P-Bandai 1/100 MG Gundam Base Exclusive RX-78-2 Ver 3.0 Titanium Finish

The original Gundam, in titanium. This is the Gundam Base Exclusive Master Grade 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0 with a Titanium Finish. The plastic is plated with a metallic sheen, so the build looks display-ready from the moment you put it together. No paint needed.

Why the Titanium Finish version. The Ver.3.0 is already one of the definitive RX-78-2 builds, with great articulation and an internal frame. The titanium plating gives a collector-piece quality to a kit that was already excellent. Matte gold plating on the neck and chest adds contrast.

Build notes. This is a Master Grade build: high part count, internal frame, multiple build phases. For experienced builders. The metallic coating means solvents and cement can damage the finish, so plan your build before you start and test anything on a spare runner piece first.

Fast Australian shipping. Order before 2pm on a weekday and it ships the same day from Brisbane. Orders over $199 ship free within Australia.

What to watch for. The titanium coating shows nub marks more than standard plastic. Take your time on the gates. This is a Gundam Base Exclusive: limited stock, no reprint date confirmed.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
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 sets Premium Bandai kits apart from regular Bandai kits?

Premium Bandai kits are exclusive, limited edition models not typically found in regular stores. They often feature unique designs, colors, and sometimes even come with exclusive parts or accessories that aren't available in standard Bandai kits.

How does Gundam Express Australia obtain these exclusive P-Bandai kits?

While P-Bandai products are typically sold exclusively in Japan, Gundam Express Australia leverages its network and resources to source these exclusive kits, ensuring our customers have access to these rarities.

If I miss out on a P-Bandai kit, will there be a restock?

Due to the exclusivity of P-Bandai items, once they sell out, we typically cannot obtain more. It's always best to act fast to ensure you secure these limited-edition models. However, sometimes kits are reissued by P-Bandai

Are P-Bandai kits more challenging to assemble than standard kits?

Not necessarily. While P-Bandai kits are exclusive in design and availability, their assembly process aligns with Bandai's typical quality and user-friendly experience. However, they might come with unique parts or decals not found in standard kits.

Why are P-Bandai kits often more expensive than regular Bandai kits?

The premium price is a reflection of the kit's exclusivity, limited production, and the unique designs or parts that might be included. P-Bandai are not sold at a wholesale price to distributors only normal rrp. Given their rarity and the additional efforts to source them outside of Japan, they tend to be priced higher.

Great selection of kit, excellent value for money

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

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!
