Now that Amazon JP products are available directly through Amazon AU, it seems like a few of the more recent gunpla kits (mostly Witch from Mercury) are being sold at more or less JP retail prices.

        • ozbs25 on 28/05/2023 - 18:32

          If you can't see the right price I would search for the item using the full Amazon title. It'll come up showing the price as 1 of x offers. Click of that link until the right link/price shows. You can add to the cart there.

          Edit: This is in a browser though.

    We can purchase Amazon JP products through Amazon AU now!? Lord have mercy on my bank account.

    Edit: The linking of some of the items are a hit or a miss. I didn't have any luck going through your links (they seem to redirect to the AU listings) but could find the Amazon JP items via searching the item name (same thing happened for a few other max factory figures, theres 1 listing for AU, US and German based sellers and an entirely different one for JP).

      Every time I order things from amazon jp with this much of a discount it usually ends up getting cancelled within 24hrs. It would be amazing if these actually go through. These are definitely being sold at a loss if they're shipped form jp at these prices. Several banpresto anime figures at half price too. On a side note, rip au retailers selling figures at 2x to 3x price.

      • Blitzfx on 28/05/2023 - 20:05
        +2

        I can respect local retailers trying to bring these things to AU. Margins can be so thin

      • wackedupwacko on 28/05/2023 - 21:06

        The Banpresto stuff is from Amazon AU and they're trying to clear slow moving stock. Last I checked AmazonJP doesn't sell prize figures only resellers.

      • c2pv1ru5 on 28/05/2023 - 21:06

        I didnt find any discount, just the same price as if buying in Japan, shipping locally without international delivery fee. All my orders were fullfilled and they are daily household items like toothpaste, towel.

      • Bargains4days on 28/05/2023 - 21:20

        Do you have a link for any Banpresto figures on sale now? Couldnt find any

      • teadonna on 28/05/2023 - 21:39

        Oh damn, but at the same time totally understandable (like what the other commenters said, I don't think this price will even cover the shipping costs). I might be showing my age here but yoinks ago the only way to get figures from Japan was either you fly there yourself or pay exorbitant prices (plus shipping) to sketchy eBay sellers, I'm glad the market is starting to grow over here in Aus (even if it is sometimes 2 to 3 times the price…).

        • wackedupwacko on 28/05/2023 - 21:44

          Thing is for a lot of figures, its not even that much more buying here than buying in Japan. Heck sometimes its the other way around as there are plenty of oppountistic resellers trying to cash in on the latest hotness.

          I remember 2019 if i knew the prices, I would've loaded my luggage with 2 cartons of Nezuko Figures and sold it to reseller stores without haggling and it'd have paid for my trip twice over. (who then sold for another 50% markup).

          Take Metal structure Sazabi. At its height during pre-order, thing was $7000 AUD on amazon JP. RRP here is $3000.

          • teadonna on 29/05/2023 - 01:08

            @wackedupwacko: Hahaha I hear you and I'm definitely glad the prices are lower now (and way easier to buy online). But when i say yoinks I mean the late 2000s/early 2010s when eCommerce really started to pick up again after the dot com bust 😂 (I've been in this game for way to long and my better half lets me know constantly).

    • c2pv1ru5 on 28/05/2023 - 21:05

      It is not all products but products fullfilled directly by Amazon JP. The key to search is to use the part number. Not everything is shippable to Australia e.g. medicine.

    • R4 on 28/05/2023 - 21:35

      I hear you - there's been a big hole for Japanese stuff since Rakuten went west

    • dawnflower on 31/05/2023 - 09:40

      :D I think it's for selected products (like there's a international box to tick from their side)

    • e1ghtgundam on 28/05/2023 - 18:57
      +5

      No need to paint

    • Ezuku on 28/05/2023 - 19:03

      It depends. Most of them are largely colour accurate, with most of the parts in the correct colour and the newer kits being better if not perfect on that aspect. There might be a few parts that are the wrong colour or need stickers, but they're in the minority. They always look better painted though, but very serviceable as a straight build.

      Fyi no glue needed either.

    • zonra on 28/05/2023 - 19:05

      They are molded in coloured plastic so no painting is required to achieve stock photo result. Snap fit as well so no glue required.
      All you need is a hobby knife and a pair of snippers, I highly recommend the God-hand clones, I picked one up for $30 or something.

    • FW190 on 28/05/2023 - 22:46
      +1

      most of the parts are usually molded in color already, some parts might require touch ups or stickers

      use a fine tip black pen to fill in some of the panel lines if you are up for it.

      for this particular one, this is what you can expect straight out of the box

    • Blu2 on 28/05/2023 - 22:47

      You don't haven't paint them but colouring can make them better. The red on the Gundam aerial is more like brownish-red or brick-red and the blue plastic is a washed out faded-blue. I haven't painted any of my gundams but the Aerial would be the first one I'd paint

    Building aeriel right now actually. It's awesome and definitely the pinnacle of manufacturing. Lots of quite unique components, including transparent pieces with printing on them and stickers with the printed side on the sticky side. Also has a partial frame which is nice too. Being a main character build it's also underpriced for what it is.

      Don't think knipex make any nippers that particularly help with plastic over a generic pair. Maybe a Tamiya 74123/74035 for general purpose plastic cutting, or dspiae/godhand spn-120 for a single-blade plastic nipper

    • T-man on 28/05/2023 - 20:51

      Lol 😂 they make you addictive to Amazon then they increase the price later. Remember how they first launched in Australia back in 2018?

    • rhyme324 on 28/05/2023 - 21:14

      Amazon only takes commissions from the selling price. They don’t care how cheap it is.

      • wackedupwacko on 28/05/2023 - 21:48

        This is sold by amazon not marketplace. Sold by amazon means amazon is acting as a seller and buying stock from manufacturers at certain rates. There is a very real margin for them in this and can end up as losses.

        • rhyme324 on 28/05/2023 - 23:03
          -1

          Not really. Amazon never buy stocks. Merchants just enroll the SBA program and get paid at least the Minimum Gross Proceed if price is lower. Amazon could force merchant to lower the MGP. Amazon may lost on MGPs but they still take commissions anyway.

          • wackedupwacko on 29/05/2023 - 03:01

            @rhyme324: Amazon definitely purchases and sells themselves as well. This was active way before SBA was even a thing. The backend for this is completely different and does a lot of wholesaler/manufacturers heads in because of how incompetant amazon's buying team tends to be. (US distributors for Gunpla for example have multiple FT staff dedicated to deal with Amazon as their only job).

            I know my friend had a huge headache getting Amazon AU to order gunpla on time for pre-orders (as they'd often miss the deadline then ask flater on) before working for the local distributor.

    • wackedupwacko on 28/05/2023 - 21:47

      They don't. They however likely don't lose much money either as they're running their own consolidated shipping.

      A lot of the cost locally is shipping importing costs which of you can minimise would reduce cost.

      The Aerial for sure.

    • Ezuku on 28/05/2023 - 20:19

      Aeriel. It's completely new, uses the latest manufacturing techniques, completely colour correct, and hugely underpriced (they always underprice the main characters).

      • wackedupwacko on 28/05/2023 - 21:35

        Not necessarily, 3-4 months ago priced would've been the other way as you can't find Aerias. Heck you still can't find them in physical stores in JP so i don't expect stock to stay at this price for long.

    • AngryBlobFish on 28/05/2023 - 20:27

      The Gundam Aerial is the most popular one out of the ones listed above but that is mostly because it is the main gundam in the currently airing show.

      • ce5himm on 28/05/2023 - 20:28
