Hi all, I just got "approval" from my wife that I am allowed to buy gundam during japan trip next year. rclxm9.gif

Just need to check with you guys, not sure whether you guys know this or not. I will just give it a shot.

1) The best place to purchase Gundam is in yodobashi, right?

2) Is the price of the model a lot cheaper than purchase in Malaysia? I plan to buy entire SEED MG model series in one shot.

3) Its been a long time since I had my own gundam since 5 years ago. Any recommended model to buy? Only interested in 1/100MG and 1/60 PG.

Thanks!

It doesn't matter where you depart from. The issue lies when you touch down at Malaysian airport.

Then I should be fine, I will touch down at Singapore Changi Airport as well.

Perhaps I got it wrong. Your home is in Singapore?

Second home is in Singapore, First home is in JB. So I most likely will bring the model one by one back to JB to prevent malaysia custom check.

Then you're in for a real treat. Singapore Customs are more thorough with items from overseas doh.gif

I did a rough check. The amount of having Tax Relief for arrival is SGD600, which is around RM1.9k. I do not think I will spend so much for Gundam. laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Somemore with 8% tax reduction, should be fine. right?

If I get it in Tokyo, will it be somehow common to get it? This model looks nice, especially the shield

I think I will go for PG Unicorn (Red) for now. The Green and Gold Edition is way too expensive.

I have question to those who have PG which contain the lighting effect. Will you guys really turn on the light every night? I'm still deciding whether I go for the LED pack for Unicorn or not.

I have RM2k budget for Gundam purchase during Japan trip. Gundam Unicorn PG is most likely 99% will get. Thinking of getting all SEED MG and some from SEED Destiny. But then if I'm going for another Gundam Exia PG, I might need to slash around 5 boxes of MG away just for this PG.

Too bad Gundam 00 MG is only limited to Gundam Exia and 00 Raizer. Would like to see Seravee Gundam, Arios and Cherudim in the MG list.

He's referring to your list of 00 MGs currently available, which also includes GN-X(which IIRC is also the only non-UC grunt unit to have an MG)  tongue.gif

I did some research on the price for Seed Model, all these I got it from yodobashi online. Not sure whether it is accurate or not. Total after 8% Tax deduction is around RM1992.

How are u gonna snatch all these boxes back?  ohmy.gif
i think it gonna take a lot of space in the luggage

Not sure how though. I may need to fold all the boxes and place all the parts in different plastic bag, but I will add more baggage. Now my wife has a question is.... Where am I going to display my 12 gundams. She's shaking her head while asking this... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

I suggest you try to check local shops (offline, online or even in lowyat.net garage sale section) first. Maybe some of them can be bought cheaper or close to the price you saw at Yodobashi. And unless you take Air Asia, quite hard to bring back all 12 together with you to Malaysia (Air Asia don't have limitations on the number of check-in luggage as long as didn't exceed the weight limit, while most of other airlines only allow 2 check-in luggage despite having higher weight limit). My advice would be you should get the Japan-exclusive ones while you're there, as those are usually have jacked-up (by a lot) price here.
*
So far I haven't seen any price in Malaysia close to the 8% Tax deduction price yet. But I will go one more round. I'm taking singapore airline. So not sure whether I can take more than 2 baggage or not.

Please tell the LED will be sold separately.

Nice! I can put this on my office table. Sure shiok!

Has anyone gotten Exia PG? Is it I am the only person who think its size is much smaller than PG Unicorn?

The Banshee Nor Final Battle Edition PG 1/60 looks so nice!!! But the price is a bit..... steep.

The premium gunplay mostly are model with transparent plastic, or mesh finishing paint. What made these so premium??? mind enlighten me? hmm.gif hmm.gif

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?
