guess worth it, if u buy it frm Kuching, Sarawak. it cost 120+ here. but it not worth it if u knw Edison.

Errr ... guess its worth it then, errr .. how u know the item is from Sarawak, u when and check izzit ?

Cause i live in Sarawak, hahaha. My friend buy exactly the same thing at it cost 120+.

I see .. well thanks for the information. At least I know is a good buy .. after this .. im going to Edison.

lol.. mostly everyone has at least bought thier gunpla's at high prices.. all before knowing edison or even good shops like Time Machine, Fantasy Toys, Grafitti, etc..

consider ureself undergone a 'rite of passage' to be a gunpla collector..

anyways.. why dun u withdraw frm the bid..? sure it may look bad for ure reputation, but 100++ is quite a lot of money.. if i were u i just FFK just my 10 sen..

Wat the hell is Gunpla ??.

Nah .. ill already bid it liao. After I buy this, I will move my next gunpla purchase and onwards from Edison.

You guys shud say "Welcome to the Gundam model World, Xeno" Thanks anyway bro.

btw, still got 1 question in my head, does the Gundam Base Stand selling now is applicable for all type of MG ? i mean from all sort of mg gundam to those zaku & dom ?

I wanna learn how to assemble my own Gundam model in the future. Can anyone teach me what I need to buy .. i heard u need some sort of Bandai blade and Bandai marker .. is that true ?

The Action Base Stand is able to fit any MG series gundam Coz the 'holder' can b calibrated to fit the size of the 'crotch' of the gundams n MS

U dun need Bandai tools to assemble Bandai stuff, if u do, then u sure pokai very fast.
Starters like u can juz get a Hobby knife or simple blade is good enuf. The hobby knife can b obtain from supermarker like Jusco to those bookstore like Popular, MPH....
A nail clipper/pliers (i.e. cutter - sharp pointed 1) will b helpful for you the remove the parts from the runner (i.e. the plastic frame holding the parts).
The Marker is useful for minimal painting, if u dun paint those MG oso quite nice, juz need to do panel lining...get urself one Panel Lining marker most Local hobby store will hv it.

From then on, u will learn n then only u start to consider getting other tools.

Welcome to one of the most money sucking hobby

Welcome welcome... guess another fella got his legs stuck in the quicksands of gunpla modelling... Expect your wallet to go empty very soon, unless you have a very strong will to resist temptation ;lol:

RM110 is considerably "ok" lah for an 2600yen kit. It is overpriced, no doubt, but at least you didn't get ripped by Litt Takk's prices which probably go up to RM 159 And to think that 3500 yen MGs go up to RM249

To check the actual price of the model the next time you see one at shops, look for the barcode. There should be a line of numbers above the barcode, and the last 4 numbers would be the price in yen. Take the yen, divide it with 33 and you get the rough RM equivalent. Divide by 30 is easier for quick reference

As Fasap mentioned, it is a "ritual" for everyone to get ripped in the beginning, I overpaid for all of mine. It is only after you realise the actual price of the gunplas that you can go out to Jusco or Parkson and snicker at the exaggerated price tags with cynicism.

For me, building the model is the best part... after completing it, somehow I don't enjoy the model as much as I did when I was building it

Happy modelling !!!

haha... yet another fella got trapped

2. Nail Clipper - to cut off the left over 'bits'




3. Nail Polisher - act as sand paper to brush of the tiny 'bits'





4. Pilot 0.1 Drawing pen - for panel lining


i get this one at rm4


hope this helps

gff metal composite #1001 released.
looks cleaner n more defined then da original gff 1.

wow,epsilon_chinwk86, same city we live in, the same (overprice gundam) city

Thanks for the warm welcome StarGhazzer and Ah WanG. Well .. i decided to start this hobby while I was playing the Gundam War TCG and spend a week watching Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny and then I was hook, told myself I must get one of those models.

Then i started thinking about the assemble and painting cause at that time my mind was thinking that all model kits have to be painted and glued together. Thats why I decided to buy pre-fix models or buy a model kit and pay someone to assemble for me. But I heard from Edison, that all Gundam model kits comes with color already and that really solve some of my problems liao.

The next step is to get a proper tools but I have no worries liao, thanks to kingkong and ah wang for the information.

I know most surely im going to burn a hole in my wallet but I really dun mind, cause im going to luv every moment of it. Currently, im just waiting for my Infinite Justice Gundam model .. yeah

Thanks to everyone.

Wish u the best of luck, atleast u knw Edison faster than some of us, some of us may already burn 1000+ than find out Edison selling it cheaper. Maybe next Gunpla for u is a MG?

Thanks. Btw, MG is Master Grade right but whats the difference between PG and MG ? and is there any other grades besides this some more ?.

ok, hope i right about tis, PG is bigger than MG wif more detail than MG, that why itway more expensive than other Grade. For how many grade there is, i try to list out.

Non grade, High Grade(got in 1/144 and 1/100), Master Grade, Perfect Grade, and there a bigger grade, dont remember the name but the Gundam is HUGE. But if u want to buy 1/144 HG, nv buy the seed and destiny series, not that well make by bandai(some are still great), Better go buy HGUC 1/144

wow...
got people from kuching also o?
me too le..
hehe...

Ah Wang :
that Pilot 0.1 Drawing pen - for panel lining, is it erasable with eraser?
where can i get it?

JCKK:
it looks great but the price tag of 10k yen is even greater
as far as i know the size remains the same as original gff

XenoFr3ak :
Welcome to gunpla world
imho your justice price is expensive abit, but since it is your first kit, it is ok
take it as an experience la...my first kit also expensive
also take note..currently yen rate dropping liao so you should be careful for your further purchases
