Thanks, i should be going.

For anyone who might be interested. I managed to find the RJ London paint from the Nippon paint shop directly opposite Sim Lim Tower. They have quite a decent collection of colors, but are selling each can at $6.50 (the hardware store near my house is selling at $5.50 but limited colors).

On a separate note, I'm going to squeeze out the paint from the gold gundam marker to do some detailing. Can I check what solvent (and where to find it) to use to clean my brush afterwards? I don't suppose plain water would be sufficient?

Thanks in advance

I think the marker is laquer based so i guess use laquer thinner to clean up?

they haven't give up trying to offload the AGE.

I will be looking forward to BUILD sets though.

no pic duno got what good offer. long time no hoot kit

 

[kenshinz]

After seeing the prices of the kits (and accessories) in Japan, I don't think I could ever bring myself to buy any kits in Singapore. Granted not everyone could or would make trips to Japan just to buy model kits, but the markups locally are ridiculous.

 

[alfseeto]

I'm giving the sale a miss this time. Had enough of AGE kits and not interested in the Build series.

 

[Jhyun]

No interest in AGE stuff either... maybe like last time in the end only hoot chogokin if they still have any this time round...

saw age 1 and sparrow 1/100 at Istan for $35.

 

[alfseeto]

My first ST warehouse sale was the best, managed to snag the Hardgraph MS Cyclops team at $5. Regret never buy the tank set.

So anyone got pics or report from the sale? I'm curious whether they have non-AGE MG sets this time round.

 

[Jhyun]

All MGs are AGE, around 40-50. Seed hg at 18, age hg as usual grunts and baddies, a few sd, old wing hg abt 30+, valverave 40+

Total waste of time.

Agree with u on this.. however i tend to get my kits from rakuten sg because they frequently have discounts and free shipping. I got my mg astray red frame for $56 including shipping last mth.. even 2nd hand kits also dun have that kind of price point

I get my kits when I go KL for business trips. There is barely any markup from the Yen price on the box, just convert to RM.

Of course, in Japan you can get another 20-30% off the box price, so cannot compare.
