or fedex :P but usually thats just insanely expensive... but sometimes when they have a good deal on HLJ fedex isnt THAT bad^^ it really depends.
but still, id prefer a shop i can go to... like i said in an earlier post, the only kits i was able to find here were some overpriced HG models... but right now im just happy to get my deathscythe, the ikaruga and 4 gatling guns^^ that will keep me busy for a while. i also have to finish an armored core model that i found in a comic store. i have that thing sitting here forever now but i just hate the manual, i cant get myself to building it^^ |

its really kinda sad though, i mean on many kits we could save like 50% just because the shipping costs wouldnt apply! whats interesting though is that bandai appears to try selling kits in america: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yod3NiNtNAc the entry grade RX-78-2, complete with translated box texts and manual! *le gasp* maybe they start to see the potential of selling gunpla overseas^^ although i hope they sell those in europe, too because importing stuff from the states would be just as expensive for me as importing it from japan >_> |

i suppose here in germany there are even less people who are into gunpla so the shops usually cant even risk importing kits like that. i have never seen a master grade kit in a shop here and ive been to the biggest comic stores in my area. oh well, at least there still is the internet^^ |

anyway, i guess in Boston, i'm pretty lucky, i have found 2 local store carry some Gundam kit, but the selection are pretty limited. but at least their price is not that crazy. i got a MG Shenglong Gundam from a store call anime madness, it's only $44. i say that reasonable. |

i got my first kits from ebay as well. i was lucky though, everything arrived in a good condition^^ i think i ordered my MG strikfe freedom, sinanju and unicorn from there and i also got the shin musha gundam for free by accident XD but after that i ordered everything else from HLJ, ishop2go and amiami. thats a great price for the shenlong i guess. $44 is about 30€, i can only dream about prices like that XD oh and the new HG shining gundam looks pretty sharp! i think ill get that and the god gundam as a master grade though^^ especially since they just cost 2000 yen each, you cant beat that when it comes to master grades!^^ i mean, the infinite justice alone costs 4000 yen :P |

got myself some tamiya metallic black to paint some weapons today, i must say thats a really really nice color and looks WAY better than bandais generic grey^^ it also coats everything very well and doesnt seem to form bubbles, its a really neat color!
i tested it on the strikes beam rifle and wing zeros twin buster rifle. i will post some pictures with the unicorns gatlings once they are here :P |
