>>6477404Okay so my hobby shop only had a few gundams there, but I was able to snag this guy for $21.
https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-MS-05-Origin-Model/dp/B01MZBHCX2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502504247&sr=8-1&keywords=ms+05+zakuThey also had a fucking amazing selection of paints and weathering kits, so I picked up a tamiya weather master C for $11, which is just $3 more than amazon's list price and a fine tip gundam marker for panel lining and a can of model master lacquer overcoat, at the recommendation of the shop owner. He said I'd want to apply that before doing the weathering effects. Also picked up a HGUC 1/44 scale model stand for $8 as well.
Overall, I think it was a pretty nice haul, totaling about $55. It seems like this dude is selling basically $3 above amazon's prices on most items, which is fine because in total I've saved a bunch on shipping. I still don't have any runner cutters since I have some in the mail from amazon and didn't get the thin cement glue for the same reason. So I'm going to have nubs and seam lines, but it's my first build so I think it'll be okay.
