PG for some parts, its basically the bigger version of the MG, except with more parts and more details. For snap fit, it should not pose any serious challenges. Just have to pay a little attention to the manual for certain gimmicks.

I have completed 2 PGs in the from of Zeta and 00 Raiser. Currently working on Unicorn at the moment.

Probably 400 - 450 in total for these 3, I don't buy local stocks as I have my means to get them from Japan. Saves a load of money compared to buying from shops here.

The Unicorn itself was bought when I was away in Tokyo for vacation. The price of the Unicorn here in SG, you can probably buy 2 in Tokyo.

Even with shipping, it will cheaper.

It is more like a certain distro here can't be bothered to peg the prices properly against the current Yen rate.

For those who intend to build PG Unicorn with the LED, I will strongly advise build it when you have the LED kit.
