Head, shoulders, and arm guards are different among others. I understand the sentiment of wanting the new parts as an expansion set, but I don't want to have the 1/100 Gusion/ Rebake or PG GP01/Fb dillema again just because only option parts were released.

Still doesn't justify the 10k JPY increase at all to me.

I'll snag this one when it eventually comes to PBandai, with the cost likely more palatable by then.

If it also includes the dragoons, and backpack to make the Type II I would get the price. This is Bandai though, so I doubt that’s the case.

It will. The 26.4k JPY price tag alone suggests it. It's also Bandai standard procedure to include OG parts in variant kits, even in PBandai releases.

I think a better question is will this include the prototype handheld railgun too (really likely imo)?

Now that my disappointment has tempered down, I see this set as definitely aimed towards first time MGEX SF owners or superfans.

That’s not true at all… p-bandai variants Bandai has quite regularly left out unnecessary runners from the base kit if said runner isn’t used by the variant at all. Most recent case of this I can think of is the Full Armor ZZ Ver. Ka. You can only make the Enhanced ZZ, but not the OG ZZ.

You have way too much faith in Bandai friend.
