Anyway, I went to LT Warehouse sale yesterday from 2.30 - 6.00pm.
First reach there, there's nothing much edy. No so called 'damn-cheap-price' one.(well, I thought so).
Then I decided to go out for lunch first then go back around 3.
Then, suddenly got SOMETHING!! WTF la LT. Never pull out the stock when I was there but the moment I go out, they pull out another stock. Huhuhu~~
I reach there, then already saw one fella holding 2 boxes of HG RX-78 Expo edition (Rm12 each) and 1 box HG Exia Expo Edition (RM12 also I guess).
At that time I damn piss off!!
Luckily, I saw one box of MG Destiny Expo Edition (rm100) below 1-60 Exia boxes.
Grab it and never let go. laugh.gif
Then I decided to wait till end.
Around 5 something, got one fella come out 2 boxes of NG 1/100 Glitz Clear Edition (rm30 only) but only 2 boxes. I can only glimps the price as both of them being taken away alongside big box of ZZ Gundam (big blue box).
And got one fella bought a lot bunch of HG gundam(cannot remember what type) but LOTS of them. And alongside of them is HG 00 + O-Raiser (Expo version, that combine 2 model kit under one box, for just RM50!).Damn it la! laugh.gif <--suara tak puas hati. tongue.gif

But at the end, I manage to get another 1/100 NG Sword Strike for only rm30 (that come out from no where as before that its not at the shelf one).

So the conclusion is, I WILL HUNT YOU MUCH MORE EARLIER NEXT TIME LITT TAK!!!
MUCH MORE EARLIER!!! CAN YOU HEAR THAT???!!!! (Err....I dont think so) tongue.gif

AAAAAA cry.gif
I went back on 2pm yst.. only got myself 1/144 Mercurius, Bucue Hound and a power rangers car (nothingg much when I went there yst). They restocked late pulak doh.gif

Hi guys,
Is the aile strike gundam's backpack compatible with force impulse gundam (and vice versa)?
*
IINM MG Force Impulse comes together with adapter part to attach Strike packs, therefore vice versa is not possible (without modding)

Harharhar~~~
Anyway,  I was hoping next year, LT will reduce the price of MG Son Goku (since not so many of us buying that model kit)
hehehehe~~~So its gonna be high chance for LT to drop that model kit price.

Haha I think no need to wait next year. I'm quite sure there will be another sale on or just after BAKUC end 2010

Sneak pics of the MG Deathscythe... Still don't understand Bandai's decision here... Why don't they release the more popular DHC or just stick to the original Okawara Deathscythe....

Maybe they want to follow certain order? MG Wing also same; started with ver Ka, then WZC, and now Wing ver Okawara; next should be Wing Zero ver Okawara

Talking about heavy weapons, looks like my 00 movie favourite HG 1/144 Zabanya suffer from the same fate.

I don't know how those PC-joints are going to withstand the weight of the weapon racks at the side. If it's standing, at least it can be supported by the ground, but if you put it on the stand...  doh.gif

Personally, i don't think this release will include all the weapons and rifle bits. Maybe Bandai will release another GNHW version? Just wait and see...

Hmm if the rifle bits are mounted at the upper back, Zabanya will have Vardant'ish look

Not really a fan of bazooka's anyway. Melee weapons ftw  biggrin.gif

Actually I have a question about pricing. Sorry if it was posted before (tried searching but couldn't get anywhere close). Why is it that prices of gundam's sold at departmental stores are much higher than those sold in hobby shops?

Remember seeing a Unicorn ver ka sold for around RM300 ar TRU  shocking.gif

And I can't believe that I use to ONLY purchase my Gundam kits from Jusco (back in the day of course  tongue.gif  )

QUOTE(rayloke @ Jul 9 2010, 01:30 PM)
Because the distributor (Litt Tak) gotta do advertisement, point of sale (standees, wobbler etc) , dealing with big departmental stores (jusco, parkson etc) in consignment term (means they ll return whatever cannot sell), promotions, events (gundam competition), Bandai's request of "eating up" those slow moving kits, Bandai's pricing, distribution, government taxes, and now the new safety standard our government comes out with.

All these money spent, definitely they would want to earn back the money; they r a business entity too.

Hence prices r higher.
Whereas, individual shops, who deals with or themselves are parallel importers, basically they can just enjoy the publicity Litt Tak has invested in; putting almost RM0 in promotion. Sometimes, they might able to avoid taxes too. Therefore their prices r lower.

It's like a 40km marathon. I fella "gotta" follow the pre set route n run all 40km. Another fella takes short cut. Of course it would be easier for the second fella to reach the destination.
*
Actually I think the Jaya Jusco price is the suggested retail price for Malaysia (usually departmental store will just follow the SRP), while the actual price Litt Tak sold the gunplas(which of course within the price they already include taxes, shipping etc) to retailer I think should not be much cheaper than the standard gunpla price in local toy shops. The suggested retail price are not mandatory to be followed, thus shops can sell lower than the SRP if they want (of course, with lower profit margin). This is similar like in Japan also, where most of the time you can see shops there sell gunplas cheaper than the suggested price there (original yen price). If you want to know whether the gunpla stock in a shop comes from Litt Tak, just check on the side of the box.. those that comes from Litt Tak will have their sticker there (I noticed even shop that sells lower than JJ price got their stock from Litt Tak)

not sure bout hobby shop but i see JJ sells them >20% higher than retail.
most of the time they have the discount stickers on them.

what I mean is. the JJ price is the SRP in Malaysia (set by Litt Tak I think; if you go to Litt Tak store in Sg Wang, you can see the price is similar to JJ), while the cheaper price in local shops are actually below the SRP in Malaysia.

I feel white is not suitable for dead, all DS gundam should in black, dark green or grey....but why white ?  sad.gif

Err actually DS TV version (including DS Hell) have white-yellow-black color scheme. The only DS not in white is DS Hell EW version.
