Hi guys,

Do you have any recommendations on where to shop for Gundam in Hong Kong? I heard that Mongkok is a MUST visit place for me. Going there during summer sales.

My wife allowed me to buy only 1 PG (my first PG), and i cannot decide which one to buy:-
1) Strike Freedom Gundam (since i MG burst mode, thinking of getting the PG)
2) ASTRAY RED FRAME (love the sword!)
3) 00 Raiser (heard that demand is GOOD, and looks nice!!!)
4) Aile Strike Rouge & Skygrasper (looks like a lot to build and my wife likes it)
5) Gundam Wing (looks really challenging!!!)

So, guys, whats your recommendation of my first PG should be?

any of the above are worth getting except Gundam Wing icon_rolleyes.gif

Wing gundam looks gorgeous but require LOTS of work because it's old design. Just imagine you ave to run wire inside the frame.

In terms of coolness, Red Frame is my first choice as it's really really beautiful and extremely detail. (Far more detail than other PG). As for 00 Raiser, everything is good except the price... kinda expensive.

PG wing main weakness are the wings bracket that breaks easily. Have to be super careful.
Running wires through the frame was also damn difficult

Personally, would got for Strike or Red Frame (though i dont like it) as my fren told me that 00 Raiser kinda have shoulder or was it ankle/back due to the backpack issue while SF looks plain to me compared with a way cheaper RG LOL

PG Wing, not recommended
00R, ok but if you display everything, including the Raiser, very bulky
Aile Strike highly recommended, but dunno why you want the Rouge ver....
Astray Red Frame also OK
Strike Freedom, if you don't mind repeatingly assembling the 8 dragoons

My opinion...

Are you sure you want to buy a PG in HK? I was just back from there. Price wise, not so big difference and the box is huge. So, you may not be able to bring it in the plane as hand luggage. and you don't wanna check it in. I guess you could throw the box, and cramp the runners in the hand luggage bag. I wanted to get the GPO1 there, but it was between 1300 to 1600 HKD. So I decided against it. After conversion is like 600 to 800...not much difference.
Anyways, for Gundam shops...best is along Nathan Road...closer to Jordan's MTR station. checkout In's Point and Sino Centre. Also near the Kwong Wah hospital near the station also...many shops there. Paints like Gaia Notes is going for HKD22.00, about RM9.00.
Go there to buy rare stuffs, not easily available here. My opinion, don't buy stuffs there just because it's RM50 cheaper.
I got the 7 eleven zgok HG at around RM80.00, Time machine in Times square sells it at RM200.00.

my problem with PG Wing is it doesn't feel like a PG among all the PGs
the outer armor are in large pieces, there isn't any special gimmick like armor hatch openings
it just felt like a 1/60 MG

For a moment there i thought bandai was gonna release like, star build strike complete package so people who already own the original build strike gotta buy another build strike, separating them is actually pretty considerate of bandai.

BTW, since universal booster uses GAT frame...does that mean i can mod a star build Blitz/buster/duel/aegis???

hmm.gif if i check in bag, also comes to the same price... i was hoping that when i go there during summer sales, the price will be very cheap... And your are right, i should look for rare things, bring it back to sell... brows.gif

That should cover some of my costs...
