It’s been awhile since I talked about any Gunpla news and I certainly have a lot of thoughts piled up. Before we go into anything though, I would first like to congratulate Gundam Guy on the grand opening of his online store, GG Infinite. Those of us living in the North America region can now celebrate because there is now one more store to go to for our Gundam models (and replacement parts!). I’ll probably switch over to ordering from him as my main source from now on because I’m getting tired of the rising yen/decreasing dollar value (I’m already compiling a to-get list… which will include the contest winner’s gunpla of choice). GG’s prices are actually decent (comparable to the other US stores like HobbyWave and GSaM) even if it does seem high compared to the sale price from the Japanese stores because after you factor in shipping (to the US), the savings will be negated and you will pretty much end up paying more/less the same. Even if I do end up paying a little extra to GG (who also takes the time to provide you your daily Gunpla news), I’ll be more than happy to because the value of supporting local community and your fellow comrade far outweighs the value of saving a few dollars… so support your fellow comrades! ^^
