I check many of my local stores were they always sell Gundam models (I don't bother to ask sweatdrop ) and they seem to be dissapaering every time I go there. I'm thinking if there getting popular out of the shelves or there takeing it off the shelves.
I see them in Uwajimaya but they don't have that many selections, and I rarely go to Toys R us. I was beginning to start my colection this month, but It's hard to find them now. Also it takes forever to get them online.

http://www.imageanime.com is where I usually go if I want something quick. http://www.hlj.com is great if you don't mind the wait.

Whoa, I like the first site there. The prices seems fair enogh for me to buy. I think the second site was ok. I notice in some stores like KB toys, they only have SD action figuers. But I think those site there will help me what I'm searching for. 3nodding

If you find anymore, please let me know. wink

Image Anime has pretty fair prices. There is some mark-up compared to Japanese MSRP but it is nothing unreasonable like some other sites.

I know some other sites, but those are the only two that I use consistently. Image Anime I only managed to find after bidding on Ebay for an SD Raiden (Virtual On) model. I've been using them ever since. ^_^

Have you herd of www.bandi-plamo.net? You could buy stuff from that site exept, I can't read anything in there sweatdrop But it's a Japanese site, I dont think you could login unless your out of Gaia. If you ever take a peek there, click on a whole lot of thing and you end up finding Mecha, Gundams, So many to explane.
I found this site when I typed bandi in Google search, it gave me a range of bandi sites in Japan.

Why dose Japan create so much stuff thats awsomly beter than America? We can't even think of great technology as they do.

Did you know that you can get your snacks from the vending machine using your Cellphone? Did you know that they also come with Freebies along with your snacks? My bro got a 3D chibi Wingzero sticker at a Vend when he visited Japan.

Be sure to type Bandai.

Bandi, Bendi, and a host of others are bootleggers that reproduce Bandai's models.

I'm not much for Candy Toys anymore. Reading Twisted Kaiju Theater had made me suspicious of those little lemon sours.

I wonder if any Mall would sell any Gundams there? I never try looking for one there, because I don't know much stores and I get lost easily. rolleyes stare

Orlando Fashion Square had a few at the Colloseum of Comics for a while. I've even seen them keep a small stock of Great Mazinger figures and little Mazinger Z pewter figures.

That aside, I prefer going to FoT for all my model needs. They got some pretty cool things, and I just saw the GP-03 Dendrobium go into stock. I gotta try that sometime.

I remeber they used to sell HUGE models of Gundamwing and G Gundam at my mall, they were about a foot tall and very good detailing. The box was like 2 foot long and a foot wide. But I was only 14 when I sall that, and now I don't see them around anymore. These modles were HUGE people! HUGE! eek

uhm are you sure they were models? because bandai had some detailed "actionfigures" 1/100 sized called arch enemies which had Wing Gundam Zero custom and TallGuesse 3 with very high detailed parts and interchangeable hands (not die cast but heavy type figures)
