yesterday saw MG Crossbone Ver. Ka at Graffiti Toys BTS, priced about RM125..

can that be considered cheap, or that's the actual pricing for the CB Ver. Ka? hmm.gif

Haha.. I think u mistaken edi... Bandai is just a brand.. they can have many other types of mecha release from their brand.. Gundam is 1 type of mecha that they have.. in their production.

please go to http://www.bandai.com/ to see wat is it before start saying bandai = gundam..

a good way to gauge if a kit is 'cheap' or 'worth it' is thru conversion of yen price.
0.045 =expensive
0.037/.038= normal nowadays
0.034/.033= cheap
anything lower than .033= buy buy buy!!

where to find yen price? either dalong.net, hlj, or just the side of the box above the barcode.

look at yen price, take local price divide by it
example:
kit is 5000 yen, selling at RM 180
5000/180 =0.036

ok good?

dey, what i meant is, only Bandai can produce gundam. If u see gundam from other brands, it's pirated liao, cos they no has lesen.
from my understanding, even if another company edit/modify design and produce their own, it's still violation of copyrights.
so tht's why i think we shouldn't discuss more of the McModel liao.

ok? faham?

i tot u will faham if i say it's not bandai, but seems like i gotta spell it out for u also. D:

somehow AIRA on ur siggy attracts me more than the "buy buy buy...." thing. brows.gif

last time i use to love Graffiti, they sell Gundam tepat2 yen 0.035 last time....now ni....sigh*
since yen nowadays is 0.037 (correct me if im wrong), its hard to find shop that sell below than the yen rate.
(last time i bought MG SF for Rm165 at Graffiti) sweat.gif
