Some may have heard that Goodsmile recently opened preorders for a second batch of the limited to 2,000 pieces 1/7 scale Dark Elf from the Korean Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Lineage II. 

An interesting move for Goodsmile to make, but in our opinion, we believe that Goodsmile will be announcing the release of their Human Mage from Lineage II. 

Can't believed I missed this, else I would've flew over there and covered it, but apparently Bandai held the Gundam over in Hong Kong from December 14 to January 8.

It seems it's part of Bandai's tour to promote themselves in other Asian countries.
