I was out at my local TRU(here in Japan) and saw 4-5 new kits.
MG Strike gundam W/ Sword and Launcher striker packs
MG MS-14a Gelgoog Ver. 2.0
MG GAT-X105E Strike Gundam E W/ I.W.S.P. Pack
1/100 Over Flag(from Gundam 00)
there were a couple others, but its late here and I need Sleep. I will try to get some pics of them for you all, and maby do a build on that Flag…[;)]
Great news! I look foward to seeing them.
How much are they asking for an MG kit over there, PA?
It honestly depends on the model u want. but roughly 2800 to 6500 yen for normal non-special Ed. kits. thats about 28 to 65 US dollars.
Thanks bud.
As for the pricing on model kits, the one thing these japanese manufacturer does really well is actually putting the pricing in yen on their box. If you have Tamiya or MG boxes, you will see them on the side of the box. Last time I went there, the stores adhere to the prices pretty well unless they have a special sale. Then again it was akihabara so other places could be different.
Is there any thing in particular you are lookin for? Cause if there is chances are I can find it. Even some of the older kits like MG GP-02a or GP-01/fb, heck, I’ve even seen some of the old Gundam Wing HG kits
I personally am still trying to find a Sazabi at under 80 bucks, cuz that’s already a lil more than what it used to be, but nowadays the prices on ebay were just nuts.
Bad news there bud. The last Sazabi I saw had a 9000 to 11000 yen price tag atached, but I will keep my eyes on the discount racks for ya.
Then you got to calculate for shipping costs. I just got a couple of boxes from HLJ this week, the shipping was almost $40. [|(]
It may be cheaper for me being millitary n all, so I’ll look in to it.
Finally have a camera I can call my own! so here are the pics I promised. Enjoy!
No… this is not me in the next pic…sorry.
I ended up picking up this little guy.
He is next on the list of cool stuff to build.
hope you had fun on this short tour of my local TRU, later!
Wow. That is a [censored] lot of Gundams.
I notice they carry the EX models. I’m looking for one of these:

It’s an older kit, but it was re-popped last year. Think they might have one? I’ll be your BFF if you can hook me up. [swg]
It’s very funny (and a little disturbing) to see how similar the TRUs over there are to the TRUs over here. Exact same price tags and everything.
Wow! Nice pictures. I’m envious. Looks like a really cool place. What a selection.
CJ I’m goin out again tonight ao i will keep my eyes open and let ya know. glad you enjoyed the tour!(however short it was. lol)
That’d be cool. Don’t buy me anything yet, but if you do find it, drop me a note on price and shipping. We’ll see what we can arrange then.
Really appreciate it -JC
