And the things is that all this stress is over MG kits normally discounted price in Japan. Go Japan, HK, Taiwan must hoot at least a year supply of kits.

Except the zakus, all still there. I'm guessing people found the online prices for the rest. The recolor or transparent editions not that appealing to me.

Most of the sub $50 MG are gone.

Anyone knows if the P Bandai gundam est here is about the same price as those overseas?

Also, is it not a good time to buy gundam from jp since yen is stronger now?

We are paying in SGD which is weakening against yen now plus still got bank conversion charge. Still, cheaper than most Singapore retail. In SG, have to depend on carousell if don't have enough orders to justify overseas shipping.

u gonna check in neo zeong????
the earth federation forces will come attacking.... LOL

Have emailed the singapore-narita sector airlines if they can accept it as check in luggage. Shipping it to sg by Japan post is estimated $90 there.

When I think about it, after CCA just how did zeon pay for the development and construction of the neo zeong. Yet able to keep it hidden from earth intelligence.

HLJ is enough already as they have seasonal sales unlike eBay and taobao. For the big size or expensive p Bandai sets, cheaper most of the time to go HK, Taiwan to buy if no chance go Tokyo. Korea is almost like sg prices but got more range than sg. If can get Japan retail price in Seoul, consider a good deal imo.

thanks bro, understand that HLJ is having a promo now for PG unicorn. would like to check if its worth just getting just that particular item and roughly how much will the shipment be? Next thing that i want to ask is, if were to import from taiwan as compared to HLJ, which one will be more cost-effective?

PG Unicorn will be about $50 shipping by EMS as its almost 3.5kg by itself and a pretty big box at that. Taiwan and HK will have better exchange rate as the SGD not doing that good against the strengthening yen now.

Typical taiwan hobby shop.


Might as well get online, a lot of the deals at the Gunpla Expo gone liao.
