Just be sure that there's a Bandai Logo on the box and that the writings on it are in Japanese, not in Chinese or English. Also, if you regularly buy Gunpla, I think you'll be able to notice the crappy printings on the knock-off's box (compared to Bandai's). So far, that's good enough to keep me from being tricked and buying the knock-offs .

I just remember not too long ago when I was able to get kits for a reasonable price here. But now it's like a minimum of $25 for a decent 1/144 HG kit, and even more if I have to import it. Can't really afford this hobby like I used to be able to, lol.

If you live on the East Coast - Gundam Store & More - Gundam Planet (based in NJ) If you live on the West Coast - GG Infinite - Tatsu Hobby If you can't wait, it's a kit sold out, etc - Hobby Link Japan - HobbyWave (based in Canada) I know that everyone says GG Infinite is expensive, but they sometimes have good prices, and they always have those online exclusive/hard to find items. If it's not listed on their online store, it's best to send them an email to see if they have it in stock elsewhere or if they can special order it for you.

I'm waiting for GG INFINITE to get the MG Darkhound in stock then I will order that and the RG Strike Rogue together.
I'm still waiting for BlueFin to send me a confirmation email of sending out the 8 Real Grade kits I won.

So the other day my MG Qan[T] came in
Gonna take my sweet time putting that piece of art together. And still to come, the Aegis, and the 1/100 kyrios (yay transformables, go well with my MG Wing) And that'll probably be it for my gunpla purchases for the coming time (I can sympathise, Skye)

And about your "problems" 1. A day or two won't make that much of a difference... 2. This is a good thing (and It's always best to buy in bulk, flat fee or not) 3. What does it add in price and time? 4. You're right here, that is a hassle
