Gunpla Expo 2012 - Singapore

Went down to the Gunpla Expo 2012 Singapore stop @ NEX today
Lots to see and buy.

The event focus on 3 series (Age, Seed, Unicorn) and the RG line.
Didn't see much display from other series other than the massive display at the center of the event with 24 Gundams from different series (way cool!).
I've sorted the photos my wife took into a few different parts for convenience of viewing.

If you buy more than $200 worth of gunpla, be sure to go to the NEX service counter to redeem 1 of the 2 BB Sango Gundam (Shin Chouun Gundam Hieisen & Shin Gurensou Sousou Gundam Zetsuei). It's a redemption from NEX and not the gunpla expo so they ain't obliged to tell you. I got both of these so you can guess the minimum that I spent on the event.

Also be sure to ask for the 3rd gunpla promotion campaign cards from the counter staff, they forgot to give me mine, lucky I checked (double the chance if your purchase is from Age, Seed, Unicorn)

No budget, never mind, there's a free gunpla workshop so you get to fix a FG model for Free. Also grab the free catalogue which has quite a nice bit of info on the 3 series including the story line and gunpla available. These 2 alone is worth making a trip down to NEX.

The event ends on 9 Sep 2012 (Sun) so I might pop down again if time permits.
Enjoy the pictures below if you can't make it to the event.

The EVENT
 Didn't get a very good shot but the ceiling is a LED display for "GUNPLA"


The first few displays at the entrance

 This is the perfect marker set for the 3rd gunpla promotion campaign. Hope I get one of these at the minimum, zero wins for the last 2 campaigns.
