Go japan get the metal frame rx78-2 if possible haha~ btw whats the next gundam series after age and unicorn? I heard they might be gundam origin.. Are there any possible kits that they can make from that series?

Original price for PG 00 Raiser in Singapore: SGD 450. Some shop even sell at 500.

I bought from Yodabashi at Akiba, after discount and duty free, converted to SGD = 280

I check out the price for other kit too, super cheap there! (I also bought the one piece going merry ship model kit)

yes Yodobashi is another place u could get ridiculously cheap gunpla, if u plan to buy it from Japan, Yodobashi is a good place to start. I regretted not going there during my visit to Japan years ago........

might be.. since there are redesign RX-78-2,Guntank and any other MS..
for now Bandai is focusing on Unicorn OVA

wow. that is a lot

but for me if I'm going all the way there, I'd rather look for something different from what's available here

The new Nu comes with fancy gimmick parts which jack up the price, but 2000 more for a few pieces of clear plastic and a stand which the HiNu already has? Nah, you pay for the new technology and likely more little pieces of plastic for the detailed armour.

I reckon the new Sazabi will be as detailed as the new Nu. It would be blasphemy if they dumbed down the Sazabi while improving so much on the Nu. I say around 10000 yen, complete with a Neo Zeon stand and funnel effect parts like its rival.

The-O is a weird case. It's expensive due to its massive size and hence requiring much more plastic, yet the articulation and detail don't justify its price. To be fair, such a chunky mecha shouldn't be expected to do splits or somersaults anyway. The interesting thing about The-O is that the final product didn't really differ much from its original prototype despite the years in between them. Seems like Bandai engineers just took the old kit and released it without any improvements at all. I hope that if there's an MG Nightingale, Bandai doesn't get lazy and just release the old prototype which has shitty proportions.

A HGUC will suffice for the red space coackroach. MG would be ridiculously huge.

I'm not asking for MG Strike 2.0, what I mean is if somehow miracle(or bad luck) they releases it, it's because of Seed HD, proving my theory of 2.0 releases coincide with special ocassions
if no Seed HD it don't even have chance

as for Tallgeese face, I posted before a pic of the prototype showing that there is a Leo camera face behind that faceplate, so you might have an option there

You think I spent a lot on that model? Wait till you see the pricetag when you have to actually buy the phone with it...

more then 2000, i'll say its closer to 3000 you hav to factor in the die cast parts in the old Nu. I dun think its just the stand + some funnels holder + details that jack up its price. We all know the LED is optional so that surely isn't it either. Bandai states that there is a SECRET to Nu that will be revealed in gunpla expo. I assume its this SECRET + display base + funnel holder + some funnel gimmick (yet to be seen) + double fin funnel (dun understand this statement) that will be the main reason for its price.

As for Sazabi, youre probably right on the pricing if they included all these gimmick like the Nu. The price isn't really the prob but the product better justify its pricing.

Bingo on the prototype part, it didnt differ much from the prototype and final product (a prototype that has existed years ago mind you) hence RnD shouldn't b the reason for its price. Size is not an excuse either, exs is bigger, has more runners, has more plastic parts + a PG style display base to boot yet its much-much more cheaper. So in the end the pricing come down to Bandai being a herp-derp or they are experimenting on the market. Given the respond, ill say Bandai will be reluctant to sell a MG kit more then 10000yen.

MG Nightingale? typo or u meant HGUC? At any case its chances are slim, its not animated (at the very least Hi Nu got the Evolve treatment), Beltorchika's Children ended years ago, it opportunity was to ride the Hi Nu popularity and release it one after the other. Bandai misses the boat. From now on, Bandai would probably focus on Unicorn and Origin and whatever the new TV series will be. Depending on the hiatus time, Bandai may venture into it but there is also alot more other stuff Bandai could make that would rake in the $$$$$$$.

hello mate
where or what is this yodabashi ? i googled it and it seems to be an electronics shops ? im going japan soon and i sure wont mind buying a cheap PG....

yes its an electronic store but there is a bunch of other stuffs inside.


if u could speak japanese, just take a cab tell the driver Yodobashi Camera Akihabara, he'll take u there. If u take a train, it shouldn't be too far away from the station. From what i rember, its just couple of blocks away from Shinjuku station.

I take that to mean they're gonna give you 12 fin funnels instead of 6, which would be interesting considering the only model kit to do that from my memory is Model Comprehend's Nu Gundoom.

during this expo the prototype has shown, they gave you extra part for the backpack,
to replace the beam saber mount on the right side to funnel mount, so you can mount funnels on both sides

Thank you TheAdmiral
i will definitely pay this place a visit - thanks for clearing up my confusion....i was like...WTH...an electronic store selling Gunpla? lol....

so its just an extra attachment to giv u an option to mount it either left or right and not 12 funnels like what TaurusOxford said? Hmm thats disappointing...

i dont see any extra funnels there

most likely that's just a way for bandai to double their income from people wanting to put double fin funnels.. or maybe it's backwards compatible? maybe u can mount the old MG Nu's funnels on the other side

i think the 3rd party product has made this both funnel released kan??? too many nu milking in 3rd party product...

summoning brader TigerI

rejoice! First, Yodabashi is right outside of Akihabara station (Take the JR line, light Green color, Yamanote line '山手線')

Here is the Floor Plan for Yodabashi, too bad it's in Japanese... but if not mistaken, it's 7th floor. (Because I remember the gourmet floor is right above it, don't miss out the super nice Ramen up there. 'Goumen' if notmistaken)

On that floor, you got LOTS OF LOTS OF toys, and in one session, you'll be swimming in sea of gunpla, and all sort of accessories.

IMPORTANT: The shop ppl there speak a bit of Enlgish and Mandarin. (Their announcement are broadcasted in Japanese, English and Mandarin) REMEMBER to ask for tax refund. Just show them your passport and they will do the rest for you, aaaaaaaaaand you can happily bring home ur loot.

Hm... sounds like I'm advertising for them? Well I'm just too happy with what I got there...
