A good choice! Just be careful with the shoulder joints during assembly.

Thanks for the tip

I need to save up for it as I'm saving for my holiday currently but I've restarted work on handpainting gundam Alex so hopefully I'll have pics of that soon ;-)

I can't decide if I should go for the RGs from SEED or the HGCE Revive versions. Any suggestions?

This is a matter of preference, I've not looked into either range, with not being much of a seed fan. If you like the designs but not that much to go through the detailed building process, then I say stick with HG. I will probably do that except for a select few, namely Red Frame and Gold Frame

Very nice! I wish I had the time at the moment to work on these. Happy to see that you're still flying the flag for gunpla!

I might go and get that option set once I get around to watching season 2 of IBO, but for the moment I think he's fine without them.

You need to add them. They can swing around out of the way and beef out his arms

Hey, kinda a noob when it comes to gundam, I enjoyed the G-gundam anime, but I've been kinda hunting for a 'gundam the end', anyone have a good store to use, or can maybe hook me up, or slide me some advice in a pm?

You've got several options open to you, especially if you're based in the US or Canada. Here he is on amazon.com for $22. There's also a lot on ebay, some for less then amazon, but you always have to be careful on there but some of them are the real deals.

Got something in the mail

That is an impressive haul. The post man must have loved you for ordering so many.

Actually PostNL doesn't even show up at your door with import duty shipments. They just run them through customs, send the package to the pickup point and deliver a pickup note through the mail.
Mandarake will love me for being their customer, and i'm sure customs likes me too considering the amounts i'm handing over to them.
Import duty here is 21% of the total package value plus a fixed fee for the paperwork.

Ouch, customs is one of the reasons I do so little importing

I try to avoid it too, but stuff like this difficult to get hold of for a decent price here in the netherlands. I haven't found any of these RD figures here.
I know a specialty store in Amsterdam that carries gundam models but his prices are quite high:
For example, he sells the PG Exia (non-lighting) for 220. Meanwhile, HLJ asks 140 for it, and Mandarake sells them for 95. If i get one from Mandarake, even factoring in shipping and customs, i'm still off cheaper buying in Japan.

I do buy all my TF 3P stuff in the UK though.
