Every wonder where to get cheaper Gundam Model kits? Before this, I use to patronize the major shopping center and I always spend more than I should have too.
Below are some tips for you to make a wise choice in the future.
1. On each box of the model kit, you will be able to find the “YEN RETAIL PRICE”. This information can be used as a comparison to the actual price that is selling in your respective countries. So you will know if the price your paying is worth it or not.
2. Join your own local Gundam Forum! Why? This is because you can grab good offers from fellow members that are selling them. Sometimes, they can be drop dead cheap or you might stumble upon a rare kit that you always wanted to get. Why are they sell cheaper, you asked? Well, maybe he/she might have a financial crisis or trying to clear away the collection he/she had
3. Do some scouting and look for model/toy shops around your area. They are definitely selling at a much more cheaper price than the major shopping center*. There are quite a no. of shops around Klang Valley, Malaysia and for the same model, the price varies from one shop to another, so be smart.
* applicable for Malaysia. Not sure if that is the same with the neighbor countries
4. Online shopping will do you good as well.
5. From time to time, our local authorized distributor will have Warehouse sales. This is the time to get some cheap model kit(s) that are being offered. But take note, the offer is just/might be limited to 1-2 selected model(s) only.
Hopefully the above tips can help you save some $$$. With the current economic, every single cent counts. Gunpla modelling is no cheap hobby!!!!
