I really love the Unicorn and Banshee, but I haven’t built all the ones you suggested.
If it helps, I enjoyed building the Unicorn so much that I instantly pre-ordered the Banshee when it became available 😀
I second the Red Frame, my first fully painted Gunpla.
The details on the frame of the Strike are pretty much the same. They have great inner detail, like pistons and such.
If you like that kind of stuff, the older kits are full with that. The MK II and the GP01 even have hatches that can be opened.
The 00 Raiser and the Unicorn lack such things.…[Read more]
I personally got the Unicorn for my first PG as well as the LED kit. The FA set is also incoming so it should be complete. However, the one I wanted to get the most was the RX-178 MK II, but I avoided it as I knew that once I have a taste of pistons and flawless internal details like that set has, most if not all of the newer PGs would be ruined…[Read more]
Okay, so I’m pretty new to this hobby but am already looking at certain PG’s. I live in the Netherlands and gunpla is extremely scarce here. Importing through HLJ isn’t an option, because import tax will jump through the roof for big, expensive items like that. So, I’m limited to one single store that sells gunpla, and they’re ALWAYS low on stock.…[Read more]
I live in Bangladesh and there are no shops here so I always have to pay for import (transport, tax, etc.). Prices will always be high as whoever is selling has a monopoly and you pay if you want it. An alter native is to search for people offering import services online via Facebook groups (make sure they have good customer reviews). You end up…[Read more]
I ordered for around 100€ and paid 40€ for fedex express on hlj.. after only 4 days it was at my place in germany, and there were no taxes. So even with the realtive high shiping costs it was cheaper than on ebay or amazon. I have a second order still on its way. I ordered an MG Epyon with standard shipping end of march.. still hasn`t arr…[Read more]
Yeah, but you guys don’t have to pay Merkel, we here in Holland need to pay the Royals, and since they have an expensive taste and a big family… Everything above €25 gets 21% tax on top of the purchase and chipping price!!!!
In some countries, like Germany for example, hobby product and or toys are free from taxes, talk about one big Europe eh…. sigh
P.S., I was lucky a few times, one time a seller on E-Bay noted a price of €20 for my PG, shipped from Korea.
Someone even stated that tuning parts for my car where “Missing Parts” 😛
There are a few loop holes, but HLJ doesn’t state another price on the invoice, which is understandable. I took the risk with the PG in ordering from an unknown s…[Read more]
That is very true, except I stopped smoking 5 years ago…. 😛
If things are send or bought inside the EU, there is no tax to be payed as “taxes are already payed in an European country”.
Es ist so krumm als dass es lang ist 😀
Haha gesprochen, wie ein wahres Wunderkind. But since all the plastik has to be importet anyways, there would be a double shiping cost. From Japan to Germany and then from Germany to the Netherlands. And that would be the same extracost.
haha, yeah I’m sort of hoping PostNL isn’t going to send me surprise bills, but they usually ask for the tax commission in cash at the door. And if you don’t have that exact amount, you can pick it up at the post office. Good luck scrounging together 19,78 Euro’s :p
We have gundam-market.nl though! Which has no stock whatsoever… -_-‘
Am gonna get that PG soon. But from the official images I have seen for the decals, especially the ones on the shoulders, they don’t look like the ones on the picture. Anyone knows where I can get them. I tried on “samuel decals”but am not sure if it’s there either. Any Ebay link will be appreciated.
