Mar-09-2001 - HG RX-78-2 Gundam Production Pending Cancellation(taken from Gundam.com)

The high grade version of the RX-78-2 Gundam is pending cancellation due to deterioration of the mold used to produce the model kit. Gundam Perfect Web has clearly stated that over time, the longevity of these casts or molds to create the plastic parts grow short due to usage of an absolete kit creation process. With new forms of model kit production technology spawning from experiences learned from creating HG kits, Bandai will continue to create new kits. What type of kits these are, are currently unknown. There will be a HG RX-78-2 Gundam "retirement ceremony" made to celebrate the closing of this particular model kit's production run. Also, sometime in the spring time, a final production run will be released in some sort of special packaging.
