    In a way, we're more blessed than LEGO hobbyists-- LEGO kits get like a single season run and that's it.

    I was in USA for 3 months recently and I was always looking for shops and hobby-stores who sold Gunpla. I think I visited about 10 different stores who sold Gundam and none of them came close to having the same inventory as you! Some maybe had close to half the stock as you. I think you are doing a great job of having a wide selection of Gunpla!

    Overall good video and very understandable.
    It's especially painful for someone like me who lives in the UK as a Gunpla hobbyist as there are very few stores or retailers that actually stock gunpla in the first place. Which makes me thankful for stores like Gundam Mad or mainly for me ILoveGunpla.
    Though the reprinting issue can sometimes make or break certain kits especially well-sort after ones (Mainly thinking a lot of the Unicorn Kits or the MG Sazabi Ver.Ka which I do own thankfully as these are highly priced already and when they go out of print that skyrockets). I FINALLY managed to land collecting the MG Sinanju Stein Ver.Ka (Original Unicorn Ver) through an Amazon retailer since ILG was sold out which is VERY hit or miss on Amazon. Since one time I ordered a RG Sinanju and got sent a HG instead.
    I do enjoy your content btw. SEVERELY wish you could sell to peeps like me given that wonderful warehouse stock but understand the hassle/no go with selling outside of the EU.

    I was finally able to buy my elusive kit last week, MG Sazabi Ver Ka. It's not that it was hard to find. It was hard for money and availability to coincide. Loving my big boi so far!!

    Nicely explained buddy. The uk store I support rarely has exactly what I want but that's what makes gunpla collectible. Currently building a MS GP01 first printed 1997.....its horrible.

      Hello, can I ask for intel on which Gundams are exclusive and hard to come by whether sold out or high shipping costs? I am gathering market research for my reselling business so any information would be appreciated, thank you

    Yeah I agree how confusing it is for us buyers about when bandai will reproduce their kits.
    In January, I was visiting many hobby shops in my city Want to buy a Wing Zero Ver. Ka. It was a long trip but quiet worth it because you get to see many heavens in different places. But to my disappointment, none of them have it. I ask all of the hobby shops when bandai will reproduce it again but almost all of them didn't know when. Except one hobby shop owner saying that they will release it in Q3 of the year.
    I tried to buy it online but everyone selling it at an unimaginable price. I also tried to bought the bootleg of that kit online but they ran out of stock as well. When the bootleg kit also run out of stock, you know how popular and hard to find a gunpla is.
    But to my surprises, that same hobby shops Managed to restock the wing zero ver. Ka in early February, also in a very reasonable price. I quickly went to the shop and bought the kit (And going bankrupt as well LOL)
    And that's my story on how i get the wing zero verka. Sorry because it was long.

      @@LeoNineLotus the main character's Gundam usually the most popular and often in high prices but it's mainly because it's popular the demand is high.
      Then there are seed/wing kit. They are also popular but Idk how popular they are aside from their very good looking design. Take this info with a grain of salt.
      The villain's Gundam is usually not as popular as the MC's Gundam (do more research I might be wrong on this) except Char Aznable's Gundam/iconic villain like sazabi/Sinanju. They are popular.
      Yeah, this is all I know. Also always check the review. Not all gunpla has great quality like RG Sinanju.

      I could do that next time I order from Korea. They are just a lot more expensive for me than the D.L. Decal, but might still be able to do fair prices on them. Any one in partucular?
