The only country that benefit P-Bandai is only Japan.
As P-Bandai US,Singapore and Hong Kong you need to pay very expensive shipping fee. No different than us that buy through official middle man from P-Bandai Japan.

I dont get it. Why cant have warehouse located at those countries that use P-Bandai services instead of directly shipping from Japan? And ship from there(warehouse). It would greatly reduced the cost like how non P-Bandai item is using now. But no. Instead Bandai chose to use only warehouse from Japan and force us to use EMS shipping.

And also P-Bandai mean the availability of item is become more harder.
I mean the retail price of P-Bandai is only mark up a little bit but I need to preorder is as soon as it open to sale. Or regret it later and maybe decided to buy from scalped market price. Bandai rarely reissue the P-Bandai items too unless it is in high demand.

While non P-Bandai release I can choose to buy it whenever I want. Like no worry buy a 10-15 years old kit because the availability of regular kit is always easier.

The official middle man for P-Bandai JP use warehouse if I not miataken. Only pay a little for handling charge.

The shipping method how about use kargo ship way as alternative? Maybe can take more than 3 months. If you are inpatient then can use EMS.



TBH I dont care P-Bandai items doesnt get discount like bulk buy regular release
Gladly will pay for its retail price. The HG P-Bandai are in my affordable range. The kit availability concerns me most.

Why not? Make warehouse like HLJ. Got total item storage limit and period.
Let Bluefin(American distributor for Bandai) handle the warehouse for their P-Bandai US. Should be no problem since Bluefin got their warehouse already?

There is a rare case like MG 00 XN Raiser is not P-Bandai because of Bluefin

Litt Tak Warehouse sale 8-10 December.
1/100 Graze at RM50.

Yeah "warehouse sale" for 1-2 item at discounted price while others at standard price. If you happened to live near then go for it.

The best review of PG Exia so far.
Toriko knows how to pose his Exia compared to other reviewers.

Metal Build F91 is not recent release lol. In fact got nothing to do with it. Different Bandai division.
I wish GP00 Blossom to get RE100 since they bothered to make GP04 as RE100.

AmazonJP exclusive is way worser than P-Bandai.
Ok Bandai just announced that HGBF AZ Gundam can get at normal stores outside Japan.

Not confirmed to be regular release yet but it is be easier to get.

https://hlj.com/holiday-sale-2017-dec-8-gdm

HLJ Christmast sale until 22th Dec.
I suggest buy non gunpla such as Robot Damashii, NXEDGE Style as their packages are quite small so shipping will be cheaper and the aftermarket price of non gunpla items are higher than gunpla.

Saw Robot Damashii Z'gok discounted at 40%. No money right now sigh

An MG Gundam Mk V would be nice

Hmm rumor start spreading on twitter saying MG Deep Striker will out.

But this rumors sound like PG Exia rumor. 50-50 chance to get true. Someone must leaked the info ..

MG been unexciting since years but if they make Deep Striker it will be damn worth.

Two points this Banshee ver KA have.
1.Waterslide decal which is original Unicorn Ver Ka doesnt have. This one is slightly different than P-Bandai Final Battle Ver.
2.The picture look like Banshee has gold plated v-fin and mask which is previously Final Battle Ver main feature. The P-Bandai ver cost at 5,260 yen. This one is 5,400 yen. There is no reason to not make it gold plated on retail release. This picture was put beside MG Unicorn Ver Ka which is straight build and gold sticker on v-fin. This is just assumption but lets wait for actual runner preview.


I dont have MG Banshee yet but I will choose this over MG Banshee OVA. I just cant into horrible designed decal and awful claw. It look better only in anime.

Purposely make it less sticky because it can peel paint underneath if the glue residue is too strong.

Even masking tape from local hatdware shop such as Mr.DIY now have less strong residue masking tape already

Lol mcm true je
Price is 20,000yen.
2000yen more expensive than PG Exia 18,000yen


Unicorn milking need to end!!

Instead of looking bootleg kit, go for assembled Bandai kit. There are lots of people sell at LYN garage sale at cheap price.

I lost some parts of my HG 00 Raiser so I searched at garage sale and found people sell cheap even though it is broken(not the parts I want). Bought it and the leftover part can use for modding or simply "battle damaged" build

If Deep Striker confirmed, that mean S Gundam will get new updated MG since Deep Striker is based on S Gundam. Plus the must make EX-S.
