QUOTE(StormV @ Sep 6 2006, 02:39 PM) actually now the Graffiti price is more the less same with official Yen retail price. Just divide the Yen price around 30. For yr information, KL now more and more "ppl" selling bandai gundam kit using yen price x 0.033 rate same as what sunnyboy bulk order here. sunnyboy gundam kit bulkeg: HG zaku 1000 yen kit, 1000 x 0.033 = RM 33 so, there is more and more cheap kit available. prepare yr wallet.

If they don't lower the price, people will find cheaper alternatives like ordering from youngsoul or from sunnyboy or from online toyshops like HLJ.

The retail price set by the LT is too ridiculous so at the end all shops can't have much sales on Gundam kits now GT has lowered the price & their Gundam sales much more better than last time although they earn less earn less is better than earn nothing

Wah....you "REALLY" like that Valkyrie huh....put that many "really". BTW, if you think that Valkyrie is nice, wait till you see this.  It's from G-System, 115cm tall and they're sell it at USD2250  I always want one but due to it's popularity, it is sold out even before they start the production.

QUOTE(young_soul @ Sep 6 2006, 08:39 PM) isn't really a nice kit anyway  Well...that's depends on people, right....for me, I do think that it's taking a lof of space to display it and also takes a lot of time just to build, and in the end you just get a model kit that does nothing and cannot do a lot of pose. But for the people that like it, there's something within us that we cannot resist to get our hand on one of this. HAHAHA  Just my 2cent. This post has been edited by Guyver: Sep 6 2006, 09:08 PM

But isnt that a resin kit? The yamato one is fully transformable, and I bet it'll be awesome to change between the three modes every month for display.  But the price is
