Well @teetee580 I thought customs would hit me for holding it but it turns out that they were just holding onto it for some reason, no tax whatsoever.
I love that along with…
Though if I did have to pay a customs fee it would have been a good $100-150 NZD. I do recommend shipping LEDs separate from the Unicorn itself to save money.
That’s great to hear!!! This is my first Unicorn, so seeing the box compared to the MG and HG ones makes me realize how big of a kit it is.
I know how you feel, hope the LED’s come in really quick. I have to wait to get the paint in, gonna paint all the parts individually except the psycho frame of course, so it will take some time before it is…[Read more]
Unfortunately I’m no good at painting so this’ll just be a straight build but I’ll be sure to take a picture of all the unicorns together.
The Unicorn is probably my favorite design in Gundam along with the Turn X and Z’Gok so I’ve picked up every retail release of the Unicorn/Banshee except for the MG Phenex. A little excessive I know :P.
acutually i was thinking about that psyho frame would it be possible to paint up the pink with a clear red to make the clear peices darker i mean wouldnt it have a nicer effect instead of that pink i always see
Thanks! I’ll do that. Will take some time though, as I have to finish the MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka first. Only the fin funnels have to get a spray of faded purple….
Hope your one gets quickly to you. Hope you’ll enjoy it as well
Thanks man. Yeah I’m working on the HGUC Full armor Unicorn at the moment to set things off. This is going to be my first PG how about yourself? I was going to pick up the MK2 for an Xmas gift for myself then they announced this and I was like yeah MK2 can wait another year.
Looking good, it’s looking like I’ll be waiting a little longer on mine as customs may be trying to charge me for the Unicorn. Fortunately not the LEDs as well.
This will be my 2nd PG. The first was the Astray Red Frame. And at the same time, it was my 1st Gunpla. I was also thinking of picking up an other PG, but couldn’t decide LOL. There are too many awesome PG’s….
Damn, that’s a shame. Hoped you could skip taxes all together by shipping them separately.
Dutch customs did a good number on me as well. About $100 US. Had to pay taxes over the kit, as well as over the shipping costs… And they billed me for “calculating” that amount. And then there is the postal office. They want money too for picking it up at…[Read more]
nice load im gunna wait for until next month or february to get it ive still got my own hi nu gundam i gotta do and my sazabi i gotta paint up might i ask u @teetee580 how r u planing on doing the faded purple i was thinking maybe do a section for the funnels line them all up and then use the airbrush to spray up the purple so it looks even and…[Read more]
Thanks @thebanshee13! Hahaha, I know I’ll have fun with that beast LOL.
I was thinking doing it the same way, but only starting with the white first. Being that the purple is a stronger color than the white, it’ll take more coats of white to cover the purple.
I hope the Unicorn will be in stock when you plan to order it, gonna order the LED’s…[Read more]
Im not sure what it all came to , i never add it all up because inwould scare myself with what my hobby costs me 😉 As for PG unicorn i expect to get an email at some point today telling me that its arrived in my private wharehouse , together with the LED’s 🙂
Can’t go wrong with with a Nightingale, unless you are limited for display space, its not only tall, but wide and deep as well. you need about 30cm cubed for it.
The shipping fee for the EX-S (costs more than the kit itself) turned me off a couple of times already. It’s still one of the top five kits I’d like to get. I’ve built the G-Cannon myself. It’s a pretty decent looking kit considering it’s age and quality. I love the retro sci-fi design and the “bunny ears” that were so popular back in the first…[Read more]
Well the shipment is only 800 yen lower than the kit itself (if you go with EMS). But if you go with SAL the price goes way high. About the G-Cannon. Just did the quick check build. It will require lots of work to make it even look decent. On the bright side Cannon Magma comes with all the parts to make either F-90 G-Canon (no bunny ears), F-91…[Read more]
I got my order from the latest sale. This is all presents. Unfortunately, HLJ was out of everything I wanted to order for myself when the sale started.
