That's the whole point of this thread, to help ppl differentiate between the genuine replicas from the fakes. But sad to say that a lot of ppl are still falling prey to the pirates due to lack or insufficient knowledge.

Information shared should never ever be abused in any way whatsoever. To do it for own personal gains just smacks of inethical behaviour, no matter the justification.

The gap is actually for application of front number and patch, so that the netting would not stick onto the shirt when application.

RM500 is inclusive of all the insurances, etc. That's why even if when you convert your nett purchase (from Kitbag) to RM lower than RM500, you still may get taxed once the final amounts are added in, and that amount exceeds RM500.

You may have been upgraded from Royal Mail to UPS due to the value of your purchases.

You can refuse to accept, of which the whole package will be sent back to Kitbag. However, I am not sure what will the amount charged to your CC, as they may include postage, handling fee, etc.

@makakeke - happy birthday too!

@madfag - yes better not remove PU. better to get another kit and apply Lextra this time round.

@beckzaidan - your question is like asking why t-shirts in AX, FCUK, CK are selling at RM1++/RM2++! of course there will be diff tiered cost structures on the kit, that's how most ppl make profits anyway, mark-ups and margins. as for your question on why retailers selling cheaply, they may have gotten cheap stocks from other retailers, who decided to offload old off-season stocks for a cheaper price to liquidate them (convert to cash).

Why not? The new Lextra NNs are from seasons 0708 onwards, and since 0608 was worn for 2 seasons (0607 and 0708), you can put the current NNs for this shirt.

Select your players from the squad roster of 0708 though, and not 0607.

Yup, names suggested would be (quote Wiki);

Di Santo 27
Makelele 4
Pizarro 14
Sidwell 9
Shevchenko 7
Ferreira 20 (before Deco came along)
Ben-Haim 22
Wright-Phillips 24

These are the few to continue your trend on the lesser big names

From experience, it should be one season i.e. 09/10.

New stocks available @ ALI BB include;

0710 EPL patch - restock RM49
0809 Champs patch (for MU) - restock RM49
CWC patch (for MU) - restock RM59
WC 2010 namesets - RM99
Germany - Ballack 13
Spain - Torres 9
Russia - Arshavin 10
Argentina - Messi 10

UCL starball long ago finished in KL, as UEFA has made it a controlled item, and can only be sold with the kit in selected stores.

MU UCL NN is available at both Real One and ALI, a lot of choices too. Call them up to confirm availability!

Happy CNY to all LYN JCs who are celebrating the lunar new year, drive safely, and win more!

New arrivals @ 3/3;

ALI BB - WC 2010 kits;
Argentina away
Spain away
Italy home
Brazil home/away

Looks to me the Brazil 3rd would be similar to the England 3rd (Navy) which would only be used in events of colour clashes. Commercial availability should be close to 0 unless both teams crash out of WC early or Nike/Umbro decides to cash in instead.

Def ps-ed. no black chevron, and white collars.

on a separate note, new Brazil home and away plus Australia away sighted at Nike Boutique MVMM, RM259.90.

The Bat kit is a 90th Anni kit (IINM) and is only worn for a number of selected matches, usually against the bigger teams and/or derbies.

well EPL in PU are also available loose in the UK, as they do customised names as well. I am not really sure why the EPL chose to go for PU replica and non-PU player sized, it used to be even confusing last time, with PU/non-PU replica and non-PU player sized! But I am quite certain it's some sort of market demand as well, for PU replica (not sure of why the demand though).

the other interesting thing to note is that I did go for a stadium tour last time, and during visits to the dressing rooms, the guide did say that the megastore used PU as it's more lasting as compared to non-PU. I didn't really want to correct him there and then, I'm sure he has his reasons to state that (maybe commercial, avoid misunderstanding, etc etc). FYI the 'kits' in the dressing rooms are also the normal ones, and not the actual ones as worn by players during matches.

chcher is right, R1 may have the nameset for Zidane 10, pop over and enquire.

@beckzaidan - glad you settled your dispute with the seller, won't want this bad experience to put you off from pursuing the best hobby ever!
