Even though Unicorn has less posing capabilities, its much stable, no? Anyway its good to hear that Quanta's leg might be the same as 00's. any chances of them making a new leg for it?

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. cry.gif

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

thanks!

1: most main char models are the most popular rnt they? brows.gif
2: just use yen conversion like 3500x0.036. thats the usual conversion they use


Added on August 8, 2010, 10:37 amand i forgot somethin.. i heard a rumour that the gundams made in japan are actually made in china. just packaged in japan to stamp the made in japan label. is it true?

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.

Thanks for the reply bro, so i take it that the leg problems particularly posing are really that bad?

btw. any sifu here could recommend me what MG model should i get? I have some spare time now and I would like to get back to Gundam modelling since i stop like er.....2-3 years ago?

Heheh i know its really sounds spoiled of me to ask which model but frankly speaking I'm out of touch from Gunpla ever since I switched to other toy collectibles and I would like to use the spare time i never have right now to do some model fixing instead of collecting ready made figures. Hopefully uou guys could recommend me some models that doesn't cost more than Rm200  tongue.gif  kinda out of budget at the moment

Thanks once again yo~ wink.gif
