I’m not even sure.  I just went to google with a bunch of search terms like “Flame Toys Furai Model Optimus Prime G1 Version”, or “where to buy Furai models” and clicked every link it offered me.  Best price is https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/product/flame-toys-furai-model-optimus-prime-g1-version.html but everyone appears to be out of everything I recognise right now.  I figured the world being upside down was to blame, but I’m new to this market, so I thought it might be this way always.  Its gotta be a niche industry.

If you have any UK shops you like for this sort of a thing a few links might be helpful.  I’m sure if I went googling for the minis I usually paint I wouldn’t always end up at the sites I would order them from.

Have you Gunpla’d before?  What sort of build time would you expect from a £40ish kit like G1 Prime?  I saw the back of the box on a video and it looks like he might have similar, perhaps less sprues than a GW Start Collecting box.  I think they’re a day, perhaps two to build for me.
