They severely overprice it in Japan and then do the same thing in the US, diregarding the currency exchange rate and how much DVD and BluRay went for anime. Trying to charge so much for like 1 or 2 episodes on a BluRay won't do. Then they claimed that because of too much pirating, they decided to drop the US market entirely (DVD, BluRay, and manga). Why did people in the US pirate? a. not enough releases b. severely overpriced c. not enough printed copies And now we get a online exclusive kits way too frequently and US based sellers need to charge crazy amounts. And the MG's that we want are delayed and Bandai half-asses a lot of kits in all grades and makes dumb decisions on things (like Tallgeese MG EW using yellow stickers on the thrusters), and they overly simplify inner frame for their kits (look at the MG kits from Wing EW line and Age line). |
It's going to be overpriced regardless. Being in more countries means, more profit period. They just refuse to share in it, by allowing local companies to make a profit marketing the material in the respective locations.
Anyway back on topic. I'm trying so hard to stop buying gunpla. At best I get them dry fit. They sit on my desk, mocking me. I'm probably gonna buy a MG impulse now too... A question though. With the MG Wing gundam. Is it better to paint the yellow parts gold, while also painting the blue parts metallic? Or do both in flat colours like the white and gray parts will be? |
Keep it flat.
Metallic colors look tacky and cheap. I prefer the flat/matte style. http://www.hkml.net/Discuz/viewthrea...extra=page%3D1 ^ Damn. Bandai should do an official MG Exia R3 release. |

@Suiton I'll use a flat top coat. Instead of flat colours. I personally, don't like shooting them with my airbrush. Just a personal gripe. I'm thinking something similar to this: http://www.gundammodelkits.com/model...ro-tv-ver.html |
For UC personally I like the flat military looking finish for the edgier EF units and gloss/metallic for the rounder space faction units
For AC it tends to depend more on the unit for me |
Any idea if Wing EW and Wing Zero EW will get an updated release in MG form?
Or should I just get the Shenlong EW, Deathscythe EW, Deathscythe Hell EW, and Sandrock EW in the mean time, and then hope for a Nataku EW, Heavyarms Kai EW, Sandrock Kai EW, and Tallgeese III EW? |

In Europe there is no such thing as buying gundam locally, we use online stores :). I also bought the 1/144 HG jesta ysterday, the canon version was out of stock :( |

In terms of buying online. Shipping is the real factor. You can get amazing deals from some websites, but if shipping from their location adds 30 dollars, you didn't really save much...
HG Jesta as a example. I paid around 25 USD(all costs included), which is like 19 euros/ 16 pounds. Not a great price, but it's better then not getting it... |
the retail price here is like adding the shipping price inside
local hobby shops price are slightly cheaper once a while i bought online but the shipping does kills the price also ( i do import before from HK,Taiwan & even USA) |
Spoiler:
Anyone get a weird feeling this guy won't get an MG or maybe given the whole online exclusive release? |

If they do release one in some form it will just be a pleasant surprise, no more, no less |
I mean I guess it could come out considering that it's mostly going to be reusing parts from the MG Age-1 Normal. Although I really hope they give a new waist section since those tiny little tabs break so easily and with the weight of the Gransa Armor pieces, I think it would be more likely to break.

Finally got my hands on this
