what i mean like the XL branch people can provide their items availability information to the guy who maintain the website...it is better than let the goods stuck in the shop and no people come to buy it. Too bad if website selling not XL priority...i bet the XL staff will feel annoying if i call them too many time for just to ask they got PO certain figure or still available or not, maybe they will tension when hear my voice

And i also not confidence enough that the branch staff will know what toys i looking for or they lazy to find then answer me no stock at all...except the lady at ampang, i trust her. Last time i go ampang main shop, there are two lady in the shop, one is for sure the lady i just mention, another is normal staff. Then the lady go out, i take up one set of ToHeart 2 gashapon in the shop and ask the normal staff that is it variation set or not. The normal staff answer dont know and tell me to ask the lady..so i have to wait lady come back and ask her.

So far, XL is good, service is not bad than any other shops. Shops layout also.

I'll be blunt a bit la, your mouth is there on your face for a reason, ask. Not everything in websites are accurate, example, wiki.

Lucky they provide phone# for each branch in the websites, else if they implement email/contact us in a feedback version, forever you'll wait for their reply.

You can spend RMXXX for a toys, and why you can't spend a few cents calling them and ask?

Haha I think snakees post wasn't complaining about graffiti, instead he's praising it (of course, non-chalantly)

very true that gt is not the cheapest in town, but gt actually stabilize the price of gundam and many others japan toy which the yen is stated on the box itself. before i discover this shop, i am paying actually 25% - 35% more for every japan toy being purchase else where. imagine paying that extra until today! . i mean i don't mind lah, paying more, but why should i pay more? for customer service? for a nice attitude of shop owner? you got to be kidding, i am not those stupid people that fight with their own money just for customer service and attitude.

anyway whether i am phrasing, hate or complaining or whatever. i have no regret knowing this shop. as the longer you deal with this shop, discovering their secret pricing,make you ask yourself whether izzit too good to be true or what, fake? well the answer from me is, yes. their pricing is really unpredictable and unbelievable. try it yourself la, support and loyalty really does count.same goes for your pr as well. yes i did pay extra in gt before, but after dealing with gt for a few years, the expensive era in buying toys is over. the cheap era of buying toys have finally started for me. well loyalty,support and even paying more without complaining really have a good pay off at the end. and is only happening in this particular shop. i hate to admit it, but i can't get any cheaper elsewhere beside from gt .

you will know what i really mean when you deal with gt long enough. and when this happen, yes gt is really the cheapest in town. offering the impossible, unbelievable, unbeatable and unpredictable price which they guarantee elsewhere can't offer. and it is really true, no point hunting elsewhere in malaysia after gt guarantee price. try it yourself, at the end, you will know what i really mean.good luck.

yes...i hate the Yen to RM conversion that go up and down and not stable. Indeed some toy shop will rise their price very quickly when Yen to RM conversion go up, not matter it is in stock item or preorder items. I wonder will they lower their price too if conversion rate go down...

yeah agree that sometimes they have some unbelievable offer...... i used to get a figurine there that's RM100 cheaper than else where. until i got scared and went to double confirm whether i was getting a fake one!

Uhh about figures, GT have a mix of genuine and bootleg figures... so do exercise extreme cautions when buying them at GT

i see Kousaka Tamaki 1/7 Kotobukiya, Nanoca Flanka 1/8 Kotobukiya before at there...so cheap and just about Rm70-100++, myself also buy one set of cheap and bootleg Goodsmile Fate/stay night Trading Figure at there...at early of collect toys age, now regret alrdy =.=

Haha those memang bootleg punya... But I noticed several of the figures's price seems to not be the bootleg one..so I dunno whether those figures are genuine or not

well the question is ,did anyone ever pay for a bootleg at original price before? did anyone ever pay for an original at a bootleg price before? well i did pay for both, bootleg at original price and original at bootleg price before.but not mentioning, what, where and when. will not like to flame anyone at all. always wondering, izzit just me or izzit happening to any other. GT is like - as mention earlier, unpredictable, impossible, unbeatable, unbelievable. or should i say, predictable, possible, beatable , believable ?

Haha no doubt for things like gunplas, GT only got the genuine one. But for PVC figurines, it is safe to say that most of PVC figurines there are bootleg.

haiz...just my experience on Melaka Teencom toyshop, their customer service are bad. I buy one toy at their shop at early of 2008 and found defect thus return to them for replacement. But wait until now(almost wait one year already), they found replacement but request me to pay more RM40 to get it (i already pay the original price). I thought the toy defect is not my responsibility and i no need to pay more for the replacement, so i take back my money that pay at early. After that i know the replacement had offer to another guy who looking for it with same price + extra. Just a waste of time for me to be dumb to wait for the replacement, i could get better offer during that period

i have ordred an item for over 1 week 3 days iv emailed them tryed to call them i payed the dam thing but no reply after that no item no postage notification....this is srsly not funnny.

Dude... who is 'them'?

xl toyshop lol my bad >.<

what item?
Pre-order stuff? or ready stock stuff?

To be fair, it IS the CNY season. Maybe XL's staffers are on holiday?

ready stuff's, well to be more fair they should at least infrom about the delay...

Here's a few shots I managed to get from Glory System Enterprise.





Pros: Good customer service, A lot of stuffs, can book or preorder, cheap compared to most shops.

Cons: Weird business hours, small shop and damn so many people everytime I go there

Guys,

I went to Times Square for a walk, and eventually saw this shop here in the IT centre.



They are selling loose Transformers Legend Class quite cheaply. Dunno if is ori or bootleg.



Here are some photos which I was able to take.
