## Important notes

Do not compare this standard kit with the cheaper Light Package version or the Full Weapon Set. The Japan and United States retailers use different internal codes, but both list a 1/144 Entry Grade RX-78-2 with beam rifle and shield. Small parts are present; follow the package age and safety guidance.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
