If run gundam business, u think can profit?

I am awared the competition is very high in this sub field...

Ape pandangan /k?

gundam or gandum or gendang?

godam?

if your price is lower than our competitors and service is good...sure will have customers

plastic kit or weed??

I also interested.

I think it will be high costing but very little profit margins because many competition of prices.

*Gunpla*
1. You are targeting a niche in an already niche plastic models market.
2. Only 1 official distributor in Malaysia: Litt Tak
3. Consider diversifying into other toys and hobbies merchandise as well.
4. Be part of the community like how some shops became a hub for plamo lovers to gather and build their Gunpla.
5. Look into Price, Service and Social Engagement.
6. Profit margin is low. Engaging in a price war hurts both you and your competitors.

1. subject to sales
2. subject to low margin
3. subject to forex
4. subject to storage/warehouse

good luck.

Official distributor mah. RRP is definitely higher than street price.

Trust me, gona be hard af. Advancing in the field also susah af.

Lebih baik jual burger, 1 night few hundred if you burger decent.. Night job lagi, day time can work as other stuff..

Pricing matter but depends on the supplier first

Plastic

I see mostly the market price is way too expensive.
As long got profit, I OK
But must got profit la

I nvr knew Litt Tak is a distributer. I thought it a big shop
No any other supplier?

Also to add:
1) Hobby shops are already a small niche market. If you solely focus on Gunpla, you will be stuck with a very very small client base.
2) Initial investment is not cheap, builders will always go for RG and MG products.
3) Your competitors have P-Bandai offerings, how are you going to obtain and sell Premium Bandai kits that are Japan exclusive?
4) Not only you need to stock up on Gunpla, you also need to stock up on paints, airbrushes, glues, props.
5) In the event of sole distributor, most likely they will impose a price floor to prevent a price war. So at most you can only rely on service and other aspects.
6) You need to manage your logistics and inventory level.
7) There are other suppliers, but most likely are grey imports.
8) Yes, Gunplas are expensive because shipping, distribution, warehousing, retail rental, salaries and import duty etc. You cannot just look at the difference between Malaysia and Japan price. Bringing the item from Japan to our shops will incur costs and these costs are not cheap to begin with.
