Hi, I'm from Singapore.
Well, last time my friend from malaysia used to play tamiya mini 4wd as well, but he bought from places like toy city, daisheng...
but anyway, I have been reading from the beginning of Version 8 of this forum and I know the only place to play and purchase is at Tamiya One Utama.
But somehow the prices in singapore is still cheaper even after currency convertion...
any idea???

well, according to economic supply and demand theory,

when supply over demand, price drop.

when demand over supply, price increase.

meanwhile, there is other issue like transportation, tax and e.t.c...

but somehow, the price in japan and online shop is still cheaper even after currency convertion compare to sg??

any idea?

that depends la because shipping requires shipping fees, tax and so on...unless we buy in bulk, then it might be cheaper...

Since you understand, so what you tried to ask in previous question? maybe i can try to help...

yes, i know, but online shopping has nothing got to do with my question.
What I asked is both are stores that sells tamiya parts or toys which are imported from japan or philipines, but why the differences in price are so much.
Online shopping is another story which is not a "buy at store" issue.

u want cheap then let me rank

hk cheapest can get car less than 10sgd if buy parts there new pack drop also dont bother to pick up too cheap
japan chaeper
sg cheap
mal just follow toy city pricing example sprint dash toy city rm26.90 tu rm23.00

You seem so clear about it but I heard that toy city doesn't sell tamiya stuff anymore...or it only sells motor?

how much cheaper is the prices in singapore compare to malaysia?

Let me list a few examples, if FRP, it's about RM 1-2 only, for MS gears, around RM 4-5 difference, for those front aluminium rollers is about RM 10-12.
I assumed the currency from SD to RM is around 2.2-2.4 la.

woooowwww.. i ddidnt know that.. maybe i should go there and buy more parts form now on..

have u bought any parts ?

it's just like we got fried chicken in pasar malam and kfc...

but why there are people still choosing kfc while not cheaper pasar malam 1?

some time pasar malam 1 nicer....

hmm i think i should go post at phone forums ask why phones in singapore cheaper than kl..

No la, the purpose is just to understand more about pricing in malaysia as well as the sales.
To lolhalol, if you have a vacation to singapore, then you are pleased to purchase though I'm not promoting, but no need to purposely come to singapore to buy la because coming here is more than the cost you save from buying parts.

then you should ask why hk cheaper than singapore
and why hk can sell cheaper than japan

there is a new track open by the hk local distributer hkd40 for mon to thurs and hkd68 for fri till sat

stargek sg no track only race day

so i think all really depends on the local distributer for pricing so its something like chicken and egg story which comes first why like that why cant be like this

just consider you lucky can get cheaper pricing from your local distributer
so happy racing

so if i understand more about the pricing & sales , i will know how to play tamiya better or what?
