I sapu the GFT and 7-11 kits instead

Go HK buy

22k yen, max rm700
If you pre-order, should be no problem
If wait until release and stock low, local sellers will take advantage and bump up the price, like with PG Unicorn =_=

Pre-order with local sellers la I mean
When PG Unicorn pre-orders opened, the lowest I've seen is 590, others more or less 650 (excluding those cutthroat sellers )

The 2 you mentioned ain't exactly hot items

The two 2 items aren't hot, that's your problem actually
Bandai reproduce whichever kits that are in demand
Example, the least popular MG ever imo, the Hi-Zack, Bandai never reproduce it for ageeeesssss, because no point when nobody wants it

Wrong, still have import tax, then add in GST

Most people who buy those don't build them actually, it's for bragging rights

No problem one, macross fans buy their toys online, rm500-1k+, pass without problems

They don't tax under that la
And you can ask how many of us kena double tax after GST implemented

Gamble

Wow, I didn't know
Well, not like I got taxed before *touchwood*
Need clarification from those who got double taxed

Or maybe.... Because gunpla is not "toy"?

You are getting people wrong again
What he meant is transparent kits are IMPOSSIBLE to replicate with any amount of modelling skills at all
It only can be achieved at the injection molding process
Hence it's quite worthy for some to pay the extra costs for getting transparent kits

Not stupidly paying high for it, but not paying higher than retail
And retail price here means the yen price multiply roughly 0.03-0.031, then add about 10%
So a 3000yen kit, we expect the maximum price here is RM110, we will not buy if price exceeds that
Some kits are like forever won't have promo/offer, so we don't expect finding it selling waaaay below the retail price

get primer spraycans from hardware stores, or your favourite shop, some Mr. DIY shops have
I mean those cheap spraycan brands, not those imported ones in ACE

both Sazabi and Sinanju < RM300
or
Sazabi/Sinanju < RM300

please make it clear

NOTE: the original base do not have the blue lines, those are painted by the reviewer

yupe, no screws, and gone are the random hole placements

all I can say is you need skills and experience, plus patience
done correctly, the waterslides can look perfect, however, the gold quality of the waterslides seriously is not worth the effort and time
like what Admiral said, simple gold marker could do the job

yupe

if you're only painting the gold lining on bare plastic, just use an art knife to scrape off the excess

Tamiya Undergroundz @ 1 Utama
ICW @ Sunway Mas
MyOtaku @ Sri Rampai

there are other hobby shops that cater to non-gunplas which also sell paints and stuffs, but I do not not know much about them, can try asking in other threads

the reason why modellers use enamel as the second layer for reverse wash because acrylic thinner is able wipe away lacquer/oil based paints too
enamel thinner also can wipe away both acrylic and lacquer paints, so use zippo fluid is the answer

that LED light is actually UV light, and UV light will work on any colour as long the material has phosphor

if Bandai ever want to go for another bad guy PG, Sinanju would be more feasible
not only it's more popular now, physically it's easier to make one of Sinanju than Sazabi lol

How did you apply? Tell step by step, then maybe can pinpoint where's the fault

Did you try daiso?
I usually find at those generic shoplot hardware stores
Oh, Jalan Pasar 100% got

Probably due to some oil residue on the plastic from the injection-molding process, next time you might wanna wash your runners with soap water before start building
