The Gundam X series has made an appearance in the G-Generation Zero lineup. The overall quality is on par with the existing G-Generation series — just think of it as the same thing but with Gundam X designs.

One of the highlights of the SD Gundam X kit is how well it recreates the iconic Satellite Cannon deployment. Sure, it's not the kind where you can freely swing it open in any direction — you have to disassemble and reassemble it, which is a bit of a hassle — but still, the fact that the most important gimmick is pulled off at this small scale is pretty impressive. ^^

Anyway, Gundam X is probably the best-looking design among the non-Universal Century series — it's got that classic Gundam feel to it — and this kit carries that over nicely in a compact, sleek package. The series itself isn't the most popular, but as an SD kit it's a solid, no-frills release. :-)
