I found and fell in love with Gundam models when I lived in Okinawa, but haven't done any models (Gundam or otherwise) in a long time. I miss it, and really want to get back into it. So, the million dollar question is where to find Gundam, Macross, and Zoids models in the US without spending a fortune? All the ones I've found online so far are pretty pricy or have high shipping costs.
I've seen many shops that carry model kits but it seems like it's almost always cheaper to buy them online from Japanese shops, even with shipping. Model kits are generally lighter than other toy packages so shipping is less.
