You need to bully/persuade him into letting you have the RG Sazabi, it's stunning kit.
My wall of shame (i have a few more to ship over but waiting until Jan as know my luck they'll go awol over Christmas when no one is in the office to sign for them):

I think just finding one in the UK is going to be the biggest challenge

@Musty Pie Where the normal stickers or the water slide type? How did you apply them, I think that's the part I fear having to do the most.
For the kit, I'll have a look when I get back but I think what Beelzebub has put is probably the best you'll get. The RX-93 Hi Nu Gundam is pretty cool if that tickles your pickle and want an alternative.

They were a mix of normal stickers and metallic stickers.
Not quite settled on the best approach to them yet tweezers works but I've noticed now marks the metallic stickers if you're a bit too heavy-handed.
The edge of a very thin craft knife to peel the stickers and apply seems to work well.
I've also read about using toothpicks as stickers tend not to stick to those too much.

I've ordered from Japan Cool before (only once) and it all came without issue, this was back in April though. Probably is best to call though as they seem to mark everything as limited stock.

I emailed them yesterday, they have told me they dont stock it, but do have an alternative: https://japan-cool.uk/1-100-mg-rx-93v2-hi-nu-gundam-ver-ka/ - but i had my heart set on the RG version.
I've also ordered a RG God Gundam, wont come until Just before christmas, but that one looks like a fun build.
Is there a way to tell what kits have water slides? and also has anyone got experience with doing any? I'm keen to find a good kit to test out doing them!

This is the best site I've found where you can see what comes in the boxes and how each one really looks.

I was going to suggest the God Gundam as loads of people say great things about it.
This is potentially no use to you at all but I know they have the RG RX-93 in stock in Hamley's. They don't show it on the site but they had a bunch of them in-store today. It was on the pricier side though, I think it was around £60....
For the one they suggested as an alternative, I think that's considered to be one of the best RG kits you can get alongside the God Gundam.
The Sazabi is also a really highly regarded RG kit, plus it's a bigger kit once built as well.
1/144 RG Sazabi | Char's Counterattack | Rivals Corner
Build Char's Sazabi from "Char's Counterattack" as an RG! This legendary kit is packed with realistic detail, lifelike gimmicks, & an amazing range of motion.

Yeah the alternative kit does look great so might take a punt on it after Christmas.

HG Barbatos

Testing out the cabinets with the pre-built ones I've been buying the last couple of months. Very pleased with them. Although with all the new ones I have to build I know I'm going to run out of room

You can adjust the brightness and choose White/Blue/Warm. They also have a motion sensor so only come on when needed.
These ones : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DMNY48KH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
I'll wait for the price to go back down again and get a 3rd most likely

Checked online and they had it showing in stock.
Managed to order it for £45 inc shipping after a 10% discount on a web order!!! Just hope it turns up and its the right kit!
Thanks!
