Gunpla TV 9 years, 8 months agoQuick 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!

Thanks @Shenaniganz, @crazymajor, @superxvegito, @kendall, @zetaone71 and @bloodnut38! Yes, a relief! This guy is pretty tough even when it’s oob stock build. Time to rest a while and go back to simple HGs lol… my brain needs to rejuvenate and recover some dead brain cells!!! 😛 Thanks for following my build, guys! Much appreciated! My Gundams…[Read more]

good question mate, i’d be curious to know that as well. it would be cool if we could get everything in one place.
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]
Agree. genteikits.com is good but shipping is a killer. I only order parts from them since HLJ now can’t accept parts order like they used to.
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]
