Next up on the very short list will be Vinsent, coming in May.
The exact reason behind such discrimination is really hard to say. I used to think that Code Geass as a new entry in the mecha-anime world may not be lucrative enough for Bandai to release many of its models, and as the setting of the mecha are relatively much smaller than the Gundam Universe, not many models can be released anyway. For Exia alone, we have 1/60, 1/144, 1/100 scale models; for Code Geass on the other hand, since the 1/35 scale version of the models are already designed with details such as the pilot figures, even more details will be needed for the much larger releases. The profitability from smaller scale models may not be attractive enough for Bandai to consider.
Also, plenty of Code Geass models will also mean that we'll get very few Gunplas during this period. I believe between the two franchises, Gundam will always be Bandai's No. 1 choice.
Anyway, this posting is supposed to be about completed Code Geass models from Japanese model collectors but I stray off the topic instead ^^;

1/35 Mechanic Collection Guren Type-02 - by Lifezoids
Between Lancelot and Guren Type-02, I like the later more. Apart from the glossy parts, the evil-looking claw is really quite intimidating. The display stand is a real bonus too. I won't deny that if I can fulfill my Gunpla wish list, I will consider Guren Type-02 as well ^^
