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
*
Thanks for the info on the seed and destiny series. Im a HUGE fan of seed and destiny and will only buy model kits from that series. U advice not to buy HG on seed and destiny series .. then ... whats HGUC ?

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 tongue.gif And to think that 3500 yen MGs go up to RM249 shocking.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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. sweat.gif

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 biggrin.gif

Happy modelling !!!

haha... yet another fella got trapped biggrin.gif

I dont think anyone can break my record of buying "EXPENSIVE" gundam. Last time i live in Sarawak and almost no stall selling gundam model. Then i finally found one.. but they just import few once in a while. I went there to order for the FIRST MG ZETA. Guess How much is that? RM 275!! I bought it for rm 250 after some bargain. i remember their GP02 MG selling for almost rm 400!! Now i'm in KL can find much cheaper gundams (not from JUSCO) I'm yet to try to buy from EDISON. After CNY...hopeful can get myself a PG from him tongue.gif

UC is Universal Century, it the first timeline which Gundam universe are set in. It like seed destiny belong to the cosmic era. Universal Century is the origin of Gundam, AOZ is advance of zeta, a story inside the UC timeline. For even further info, try to use wikipedia, cause if i write everything about UC, it be long,lol.

here the wiki site:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Century

And for info of AOZ, maybe u want to ask Fasap whn he online, he the top AOZ fan here

If you follow the instruction booklet correctly, chances are you will not assemble the parts wrongly. Unless you are assembling it while your eyes are half opened, like what I did when I was fixing my Destiny... Fixed the neck in the opposite way so that it flipped backwards instead of forward doh.gif Wasted 30 minutes slowly prying open the torso to fix it sad.gif

UC or CE, it depends on your preference. But most of us here are UC fans, and indeed UC models esp MGs have more gimmicks. As for HGUC, think of it as an 1/144 MG without movable palms. However, I'd rather save up for MG since HGUCs are only 1/144 and hence too small for me.

Yet there are some models that are only released in HGUC and not MG...
MG The-O anyone? biggrin.gif

One more thing... watch the anime before (or after) you get a particular model, so that you will love it more. Animated mechas look nicer laugh.gif sweat.gif
