I’d like to try local online store offering gundam kits
In the past years, I never considered buying from an local stores selling gunpla on-line, I am always finding the perfect balance between shipping time versus price, but I always falling back to HLJ because of Japan yen price with discounts though I would need to bear the willingness to wait for a long time for the packages to arrive. But lately, I am seeing some drop in prices from these online stores, there are some local stores in my country selling Gunpla on the internet now with really competitive prices against that of HLJ prices, well HLJ or any Japan online stores are still less expensive to buy from, but the good thing about buying locally is that the shipping ETA is only about 1-3 days. I don’t know about you but a package that reaches my door as early as possible will always makes me happy
Anyway, let’s see what we have here. First, a Hard Graph HG kit, its the first one I have and I can foresee getting the other one, its the War Set for your diorama needs featuring the HGUC Ground Type Gundam with a nice set of 1:144 scale war vehicles and military figures. You already see where I am getting at, yes, I like me some dioramas. I would definitely get the Zaku II counterpart
Next one, it’s a surprise to me, I never knew about Bandai adding a High Grade model kit of a Pacific Rim mechanical heroes until I saw it in the online shop. I didn’t like the mech designs very much but the first movie was so awesome, I loved it, I would even try to talk about that movie on a separate review. So when I saw this HG Gipsy Danger on the catalogue I already found a purchase to go along with the HGUC Ground Gundam War Set. I am also looking forward to see the next Pacific Rim movie which features the very same mech in the model kit.
