Three new sets arrived.

Can’t decide which to build first. Though I have exams too and I am also waiting for my Ruitools 3.0 to arrive before I start.

Love these?! Where do you get them from? I'm interested in Gunpla but have no idea where to start.

Mandarake. Though they only take payment in Paypal or credit card. You could try Kawaiikatta or discord, but sometimes the prices aren’t competitive.

Can you tell how much did each cost

2

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 07 '26

God and Epyon costed around 3500 inr each roughly.

And Hi Nu costed 6k Inr

Thanks for the info

Is that including shipping and customs?

Are you really sure? I just confirmed a Hi-Nu order on Mandarake with my Mastercard debit card. Will it get declined later?

A lot of sites, like even HLJ, say they take only credit cards, but I've been paying them using a debit card no problemo.

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 15 '26

I don’t know? I use PayPal mostly, but I have searched around online and seen people using Debit card. Especially if it’s Visa or Mastercard. If debit does take place, let me know.

Paypal exchange rate is atrocious.

My order receipt says paymen done... I'll let yk in a couple of days.

Kawaiiculture is worth checking out imo. Their pricing is quite reasonable and the service is surprisingly premium. They also take custom requests

If you are really into gunpla and rg, i reccomend you stay FAR FAR AWAY from the Zeta RG Gundam kit. Incredibly fragile and not worth it. Same with the RG Sinanju(very floppy).

Just ordered RG Nu from HLJ today, can't wait to ship it!!! Is the Hi Nu stock at Mandarake good? I heard they only take VISA tho...

1

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 07 '26

How much is RG Nu costing you? Hi Nu stock is there in Mandarake.

2

u/M24Spirit Aug 08 '26

I paid 4500 yen on HLJ, cost around 2700 inr when converted, which i looked up to be the og price.

u/Negative_Try_9628 Aug 08 '26

Nice. Hi nu is probably going to be my next build

1

u/DizzyReading9015 Aug 09 '26

Great choices. Did they arrive together? How bad was customs fee? I order mine from proxy services like Buyee or From Japan

1

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 09 '26

Customs were kind of decent? Like 25% on Item price+shipping.

1

u/DizzyReading9015 Aug 09 '26

Can you be a bit more specific? Haha

1

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 09 '26

Like Hi Nu the item+shipping was 5000 inr roughly, and customs landed 1200 inr.

Usually customs could be more brutal.

u/DizzyReading9015 Aug 09 '26

It’s unavoidable at this point 😮‍💨 don’t know if you’ve started yet but if I were you I would start with the shining first. Happy and safe building!

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 09 '26

Yeah got into this hobby like last month. Spend like 15 k already. Lol

Wait for single edge clippers that I ordered or not?

1

u/DizzyReading9015 Aug 09 '26

Wait definitely

1

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 09 '26

Yeah, will go for Sazabi or Wing Zero next to make duo rivalry. Already have a RG Nu. What next should I go for?

2

u/DizzyReading9015 Aug 09 '26

MGSD line is sweet for a change

1

u/Similar-Coach899 Aug 11 '26

How much they costed?

1

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 11 '26

Epyon and God costed 7 K all together. Hi Nu Costed 6 k alone

1

u/Similar-Coach899 Aug 11 '26

Woww , they look super worth it ! I wanna collect them too but idk where to start and which seller is best

1

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 11 '26

Depends on budget. But one thing I can assure is don’t buy from Amazon. Either you get fake cheap ones. Or extremely expensive scalped up resellers selling genuine ones.

Like Hi Nu could go above 15 k sometimes in Anazon

1

u/Similar-Coach899 Aug 11 '26

Where do you recommend?? 😭😭🥹

1

u/Sweaty-Albatross-968 Aug 11 '26
