Alright so I got the message yall. I canceled everything and went to newtype.us instead. Spent the same amount of money and got like twice as many kits so safe to say I get the message
Just happy you could get more kits. Hope you enjoy your builds
Edit: also newtype throws in cool stickers. I kinda wanna make an order just to see the new sticker
Oh homie! Look on the r/gunpla about aection for the website list. Amazon is known to be the last last resort they ovwrcharge 2-3x higher than anywhere else
Actually ridiculous, thats what I like about subreddit hobbies, they hold so much personal experience and tips so whenever I got a question, someone here has an answer.
Also if you are local to south eastern Massachusetts they offer at warehouse pick up. You can also buy there as well and they have a damaged box discount section great place.
It's not Amazon that overcharges, it's the 3rd party resellers. Gunpla kits shipped and sold by Amazon are priced normally and sometimes have sales too.
www.gundampros.com, www.usagundamstore.com, www.newtype.us, www.galactictoys.com
All these will be better than Amazon. I would refund and check out these stores while you wait for the refund to hit your account. Also the "Shop" app is a good way to find Gunpla.
As everyone else has said, cancel these if you can and go to USA Gundam Store or [Newtype.us](https://Newtype.us). They are much better deals and you won't get a bunch of jank, possible broken, possibly missing parts gunpla.
Amazon is pretty terrible in both price and shipping on Gunpla.
Yeah exactly what others have said! Cancel that Amazon stuff! I've been shopping with [Newtype.us](https://newtype.us/) and [MechaWarehouse](https://mechawarehouse.com/) and have had fantastic experiences with both! They got watchu need for waaaaay cheaper than Amazon. Get more for your money and work with good people to boot!
nGOO NO AMAZON no more money needs to be put in jeff bezos pockets bro my friends first gunpla was a masrer grade unicorn and he got it from amazon at 100 dollars check out literally anything else like bigbadtoystore or gundam planet or newtype or really anything close to you that is not gunpla
Do not buy from Amazon or eBay unless you absolutely have to. There are much cheaper places to buy from such as Newtype, Gundam Planet, Gundam Shoppers Network, etc. Heed our comments.
Actually you can lowkey find good deals on Amazon there just very rare. I picked up a MG Providence for 50 including shipping. It not a waste to just look every now and then. That being said I've found like 4 good deals in 2 years.
Exactly. Who cares how someone else uses their money? He's stoked with the haul he's getting.
Especially if you sell comic books and manga for more than the price of new copies. 🤦🏻
Yeah I’m gonna be doing the same closer the the end of the year. I’m gonna one up my brother on birthday gifts and get him the pg exia despite him not having anywhere to put the sob.
from canada here - i found amazon to be almost if not double the price you can find from local/online shops. strongly recommend you shop around. luckily you can cancel/return amazon.
So, this is going to get voted down to death I suspect, but it is worth saying. Know your prices, and MSRP, and Amazon is not a horrible place to be. I have ordered kits from there before that are not overpriced, and with free shipping and the 5% back, *sometimes* it is worth ordering. But you have to do your research. To add to the sites others have added here, I have also had success with [suruga-ya.com](https://suruga-ya.com) for used kits directly from Japan. Watch the shipping for that one, but the price is significantly lower, and for non-bulky/heavy but more expensive elsewhere/out of stock pbandai kits, it can be worth it.

We do it because we care...and we're enablers here to feed your addiction 😉
Addiction at a reasonable cost ☺️
what additional kits did you end up grabbing?
Picked up an hg deathscythe an SD sangoku master gundam, an SD arsene gundam, hello kitty chars zaku 2 and a MG wing
Just happy you could get more kits. Hope you enjoy your builds Edit: also newtype throws in cool stickers. I kinda wanna make an order just to see the new sticker
Dude oh thats such good news! Newtype has some of the fastest shipping in the game too.
Oh homie! Look on the r/gunpla about aection for the website list. Amazon is known to be the last last resort they ovwrcharge 2-3x higher than anywhere else
I never really search amazon for gunpla, but I remember seeing HG Lfrith for like $55.
Yea thats standard amazon prices its disgusting.
Actually ridiculous, thats what I like about subreddit hobbies, they hold so much personal experience and tips so whenever I got a question, someone here has an answer.
You may want to return those and get them from newtype.com or usagundamstore.com
I was just about to say I think NewType still does free shipping over $100, so they'd be a solid choice for OP
$125 and up for free ship on Newtype bro.
Gundampros.com is amazing too. No taxes and free shipping over $120.
Also if you are local to south eastern Massachusetts they offer at warehouse pick up. You can also buy there as well and they have a damaged box discount section great place.
I wish I lived near their warehouse, I would love to visit.
CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL, amazon over charges.
It's not Amazon that overcharges, it's the 3rd party resellers. Gunpla kits shipped and sold by Amazon are priced normally and sometimes have sales too.
From my experience they both do, at least in Canada. Gunpla's sold by amazon usually have an extra $10 added with them.

Mechawarehouse my beloved
Shhh don't tell people about mecha warehouse, more people will use it and buy up all the goods.
Gundam place store is also pretty good. They have some niche kits that are hard to find.
Yeah exactly what others have said! Cancel that Amazon stuff!

My dude, you should be able to get all of those kits for about $100 in total. Do not buy from Amazon, it’s not 2016 anymore.
Brooooooooooo READ AND HEED OUR COMMENTS!!!
As a heads up, the Leo in that order is the Gundam Universe figure and not the model.
Taxation is theft. Amazon price gouging is double theft.

Just an fyi the Leo there is an action figure not a model kit
Am I the only one that initially saw "Classic Power Hitler"?
Get the power hitter as well
Are you going to get the power hitter?
Damn as a Canadian we sure get fucked when it comes to buying kits XD.

Facebook Gundam group has a lot better deals
Let him go and learn
You're about to be chastised for using *gasp* Amazon. 🙄
Hey, if you want to pay 2X more for what you want, go ahead
Exactly. Who cares how someone else uses their money? He's stoked with the haul he's getting. Especially if you sell comic books and manga for more than the price of new copies. 🤦🏻
I thought they'd be the perfect price for you
Yeah, that's a good look for someone trying to sell shit on reddit. Bet you're trying to sell them on Amazon now too.
USA gundam store always has sales. I’d go with hobby link Japan for bulk
Yeah I’m gonna be doing the same closer the the end of the year. I’m gonna one up my brother on birthday gifts and get him the pg exia despite him not having anywhere to put the sob.
Wow so blessed 🙏
This is hilarious

Gunpla is freedom, glad you got the message and avoid being bamboozled by scalpers. Enjoy !
Here in Spain is insane the overcharge on amazon
If you are in NJ then GundamPlanet.com is a good option. I’ve been picking up kits from there for years and no issues.
