same, mine says not eligible for prime
was unsure since i didnt have prime, removed it now
would've been a banger if it was free!
@cathole: It was $17.19 back in late Sept with free shipping. Here's to hoping we'll see it on Black Friday.
Big W sell some entry grade Gundam if anyone interested:

Not bad price all things considered. I'd say $10-12 would be a better price point for EG.
What is the difference in grades?
Scales and complexity mostly. EG, HG, RG are 1/144 scale. MG and Re1/100 are 1/100 scale. PG is 1/60 scale.
@Grey 13: Ah ok thanks, so scale but also detaing. Thanks for the reply.
@Spendmore: Mostly complexity and colour correctness. Eg to compare an HG and RG (both same size) RG will have an inner frame (which is awesome), much higher part count, more options for accessories, more detail on the pieces, and be colour correct (a HG will be mostly correct but often need stickers or a minor touch up if you want it completely perfect).
I say mostly however, as the more modern HG kits tend to blur the lines quite a bit. Despite the fact that there's something actually called entry grade, HG is the "real" entry level grade and the most common one. Many models only come in HG unless they're the protagonist suits.
Incidentally, this isn't a great bargain when you include shipping.
@Ezuku: Awesome thanks for the detailed explanation.
@Grey 13: FM (Full Mechanics) is 1/100 as well.
$23.32 International delivery 21 November - 3 December.
This is as nerdy as it gets folks
Lol far from it trust me.
This is barely nerdy at all. I see you have never encountered waifu pillows then..
This has been the price for a while. Shipping is $23.32 which basically killed this deal as the total price is $35.42.
For your reference I got this kit on sale back in late Sept this year for $17.79 on Amazon AU via Japan free shipping with a bunch of other WFM kits.
Edit: Also it is not free shipping even with $59 spent so OP please edit your title.
Been a Gundam dry spell lately. Thanks OP!
The shipping makes it not a deal in my view.
There is HG MK-II for $16.38:

but again, the shipping makes it not a deal.
pretty much local prices with the shipping
Not much of a deal, while the shipping is more than the item.
Does anyone have any insight into what’s happening with the prices of Amazon Japan products?
For a while a lot of items were selling, including postage, for close to the Japanese retail price. Then everything I had been buying (gundam, puzzles, etc.) jumped by about $15. Not sure if the prices were initially a mistake, but definitely disappointing.
free prime shipping isn't appearing for me.
