wooo!! i think i'll focus more on the gunpla kits more on this post.. very very happy tt i got so much kits frm Japan.. was still worried abt how to get it on board the flight.. but with a HECK IT attitude.. i bought the kits and brought it up the plane. Never did i regret. haha.
As you can see frm the photo.. i bought a PG GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, a PG FX-550 Sky Grasper + Aile Striker, a MG Wing Zero Custom Gundam and a HG O Gundam. =DDD Coincidentally, jus an amusing fact i found out after reaching home, i bought gunpla kits of ALL grades and scales.. Perfect Grade, Master Grade & High Grade and 1/60, 1/100 & 1/144. XD Cant wait to lay my hands on them.. but i think i'll start on my MG 1/1 room renovation after finishing on RX-78-2. So tt i'll have a nice workplace to work on my models.. and a display case for them..
Looks like i spent alot on kits rite.. NOT AT ALLL.. its onli after i seen the prices at Akiba that i told myself.. i can onli buy kits when im in Japan, smthing like a one year supply to work with until the next time i go japan again.. Or work hard to live in Japan. Latter is abit harder till i get my minimum JLPT 2. *nods*
The prices of my kits..
If you can read Japanese.. you can see that PG Strike Gundam and Sky Grasper cost me a total of 13,980 Yen! That translates to abt $214 Singapore Dollar.. up to 40% off singapore's price!!! how can i resist this temptation?!?! and i oso saw PG WZC at the same price of PG Strike at 9,800 Yen.. abt $150 SGD!! HALF PRICE of singapore's... the reason i chose Strike was becos of Aile Striker's stand.. and WZC in all of its might & glory needs a stand to show. dont you agree with me? or did i make a wrong choice?
Here are the MG WZC and HG O Gundam prices.. MG WZC Gundam is ard $51 SGD and HG O Gundam is $13 SGD.. i think you're starting to get my point abt how cheap japan's kits are.. i cried when i saw the shops selling so cheap. T.T or maybe you guys alr noe and im jus starting to get enlighten... haha.
So there you have it.. feel free to ask me anything... i think i'll have a short post abt the Samurai Armor i bought lata on.. quite interesting to me. Jus some deco for my new room.
wad do you think.. a PG Strike + Aile Striker is better?? or a PG Wing Zero Custom is better?? Do post your comments to let me noe.. would realli appreciate any comments good or bad! =)
More next time...
(^^)" レンです！ じゃね！
ha MG IJ around how much in japan? MG force impulse leh? i got 1 relatives in japan tokyo. i asked him to help me to buy gundam >< but i dun noe where i can find toy stores there leh.. can help me? in tokyo de .. MG IJ MG force impulse
ReplyDeleteMan thats an awesome haul at an uber price....half price compared to singapore!! PG strike + Aile Striker is better compared with Wing Zero Custom ^^ Just love the looks on the PG Strike :D Interestingly where is your loots for Tako chan haha.
ReplyDelete@KJ: hmmm.. i dun remb seeing MG IJ or FI when i was in japan.. but using MG WZC as a gauge.. i would say it would cost ard 3500-4000yen MAX. As you noe WZC is an old kit, so give and take tt price. Where to buy... cheapest kits are at akiba definitely.
ReplyDeleteAt electric town exit, towards e main road, stay on the side of the station and walk all the way northwards. if your relative can read jap, im sure he'll have no problem. there's a few shops there.
Or alternatively, the other cheap place i found was HALC building connected to Odakyu at Shinjuku, where it houses Bic Camera. At the toy section (5th/6th floor?) i found kits with prices comparable to akiba. You can ask him to check it out.. it was on 20% discount.

Hihi! First time posting comment here. Is the offer on gundam models everywhere? Or only a particular place?
ReplyDeletePS: I prefer the PG Strike over WZC :)
Hi Marzz! いらっしゃい! welcome! =DD
ReplyDeleteoh.. i assume your everywhere means 'everywhere in Tokyo' rite? cos i've onli been to Tokyo. heh. i would say.. generally, the prices at akihabara is cheap. Cheap means its ard 70-80% of the official listed price by Bandai. Sometimes there's stock clearing in those stores and the prices drops even further.. that's when i saw a $45 SGD Launcher/Sword Striker Strike Gundam and a $60 SGD Ni-Nu Gundam etc..
As for other places in Tokyo.. i.e department stores or toy stores; are usually selling it at the listed price (to my limited knowledge). And we noe that the listed price is alr considered cheap when we're living outside japan. *nods*
Not to mention departmental stores will oso have sale from time to time.. so their prices will be comparable to akihabara when so.
SO basically.. if you buy model kits in japan.. you're alr having a 20% discount.. haha. And more if you bought it during sale and/or at akihabara.
hope its clear enuff to understand.. =)
PS: haha.. THANKS!! PG Strike > PG WZC.. ;) maybe i'll get WZC next time..
