Chara Hobby 2008 Limited Gundam 00 Exia Trans-Am Mode














Over six months ago I saw and then purchased the limited edition version of the 1/60 Exia model that was up for sale at Chara Hobby 2008, from Yahoo Japan Auctions, via Shopping Mall Japan. It took me until this past week to unbox it and put it together. ^^; All-in-all the kit was pretty easy to put together, it took me about a day-and-a-half from start to finish, since almost all parts were translucent and not meant to be painted or sanded at all. As compared with the more common -- and recent -- release of the 1/100 scale Trans-Am Exia, this version is clearly superior. A proud purchase and a nice project to boot! ^_^

Sir how much did you get this for? Is it still possible to look for one?
I can't find one locally here (I'm from the Philippines btw)

I found mine on Yahoo Japan Auctions, and used a proxy bidding service (shoppingmalljapan.com) to get it for me. I would think that there might be one or two floating around on there, still.
