Not quite on-topic, but I thought it was worth mentioning. My local TRU has a
bunch of smallish Gundam model kits for sale @ about $8.00. I know almost
nothing about mecha, so I can't give name/style details, but I was surprised

models were nearly impossible to get in stock. We would place orders for 200
pieces, listed in the catalogue as available, and we'd get about 6 or 7
delivered to us! I imagine TRU might have slightly better purchasing clout
than a two-location mom-&-pop hobby store...
Dave!
