Bought more from the cheaper shop!

Can I just say, looking at your MG Aile Strike haul, I saw a receipt with the name Asobit. If this is the same Asobit opposite the police HQ in Akiba, then that is the best place to buy Gundam imo. Very cheap prices. I bought MG Spallow and Tallgeese for less than RM90 each. The best haul from there so far was PG 00 Raiser priced at ¥16000. Then I asked for duty free, another 10% reduced. Highly recommend shopping for Gunpla there  biggrin.gif

I bought the aile strike at Gotemba Premium outlet. I have a member card with bic camera so bought all from there. Duty free requirement = purchase above ¥10,000

Sadly I didn't have enough luggage space after 3 boxes of gundam, if not i was gonna get the Sazabi metallic.



Prices are before tax duty and visa discount totaling 15%!!!

I see.....

My aunt is going to Japan, so I ask her to buy a gundam for me. But I have no idea whether I should choose SF FBM or D EBM.

Takes up a lot of luggage space! Make sure you treat her nice nice when she come back!
Also ask her to request for extra seal (sticky tape or plastic bag) on the gundam as it is not sealed in most shops. Parts might go missing. The shops here in Penang selling with 100% mark up on the gundam. Really wow! blink.gif

HxiiiK I need some advice here.

You think strike rouge is better or aile strike is better ?

If u can,  reply me on tomorrow Monday or ASAP.

Thank you.

How much your ant paid for the mg aile strike rm version?
Yen!

I should've gotten 2 more last month while in tokyo. thumbup.gif

Edit: Just saw 3250 yen, which is the market rate there although I got mine at 3080 before tax rebate.
I haven't started on the kit yet because this kit really needs a minor paint job.

I feel like selling off my HG and only collect MG and RG from now on. What do you think guys? There may be some of you who collect all grades and get along just fine but the more I compare my HG and MG, the more I feel my HGs don't represent the "true" feature of the kit.


Summary:-
Not satisfied with the level of detail/size in HG kits.
It will look weird to have HG displayed together with my MG kits.

However,
Its kind of a waste to just abandon my HG (sentimental value)

End of rant. Thank you.

if you got the resource and no space constraint, go ahead  thumbup.gif

Resource/Space is not an issue. Rather...I keep looking at how delicious the MGs look compared to HG. wub.gif
Its like....comparing old gf and new gf.

...and then you say to yourself...

"Why did I get a HG in the first place! I should've went with MG's from the start, all the way!" doh.gif
