Actually, I would have mentioned it here at the boards if I saw some hard to find gundam stuff in Singapore. But they have mostly the same stuff we have here. I was just lucky with the extended msia gouf. It was the last one they had. They had several of the extended justice gundam, which we have here in manila at greattoys. Hmmm sa bagay it was like during last time maybe a year ago when I was in Toy kingdom Southmall that they have an EMSIA Gouf lurking around with two stocks left but right now they were gone never to have a restock again .... *sigh ... the only stocks that they have are the new ones .... it was like minsan lang sila mag stock ng mga old kits it would take a year or two before they have a new stock of old kits ....

Exactly. They'll get a few pieces of a toy and possibly never restock again or if ever they do, it will be a long time afterwards. That's what makes it hard to collect...if you pass up on an item, you may never come across it again.
Imagine, it took a trip to Singapore to find that extended msia gouf, and I was only lucky. I managed to check several stores, and only one store had it and it was their last one! They all had the current figures, same as here in Manila. Actually, there are more here in Manila!

yup your right there we're very lucky to have all the same kits that they have in Japan or HK ... lesson here is if you manage to see one go grab em never have a second tot even the kit is ugly hehehe or you gonna wait again in a matter of years or worse will never see them again ... That reminds me I'll be going to SM Megamalls TK and buy me that MSIA RX-78-5 or 4 hanging around I'm having second tots about it hehehe ....

Hello fellow Gundam fans! These are my latest acquisitions as of July 4: I bought these Big Scale G Gundam figures from Mr. Sze Hang Chan from Michigan, USA and used the pictures he uploaded because he did a great job photographing them. Normally I take pictures of my toys myself, as you will notice if you've been following my collection. The shipping cost was a killer! I wanted them by Fedex to be sure I would receive them so the shipping cost alone was several thousand pesos. That's what I get for buying "Big Scale" figures-- the shipping cost was "Big Scale" as well. These are ready-made toys and not model kits. They do look great though, so I guess they're worth it. Shining and Hyper Shining Gundam God and Hyper God Gundam Master Gundam

Hi ikabod, They're about 8 inches, I think. These were released in the U.S.. They look great. As for the hyper master, I'll get it too if it's out there.

Thanks ikabod, I really hope I find the hyper master. It would have been better for all of us Gundam fans if they released these Big Scale G Gundam toys here in the Philippines. I am sure a lot of us fans would have gotten at least a figure or two. They really are nice figures. Unfortunately, it seems like this was a "U.S. only" release, and the release was done some time ago, so they aren't easy to find even over there. ...And it would have been so much cheaper for me!!!

hey quito. congrats on those new hauls. grabe. so the shipping was a killer huh. it's worth it naman for the collection, right? 8 inches is not bad. but it smaller than the DX MSiA by 2-3 inches? anong category ulit yung scale nya? thanks bro.
btw, when you said BIG SCALE, are you reffering to the same BIG SCALE 1/60 model kits? i mean, "SCALE-WISE".

Thanks No3ljm. Yup shipping cost was very high, but I think worth it. I used big scale because this was the description of the figures when I purchased them. I got these figures loose but I think their boxes said this too. I don't know how they compare with the kits because I collect the toys, but I measured them and give their sizes below. I would put the size of these figures from 7.5 to 8 inches, like the archenemy line that's come out here in the Philippines. The DX Gundam GP01 I have is about 9.5 inches and the DX size transforming Wing Gundam I have is a little over 11 inches. I haven't measured the DX size Wing Zero Custom. Hope that helps as far as the size of the Gundam figures is concerned.

The god gundam on the shelf is not the same as the one I have. I think that it's a model kit. It would be best to ask lonewolf where he got it.

And don't forget that the ones I bought are ready made toys, not model kits.
