A new gundam series, Gundam Build Fighters was announced ! and along with that, a ton of gunpla releases, including the HG treatment to the Double X and the V2 gundam !! what do you guys think?
Well I have another use for that Caption pic for the comp. It in use in my work place as a responce for that moment. Save me having to say/do anything myself.
Quick question for @Syd, @Ryan or @Scott… why doesn’t HLJ carry gentei kits? Since your fan base is mainly situated out of Japan, we are not able to order from Bandai’s Online Shop which is in Nihongo and requires a Japanese address. I believe that if you make gentei kits available, they would sell like hot cakes!
Yea, esp since Genteikits.com has limited stuff and it’s painful to pay like 2,000 Yen for shipping for ONE item. I usually ship off from my Private Warehouse once I get to 6-8 items and that saves me tons on shipping, roughly 450-500 Yen per item, so it would be a Godsend to have Gentei kits available on HLJ. Obviously they would cost more than…[Read more]
450-500 yen isn’t all that much. BUT, http://www.genteikits.com/ sell some nice stuff at a more or less normal prices. “Take a retail price, pump it by a 2000 yen figure and there you go!” normal prices that is. + You add another 2000 yen for shipping. I think we don’t get this stuff from HLJ because of the fact that they’re online exclusives. And…[Read more]
Hmmm, in that case, is Genteikits.com circumventing the system by making them available for foreign customers? Now, don’t get me wrong, I dun mind getting more from Genteikits.com to reduce the shipping charges, BUT Genteikits.com does not have enough variety and quantity. Would really appreciate a clarification from HLJ, even if it means I really…[Read more]
Yeah, pretty much. Bandai’s made no provision for any resellers to carry the kits. Resellers like genteikits work around that by buying the kits through the online shop and reselling them. Doing it that way inflates the price and limits the quantity they can sell.
I think if HLJ were to resell online exclusives the way genteikits does, it could…[Read more]
Probably right on that one tetsu. And I doubt it would be good for business. I guess we’ll just have to wait and hope Bandai premium stuff would open it’s doors to the world too. Let all of us on the candy. I wouldn’t mind paying full retail if not a bit higher price if it would cut all the hassle of searching for Gentei on ebay etc. Black…[Read more]
There are other shops who do it as well, but gentei just specializes in Bandai Online shop. Thank to Syd mentioning it at some point I’m able to pre-order and get gentei RGs for cheap. I started thinking of getting all kits somewhere in 2011, and by that point a couple of kits from 2010 Gunpla Expo were quite pricey. So, if you really want it,…[Read more]
from what i seen the premius is the same ,gunpla builders was an ova of the 30th aniversity,and these seems like a full sereis also the fact they fight on a specail table and not a modifiey gundam battle simlulator pod with pilot suits on for rpg reasons .watch gunpla builders it will make u want to get models to modify trust me it did to me alot..
While the suits looked good, I am not sold on it yet. Reminds me to much of Pokemon but with Gundams. I’ll give the series a shot though. I remember everyone nagging about AGE at first but I enjoyed it overall.
Besides, the Yu-gi-Gundam card fighter meda-crushgear thing annouced. Bandai said they want to do all the lead Gundams in HG format, we are getting a wing, double X and victory what are the opinions for this?
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD !!!!

me i am happy a v gundam as an hg and a f91 so i can do some nice projects i been wanting to do..cant wait who think mudrock and rx-81 should be done..
Great models those Votoms. As you said the Bandai ones are all sold out on HLJ (my favorite e-shop by the way), but I saw the smaller 1/24 scale from Wave. I have never bought from Wave. Are they about the same quality as Bandai?
