I missed two Gundam from trademe (-_-)"

This year alone, I missed two MG gundam kits at a bargain at trademe (-_-)”
Their prices were cheaper than in Malaysia if I convert the price to RM.
Those two are Unicorn Gundam Ver. and Ka MG Wing Gundam ver. Ka.

1.Unicorn Gundam Ver. Ka
Price: NZD 70.00 (
RRP in Malaysia: RM 200
Reason why I missed is because I just bought Crossbone Gundam Full Cloth and I did not have spare money to spend on this one.
Besides, I need money for the trip during autumn break.



I really like this kit because it can change shape or can transform in to destroy mode. It is like you have two gundam instead of one for that price.
But then, based on reviews on Youtube, this the articulation of this kit is a bit poor as compared to other MG’s to compensate for the transformation. But still, I like the colour, very clean and pure. The design also quite interesting.

2. MG Wing Gundam ver. Ka.
Buy Now Price: NZD 80 (
RRP in Msia: RM 180
It sounds like it is cheaper in Msia, yes it is. But I want it here, in NZ, not Msia. That means, if I were to ship it from Msia, the total cost for this kit will be more than NZD 80, right?


I missed this kit because I waited too long. The reserve price was NZD 70, but the Buy Now price is NZD 80. In order to buy it for NZD 70, I waited until the end of the auction. But then, some Kiwi bought it using Buy Now. Arrghhh…this world is not fair :P
I’ve watched the reviews of this kits on Youtube and it said this kit is very stable since the wings are not heavy as compared to my Strike Freedom.
Besides, the colour scheme for this kit also very nice, I really like it. Plus, the decals are very attractive (bonus pint for this kit).
I think the ‘hikmah’ for these incident is that I can save my money, and bring it to my home country, convert it, and spend it. I’ll get more value of NZD if I convert it into RM :P
Besides, I got new alternative to get Gundams in cheaper way, direct from Japan (avoid middle man in this case). So, no regret for this. Huhu (^^,)v
