and most of the time, the pirated versions wont have the bandai logo printed on it. and the box art looks a lil different... much lower quality u can say. but theres something very different between an original and a pirated 1. actually, if u do want to experiment, u can buy an original 1 and the 1 u said from china and compare the plastic quality, wrapping and other stuff.

hi hi sorry to interrupt you all.

this is my first time posting in this hobby forum of lowyat.net forums.

recently, i had a discussion with a friend about how to make money, and we figured that doing trading would be a good start.

he told me that he got a friend who can get wholesale prices from original bandai factory in china, but need bulk order of at least RM2000 in goods.

i was thinking, i could take pre orders etc, but after visiting the hobby forum of lowyat.net for a bit, i noticed that there are "imitations" bandai companies which produces similar bandai products, but maybe of slightly lower quality etc but much more cheaper.

seeing that the so called original bandai factory is in china, i had doubts if it is indeed original bandai though my friend assured it is, as told by his friend.

so, i decided that the best way for me to find out is to order a batch first, then try out one of the boxes myself to check the quality.

however, the problem is i never played / bought / assembled gundam before so i am like, totally clueless about this.

i appreciate if you guys can share some information with me regarding:
1. which gundam models are currently quite popular at the moment
2. standard malaysia retail market price range

so i can sell off the popular easier to sell gundam i obtained and not be stuck with the not so popular harder to sell gundam that i will have a harder time to dispose off.

by the way, gundam is produced by bandai, right?
also, how to make sure if it is really authentic bandai, and imitation bandai? the difference in quality, how to check oh?

thanks!

Mmmmm.... sweet and spicy crabs.....
