Hi, guys in SG, I need advice. XD
My regular store sent me their usual “yay we updated our preorder list \8D/” email, and in the list, 00/7S G is included. The member price is SGD31.50. x_o
Good thing about preordering from them is that the item arrives about a week after the release date in Japan, and this already looks set to be a popular kit so I’m expecting that it will be sold out very quickly if I don’t act fast enough. On the other hand, 31.50 bucks is close to shopping mall retail prices…
So, should I pay extra for the guarantee that I’ll get the kit, or should I wait for HAG’s sea shipment and better pricing but risk missing out?
Pre-orders close next week, so I need to make a choice soon. xD; Please help!
In other news, here have some prices from La Tendo xD
-Mega Size Model Gundam 1/48 Scale: SGD165.00
-MG Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai: SGD100
-MG Gundam 00 – Gundam Exia (Trans Am Mode): SGD115.00 >______>
-MG Gundam U.C. – Unicorn Gundam Video Ver. SP Pack: SGD145.00
– MG Gundam U.C. – MSN-06S Sinanju Ver.Ka Titanium Finish: SGD225.00 LOL
I’m still sitting on the idea of getting a Ryougi Shiki Nendo..

Hmm… I think you should wait. Even if you missed the sea shipment, there will still be restocks, you can always get it next time :D
And red frame for SGD100 is overpriced….. Way overpriced….
Exia trans-am even more overpriced….
All are over priced anyways, lols.
My best bet is just to order from gunplasg ^^ 72 bucks ~~

Point. Plus it’s not like I need it in a hurry. xD Thanks!
I can’t do preorder from gunplasg anyway because I’m not allowed to bank transfer. Parents are in control of my bank account haha.

No problem, always happy to help a fellow enthusiast ^^
And sad about you unable to do bank transfers… Coz 72 is a not bad price…. Rite?

Hmm as for me I still have to build another 5 kits before I get another kit!! Haha but I’ll wait if I were you, there will be restock for such a popular kit. Or just wait for those 30% at BHG and you can get it for a decent price. The thing about gunpla is, just wait haha!!
PS : Cross fingers for moemoekyun ultimate gundam 00 pack!!!

Okay, I think I will wait then! Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for your HGUC Unicorn which you got from HAG? It’ll give me an idea as to how much 00/7S will probably cost. xD
Praying hard for him haha!!!

I got it at about $29 :D but this is with member price so it will be higher a bit ^^
Haha you are not the only one!!! I am rushing to finish up my stock of unbuild stash!!

Ah, okay. If that’s the case then I don’t think it really makes a very big difference whether I get from HAG or La Tendo. :|a

In case of Masurao in my country, I chose to wait and save SGD7, but I’ll get the kit somewhere around these 3 months T_T
Still have my unbuilt and preorder for next month, so I’m not hurry.
In my local forum, I haven’t get news that the shop open pre-order for 00\7sword though.

SGD7 is a very big difference, so waiting really paid off for you. :D Just checked with chubbybots though; seems like even if I wait, the difference in prices won’t be as big as I thought. The only difference is that I receive it earlier if I pre-order now haha.
I’m sure preorders will open soon!

I’m skipping RAH Setsuna. XDDD Giving up because I can’t drop another SGD250+++ on another item again…
I’ll look for Ryougi Shiki first then. XD I hope there’re still some stocks around here. Maybe I’ll ask La Tendo again.

But you have 0 raiser and GN sword III already for Hg 00 I gues it doesn’t matter even if bandai released 00 ultimate pack you still have all variant you can buy it 7 swords now XD
honestly I am interested with 00 7 sword too but I can get him later or even next 20 years as long bandai not going bankrupt (sorry for multiple comments again XD)

Get the Shiki nendo, gunpla could wait.
I mean nendos are known to be rare after some time.. A re-release happens very rarely and only on extremely popular characters.

You’ve got a point…I’ll start looking for the Nendo first, and think of gunpla later then. Thanks!! xD

i think you should wait, even though its not your preference lol unless you wanna build it as soon as possible, but you have to focus on your classes! XD
i would say getting Shiki nendo is the best choice if you wanna buy something :D

The earliest I can build is after my exams [which is in May], so there’s really no point in getting it in February, is there? XDD
Got it! Thanks for your input. I think I’ll look around for Shiki first. XD

I googled for Shiki, got her images, but… who’s she?
January 10, 2010 at 5:43 am

She’s a protagonist of Kara no Kyoukai. Without giving too much away, after she regains consciousness from a coma, her ability to perceive death in the form of lines and points is awakened. This [spoiler-filled] wiki page can explain her better than I can XD

Kara no Kyokai is also from Typemoon, that’s why I saw Arcued resemblance in Shiki. I’ve never watched Kara no Kyokai though, that’s why I don’t know Shiki.
