I am fortunate, in Calgary there are 3 stores that sell gundams. 1 store actually specializes in gundams. You can get them at hobbylink, hobbywave which are online sites.

Actually, I did buy a couple of 1/144 scale gundams from Pheonix comics in Calgary once, and one from Chinook Hobby. Totally forgot about those places. I would be interested to hear about those dedicated places in Calgary though, as I have never been! I stopped collecting when I had kids (and started my current tank) a few years ago. I want to crack open open a box or two this winter break though. My son really likes them too, except that I don't let him play with them.

They are all in china town. If you go into dragon city mall, go upstairs and there will be in a small little shop. The shop is glass on 3 sides? You can't miss it, it has gundam boxes and anime figures pretty much on the glass wall. That one has a lot of models.

I go to another one across the street (across from dragon city parking lot) its called Far East Shopping Centre, its in a little strip mall and inside there are two shops that sell them. I go to the one with the old couple running it, they usually have slightly better prices and I hagel.

Your welcome, they are so fragile, I am sure when he gets older he will appreciate them and build them. Honestly I stopped watching after gundam seed, they cried too much... I heard gundam 00 and unicorn was good but I just never gave them a chance.You should give Code Geass a try, it has mechs and makes you think just like Death Note.

Oh my god what have I done! Pretty soon its going to be gundams over acros for you :P. I spy with my little eye a deathscythe hell MG in the sink Don't forget to get the primer,paints, top coat and inking and let the long nights begin.

I have a PG, its wing gundam. It took me over a week to build, with the newer PGS, especially strike freedom PG its even bigger and badder than ever with way more pieces. My friend collects gundams and hes most of the PGs even made. I don't like PGs, I like MGs since they are smaller, cheaper and take up less room and not to mention a lot more posable, there usually involves lots of joint modifications on PGs since they are so heavy.

http://www.dalong.net This guy has every gundam in his collection, this is where I go to see which ones I want since he will have new ones prior to release since hes sponsored.
