The store in HK that I deal with has them on pre-order for $21.00. Has there been a review of this kit yet?

For the guys that may ask what's HK stand for "LOL" it's "Hong Kong". The kit look ok just some things added to the first kit. I'll look around to see if its on any of the US based web sites.

Hi folks,

Just found this:

http://www.mmzone.co.kr/mda/docview.php?id=179

Which is a bunch of detailed pictures of the molded on antislip plus details on the extra "LIC" sprue (mainly the figures). It also looks like one is still able to build the old kit as they left all the pieces (side skirt mainly).

It also looks like a small App for the i-devices could be downloaded which seems to be a step-by-step how-to-build and paint: for anybody out there that maybe korean or fluent in korean, would it be possible to please explain how to download it (my only guess is that it comes from a qrcode on th box)?

Your guess is correct, Nicola. The relevant sentence says that there is a QR Code on the box, which can be scanned with your smart phone, and it provides a link to assembly information and tutorials.
The anti-slip coating does not look bad at all. Thanks for posting.
