Gundam Seed Model Kits

[Ren]

I saw that they're airing Gundam Seed model kit commercial's in preparation of bring the show here in the Fall. Anyone know where I can pick them up around the GVA? Last time I bought Gundam Seed Kit's I had to go to Asia :P

[crimsona]

There's a model store near Kerrisdale... I think it's 35th and Arbutus. Hobby toy box or something

It's the one with the big yellow sign and a fighter jet as its logo. Saw a few there. On an unrelated note, I might have a 1/60 Freedom for sale

[autorf]

I get addicted to these things, after I finish one I need to build another, then another.

Too bad your out west, I would love to build a perfect grade. Ive only built the 1/100 models but I love my GP02A, Massive Sheild and tactical nukle :)

Hope you can find some cheap, I cant :(

There are no Gundam Seed perfect grade, or even master grade (data as of Jan 1st, when I left Hong Kong). This is merely 1/60 Big Scale.

As far as I know there is only 1/144 regular, 1/144 HG, 1/100 regular, 1/60 big scale...

But I concur that this is as close to PG as you can get... for now

[Ren]

Give me a heads up if you wanna sell that freedom ;)

[Kinki]

Probably the most complete gundum model store in Canada (they run under a couple of other names too but in smaller stores): http://www.onesbetterliving.com

Not the cheapest though. PM me if you've got a big list of models you want, I get a generous discount from them.

I've seen lots of Gundam and Gundam type model kits at hobby stores in Crystal Mall near Metrotown. I'm not sure about the model you are looking for though.

Also check the other chinese malls in Richmond: public market, parker place, etc

Check out the phone book for hobby stores.

[Ren]

Would they sell these model kits at the Richmond night market?

Autorf, GIMPY FOR PRESIDENT!!

[z3t3 Nimrod]

There's a few stores inside a place called "Pacific Mall", it's at Steeles East, 5 min after Pharmacy, you can't miss it, if you need further directions just PM me. I work right by there. And they have every model you've ever seen...

[ryan123]

:how much are the 1/144 hg seed series at pacific mall

[coriolis]

For 1/144 its like $15-$30, I believe.

I know 1/100's range from $35-$49



It's such a rip buying from there though...

In Asia, its like $10, but after you ship + convert currency it about evens out heh

[ryan123]

Then i guess ill just buy Hlj.com. YOu only have to pay like 6 dollars for the shipping if you buy 2 gundams for 15 bucks each.

[coriolis]

Hmmm, really?

A 1/100 Freedom's shipping was like $20...

or is it for 1/144?

[ryan123]

1/144 hg

Actually there is one Perfect Grade for MSG SEED series.^^;

[coriolis]

I saw that at PMall for like $160...

eek..

I rather get the PG 1/60 Wing Zero Custom :p

[IVNP]

$160cdn(if no tax invovled) sounds decent for local though. If you order from over sea the shipping would be alot for PG kits. There's another one coming out this month.^^ Even more expensive. Just noticed the price...hehe. PG Strike is 14,000yen and PG Skygrasper is 5,000yen so PG Strike Rouge is more of a two kits in one deal so the price is....19,000yen....Gee.^^

http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN938257

[coriolis]

Before taxes....

damnit 15%!!!

Well, I don't see Strike Rouge selling well..

I mean, she used it, like twice, and then her bro just had to mess it up!


I wonder how the kit for Akatsuki will be like...

The PG Strike looks sick, I'd love to get it along with the PG Sky Grasper (For the aile pack), but it's way too expensive! >_<

I do intend to grab the MG Strike next time I'm in Toronto though. Anyone knows which specific store I should go to and how much it's gona cost?

[AcuraEL]

Hi all you Gundam fans, I have a PG Strike from my collection that I am able to sell. It is brand new. Everything is untouched/unopened. No time to build it, willing to sell it for $160. No tax of course.

Can meet up in the Markham area. PM if interested.

Damnit, they won't arrive here until October!

[ryan123]

i bought my strike freedom 1/100 and red frame 1/144 hg for 50 dollars including shipping on rainbowten.co.jp they declared it as gift for me so i didnt get charged for custom

[Thundercloud]

Went to Pacific Mall / Market Village today, and NO ONE has MG Strike, ONE (out of like 5) store has MG Freedom (That store has a PG Strike on display), but it costs $99 + tax.

Big scale ones are all over the place, but I don't want those.

That model store with the PG Strike at PMall got A LOT of stock in today. I saw like 15 boxes of MG Freedom, lots of the 1/100 Destiny, and S Freedom. The S.Freedom was $68 (ouch!) and I assume the Destiny is about the same. But damn... it was a nice scene seeing like 10+ boxes of Destiny and S Freedom EACH.

[coriolis]

Wow..

They're only $24~ CDN if you convert it if you buy from Japan.

I'm currently peer pressuring a friend in Japan to send me Sfreedom and destiny :p

[trixR4kids]

Pacific Mall @ Kennedy/steeles

Ooo nice, I don't like those 1/100 big scale no grade kits but I could make an exception for Destiny and S.Freedom! :lol:

Not at $68+tax though. :|

MG Strike/Freedom are only ~$41.56 @ hlj.com
Big Scale Destiny/Freedom are only ~$28.43 @ hlj.com

Of course, they're OOS and shipping, Tax extra, but the price difference is still huge.

[coriolis]

I was at Anime Xtreme on Spadina yesterday, had it for $64.99+ taxes for SFreedom and Destiny, but they were the Special Edition ones, the ones with the stands...

I'm gonna wait til next week, CNAnime to look for them...but I doubt they'll be any cheaper

[LeafsRbest]

Where's a good place to sell Gundam Wing Zero Custom 1/100 models?

[hyperion]

Wow these things are so overpriced.. I was thinking of getting one before I saw the prices you guys were mentioning...$100 for 20-30 pieces of plastic..no thanks.
