I bought this item from amiami, couple of month ago amiami just opened their international store. The price is 25% off the marked price, so bought this PG Raiser 1/60 gundam for 18280 Yen which converted to be around 210 USD. Pretty good price eh, but wait shipment cost another 10750 Yen, which is around 120 USD! This might be because I bought Macross Frontier Ex Gear Alto together with it ( the macross cost 4700 Yen aroun 54 US which a very good price compared elsewhere..) . Regardless I almost canceled my order as soon as I hear the price tag. I email their support in regards to cheaper shipping alternative, but apparently this is already a good price according to the sales reps. He explained the box is really really huge. Then after couple of thoughts and price checking from ebay (most of ebay are pre-ordered or not the first release), I have decided to get it of amiami.

Upon receiving it No surprise, the box is so damn huge. Shipment with EMS was lightning fast. Shipped on Saturday Received on Monday. No Drama. Packaging is well solid. Perfect package. I received the Gundam Raiser Stand as well which I heard this is only available for the first batch of shipment.

There will be an additional Clear Parts for the Gundam. This will cost around 3500 Yen alone. Not sure if I will get this.

Inside the Gundam Box, there are 3 different box, one for the raiser, one for the Gundam and one for the pre-assambled part of the GN Drive. Damn, this might take couple of weeks to build.. well I will save it for later… maybe early next year when I’m not busy

Overall I’m pretty much happy buying from AMIAMI. And would recommended Amiami as reliable Japanese toys store.

BM Project or Project BM are a special toys line up from Bandai. As posted on my previous post here are some better images on the Kaneda bike’s. It will be released next month together with the Shotaro Kaneda figures on March next year.

The Kaneda figures are made of PVC, hard plastic and real leather ( for the clothes ). You will get two type of head, the normal one and the one with googles on. Also comes with the battery pack and the laser gun connected to it.

This is probably the ultimate Akira Toys you cannot miss on March next year.

Before it went on sale later next month, Bandai is giving out free kit for modeling expert to test out the kit. Couple of lucky plamodel professional from Japan already get this PG 1/60 Rasier kit early. This particular PG model was completed by Meister Sekita from Dengeki Hobby Workshop. No doubt Mr Sekita is an avid Gundam maker, and apparently after a closer investigation this kit does look very generic and similar to the anime. Definitely it is not ordinary, but its not that special as well. The advantage of this is the size and the superb detail. Should you get one ? perhaps wait for more review later…..

Not long ago, I got an Alto Custom Bandai 1/60 SDX from big bad toy store it is on 20% discount. Not a bad price, shipment is a bit expensive but they do reliable shipment with tracking. You can cancel any order as long as it is not shipped from their warehouse.

Surprisingly enough Alto Custon 1/60 does look a bit small. Not very satisfied with the stock look I decided to get more parts for it. The Armored part produced by Tamashii. Tamashii only sell parts, limited edition toys for bandai stuff on the web. Bought the part for $99 USD. The part for box is so huge its about almost 3 time bigger compared the actual Alto. The parts are made of plastics. Great colour and high in details. Makes the alto custom so loaded … Worth the bucks! I definitely recommend this kit for all of you who own Alto Custom.

Recently Bandai starts to release their SDX Gundam collection, these Gundams SD are cute but come with a quite heavy price tag. The price range are between 45 – 60 USD. The one that I most looking forward into is the Versal Gundam. The Versal SDX Gundam are continuation of the Knight Gundam lineup. What so cool about this one is the armor is painted in white color, a Very nice white too … Versal SDX Gundam will be realsed on early December 2009. Pre-orders are starting now !

Not sure what is in Bandai head when giving the approval to produce this Jean. This straight jeans cost almost near of PG 00 Raiser. With around $250 US you can get in style like the true gundam RX-73. Very straight jeans with some star marks, and little RX-78 writting on the back. Surprisingly enough it is sold out from HLJ. So could be some really hardcore Otaku got it, or wait.. it could be you ?

PG Gundam Raiser is coming out on 28th of November 2009. Not only the massive box, this latest PG treatment will ensure you satisfy with the fine details and 3 part of rotating beam.

Price are ranging between 270 – 300 USD, The japanese price is around 422USD, funny how this stuff is more expensive in Japan then exported price. It also comes with a packed with a display base with two adjustable stands to display.

Might want to get one from ebay!!

Talking about Bandai VF-25 1/60 die cast that got released on the December 2008. Not long after Bandai release the Armored parts. Just the addon part for the original Bandai VF-25. As you can see from my previous post.
However though now they are back again. Bandai are planning to release VF-25 in a Super Valkyrie Alto Ver. The price will be around 199 USD. Heavy Price tag ? damn… safe abit more so you can afford fewture toys. If money no problem for you this one is also must have…
I’m wondering if the original VF-25 1/60 + armored Kit will look better then this…
