My model store has not had a resupply of tamiya red in three months. I need more of it to finish my mg epyon and I really want to finish this drat thing.

Does anybody know what the best place to buy this stuff online is? I also need it shipped to canada.

Alright, I should've known I'd do this.... what's the quality like on the HG Seraphim Gundam? If I'm getting the Seravee, I may as well get that too if it's any good.

Hopefully this is the thread for this. I need some identification/valuation help. First up, I have two Neon Genesis figures that were given to me by a student about ten years ago (I am the Anime Club sponsor). I have had them pinned to a board in my classroom since then, but I realized that maybe I should be more careful, in case they are worth something.


The head fell off of the red one, but it is still bouncing around in the box.

I have done some searching around, but I have not found these exact models online. There are several similar models, but nothing exactly the same. I am pretty sure they were bought on closeout at a mall video store (Suncoast or something like that). I tried to scan the barcode on the back, but it pulled up some Naruto stuff on Amazon. Then I tried to have one of my Japanese students read me the back of the package, and she said it was almost all in Chinese (oops!). So I am guessing these are grey market Chinese bootlegs that were sold in stores here? Do they have any value?


Next up are three model sets I bought while I was in Japan in 2009. I just bought them as random stuff, because I recognized them (two of them), and they were on sale.


One is from Gurren Lagann, one is Eva-00 (it says series 14 LM - Limited Model, manufacturer is NAS), and one is just some random model. The Gurren Lagann model actually available through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gurren-Lagann-Tengen-Kadou-Pre-Painted/dp/B0011XGT5K/ .


So what should I do with these?

I don't think anyone but Bandai had the license for Evangelion model kits so that one may be a bootleg too.

On 1999.co.jp, does the little "Restock" tag in the same area as the "sale" tag mean that it is going to be restocked in the future, or is current restock, or what?

Well, I ordered an HG Seravee GHNW/B and Seraphim off of HLJ (Amazon won't ship Gundam kits to Australia for some reason :argh:). Gotta wait for a restock on both of them some time in December, though :sigh:. I actually nearly bought an HG Heavy Arms Custom as well because it was all of $10, but the reviews and general pictures suggested it wasn't that good.

If you want a Heavyarms, bite the bullet and buy the Master Grade Heavyarms. Don't waste your money on the old Wing kits.

Go to the page of the thing you want, then on the right hand side of the page there should be a short list of sellers. If you click the "<number of sellers> new" link below that list, you get taken to another list which has a bunch of those items from a bunch of different sellers. This is Seraphim Gundam's list of sellers: link

Now what you want to do here is look for a seller that ships from Japan, who will most likely ship to Australia. Here's the MG Heavyarms sellers list: link

It is a pain in the rear end that Amazon doesn't ship a whole bunch of things here to Australia, but you can still buy them through amazon if you just have a look around their sellers lists. You can also get better prices than you would if you just bought straight from Amazon.

Cheers for this. The Heavy Arms was going to be just a "eh, why not" purchase because of the price, really. Thanks for the advice though.

what? They're releasing a new mg almost every month. We have the nu coming in december, the tallgeese in January! They occasionally release the RG instead of an Mg, but the Mg line is not even close to being dead.


... I may pick the RG destiny, I'll decide if I want it when the prototype comes out.

I've always been a big fan of the Destiny because of the Palma Fiocina, personally. The Extreme Blast has on my list of gunpla to pick up if I ever get a better-paying job for a while now.

The HD kits have all been HGs so far. The Strike Rouge is an HG too though it comes with the IWSP and hasn't had a rerelease so far.

If they do HD re-releases of MGs too it will have the MG schedule filled up for the next year or so.

Apparently the Nu Gundam is getting retconned to have some psycoframe in its body, if the Master Grade is to be believed.

Number 2 is Zogok (I thought I was the only one who wanted this) and #3 is Döven-Wolf (finally!). Number 1 is pretty impossible to figure but I really hope it's Turn A.

Also, they've teased HGUC Messala for 2013, holy gently caress.
