Hey guys, i am new to building gundam model kits.

I've recently bought a bunch of stuff from this website, gundam.my.
They provide excellent services but i checked hobbylink japan and found out that their(gundam.my) price is overpriced.

May i know where do you guys get your model kits?

Is buying online cheaper? or do i get it from a store instead?

I live in penang island, anyone can enlighten me where to get gundam model kits? =D

buying online you have to take note of shipping charges.. for big kits may charge more.. end up the same as your local hobby store.. sometimes you can still get good prizes though f you scout around multiple online sellers/shops..

browse the trade zone, got a lot of sellers with good price.
but if you prefer direct from store, I recommend gwing. They just open a new store in prangin mall i think
not sure whether or not they still sell gunpla because I usually PO figures from them rather than gunpla whistling.gif

I find that PO action figures, Toypanic seem to hv a better price compared to Gwing n Hobby Raiser.. all of them are penang based

There's something wrong with the assembly of the torso to the waist unit there buddy. Better have a look at it again.

agreed something looks wrong with it.. if it was more towards metal composite look i think it would be fantastic.. MG is a bit, plain, for lack of a better word sweat.gif
still waiting for 21st to see true prototypes

You have not included the shipping charges to Malaysia. Although you would normally still get cheaper price (5-10%) than buying from local retailers, but in the end it roughly amounts up to the same price. Note that this does not apply for P-Bandai exclusives, buying from overseas retailers (Amiami, GGI, HLJ etc) is definitely cheaper.

Same case as ARF, the PG is bulkier than the sleek-looking MG. But in the end we all love it laugh.gif

Well logic dictates that due to the additional frame, not only the mecha but also to its weapons and accessories, they should weight heavier than its HG counterpart, but still not noticeable when you hold it.

ARF wins because of its intricate details and pose flexibility. as for unicorn, it just doesn't look as detail as previous PG and I doubt it is posable due to the transformation. laugh.gif
I do hope there are improvements when the final product comes out

About the weight of hg and rg, i don't have the same model to compare. But i don't think there's i significant difference between them.

There is if you hold them in one hand each, especially Strike Freedom. If you hold them by the legs, RG SF will be tilting back due to its internally-framed wings compared to the hollow HG SF laugh.gif
