A long-out-of-stock Master Grade kit is finally coming back through Bandai's Premium Bandai online-exclusive channel. Confirmed via Bandai's official P-Bandai release schedule, the MG 1/100 Stark Jegan reissue is scheduled for release in August 2026.

This is a confirmed release with an announced month, so here's what's included.

What's Confirmed About This Kit

Bandai's official P-Bandai schedule confirms the following:

  • Scheduled release: August 2026
  • 1/100 Master Grade scale
  • Sold exclusively through the Premium Bandai online store, not standard hobby retail
  • Based on the Stark Jegan mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn series

Why a Reissue Matters Here

The Stark Jegan MG kit has been out of production for an extended stretch, making original copies increasingly expensive on the secondary market. A confirmed P-Bandai reissue gives builders a chance to pick one up at standard retail pricing again, rather than paying inflated resale prices for original-run copies.

Premium Bandai Exclusivity Comes With a Catch

Because this reissue sells only through Premium Bandai's own storefront rather than general hobby shops, availability is tied to that platform's order windows and international shipping options, which collectors outside Japan need to account for ahead of the release.

For a completed Master Grade kit like this, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the build dust-free after assembly.

For displaying the Stark Jegan with real presence, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds a dedicated tier alongside other Gundam Unicorn kits.

Why Secondary Market Prices Spiked for the Original Run

Once a Master Grade kit goes out of production, remaining sealed copies tend to see steady price increases as builders specifically seeking that suit run out of other options. The Stark Jegan's extended absence from active production pushed its secondary market price well above typical MG retail pricing, which is exactly the gap a P-Bandai reissue is designed to close by reintroducing supply at a standard price point rather than leaving demand entirely to resellers.

What Premium Bandai Exclusivity Means in Practice

Selling exclusively through Premium Bandai rather than general hobby retail means this reissue won't show up at typical hobby shops or major online retailers that stock standard Gunpla releases. International buyers need to either order directly through Premium Bandai's site (accounting for international shipping) or use a proxy/forwarding service, both of which add cost and lead time compared to a standard retail purchase.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming this reissue will be available at standard hobby retailers instead of exclusively through Premium Bandai
  • Not planning for international shipping costs and timelines when ordering directly from Premium Bandai's Japan-based storefront
  • Confusing this MG reissue with lower-grade Stark Jegan kits that may already be in standard retail circulation
  • Storing runners and completed builds without protection while waiting on shipment from Japan
