You clearly said "Yea and watch Bandai disappoint by reusing the older MG V Gundam's frame.". So you implied that re-using frames is a disappointing thing. Yet that is exactly what the new Seed MGs do and what the Wing EW kits do. You even mentioned (many annoying times) that you want bandai to make a ZGMF frame so they could re-use it. You only ever think old=bad. You dont know anything about quality of the engineering. You are just a delusional fool that cannot create a consistent train of thought. You say HGs are a waste of time yet you previously mentioned ordering almost every HG00 kit in a big order from gundam planet. You said you bought more SDs recently despite the fact that you already did that before. Stop spouting so much BS all the time. Nobody likes it. |

And EVERYONE knows how much I've been wanting a MG Exia R2. Same applies to like (for example) MG Freedom. I would buy it, but what's stopping me is the potential for an RM Ver. considering that: a. it's a popular design b. Bandai has been doing them . . Selling some GunPla again.. HG Age-2 Normal SP Ver. eBay Item Number: 141124548117 HG Legilis Memory of Eden Ver. eBay Item Number: 141124549548 Just wanted to ask if these were fair.

Nope, not fair prices at all.
Nobody wants to pay such high prices for a HG kit regardless if its limited edition. They would rather paint a normal one than throw away money. It would be cheaper to buy 2 HGs, spray paints and some nice hobby supplies than one of your kits. |

So they'd get charged more money and wait longer as opposed to if you bought from my listing. Regardless, I gave people the option to message me an offer if they waned to buy it.

Someone give me an estimate on how much brain cells I lost just now, especially on the comparison to pain medicine Suiton, NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER compare medicine and health to a hobby, people will ALWAYS pay more to keep themselves healthy A better comparison would be getting a cheap car that gets the job done for its price, or you can pay higher for a nice sport car that gets the same job done, but its way nicer See how EASY it is to come up with a effective comparison? And Bandai, gimme my MG Gundam Mk.V!!! (thats at least 3 suits with that frame) |

Don't want to go too off-topic here, but just want to point this out (because it urks me as someone in the health industry): The comparison to medicine is not only bad because people need it. It is also very inaccurate. Generics are ALMOST ALWAYS as effective as the brand name. Their low cost isn't because generic manufacturers "added less useful things to make them cheaper". Their low cost is because generic manufacturers don't need to waste millions of dollar on decades of research. They just copy what the brand already have. Just want to get bit that cleared up.
*ahem* But yeah, Suiton. Go ahead and buy all your online exclusives and expensive Bandai kits. After all, without "hardcore" fans like yourself, how else could Bandai fund so many exclusives? |

^ True that
Also, I think I'll refrain from Buying Build Strike. The short talk with Obelisk yesterday, and finishing Destiny today made me understood the reason why old SEED Kits are considered terrible in proportion. (even if they have nice details) On the other hand, that means more money for tons of booster

And like I said, gave me more incentives to buy tons of booster packs (1 HG = 2 Boosters) so either way, Bandai still get my money.

The HG Strike Freedom which came out later than HG Destiny I think is also bad proportion wise but atleast better than the NG 1/100 counterpart, it's also a great deal since it comes with an effect parts for Dragoon system. Last edited by Shinobi2013; 2013-11-25 at 00:29. |

I would've checked local hobby shops and gotten it there or at least order online from a site that is based in your country.

Also, you have to pay for customs anyway, no matter where you buy it. The store you buy the kits from had to import the kits as well afterall! To make up for that they put the shipping and customs fees onto the price of the model. The PG Strike Freedom costs 20.000 Yen at HLJ for example. That's 145€ or $196. But when at the German online store it costs 320€ or $432! Twice as much as the price as HLJ! If I ordered the PG Strike Freedom from HLJ it would cost about 240€ or $322 including EMS shipping and customs fees. So the price of the German store includes the price of the kit itself, shipping to Germany to their warehouse, customs fees that they had to pay for the delivery and roughly 80 bucks on top for them as profit (they probably make more profit then that when they buy the models in bulk). Because if they sold it to me for 240€ they wouldn't make any money with the whole thing. So yeah, depending on shipping costs it's always cheaper to order from Japan, even if you have to pay for customs. |
