I would, given that Bandai has been very protective with their Gundam
product lines, and both LEGO and Bandai has been heading toward the same
direction in the last few year w.r.t. their construction toys/models. Bandai's
models are very easy to build if you are not gona paint it. A Master Grade
Gundam kit is as easy to build as any large size LEGO technic set. Mean while
LEGO's new lines are heading toward less generic, model specific pieces. A
LEGO Galidor set looks almost like a Bandai model set, you just don't need to
cut the pieces off the tree.
Why would Bandai let LEGO make Gundam stuff when they have the same
top-of-the-line injection technology?
