MegaBloks announced the license for Mobile Suit Gundam on their Japanese
website today. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise to me, considering
they’ve had Power Rangers for a while, not to mention a few other anime
properties, so they’ve got a relationship with Bandai that Lego doesn’t
have.
The main announcement is here:

Wow, those are nice! I was expecting some Knights Kingdom style POOP-figures,
but these look like they’re totally brick-built. Are they going to be
available outside of Japan?

At least one of the members of the Bloks Forum
avidly pursues Mega Bloks sets chiefly available in Asia, and I’m sure that
he’ll put himself on the case as soon as he gets wind of it. Stop by that forum
from time to time for the latest news that he (and the rest of us Mega Bloks
fans can dredge up!)
Hard to say for sure that MEGA Brands Inc will do--some of the Bandai stuff
makes it to North America, but some doesn’t. I’m guessing that there’s enough
of a market in the US that they might consider releasing them here, especially
since they don’t currently have any new sets in their Blok-Bots line.
Very cool news! I’m not even a big fan of the Anime series, but I love the
designs.
Dave!
