hi, i'm a begginer in gundam models. i was looking for internet shops, but only found in the us or japan. i was wondering if there are some shops in europe (i'm from slovakia), since with my friend we want to buy models, bandai original ones. if there aren't, where do you think is better to buy? i was looking at hlj.com, but the shipping is quite expensive >_>
edit: i almost forgot, hlj.com had a MG nu Gundam, but now there isn't available anymore. is bandai re-releasing a new MG version, like the zeta MG ver.2 ? |

Nu MG v2.0 :s donno I really dont want that, the only shops in Euro I have passed by before are in UK and they were damn expensive, I would pay high shipping for hlj or who ever japanese or HK website rather than paying high priced items and having a similar shipping cost later...

And regarding stores in Europe who sells Gundam models I'm afraid we're in quite a bad situation, friend. There are some here in Sweden, but they only ship locally. Archonia has a very small selection, which used to be bigger but they seem to only be emptying their stock and then never expanding again. They do have the PG Mk. II Titans... I use HLJ the most, since they have decent prices and fast delivery, no problems at all so far for me. Also, why must the boomerang on IJ's shield be so incredibly huuuuuge? It looks more like an MSIA ^^. And you still have to remove the head to tilt the backpack - that's just silly ^^. |

hm well, looks like we'll have to use hlj too. i was wondering, if bandai's snap together models are difficult. you know, if i have to start with HG models or if i could choose a MG too, since i want the zeta gundammodel, but PG looks hard. so i want to order the MG zeta ver.2 (and the MG nu, but it's not available anymore ), but still don't know if it's hard for a begginer (my friend wants the MG freedom gundam)

I disagree with the 1/60's (non-PG) being as difficult as a Master Grade, with the exception of the Strike Freedom. The 1/60's are just scaled up 1/100's with a bit of extra fluff added on, so I don't think a 1/60 is any more difficult. In fact, it maight even be easier since painting larger areas is much simpler. |

As the kit grade goes up, there's more parts to be cut/trimmed/snap fit'd. Nothing more. You're essentially doing the same thing. |
