For people wandering, this version of the astrea is basically celestial being's test mobile suit where pretty much all of it's armaments were developed into the weapons of the gundams that we see in the series, the most notable ones are the GN proto sword that became Exia's GN sword and the GN proto laucher that became the throne eins GN mega launcher.

Mecha, do you or anyone else know where I could possibly find one? I know there are the RG kits but they are expensive and would look odd with all my other kits being MGs, and I don't know how I feel about the bootleg MG kits.

Is Buyee actually the cheaper option to buy the figures/kits compared to just waiting for ebay, amazon, and aliexpress?
@MechaGaikotsu3 ай бұрын
It really depends. I bought this from media world in akihabara through buyee. They're an actual shop so they only add a bit of a charge on (700 yen) to the retail price instead of doubling/tripling it like scalpers do. Then buyee add their service fee of 300 yen. Shipping in the end cost me a bit more because I had it added to a package with the MG V 2 gundam and chose the most expensive/fastest option which was EMS which came to 5,500 yen. Usually I go with airmail which would have been closer to 2500 yen. So that would have been 12500 yen by the cheapest shipping (still fast btw, usually a week) for a total of €73/$80. Cheapest I can find on ebay is $149 shipped, and I can't find it on amazon at all at the moment. It really is a bit of a case by case situation, and sometimes a bit of a treasure hunt, but usually I find it cheaper for rarer collectables. Regular kits are usually cheaper from HLJ or your local official stockist, IF you can find them in stock. But if you're like me and you want what you want RIGHT NOW (or at a reasonable price post release), then Buyee is the way to go as everything is currently in stock besides the odd preorder on there. Probably the biggest endorsement for BUYEE, and it's a huge one, is the fact that it's the ONLY place that sponsors the channel that my wife shops from. And she shops from there a LOT! edit: yeah you might now want to buy from ali express unless you're buying kits from actual Chinese brands
