amazon... not everyone buys from them and you have to consider the shipping costs when you buy online. you can get low prices from other online sites but add in the shipping fees and the price shoots up... RM 80 for a MG in Lowyat plaza is considered cheap... and Lowyat's prices are often RM10-20 more expensive than say Sg Wang, or even aunty lenny's shop... higher rental perhaps? unsure.gif

but one thing's for sure... those pieces of plastic are definitely overpriced... hell they're just plastic, and yet we willingly pay them for our own satisfaction. laugh.gif

Yo man, i went to Sg Wang yesterday, but did not really see any shops selling Gundam Kits. Mind to tell me where is the location?

Went to the shops in Low Yat Plaza as well, some of the kits they r selling r quite cheap, even newer models like MG Freedom r going for RM155 n MG Wing Zero Custom for RM153.

I suggest you don't man. The Gundam:Human ratio is screwed. You need to get smaller humans to stand beside a Gundam for a more realistic effect. smile.gif

Since u mentioned it, i oso noticed d proportion is out quite a bit. But i think it is still quite ok (mayb d 1 in d pic is 1/160). But is there any place selling these miniature humans?

The seat (along with its occupant) back in the cockpit space. Yay, pilot fun!  icon_rolleyes.gif
From what we all know already, the scale measurement used by Gunpla are definitely not compatible to the usual scale used by military model kits, so trying to find human figures to match GunPla works is pretty tough. I can't guarantee that the model kits I obtained these 1/144 scale minifigs from are still available out there, but you should try to search around if there are any stand-alone human figure kits that ranges around 1/144 and 1/100 scale. If you do find such kits, please do inform me too, kingkong81.  thumbup.gif

Ok, so the places to find all these mini fellas r those military hobby shops? I'll post here if i found any...thx Fodder biggrin.gif

won't much of help since don't think you have railway model chain we have over here...

I looked up on yellow pages and called one of shops specialising in building miniatures for archtectures and they told me to check out couple of shops and HobbyCo in the city had couple of these a.m.r.i. figures. There are more in this range like tables, chairs, and etc. all in 1/100 scale from what I heard from the shop

I suggest to try to contact one of those model/miniature shops in your area and ask where they get those small figures biggrin.gif

Thx man...a good source of info. Can plan wat diorama i can make when i got those miniatures figures

Hm... really bad job by Bandai.... the head looks nothing like the lineart, or the 1/144 HG. In fact it looks like an MSiA head doh.gif In fact, the whole design looks nothing like the lineart (original lineart, not the 1/100 model lineart) suggested.

Hope the 1/100 Legend retains its original design, instead of flaws everywhere.

And for 2700+ yen? ZOMG... 1/100s are getting more and more expensive, yet the quality is disappointing.

After a while, the skinny looks not so skinny, still can accept. But the proportion is still bad. I hope it is angle problem, the palm looks too big, head a bit small.

1 2 get one IJ, but wif this quality of 1/100... shakehead.gif Hopefully an MG IJ is on the way sweat.gif

For those who are interested. The New Infinite Justice Gundam Is out. The 1st batch comes with a limited edition stand so hurry up and get it. It's at Stardust Memories.

And I'm just wondering does anyone have the stand for The Strike Freedom 1/100 because I want to complete my collection... It's the only one between IJ and Destiny that does not have a stand. I'll even buy it from you. If you want to sell the gundam along with it, I shall consider it... Thank You.

The IJ is priced at 125 yesterday but I heard they're gonna bump up the price today. Not too sure but there was a lot of boxes. So Good Luck People.

Hope It Helps

XL shop juz brought in IJ 1/100, selling at RM118 thumbup.gif

how's the articulation for the IJ? coz i think that model is just normal grade/hg izzit? correct me if i'm wrong..

A lot of review on IJ oredi. I would say, the articulation is quite complete (i mean a lot!), same as the review lor.

Well, i suppose now the 1/100 is synonymous to HG 1/100. I havent got this kit yet, still thinking, mayb some fella who oredi got this kit can share wif us bout this kit biggrin.gif
