That's interesting, because I didn't even know there were english language distributers of Gundam models. All the one's I've ever gotten (including the Wing ones from 10 years ago) have always been in Japanese only. That and they probably don't wanna wait for the english release anyway, and most of them seem to have connections elsewhere to get Japanese models for cheap.
I go to that shop at least once a week to check out what's new in Anime merchandises. What bites is that whenever I look for the 00 Gundam model kit in stores while planning to spend an afternoon or evening building an Anime model, that item keeps selling out like I was being beaten in some race. I hope that the SD scale of this will come soon.
Although it's strange that the Montreal Anime stores keep ordering getting the Mecha Anime-based model kits from Japan as opposed to from North American licensers, I manage to know how to connect the parts just by watching the illustration sin the manual. Speaking of which, it's been long since America's Bandai sold any "Gundam" model kits with English and French instructions.
