How bout we share minor part of the shipping fee then paid for the poslaju fee when stock arrive to the one who receive the stuff?

Is it a useable way???

Wah!!! why need to wait for 1.5 years?

nvm we will see how Kuman's order .... if everything ok then maybe we will find someone to bulk togather and ship to one ppl's house then again ship back to us by post laju

i bought altogether 8 new mint figures so shipping was around US$60. 1 of the figures is the marvel select punisher figure, damn huge the packaging. after my wife gave birth to our 1st child my salary every month only cukup2 to survive lah. no more money on toys. imagine lah... infant milk... pampers...

so at the end my friend in texas kept them for 1.5 years until recently when i got the money to pay him anyway i've received all the toys on last thursday all in good condition. damn happy... but kastam taxed me rm30 something.

aduh after married hav to giv up our hobby edi... so dun married so early

UPDATES
HLJ already shipped my order via SAL yesterday... the shipping charges is around RM35... and see how long i have to wait for it to arrive in my sweaty hand..

i placed another order... but unfortunately they didnt manage to include it in this shipment.. .... maybe i'll instruct them to on-hold it first...

tak sabar already....

Mine shipped on yesterday as well.... LoL~~~~
Hehehe.....
It should take 8-9 days to reach.....

let us wait "together-gether" see who's package reach us first..
maybe next week.... waiting....waiting..

on the other note....

other then the HLJ where else do you guys buy models from online?

i found a couple Japan online store (since i think their price is quite reasonable compared to others) namely Hobby World and 1999

those 2 have a cheaper kits but always no stock... maybe because their price is cheap.. a lot of people buy from them.. thats why always no stock..

maybe my next purchase i'll try from them and see...
anyone have experience getting from those 2 shops?

Count me as another satisfied customer of HLJ. Orders usually arrive within 10 days from date of ordering. Kastam just check the box only and didn't open the plastic wrapping. Regarding other online stores, I have ordered from Hobbyeasy of HK - another good store and I think it's a little bit cheaper than HLJ. Have ordered once from Great Models of USA but mahal la!

My parcel just arrived today and everything were intact. I'm not sure why this time it took about 2 weeks to arrive and it might due to the ASEAN Summit Convention and the authorities just taking precaution measures I suppose. About 1999 Hobby Search Kits site, I like them because it shows you the contents in the box and we would actually see and examine the quality of each respective kits from their manufacturers. Unfortunately, 1999 doesnt ship those items by 'SAL' but instead they use 'EMS' and it would be a little bit expensive although they offer lower pricings compare to HLJ.

i'm still waiting for mine... maybe later next week.. since i'm way up here in Kedah...
hopefully the item arrived intact...
yea.. maybe the summit indeed contribute to a lil bit of delay i suppose..

I've found a Japanese version PS2 AVD (dating sim) game and a plastic anime model figure at play-asia.com that I want to buy but after some comparison with other sites such as cdjapan.co.jp I figured that most Hong Kong online merchants sell Japanese imports at a higher price than merchants in US and Japan. Play-asia.com even charge about the same for shipping as US merchants even though it was closer to Malaysia.

The PS2 AVD game I wanted to buy cost 9900 yen (RM320) in Japan, USD95 (RM360) in a US online store but play-asia.com sells it at USD109 (RM415). Cdjapan.co.jp and amazon.co.jp sells items nearer to Japan market price but CDjapan.co.jp carries limited selection of anime model/figures/plush toys and no PS2 games while amazon.co.jp doesn't ship Japanese domestic product out of Japan.

Can you guys help point me to recommended online merchants who sell Japanese domestic PS2 games and anime model/figures/plush toys/collectibles at a reasonable price and ships to Malaysia? Your help is most appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I prefer online stores in Japan that ships to Malaysia.

Have you tried Hobby Link and Hobby Search?

http://www.hlj.com/
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/

The price are much lower but mainly anime figures... not sure about gaming products though.

moved from anime shrine

Check with them, unfortunately not available.
Actually the PS2 ADV game is a limited edition package that comes with a figure.
Why does the Japanese create limited editions when so many people want to get one.

yay!!!

i received my items as well yesterday morning.. intact.. but the box a bit crushed... but luckily yhe inside content just nice...

now.. need to find sometime to put it together..

and it seems that all the parcel have to go through KLIA Kastam... as mine wa chopped with KLIA Kastam in Sepang... becuase at first i thought for the northern g=region the parcel would come through Kastam Penang.. hmmmm... maybe KLIA is the main place for collection...

i think maybe i should buy from hlj since they also accept paypal. i don't think 1999.co.jp accept it though
