Is here a good place to ask around Frame Arm Girls builds? They all seem QUITE expensive compared to even MG Gundams.

On gunpla topic, bought a random gold marker to try out coloring with it. VERY mixed results
*
1) frame arm girls are expensive because they are not mass produced like gunpla

2) define "random"

Wow. Thanks!
I used to be a SW fan, but the sequels, kinda, killed all my interest in it XD

Bandai SW kits are really damn good, even better than their gunpla kits in terms of details. i would say bandai makes the best star wars model kits in the market.

P-bandai only for backpacks. The base kit is retail.
Previously appeared on major store as MG "MS A" release on August for 5500 yen.

Ye. its really gorgeous. but DAMN if only the sequels didn't kill all interest in SW for me.

I wish we could get a 40k and Bandai collab. I know there's that space marine. But i want, like, a Titan build, or a Gothic Armada build

Warhammer 40k plamo kits ? hmn.... i guess it's probable but how does games workshop worry about that eating into their product sales i wonder


QUOTE(Marcion @ May 29 2021, 04:00 PM)

SRP-wise, yes cheaper. But unlike standard release, there is no retailer discount I think. So if local shops were to import them and sell, more or less need the price would be SRP + shipping + shop profit margin. For standard releases, the retailer discounts were high enough to cover shipping and shop profit margin when selling at SRP in Malaysia

Sigh... MY is too small market for Bandai, TH & SG is getting premium bandai officially but we are not getting it

I didn't know TH also has P-Bandai. Is SG market really bigger than MY? I thought it would be MY>SG
*
Yes, SG is bigger market because they buy MORE due to more disposable income la....kits are cheaper in SG.

QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jun 18 2021, 07:53 PM)
Lol open P-Bandai store doesn't mean the items will be cheaper. Price is pretty much same with you buy from 3rd party side from local hobby shop. Marked up with high shipping rates via EMS shipping.

Main problem with P-Bandai, they shipped directly from Japan instead of having warehouse locally. So if the item is made in China the item will need to go to Japan instead shipped directly from China to local P-Bandai store(warehouse).
*
Agree but at least there's official channel for us to pre-order upcoming kits without worrying if we can get a slot or paying too much?




Check out the custom build Penelope by GBWC Runner Up Kelvin Ong

Hi
Its been almost 6/7 years since i last buy gunpla

Used to build hg/rg/mg
And busy with work so stop this hobby and collect shfiguarts
But shf like more expensive now.

I just Got a new job. Weekend mostly free now
Was thinking to go back to gunpla
But i lost track d of all the releases
Any top 5 or 10 recommendation for rg/hg/ and entry grade?
*
Welcome back
1) entry grade only got 1 now, so it's the RX78-2
2) RG - most are awesome but avoid the zeta
3) HG - too many to list here lol....but the thunderbolt kits are great and check out the retro robot kits like mazinger, grandizer, etc...
