Toss the Dagger by Chris 8:27 P.M. EST
Today's relatively brief update involves two items. First, there's a new section entitled BEE-CRAFT Illustrations & Variations. Thanks go out to Psycho_Al for cleaning them up, with extra thanks to all those that scanned the lineart. Second, there's a new picture and profile in the SEED section for the Strike Dagger, which seems to be the SEED equivalent of the GM. Thanks go out to Neo-Era for finding it and Al for cleaning it up. UPDATE: A second, bigger pic of the Strike Dagger has been submitted by Dave Skinner.

Bandai Bits by Chris 1:25 P.M. EST
In an attempt to clear up confusion about the situation regarding Z Gundam, I spoke briefly with Jerry Chu on the matter. According to Jerry, Zeta Gundam and Gundam F91 are still moving forward as the next Gundam releases, along with Superior Defender. There has been much fan speculation on a delay to Zeta Gundam, but Jerry says there is no such delay. While there is obviously no release date set for any of these three yet, watch this space for more news as soon as it's available.

The SEED Remains the Same by Chris 12:25 A.M. EST
I've got quite a few items in today's SEED mecha update. First off, I've updated the profiles for the Freedom Gundam and Justice Gundam with weapons translations courtesy of Mark Simmons on the GML. There's also new lineart for the ZnO, GOOhN and Sky Grasper courtesy of Machineman. There's also new profiles in the SEED-MSV section. Finally, there's 5 new additions to Burke's Mobile Weapons. Beware, as these profiles contain information as recent as episodes 29-30. They are:

GAT-X105 Strike Gundam
GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam
GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam
TMF/A-802 BuCUE
TMF/A-803 RAGOU

The Sign of Zeta Vanishes by Chris 12:44 P.M. EST
In news that I am very unhappy to report, it seems that the U.S. release of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam has been delayed until 2004. Neo-Era first picked up word on this from a post by Bandai's Jerry Chu on the Anime on DVD forums. Now, Chu has made an official statement saying that "The Bald Wizard has struck again." For those unfamiliar with such a reference, it's Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino. It is unclear why the release has been delayed, but it may be connected to the rumored compilation movies that Tomino is directing. For now, the only Gundam releases on schedule for the end of the year are Gundam F91 and Superior Defender. I'll post more news as it becomes available.
