like June Restock or something. What I saw for these two models was a skull & crossbones icon, and it said discontinued.

Scarry! ![:o](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/shocked.png) I don't think they'd do that though. Those kits are still selling, aren't they?

I know that a lot of people were complaining about the proportions of the GP01, but I don't know how well it did in sales. I thought the Strike was doing fairly well in sales. But if you think about it, how many Strike gundams are there? I mean models alone, you have the 1/144, 1/144 HG, 1/100 HG, 1/100 MG, 1/60 HG, 1/60 Striker weapons, and the PG.
But at first I also thought that HLJ meant that the models were out of production for right now, and that it would start up later in the year. But I was watching a PG Gp01 auction on Ebay, and the guy ended the auction early. I emailed him, and he stated that he found out the GP01 was out of production, so he decided to hold on to it.
Anyway, I don't know for sure. Let me know if you guys know anything.

www.bandai-plamo.net/schedule/index.htmlShipment schedules to retailers/wholesellers for the next who-knows-how-long (bout a week i guess?) I see quite a few MGs at the bottom but no Aile, though that might just be coming at another time of the month. The PG I assume are not shipped very often anyway, so this won't be a useful way to determine the status of the GP01.

Well, HLJ also has the RX-78 PG "discontinued" ( www.hlj.com/product/BAN60625 ), as well as the custom kits for that kit and the PG Zaku... anyone knows about these ones also? T_T I'm wondering how hard are them to get... ![:-/](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/undecided.png)

The custom kits for PG RX-78 and PG Zaku, I believe have been discontinued for a while. I never thought that they would discontinue any of the PG's though. Lets just hope that it doesn't mean gone forever. =\

Its just another reason for me to complain about Bandai. ![](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/Bazookafied/bandai.gif) But then again, who's going to give us great Gundam Model Kits?
