Bought one of these for 3,000 yen. Shipping cost 4,000 yen. $67 all in all after exchange. Now p bandai will probably reprint this kit since I bought it at such a price.
I asked my cousin who was living in Japan at the time to buy 2 of these for me when they announced this 4 (?) years ago. She's finally moving back to the States this week so she can mail it to me. I didn't even realize at the time this thing came with so many accessories. I thought it would just come with 2 sniper rifles, the 90mm machine gun, unique shield and the little hover tank. I'm ultra impressed! This is by far my favorite GM variant ever.
I would gladly pay $30-40, if I could find it that cheap, but I'd have to be super lucky to find one at that price. Why, oh why, Bandai, did you have to make this an exclusive?
Not gonna get much cheaper than the USD 40 range atm, but anything over the price amazon or Gundam planet are selling it for is absurd and should be ignored completely
The runner that contain the hover truck parts also include the GM head and the railgun. That runner was reused from the 8th MS team Ground set which is why there's the railgun and GM head. I too got it just for the Sniper 2 and the hover truck but was surprised with left over parts. Bandai was lazy so they just give you the whole runner. The runner where they give you the machinegun was part of the Ground Gundam but the only part you were meant to get was the machinegun. So lots of wasted parts like the leg and knee joints where included. They did exactly that too with the White Dingo GM/Guncannon set. That set was nice that they give you a small runner which contrain the visor for the Guncannon but made translucent instead of solid grey, which the original Guncannon had and needed a sticker for the visor.
If I may ask, what are the dimensions of the vulcan pod? (Ie, back side height, width, etc.) I am trying to create one for my GM Sniper II Custom (basically a slightly modded K9), but I don't want to take it if the White Dingo version (I also don't have $50 to spare).
Because it could only be purchased from Bandai's website for a limited time and only people from Japan(and possibly a few other Asian countries) could order it. I was able to get mine from AmiAmi's pre-owned section. Genteikits currently has it on pre-order.
What would be the best place to get model kits fro a cheap price including shipping? I am looking around for about 20 for 1/144 kits. Where do you usually order from? I am looking at the 1999 store and they have some fro pretty cheap.
Minh Pham 1999 is a good website. I buy most of my stuff from HLJ and AmiAmi. They're both a bit cheaper than 1999. AmiAmi is the cheapest one but HLJ offers FedEX shipping and has a more streamlined ordering process(which is why I usually go for them)
Is this a good kit? www.1999.co.jp/eng/10051946 I was thinking about getting this kit. I saw some reviews, but they were not very helpful to me. Does it have good articulation.
***** Is 43.28 USD a decent price for this, because I aint finding anything cheaper aside from the Gundam Planet One and that has $9 shipping at the cheapest, so yeah, I really want this as I am a huge Fan on the Sniper II. If not I'll just think about buying a Strike Witches Figma.
***** the default shipping was more than the kit's price, I found the SAL button tho, thanks for the link BTW, and once again, its paypal, and I forgot my password for it. EDIT: I solved the problem and have ordered the kit

Wow what an excellent kit! Did not expect the ground war stuff to come with it!
THIS, the Gm, and the Guncannon White dingo ver. got a re-issue!!!

From all accessories that come with this kit I do like that awesome looking railgun most.

In that case you should check AmiAmi's pre-owned section daily. It was on there like 1-2 weeks ago for about that price.

everything you reviewed looks so solid
It probably doesn't matter as old as this video is but none of the links work to buy it
well kakarot how does it feel to loose your mobile suits head on the first combat mission.
man, you lucked out! also, man, I want that ground war set, since railguns, fuck yeah!
I want the White Dingo kits so badly.
Just built the MG version today 🤘
If you would like a tip, if you don't know already, then it is helpful to sand the area where you put the sticker.
I do that with mine.
Ill have to remember that thanks!
+Halonoob 117 no problem :D
Luckily i am from HK I got this guy for HKD 160 which is like USD 20.
Lucky that you got one!
Also, what software do you use for your vids?
Cass Maritime Only the best, most expensive, most exclusive software that money can buy!!!
....Windows Movie Maker......
Love that sarcasm! Thanks!
How about using a third party clear pink part for the scope of the sniper rifle? E.g. Wave ?
Yeah... if this had been a normal release I would have bought THREE of them. I'll just have to make do with my single WD GM Sniper II.
Looks like he'd go well with an ez8
on amazon is 50 bucks
free shipping
Thank for the information, i will try it next time =)
Kak, plz convince me to buy the GM Sniper II (White Dingo ver.), regardless if I get it from eBay, Amiami, Plamoya, or HLJ.
JUST AWESOME!!!

it's worth to pay a lil bit more getting those unique gears. Those are rare
Watching this again for the hell of it, but am I right in guessing that this is your favorite GM kit? or did the GM Sniper K9 beat it out?
It's the K9 now(with the normal backpack of course). The colourscheme, the accessories,...
As far as unmodded kits go of course =P
*****
Awesome. Still wish this was retail, but that is some consolation that I can still buy one of the best easily.
So far the pre-owened item u get from ami ami got any deflect?
Issa patlabor!
Is your voice OK?
...and I thought the Zaku and Gundam Ground War Sets were a steal.
woah wtf! RAILGUN!?
when does the mg come out?
in here this kit price now almost $50 @_@

on amazon, u can get the white dingo gm and gncannon for the same price, boy the decisions(ಗдಗ)
