Just finished my review on the TT Throne Eins. For those who wants to know some of my experience with it, can read my review here.

@nobunaga2: Share with us how much and where did you buy those from. ^^

some shop at pudu plaza also sell GD/TT hongli stuff... just came back from there... the price for HG and SD is cheap... but MG... nearly the same lor... saw the unikorn for rm130

The one located at the lower ground floor ?

Quite a number of models. But, if not wrong, they only give 10% discount for purchases above RM50 and 20% discount for above RM200.

I still prefer Jiayang at Jln Raja Laut (50% discount if buy 6).

But, the problem is since they are wholesalers, the stocks are unpredictable. Further, they hardly restock the same models. So unless you follow up with them, you will miss out. I have been waiting for 3 weeks for their new stocks (supposed to come last week), but still no news yet.

Hoping that the new stocks will arrive next week (supposed to have some MGs). Will update once surveyed.

me still bandai lover... lolz... but i kind of considering to get some to make some dead gundam... lolz...

just bought 6 kits

1/100 Providence LWD rm34
1/100 Blue astray LWD RM34
1/100 Duel gundam LWD Rm34

1/144 Tierren Ground TT RM20
1/144 over flag TT RM20
1/144 Luna Gunner zaku LWD RM20

how is the price? ok a?
ive done assemblying providence, the looks of the plastic quality quite similar to bandai's, but the joints are loose, no strenght on the limbs, just enough to stand and pose some light poses

If you are in KL, try Jiayang, Jln Raja Laut.

Last month, bought 8 1/144 TT HGs for RM10.50 each (shared with friend).

That time, they have Dynames, Nadleeh, BuCue Hound, Virtue, Kyrios and Throne Eins. Not sure what's left now. If you can wait, I will update once new stocks arrives.

wooooooow
thats 50% of wat i paid for.
D:
il be waiting for ya update then.

currently assemblying this blue astray. it sucks, parts dont fit D:

even tho same brand as the providence, the quality differ so much

The head of the LWD Providence just looks... terrible. >.>;

@liewpk: Woah, RM10.50 EACH for those? So wish I can get those prices over here. So much cheaper than what I can get here, way cheaper. ^^;

So far, from what I gather (from guys at the shops), the best brand is still TT (as compared to GD, LWD and Gho). I myself tried GD before - lousy colour and some parts don't fit.

RNDM - you buy from the Chinese products shops also, right ? Are they wholesalers too ? Why not try asking for discount for bulk purchases ? That's what I first did at the 3 shops at Jln Raja Laut. I saw some ppl buying in bulk and just asked. But even now, sometimes they only give 20% off (must be bad mood), so I just walk off.

^I don't think the shop I went to is a wholesaler though but maybe I can try. Might be able to get them cheaper, hopefully, when I go to the shop next time. ^^

Thanks for the advice.

Stupid friggin GHD. I will never touch another one of those. I didn't even know I was getting knock offs when I bought them 4 or 5 years ago off Ebay. GHD made me think that the Destiny line had gone to crap in the 1/100 scale after I built the Destiny, Strike Freedom and Impulse. Now I know better, but it kept me from buying 1/100 Destiny models for years.

Thanks to this forum I got myself a GHD PG Strike from Kota Raya on Saturday.
Spent my whole Sat and Sunday at home chopping and cutting and sandwiching layers of plastic together.
It's now finished with out paint an panel lining.

How much did u get the GHD PG Strike for?

a long long time ago i bought that providence from midvalley...fogot the name of that shop but it just beside tamiya shop.( now replace with comic shop).
make me headache coz bila sambung ia tak rapat macam ori gundam...so kena trim banyakkkkkkk utk kasi ngam...haaa...waste my time...
so now prefer ori gundam...

Just sharing my 5 cents worth of opinion on this "pirated" Gundam.

- Packaging is decent and reasonably good. nothing that could damage the parts inside. It's probably due to the rough handling because it's a china product that they didn't take more care to it.
- No there were no broken or damaged parts inside when I got it. Only some parts have partially fallen off the tree but not damaged.
- Yes, metal parts, chrome parts, LEDs and light component units are included.
- Yes, there are parts that are slightly molded out of shape but mostly are the poly caps. There are 3 types of plastic being used. the soft poly caps that are usually molded out of shape but not too badly that is cause any major defects to the model. the medium plastic mostly used for the white armor parts gets slightly extra molded pieces that you need to cut off and the hard plastic for the inner frame where it has the lest defects of the previous 2.
- No it's not that hard to build especially for those with amateur experience in building model kits.
- Yes there are some parts where you will require extra work to get it to fit.
- Join movements can be a little too tight because the poly caps are not molded perfect. just need to be careful while moving it.

Final Verdict.
For having to pay RM250 for this figure compared to RM700 or more for an actual Bandai kit. I MUST say that it was very WELL WORTH it. it's not perfect and not extremely bad. it holds together very well and will make outstanding figure for display.

(By saying this I'm not discouraging ppl from buying Original Bandai Kits. PLEASE buy ori as we need ppl to pay for Bandai's RND to make new kits )

^Erm, the original PG Strike can be bought for RM5XX at certain places like Graffiti Toys. RM250 is a bit high for me IMO for a bootleg.

PS: Hey, liewpk, Jalan Raja Laut area got sell any PGs also? If got, what's the price range? >.>

Well, for RM5XX can probably built the strike twice for GHD and can probably use one for custom battle damage. one display at home and one in office. XD

Added on August 4, 2009, 11:09 pmI don't have any reviews on this guy... But worth the buy... The grey parts are painted with silver...

TT Strike Noir




90% like the original... Recommended for those who doesn't afford to buy ori Gundams... Like me (coz I concentrate my money on buying Transformers products)

I know where is pacific coz my home town is in BM. Too bad I'm in KL now.
I think 350 still ok since the ori is about double the price. I'm not sure how low these bootlegs can go but considering the price of the MGs are not even 50% of the ori price. I've no regrets getting the GHD Strike and I hope that TT Hong Li will do a better job on the molding defects.
