Not sure if I've posted this before;

New sightings;
ALI BBP - restocked A. Iniesta 6, Xavi 8, Torres 9 (Spain), Schweinsteiger 7 (Ger). Also restocked champs patch 0910, champs patch 1011, normal patch 0710 (EPL)

Mines Shopping Centre Nike
Croatia Home 08/10, Thailand Away 2009, Malaysia Away 2009, Turkey Home 08/10, Holland Away 08/10 - RM77.70, sizes L and above.

Yes 0306 would be the correct one, as the shirt is 0506.

Sorry mate, I think they did use brown/gold nn-s as well. 0809 season IINM.

This shirt was first launched 0708 and was used intermittently in 0708, 0809 and even 0910. For 0708 and 0910, it's blue, while for 0809 it's brown/gold (away nn for that season). Hope that's helpful.

Once you select your address, the site will automatically recalculate it for you, no need to do your own maths la. Generally VAT in the UK is 13.05% IINM.

in this case, you should've mailed them first to enquire if whether are they ok with deducting VAT from your purchase since you are non-EU. Some websites are not equipped with auto deduct, but AFAIK, both Subside and Kitbag websites have the auto-deduct mechanism.

maybe what you can do now is still email them, and ask them to deduct VAT off and refund via Paypal. some stores may not entertain this request though, so a bit of a 50-50 risk there that you may not get your refund.

New kits @ ALI BBP;

Inter Home
Juve Home
Barcelona Away
Arsenal Home

And....in conjunction with Mega Sales, most new products will have 10% off!

@fas29 - milan kits, check at Adidas Pavilion, etc. ALI BBP did not receive their stocks yet.

@afiqkhairi - do call them up to enquire mate.

@ghoster

I thought I did post it up here previously, that Adidas Pavilion already has the new Bayern home and Milan home in store already.

Gentle reminder pls state all links in your signature, if not your post may be deemed as advertising/blog-promoting/etc. Thanks.

Added on July 28, 2010, 11:27 amthis was the case of the guide issued by suppliers on the placement of the patches to not have the crown of the lion touch the rubber strips. i think was brought up couple of pages back. some collectors here did their own placement in the middle of the strip, while some opted for middle of sleeves. better to wait until season starts proper.

Malaysia PI, you can go 1 to 2 sizes up i.e. if you are a replica M, you can go for PI L or XL. but that also depends on the 'cut' you want, some ppl are not used to too tight fitting thus may go 2-3 sizes up.

My experience is that I've got the replica M which was a bit too loose, and I got the PI L which is just nice.

That's the Special Edition Brazilian kit. Currently, only available in the US (via Nike online store).

No, you have to select Express Delivery to get UPS. Standard Delivery would be Royal Mail International i.e. registered post.

Although, there will be cases whereby if the value of the goods or the weight of the goods is too high, they will automatically go to Express Delivery. Not really sure of the threshold though.

Yes SportsDirect is well-known for cheaper than retail kits, new ones are like between GBP5 - GBP10 off from the other retail stores like Nike and Adidas. Def worth a visit whenever you are in the UK.

chuan88, tell me how many pieces (pairs) and your budget. I think can still source for replica-sized ones, I will check it out for you.

@bkfeng89

Your question is answered in your separate thread. Once you have obtained sufficient answers I will close that thread later. Thanks.

@chuan88

I'll get back to you on the price and quantity, no problem.

@beandy

you have to be a bit more specific on the WC Adidas kits, as most of them may have different 'Made In' countries. Not a fixed rule that genuine replicas MUST be made in China etc etc. however, do read up the info in this forum to learn more on how to differentiate fakes from genuine replicas, as there are much more factors to look at. Thank you.

@aceshadowfax

i think most of them encountered problems with the printing, of which clear pics were posted here for all to see.

@jason07

try reironing the strip, over a piece of cloth. failing which, you can try to reapply some fabric glue on the bottom of the strip, and reironing, again over a piece of cloth.

i'd love to recommend one, but have not used one to fix jerseys as yet. maybe someone else can help?

alternatively, take a look around ACE Hardware, etc etc, spoilt for choice really. can also get a bottle of Dylon's there as well.

Current problem is that the Milan kits are without personalisation unlike the Italian site which allows for nameset personalisation, as well as patches. Hope they'll get this option ready for the new site too!

However, they do have the home ls for sale, without the UCL and BOH 7 (i.e. non UCL version) which is quite a rarity as well.

@kenishi

try re-ironing the shirt inside out at the sponsor area with low to medium heat (max 2 dots) and see if it gets better. to be safe, place a piece of handkerchief/cloth over the area to avoid overheating.

cracking can be avoided if you don't hang the kit out to dry under direct sunlight. also, try to handwash your kits instead of machine wash, and also avoid over-washing.

good luck.
