I really want an MGEX unicorn, but the wife says “that’s too much money for a plastic robot”
She's not wrong, lol. I got mine for 20% off retail and it was still a ton.
It’s floating around $250-300 USD. It’s hard to justify dropping that much on a hobby in one hit.

I grabbed it for my spouse on sale ~~at like $100~~ for just under $200. I think it was the tail end of the original print. For that money you can get a PGU.
The new PGU Nu Gundam can be pre-ordered for $650. I think it’s supposed to release in January ‘26 at an msrp of ¥66,000 ($455)
Yeah, that one completely didn't register with me lol. I was referring to Grandpa. Zero idea wtf Bandai is thinking with the Nu.
That's unfortunately about right. I think I got mine knocked down from 275 to closer to 200 bc I was buying other stuff too. They gave me time to actually verify they were offering a deal. It was certainly not far in price from my PGs
You, my friend, got a steal 🙌
Your comment made be go find the receipt lol. Turns out my memory was playing tricks on me, was closer to $170 (sale price plus coupon). I have edited my unintentional exaggeration, but yeah, I was (relatively) happy with the price.
Anyone here also into Masterpiece Transformers? Yeahhhhhhhhh... now that shit is crazy expensive. Gunpla is a steal IMO.
