Yeah, that's why I usually cheap out on the shipping or buy 3-4 at a time. Plus shipping is just reality online. I've been thankful to get a couple from local shops. Most of the non-exclusives can still be had for around $30 from one site or another. The odd thing I've noted is that one site like nippon-yasan or HLJ might have a great price on some of the figures and then high prices on others. Can't really pick one place to buy and get the best price.


Model building takes a lot of time and money just to have all the right tools and space to work. I built a fair amount of Gundams and other models in my teens but now I would rather spend the money for supplies on figures and I just don't have enough space to dedicate to a proper workstation. I usually have to clear off my dining table to do touch ups or custom paints for MU figures and I rarely have time for that.
