What's the difference between this one and the "newer model"?

What "newer" model? Are you talking about the "Proto Zero" EW line? As far as I am aware, this is the newest "movie" Wing Zero MG.

could you elaborate? to the best of my knowledge there is no newer model of this kit. theres the wing proto zero which is a drastically different design and frame.

From my inspection, whenever Amazon is showing a "newer version," especially of the MG Ver. EW line, it's typically the same model, but from an independent retailer that has added that tag, possibly in error, at a super-inflated price. For reference, no MG from the Gundam Wing series should cost above $50 USD (give or take a few $ for shipping etc.). Also, even if you buy from retailers through Amazon, I've found that referencing 3rd party sites (Gundam Planet, GGInfinite, HLJ, or ModelGrade) can be helpful in determining legitimate listings and those that may be falsified or made in error.

Good question. It would have to be the details from diffirent time lines. I got this on when it first came out. It was very easy to put together. Ones today much more of a challenge and more detail then long ago.

i have the older model...i would say the big difference to me would be the color..mine is entirely black.

I believe it's just an older model number. I haven't found anything with any difference between the two of them.

It doesn't mean anything in particular, it's just the new model. It's slimmer than the original. There are alsonew features ;)

I don't know the difference. All I can say is that the one I bought has been working fine for nearly 3 months now.

Hi, Could not find much difference in the models. Mine works just great. Try either one & I believe they will be ok. cwr

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H. Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

The 990 is the newer model. As far as I can tell, there really isn't any difference except the price.

I think this is the newer model. My sister in law recommended it and this is the one she had shown me to purchase.

The more expensive one is enhanced and the newest version . The 199.00 is the older model.

I think the 83250 is just a newer model. I did not see any difference between them,except for the price. I bought the cheaper one.

They are essentially priced the same and practically do not differ that much. I had both, newer one works better for me in general (and finish-wise, black one goes better with my camera).I guess the old one becomes a collectible now :-)

This is NOT the new and improved model. It is the older model that has been replaced. I was surprised not to get the newer item.
