Series Assembly Guide FAQ

New Builder Welcome Kit — Golden Week Bundle

Everything a first-time builder needs in one box. A current-series HG kit, a beginner-friendly Entry Grade build, a marker set for finishing, and a stand for display. Hand it to someone who's never touched a Gunpla kit and they're sorted.

What's Included

  • HG 1/144 Gundam Zagan — the anchor. A solid, current-generation HG kit with excellent colour separation out of the box.
  • Entry Grade 1/144 Wing Gundam — the perfect first build. Minimal parts, clear instructions, satisfying result. Takes about 30 minutes.
  • Gundam Marker Basic Set — six markers covering the essential colours for panel lining and detail work.
  • Action Base 1 — universal display stand so both kits have somewhere to live once they're built.

Your Savings

Bought separately, these items retail for $114.96. The bundle price is $69.99. You save $44.97.

Who's This For

First-time builders, gift buyers, and anyone who wants to introduce someone to the hobby. Start with the Entry Grade Wing Gundam to learn the basics, then step up to the HG Zagan. The marker set teaches panel lining. The action base teaches display. It's a complete on-ramp.

Assembly Guide

No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fukubukuro and what's inside this bag?

Fukubukuro (福袋) is a Japanese lucky bag tradition. You buy a sealed bag at well below the retail value of the contents, and you don't choose what goes in. Every bag is packed here in Brisbane from genuine Bandai kits and accessories. We list the guaranteed minimum retail value and the structure of each tier — how many kits, how many accessories — but the specific combination is a surprise. That's the whole point.

Are these discounts applied automatically?

Yes, all discounts are applied automatically at checkout. So there is no messing around putting in discount codes.

What's included in this bundle?

Everything listed in the product description above. Every item is in new, factory-sealed condition from genuine Bandai stock. This is a curated bundle we've put together for Golden Week — the kits are selected because they work well together, not because we're clearing junk. The Compare At price reflects what you'd pay buying each item separately in the store.

Does this bundle include a gift card?

Gift cards are issued automatically at checkout based on your total order spend, not per product. Spend $95 or more and you'll receive a $10 gift card. Spend $165 or more and it's $20. Spend $260 or more and it's $35. The gift card is emailed to you and valid for 60 days. It works on anything in the store.

When will my order ship?

Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm AEST on weekdays, shipped from Brisbane. Every Golden Week order also includes a free Omake (bonus gift) — a surprise on top of what you ordered. Free shipping applies to orders over $199.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
