Pretty much all the resin kits I've ever seen, no matter the suit, scale, or complexity, seem to average well above the 10k Yen price point, even for some conversions, so it seems about average price for what it's offering, and I believe that price point is completely justified. Mind you, these resin kits are produced in very different manner from the Bandai styrene plastic kits we usually build, and in far more limited numbers. Also, though the at first glance seem less complex than a HG, they are a whole different beast when it comes to building them. Most need to be glued and pinned together, and very few are molded in any color other than that tan color you see in the images, so painting is a must, not to mention that I've heard that breathing in resin dust from sanding without some sort of filter is one of the many things some kit builders do that can lead to lung cancer later on. Basically, not something for an inexperienced or ill prepared modeller.
12000 yen ? any special in this 1/144 kit ?
