Gundam Model kit orders

Hey I am a new member i am kind of a newbie with the model kit scene i looked on alot of sites where you can make orders and most of them were short of alot of the models i was wondering if there is a really good site i could see every model kit that has been made present and past ?

I am a big gundam wing fan i also wanted to know if there are detailed mercuris & vayate models i know bandai released kits for these 2 suits along time ago they were also very cheep and didnt look that great so just wanted to know if there is a more detailed kit for these models.

My last question is short is there kits for the normal mobile suits in gundam wing (Leo ,Taurus , Virgo ,Cancer ,Pisces , Aeris ... ect.
that is all i want to know if anyone has some info i would be greatful thanks.

HLJ is probably the one most folks use to get their kits as well there is also Gundam shop and Gundam Store and more. There's also ebay but you have to be wary of the sellers that sell the bootleg versions of the kits.

As far I am aware there was only the 1/144 scale kits mercuris & vayate made so you're stuck with that.

If memory serves there was LM versions of the Leo and Taurus but those are extremely rare.

I was told there was also an "Aries" but I have never seen it myself so I tend to side on the thinking that it was probably a fanmade(aka kitbash) version from other kits.

There's probably folks here who can fill in the gaps I left but in any case I hope this helps you out.

#1...

Your avatar is FRIGIN' HUGE!!! There's an 80x80 pixel limit...


#2 HLJ and Gundamstore&more are where I get my kits from 99% of the time. Great prices, the wait from HLJ is sorta crappy.. but what can you say about getting kits straight from Japan for so cheap.

Yep, they're discontinued so you'll have to do a bunch of leg work to find them if you want them.

Doing some random poking around over on HLJ and it seems the Leo was made in 1994, the Taurus was made in 1997 and there is an Aries kit as well as a Virgo IIkit.

Hopefully the links I put in work for you too and this helps you out.

Well the Leo, as an 1/144 LM (Limited Model), will require extensive work to make it look like what's on the box or better. It's not made up of many pieces so posability is limited and gluing and painting are a must. From my search I wasn't able to find much save for this listing on eHobbyland. Not sure about availability as nothing is mentioned so your best bet is to e-mail them and ask.

I'm pretty sure the Aries and Virgo kits were not made by Bandai and are probably garage/resin kits. I see the Leos show up on Ebay pretty regularly (maybe once ever 2 months) and usually for pretty decent prices.

Going by the information on the HLJ pages (Which Nimrod gave links to), both the Aries and Virgo II are indeed official resin kits (Which would explain why they were $105 each, as opposed to the plastic, $6.50-ish Leo).
