The Massive Bandai Strike Freedom Gundam Perfect Grade Model Kit Drops to the Lowest Price of the Year
You’d think with the threat of tariff-related price hikes constantly looming, prices on Bandai Gundam model kits would be way over retail, but that’s not necessarily true. Case in point, Amazon is currently offering the Bandai Strike Freedom Gundam Perfect Grade Model Kit for $219.99. This is sold and shipped by Amazon directly, not a marketplace reseller. This kit retails for around $300 but prices have hovered closer to $250-$260 for most of 2025. This is one of the biggest and most display-worthy Gundam sets you can get for under $300, and would make an amazing gift idea this holiday season for any Gundam superfan or hobby model enthusiast.
The Bandai Strike Freedom PG kit was released way back in 2010. It is a 1:60 replica of the mobile suilt piloted by Kira Yamato in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. This is a very impressively sized build, measuring 23.2″ x 15.7″ x 6.7″ thanks to its imposing DRAGOON “wings”. Like any Perfect Grade model, this is not a kit for beginnners; with nearly 1,000 fragile pieces, this $200+ set requires patient, skill, and the proper modeling tools for successful completion.
This set has been priced between $210-$220 in years past, but prices went up significantly in 2025 with the concern over tariffs. Fortunately during the holiday season, the price seems to have dropped, although I don’t know for how long. Even if you purchase it now, there’s no guarantee that this kit will arrive before Christmas.
