Yepp... I don't have the necessary Gundam cred to adequately maintain and translate this series. If anyone else wants to have a go, be my guest.

Edit: Guess I do now. Huh, bit funny looking back at this. TL-ing this series has made me far more... informed on Gundam matters. I pretty much went through a journey similar to that for G. Boy's.

I'm not sure why but when I first saw the pools name my mind automatically assumed it said G-String instead of G-Spring.

Finally done with the TL and the tagging and all that annotation... phew... most of them are from side stories and/or obscure sequels too.

It certainly looks like a wish list of someone wanting to see the obscure MS to be made into a kit, and I kinda agree, we don't need another goddamn Unicorn variant

The list does make sense though, Mercurius and Vayeate Suivant just need a few more runners for another p-bandai release and they've been doing G-unit stuff. Some of the runners on Momokapool are listed as just Kapool parts instead. Anchor should happen eventually given how crossbones sold(glad Hasegawa shenanigans are over for now). Gustav Karl(novel/light) wouldn't be too unexpected given the movie releases. The ground gundam master grade is over 2 decades old at this point and could do with a 2.0 or some other update. As for Blue Gunvoy, it's SD so no idea on the reasoning behind that prediction.

My sure-fire prediction though? More AOZ and F90 packs. L.O booster for Geminass, probably Greipe and Aesculapius as well. Project pale rider doesn't seem to be over yet either.

Speaking of, now that you mentioned Momo's... is G-Spring Goddess' pick supposed to be a Gundam ZZ/Unicorn Capule or a Turn-A Kapool?

The way it's written is Turn-A ZZ isn't it? Then again the Momokapool is well...a Kapool.

And sure enough, they just announced F90 W type today.
It's both hilarious and awesome they came up with the idea of introducing 26 packs for the milking potential

Wait, there's a difference?

*Checks*

Huh, ZZ/Unicorn Capules are written カプール with the long "puu", while Turn-A and Diver-Momo's Kapools are written カプル with a short "pu".

Well, that seems like how they are supposed to be spelled, especially in official sources, but a lot of fans don't really seem to be able to tell the difference either, with short カプル for ZZ/Unicorn ones and sometimes even long カプール even for Momo's like in モモカプール.

Since Ishiyumi-sensei knows their stuff well, I guess it's supposed to be a ZZ Capule.

(Personally speaking though, by this point I'm tempted to just call ALL OF THEM "Carpools".)

Think the character (G-Forest Goddess?) who made that pick is a hardcore SD Gundam maniac. She's one of the more reasonable goddesses, but when given a chance she will start ranting non-stop about SD stuff.

Fits with her SD assets t—*KLONK*

I don't think it'll be anytime soon, they still haven't done the Phantom/Ghost. I'd say that's more likely considering it's in Maxi Boost, while Anchor hasn't gotten any appearances outside of the manga yet

Corrected the RX-79[G] Ground Gundam from 08th MS Team to the Grand Gundam (from G Gundam, an entirely different series). You can see one of its distinctive horns poking above the speech bubble that introduces it, as well as the hood structure behind its head, neither of which appear on the Ground Gundam.

FWIW, my dream kit is an RG Xeku Zwei, although I'd be satisfied with an HG (dream on...)

Oopsie~! Thanks for bringing this up.

And, um, G-Earth Goddess? Please don't kill me.

Actually there's one, Anchor was released as a freebie unit in Gundam breaker mobile to celebrate Crossborn's final volume.

Huh, didn't know about that one and I kinda forgot that game existed tbh. That's cool then

Alright, Leo S first. That does make sense chronologically and Leos generally sold well due to 90s nostalgia Wing wankers.
