They have finally arrived. I have here two HG PINK Bearguy Limited EXPO Edition from the series Gunpla Builders. Anyway, Being limited, it has a heavier price tag on top of it considering it is just an HG. Besides, I heard that the rule “one kit per person” applies on such EXPO events. So I am glad to have two if ever that was true. How I wish a Gundam EXPO can be held here in the Philippines — In my dreams! hahaha!

Here are some pictures!

Just want to share some of the stuff we got today. We have a couple of SD kits namely SD Guntank and SD Blitz Gundam. Bought some paint as well for our future projects. A lot of Tamiya acrylic paints and 2 Bosny spray paints namely KT Gold and Flat White. Also we have managed to find an alternative SD display base. I will talk about that in detail in another post.

*UPDATE* – you can check the alternative sd gundam multi-level display base here

for now here are some pictures.

Was able to get a pretty sweet deal on some hard to find (not to mention OLD) Gundam stuff today. I got here a 1/35 scale of Turn A Gundam which is a Coin Bank, a High Complete Model Johnny Riddens Zaku 2 which I got for a cheap price, a Zaku Warrior Live Concert Version and an Old School SD RX-78 with Lights and a free board game. I also got a free DOM coin bank which you will see later.

The greatest deal for me today was the HCM Johnny Riddens Zaku because I got it for only 150 pesos… read more to find out why. But before that let us look at the other stuff.

This came from a guy who used to collect Gundam. He mentioned during our meet up that he got this SD Psycho Gundam (1996 version) at Shangri La Plaza way back then. I think the name of the place was Toy Mart, much like Toy Kingdom or Toys R’ Us but in Shang. He was planning to collect the whole series but unfortunately was not able to. The box is old but overall the runner are intact and the kit is good. Here are some pictures for your reference.

Went to Greenhills earlier during lunch time for fun. Just went to check out the Gundam Hobby Shops (Wasabi, Great Toys, Best Toys and Special Toys Center) and eat lunch. But we ended up taking home 13 SD kits and what seemed to be a limited edition stand for the 1/48 Char’s Zaku. Some SD kits we bought were Stargazer, Strike Noir, Strike, Justice, 3 in 1 Gogg-Acguy-Zock, Super Gundam, S-Gundam, V Gundam Full Equipment and etc… I think let us just go straight ahead with viewing the pictures hahah.

I have here an unboxing review of 1/400 Alpha Azieru which is a painted Gundam kit. This is my first ever Gundam kit ordered from Hobby Link Japan (HLJ). It was on sale from 5000 down to 1750 Yen. For me it looks more like a diorama set. Why? I guess it is the stand included in the box. You will see later in the picture what I am talking about. It also comes with two 1/400 figures of Nu Gundam and Sazabi. This is a big kit, the parts are big (loved the back skirts). Also the box is about the size of an MG box. But this is not an MG kit, more like an HG kit with the parts already painted.

**update**

Some are asking for the shipping cost. Here is the breakdown sending it from HLJ to Philippines. Depends on the size and weight of the item though. $50 USD and below combined item value (kit, freight and postage) doesn’t have to pay custom tax. Only 40 pesos processing fee. In this case, it was around $52 USD so I had to pay customs tax…. D*mn 😦

EMS – Express Mail Service Shipping

952   pesos for the kit (1750 yen)
914   pesos  for the freight (1680 yen)
391   pesos postage stamps from Japan (720 yen)
1092  local customs tax (Pasay EMS post office)

3349 total

local customs tax – this is the killer part… that is why shipping many items at once will save you a lot than shipping on one item…. lesson learned on my part haha…. good thing this item is not found in the Philippines….

Here are the pictures

Yesterday was a Sunday and we were at Greenhills Shopping Center looking for Gundams (as usual). Well we did found some rare kits namely an HG 1/100 Deathscythe Hell, SD Jegan, SD Blue Destiny an SD Newtype Mobile Armor. Also I forgot to post an earlier haul. It was an HG 1/100 Epyon which I got by trading my extra built HG 1/100 Heavy Arms Custom last friday. I managed to get another Gundam 2011 Navigation Catalog from Toy Kingdom but this time at Greenhills. Got myself a few bosny primer spray paints as well. I will paint a few kits after this rain stops. Check out the pictures below.

Hi everyone. Today I was able to get my hands on a big kit. It is literally big because it is the 1/400 Gundam White Base from the first Gundam series itself. Also, along with that is Master Grade THE-O from the Zeta series. We were able to find some hard to find SD kits set like the Generation-F Char’s Mobile Suit set, SD Zeta and SD MKII Titans set and the SD Gundam Alex plus SD GP01 set. It was really a tiring day going back and forth, meeting people for all this kits. But again in the end — HAPPINESS!

Some pictures 🙂

I guess this is the biggest haul that will ever happen in the entire history of my Gundam Addiction. I spent a lot today but in return I got happiness deep inside my heart. LOL at the previous paragraph. Anyway, we got a couple of big kits namely PG Strike Freedom and PG GP01/fb. Also we got Full Armor ZZ (FAZZ) and a limited edition MG Zeta 2.0 HD Color. I checked out Great Toys GH earlier and found an HG TR-5 Hrairoo, SD BB Wing.

The one who sold me the PG GP01 gave me a complete PG RX-78 clear parts set. He also gave me for free his only Lighted Beam Saber made by bandai themselves.

Here are the pictures… Please forgive my troublesome cat Bieber… (he will soon have a play mate yey!)

Got my new kits today just before going to Toycon 2011 at SM Megamall. Got myself here some rare SD Archive kits. So rare that the boxes I got are really old. I also ordered a 1/100 Nix Providence and my very first Gouf which is not only a custom, but also a Gravity Front Version or aka MS Igloo.

Here is the picture of my latest haul for today. I only have one, will post more on the individual review
