just noticed that Gundam prices in Bangkok is 10-20% more expensive than in KL lol

Syukur KL people

went to Japan and had some free time to look at Gunpla scenes there and here are my observations

1) for new release Gundam eg: MG Barbatos, RG NU Gundam with Funnels and the G40 Gundam, you will have more luck finding one in Shopee compared to physical shops in Akihabara (Yodobashi, AmiAmi, Volks, Mandarake, Surugaya Specialty, Bicu Bicu Bic Camera, Softmap, Yamada Denki, etc.) so don't buy common release lah, difference RM10-30 better enjoy your holiday. Funny thing is I can only find MG Barbatos at one random small shop that is not specialized in Hobby stuff somewhere in the middle of Asakusa. Didn't buy it because already bought in Shopee

2) If you're going to Gundam Base no need to go to the common release, more expensive than Malaysia. Just buy the event item and limited item there only. price not bad for the BASE release

3) P-Bandai hunting, Mandarake and Surugaya is based on luck. If you can find one, you can lah. But you need to know that most people around the world will aim Akihabara and Nakano Broadway branch so most stuff there is jacked lol and rare stuff will kena sapu before you arrive. You can get better luck finding some stuff on Amazon JP and send to your airbnb/hotel. Managed to find the JR Train RX78 and the Ichiban Kuji RX78 at Shibuya Mandarake instead

4) GodHands? kena sapu already at shops by mainland and angmoh tourist already. Want to hoard panel line marker and pen? also kena sapu already

so support your local sellers lah XD
