if you want buy directly from taobao, mucher cheaper
but than you got no one to QA for you, retailers normally only get from those they trust

and than shipping will make it very not worth it

ya, china gunpla. Looks very chio and good value so i bought online.
I was not smiling during the build unlike other bandai stuffs, and the end product is just ok nia

Truth to be told, its not the worst model kit i got by far - that accolade goes to a RC car kit I got in the early 2000s

the pbandai events got some interesting pre orders and special editions
other than that most of the kits cost more than nearby shops
