Hi Dave.
The reason all of this has gotten cheaper and more available is the
promotion linked to Gundam Wing, which has been showing on Cartoon Network.
Bandai America is now licensed to release a whole bunch o' GW merchandise in
the States now.
You can find Gundam models from other series if you check anime stores and
comic shops in your area. I have a local store in Seattle called
International Model Toys that I visit on occasion.
You should also check out http://www.hlj.com They have lots of mecha models
of all flavors, and you can get them at reasonable prices.

| (...) Figures! I had people griping at me almost daily when we couldn't stock them, and now that I'm out of that line of work Gundams (Gunda?) are coming out of the woodwork! Thanks for the info, though. Dave! (24 years ago, 28-Sep-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
