now sale at OG. the following are what i saw.

RG exia $30
MG exia dark matter $60
MG red warrior $58
HG denial gundam + HG tryon $58
HG kabakali + HG gundam g-self perfect pack (this one i forgot)

i guess the RG exia is the most good deal, since Japan RRP is also about $30 (before individual store discount)

They are ezbuy now. usually anything also can for sea shipments. can clarify with them as they have local office here.

Just saw their reply on my query. Unfortunately, paints and thinners are considered forbidden items and cannot be shipped via any method. I gave then links to enlly's taobao page for Mr Colour paint and thinner to look at.

Anyone used krylon anti uv clear coat before? I used it and the paint still feels sticky to touch even though it has been aired for more than 48 hours

You can use Skycart to purchase the paints, but thinner is a sure no.

But it will be via sea shipment.

How thick did you spray? I just do light coats. Krylon in general is expensive in sg but about $5 or so per can in the US.

Give it a week.

China Gundam, take train to Shenzhen. Bandai Gundam, Kwong Wah street and Sino centre. Toy shops in general usually are open in the afternoon. Toys R Us there have good range too but the prices.

I supposed mine is still considered thin coat, because I didn't achieved smooth surface.still can see the droplets not able to fully join up with one another, thus a bit "bumpy" on the surface. I did multiple coats though

I give up on RG. A 1/144 MG is too stressful for me.

RG is good if it has a shitty HG counterpart and no space to display.

In that case, go for Revive kits. Their articulation is amazing for poses if get a base for them. In Japan, those bases go for around 500 yen.

It averages $40 by EMS for any 2 MG that is available so far if cannot wait for the kit you want to be on sale. Doubt I will take SAL for MG kits. Interesting, it would mean that I need to bring back 18-20 MG kits to cover cost of the airline tickets. Thanks for asking the question.
