Technically, Banshee Norn is a male due to the lion mane when in NTD mode.

There's no import duty, only 6% GST.

It is lower than previous sales tax which was 10%.

Gunpla is classified under toys and model kits, with the HS code header of 9503.

There's no import duty under these headings, there's only GST of 6%.

That still doesn't invalidate that the actual chargeable fee is only the GST. It's up to you to argue with the Customs and if you really know the stuffs, it's very clear cut.

If they ask to use other HS code, ask them and show which code they want to use, and you can argue from there.

That's why you must ask the seller to print the HS code on the invoice, I've only had to pay sales tax (before GST) when purchasing PG 00R.

Well in my justification, I've been working in supply chain for many years, know the how's, do's and dont's when purchasing and importing stuffs

In traditional point of view, it is a 'toy'

There's not much love for Zaku I

And I'm running out of RG to build, left only Wing Zero and Zeta

Any hobby shop in midvalley selling paints? Need to get something and will be there this evening.

3.0 hands are smaller and leaner than previous releases.

2.0 has cartoonish hands but if we are going down the technicality road, it's anime accurate hence the 'real' representation of the mecha.

3.0 has one of the best articulation not just in its own variations but across Gunpla.

If you want fun kit, get 3.0.

Do the weapons first, otherwise you would be eager to rush them and make mistakes when cleaning the nubs.

Ask Kinokuniya if they still keep them.

Nub marks on mostly white kit are not a problem though.

Try cleaning them off of a dark kit like Banshee or Rezl.

Have had enough of Unicorn with that same 2007 design, time to move on.

Yes, so don't lose hope on 00 MG kits

Ooohhh I can already imagine an MG for this guy.

I don't know whether the 'missing' abdomen is supposed to fit in something like a core booster, but it looks incomplete.

This guy deserves a badass physical sword to go with the Duke-like shoulders

A Gundam with beard

I'm a sucker for RG, can't resist them even though I'm not fond of a particular kit.

But now this evangelical Wing Zero is posing fabulously at my workstation!

It's normal for every new series, and this isn't even limited to Gundam.

You can see people complained at the beginning of a new Kamen Rider, Super Sentai and even Ultraman, but grew up to love them.
