No idea, maybe HLJ?

I have an unbuilt still in box MG EZ08 to part with, yours for $28 plus postage.

Should look something like this if built, minus the stand.

In Melbourne, the only places I know of is:

- Hobby Japan (City)
- That Hobby Shop on Lonsdale (near corner Lonsdale and Swanston)
- Minotaur (used to have a lot of them at really good prices but seems they don't order them in as much anymore.
- Anime Zone (Box Hill)
- another japan hobby shop int he same center as Anime Zone.

I used to get them a lot, especially SD Gundam kits but they are getting too costly and are worse dust collectors than Lego. The build is fun but that's all the fun you get besides some playability in the finished product. I settled for Transformers eventually.

I've toyed with getting them but they're fragility combined with time issues have meant I've delayed it. The one I had my eye on was the Freedom Lightning Strike which I was so keen on at one point but am now thinking that even if I got it, it'd just gather dust since time's at such a premium these days.

ive been looking on ebay and found some good stuff, im just trying to work out weather getting them localy will work out cheaper after things like postage and the exchange rate

im going to head down to the one off swanston today after uni
