Not in the face of a 15,000 yen PG W0C or 20,000 yen PG Zeta... 10,000 yen
is peanuts for a GP03D, even if it's just 1/220. I think the only thing
holding them back is the shortage of movable joints on the damn thing.
With the GP03D, you got a few opening doors/sliding trays and the arm,
and that's pretty much it. Bandai's probably fearful that people won't
dig it due to the shortage of gimmicky features.

I can't wait for a blueprint kit of the Dendrobium for the MG kit like
the 1/144 one they had...
