Places to order Gundams
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, April 7, 2005 12:16 PM
Does any one know good places in the US to order Gundam kits that are at a good price and not high on s/h and have good service?. HLJ is great in all but the wait is killing me. Thanks for the helpWink [;)]

I think your best bet is to be patient and go with HLJ or Rainbow 10. Their prices can not be matched in the US unless your lucky enought to find someting on ebay.

There are many places in the US to order Gundam models... animeusaexpress.com, gundamstoreandmore.com, plajapan.com, and ebay are a few. I found all those from Google searches. People also have ebay stores with large lists where you can buy a bunch at one time too. Gundam models are all over the place.

Thanks for the help! I think I will stick with HLJ since they are cheap. And I used ebay the other day to get a 1/444 Buster and 1/444 Blitz for 4.00 doller each so I will just use HLJ and ebay from now on.

If those are the non HG kits, they have no posability, nothing special, but good for a start

Non HG. Could care less about posabitity I have more fun painting every thing on them.I really liked painting my Mobile Bucue and Mobile Goohn both gave me about one weeks worth of painting. Plus If I really want some posability I will get out my MG Kempfer and MG GP02A and build one of those. And I just like all the Mobile suits from Gundam Seed.

yeah i build them all too, hence my name...Shy [8)]
I don't really care about HG or not it's all about the detail most of the time with me. House of Anime has them cheap and but all the ones I have goten on line came from e-bay!LOL I knew of HLJ prices but I have always found them cheap on e-bay when i luck up on a sale on a "lot". Also cheap out KB Toys they have all of the Seed action figures on sale for around 3 bucks! the others slightly higher. I have been buying them and giving them a wash to bring out the detail.
Toys R Us has Gundam kits and figures on sale. My locale mostly has SD gundam kits left now though...Disapprove [V]

Hey Martian...

Any idea on where I can get my hands on these...?

http://gan.20m.com/gunpla/musha/musha.html

All I've been able to find is this conversion kit, which is way out of my range.

http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL2302

When I search for Musha Gundams, on ebay or whatnot...all I get are those silly little super deformed things. Yuck.

Thanks for any help.

:)

Though I have been building Gundams since the 80's I have never seen these. Thanks for the link! Sorry I doi not know where to aquire these. Were thay based on a TV show? If so, what was it called?

Update I got a 1/444 Gundam Epyon on ebay for the crazy price of 9 cents! That was a good deal for me. On the Musha Gundam I have never seen one till the one you showed me.

The Musha kits are rare, and I'm not sure but they might go for alot of money.... Good luck hunting for one...

I'll just stick to the SD kits ^__^
