Guys, one question. Where did you purchase gundam model in Malaysia? Because I stay in JB. Is there any online shop I can order the gundam model? I have decided to purchase some of the small MG in Malaysia where I will get the PG in Tokyo this year May.

I saw the Mandarake...ELYN 1/100 scale model Kshatriya, it looks so gorgeous... Does anyone know what does it mean by ELYN?

Guys, any recommended website for me to purchase Gunpla? (in Malaysia)

Also, I plan to get the gunpla cutter knife and some panel paint in Japan. Will there be any custom clearance problem due to sharp cutter?

Thanks for the info. Just wanna check, how many bottle of panel paint I need to get for 3 PG and 6 MG? Also, I plan to repaint the strike freedom MG 1/100 puke gold to gold, will one bottle of gold paint enuf? Any recommended gold paint brand to get?

agreed that it's not for straight builders.. it's definitely a huge challenge to anyone's modelling skill, but one cannot argue that it does look amazing when (or if?) it is completed

You should topcoat a few layers before snapping them together
anyhow, this sinanju gundam base exclusive red looks nice...

Even toy shops don't cramp. Gamer's arena's display is very sparse.

So are most hobby shops.

Only ones that are cramp are probably those shops in Amcorp mall because they need to display their products for potential buyers to see and most aren't model kits.

I think only IT Toy have alot of display but they don't feel cramp due to the cabinet size & shop size being very big.

Usually Indie shops will have cramp display due to space limit, just like apartments.

because they lack space like i said? or got too many used item for sale?

why not? The most standard discount you can get from MOST large retailers in Japan is approximately 20%. Coupled with tax refund and credit card discounts, you're looking at at least 30% off the retail. Of course, this is is assuming the retailers in KL don't mark up. I've not bought anything locally in the past year, but from what I recall, shops here normally sell at a slightly yen rate compared to exchange rate, so even more savings there.

As for tax, I've never had any problems with customs in all my trips, and I transport the kits in large boxes. Officer ask me what's in the box, I tell them Gundam kit. No problems so far..

but i check the online retailer from japan they only have DX set for Gipsy Avenger with colored box
this is some kind of special release not for normal release right?

Weekend chit chat - what was your first gunpla guys ? mine was the HG Strike

USD100 for a REAL GRADE with LED....almost RM400...NOT SURE if i will buy

Last time mastermind gunpla can buy at isetan but now must go through lottery system in premium bandai japan. WTF.

Already got confirmed date for this



Anyone want to tumpang me buying this? Got someone in Japan who can help me buy, but I have to pay him fare to Odaiba and later shipping to Malaysia, which can be made cheaper per unit if can buy more than one.
