At every hobby industry show in Japan for the last three years, I have been begging the Bandai people to do a Master Grade Sazabi, which is probably my favorite mecha of all time from the Gundam universe. I still cannot believe it has finally happened!

There is nothing to complain about here at all. The kit looks great and includes everything you would expect it to. Even the little attack pods that mount on the back launchers have individually opening panels! Well, if there is one bad thing about this kit, it may be its size. True to the Master Grade series, it is a 1/100 kit, and with this mecha that means it's almost 26cm (over 10 inches!) high when completed. The box is the same size as the Perfect Grade Gundam, and weighs 1.3kg. That means that shipping of this to Canadian and European addresses is about 5000 yen by SAL Parcel (because we cannot ship it by small packet; depending on your location, EMS may be cheaper than SAL). But trust me, it's worth it for an item this impressive on your Gundam shelf!
