well, for me that's what I enjoy the most about gunpla; the joy of assembling & detailing.. although I'm not reaching the extent of painting my kits.. hohoho.. rolleyes.gif

I don't really mind taking time to complete a kit, coz if I rush it, surely later will see some senget here and nubs there.. I took almost two weeks to build my MG Exia.. doing it little by little, make sure each and every part are nicely trimmed.. it's just a straight build, with (some) markings and also the so-needful panel lines.. not to mention trying to spending some time between my work schedule.. sweat.gif

my NG Green Frame on the other hand, completed in a matter of hours.. quite surprised myself it's done quickly.. tak berapa puas la.. probably it's going to be my first and only NG kit.. after this strictly MG only.. laugh.gif

just now completed the head of the MG Zeta Plus.. dunno when will I proceed with other parts.. doh.gif


Added on March 27, 2011, 1:36 amtalking about the Zeta Plus, I'm quite curious.. I noticed the white parts are not really THAT white.. more to beige/milky white.. is it the actual colour of the Zeta Plus, or is it due to this gunpla kit already aged about a decade..? (it was made in 2001) sweat.gif

guys if ur planning to buy gundam kits go buy at Time Machine.. buy more than 150 get a free marker or paint.. got my MG D-Hell Custom there today.. suprisingly its the cheapest offered among all the shops there in BTS and the Shen Long is also availably for rm13x.. biggrin.gif
*
the other day me n my friend borong some gunpla from Time Machine.. I got myself a MG Zeta Plus n MG Blue Frame 2nd Revise, while he bought MG Unicorn, MG Red Frame Kai and MG Kampfer.. got ourselves 4 gundam markers for free.. laugh.gif

we spent about RM700++ on that shop alone doh.gif

QUOTE(james83 @ Mar 27 2011, 11:54 AM)
that is 2001 kit, but bandai does re-issue it from time to time.. so what u have is relatively new, unless u bought it since 2001. laugh.gif
planning to get this kit oso.. do share after u finish building it.. icon_rolleyes.gif
*
hmm.. that makes sense.. if its really is a decade old, i bet the box must be hancur kot.. hahaha.. my box still shiny and in good condition..

about the colour of the Zeta Plus, I just noticed in the painting guide from the manual, the beige-ish IS the actual colour.. hahaha.. if you wanna get one of this, try look at Time Machine.. they sold it off for RM108.. if I'm not mistaken there's still one more.. rolleyes.gif

That day bought ma MG Sword Impulse for 156, but mee being a snapfit builder not gonna do any painting or panel-lining, I got mine w/out da freegift for 150. blush.gif

Best shop for browsing? Graffitti (the shop where its boxes are piled soooooooo high da staff won't see u tongue.gif)

Best price? Time Machine nod.gif

Graffiti is the best to make you rambang mata + jaws dropped.. but imo Time Machine is better priced.. nod.gif

some said that Graffiti is cheaper, but as far as I ever looked through, the price is about the same as Fantasy Toys in LYP rolleyes.gif

She said dat MG Sazabi is da last one...faster grab... icon_question.gif

...just came bark from Glory Enterprise at Endah Parada, got 3 MG Sazabis there. brows.gif
on which floor is this Glory Enterprise? went to Endah Parade this noon, got around up until 4th floor.. didn't found it.. is it on the "hidden" lots?

got sick of girls keep calling "masaj sir~?" on almost every floor.. then got home already.. doh.gif

I live in Seri Kembangan, around Equine Park.. so if the pricing from the Glory Enterprise is as good or better than those shops in BTS, better go there la.. save some petrol and toll as well.. hehehehe brows.gif

Unfortunately, I found GA's action bases a bit costly. Just by comparing to Graffiti Toys'. GT's cheapers. But for Gunpla kits, I'll still go for GA. While on the contrary, it was some kit from GT which is cheaper, compared to GA.

But do take note though, GA's gunpla kits arrive quite late compared to competition. If you can get, you'd get yourself cheaper kits. smile.gif
*
haven't survey the price for action base in GT..

GA price is around RM20-22 for the basic black/white/grey ones.. the clear sparkling green (matches the colour of GN Drives from double-oh series) is about RM25..

I am currently planning to buy action bases.. forgot to buy the other day.. kesian my MG Exia just sits there on my table.. wanna do some aerial pose as well.. hehehe laugh.gif

the price for some of the gunpla kits from GT look similar to those in Fantasy Toys (should we call it FT?) in LYP.. hmm.gif

Even if TM could be cheaper by RM2-RM5, I'd rather go to GA. I don't like the kind of service @ TM. GA's staffs are much much more friendly. Can chat with the guy there even without buying anything. He doesn't mind showing you the display unit if you just want to take a look.  rclxms.gif


Added on March 28, 2011, 9:14 am
I bought about 3 action base/stand + 1 lighting base from GA, then later only found out that the neighbour (GT) was selling about RM2 cheaper, for each. I was so confident that GA was the cheapest there, I guess I was dead wrong.  shakehead.gif
*
haha.. if you just buy 1 then I don't think it's gonna bother you.. but when you borong, sure feel a little regret right? brows.gif

yup.. GA staff is quite friendly..the other day I went there (the 7th floor branch), that guy entertain me well. he's not the kind of shop owner/staff that annoys you, keep tailing you even you mentioned you just wanna browse around.. laugh.gif ended up buying a white paint marker.. even asked him for advise when I'm making my choice

Actually this is one of good business strategy. Low electricity usage, low labor but all her die-hard-fan@buyer will always go there when she open her store.

wah. that tempts me even more to pay her a visit.. I hope I'm not ended buying gunpla from her shop today.. already bought 3 MGs this few weeks.. if more my budget sure lari lah.. sweat.gif
