I haven't posted here before, but I stumbled onto this topic and I thought I could help many people out. There is a new online store that is pretty new by the name of Walter Hobby Store.

It has a alot of TT Hongli and GHD model kits (though I wouldn't recommend the GHD brands). I've already purchased the 1/100 Silver Akatsuki for $26USD and the 1/100 MG Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode for $27USD. I love them both and they are extremely close to Bandai quality. I've actually done video reviews of both kits to help people out. I also compared both the Bandai and TT Hongli Stirke Freedom to show the differences. Here's a link to my channel if anyone wants to find out about the kits.

Don't forget there's two forms of shipping at that store. Sure it takes 30 to 50 days to get to you, but I think it's work it. $150 worth of TT Hongli models for $28 shipping is good to me.

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.

So TT Hongli has just gotten another Pefect Grade. The Gundam RX-178 MK2 AEUG Colours. Going for $60 at Walter Hobby Store.
