"Physically impossible"? How do you figure? They would just have to sell all three variants of Impulse in the same box. It's not like MSiA three packs are unprecedented or even lacking from the SEED Destiny line, either- the EA Gundams got one via the "Deactive set phase 3G" release.

3G and Impulse/Saviour were limited giftsets. That's different from making every Impulse kit released part of an expensive 3-piece box set, which simply isn't economic.

Making most Strike figures include the three main packs, in comparison, is much cheaper.

TOPIC REVIVE!!! Well sorta...the news isn't really all that exciting since it's just a bunch of repaints...

MSiA Zudah - unit 2, 1,680 yen
MSiA Zudah - backup unit, 1,680 yen
EMSiA Gelgoog - mass production type, 2,100 yen

I would've been more excited if it was more 00 stuff. I mean there's still the Union MS, the AEU MS and a few more Tierens to do. Plus it seems like they're not even trying to make new figures with the EMSIA line anymore. The last three have all been repaints with a few different accessories. Guess it's just Bandai being Bandai again...

Back to Hobbes' idea, I think selling MSIA/EMSIAs in 2 or 3 packs would actually be pretty cool. Plus they could sell off older figures or repaints of them along with newer stuff. There's so many things you could do. A couple I think would be awesome:

Cagalli Set: Strike Rouge w/ IWSP and Aile Striker and Owashi Akatsuki
Orb Grunt Set: M1 Astray with Shrike Pack and Murasame
Rau Le Creuset Set: White CGUE, White GuAIZ and Providence
Gundam X Team: X w/ Divider option, Leopard, Airmaster
Gundam X Upgrades: Double X, Leopard Destroy, Airmaster Burst
UC Lead Hero Set I: Gundam, Zeta, ZZ
UC Lead Hero Set II: Nu, F91, Victory 2
UC Lead Hero Set III: Alex, Ez8, GP-01 Full Vernian

I'm sure there's plenty more I could think of, but those are off the top off my head.

Why Abicion thinks it's "physically impossible" is beyond me. A little unrealistic, maybe, but how hard is it "physically" to package multiple MSIA/EMSIAs in the same box?

No pictures, but some pretty interesting news bits regarding MSIA/EMSIAs and their future....
Quote:
 
The five repaint figures that make up the Sept/Oct MSiA lineup (Zudahs, Gelgoogs, and G-3) are an Operation Star One merchandising tie-in. The packages of the figures will make an Operation Star One diorama graphic when put together.

A sign on display at the event featuring the silhouettes of the 00 Gundam and Union Flag Custom II had the following notice: "This Fall, the In Action line will change?! Details to be announced on Tamashii Web in or after July." In all caps: "GUNDAM ACTION FIGURE FULLMODEL CHANGE".

I guess that's explains the lack of "new" releases from the MSIA/EMSIA line...

The announcement is that the proportions for the 00 MSiAs will finally stop sucking ass.

Plus they're allegedly using better plastics or something.
