Hmmm... I seem to be late in this game. Do you know where can I source for AA or Kyosho around Klang Valley? I've tried scanning thru the thread but it's a bit overwhelming for me. I heard Nikko is no longer in business? Thx.

QUOTE(geeamino @ Mar 28 2011, 08:09 PM) aquila: Welcome bro. You can find for Kyosho from Toycity but I would advice(I'm pretty all of us would advice) you to get models from ebay or even get it from LYN members. You can check out Masterloada's online shop, Diecast Empire. Some great models for sale there. But I'm sure there are other great seller here as well that people will recommend base on their experience in dealing with them. Thx for the pointers. So try to stay away from retail shop selling diecast. They tend to cost around 30% - 50% more than online shops or even ebay. Hope this helps.  Yup, did dropped by Toycity and found their prices a bit steep. Added on March 29, 2011, 12:39 pm QUOTE(kennt0312 @ Mar 28 2011, 10:04 PM) you can get from masterlaoda or juzz4carz, if you from puchong area you can get from juzz4carz so that can CoD with him, he is a very friendly guy & let you to open your item to check, even the opening parts. Thx for the info. For a moment, I tot the mentioned names were shops  while masterlaoda i not sure where's the location, mont kiara right? most of time just deal by postage, sometime he will just open stall at amcorp mall & you can meet him there too if you wanna buy something from him.  No worries. I will try looking them up. Cheers.This post has been edited by aquila_te: Mar 29 2011, 12:39 PM |

Thx Ikwanz and geeamino for the infos. I've checked those two together and it seems the resin tend to be more expensive than the metal ones.
I was about to ask about the wax the next question and Sauron telepathically answered that too  |

QUOTE(edwardc @ Apr 5 2011, 12:49 PM) Built in a transformer in it. Now I can turn it on forever. Who needs battery? Haha Nice. Give me idea for my future display cabinet. Btw, where did you get the garage hoist and the revolving platform? I'm probably going to be wearing the question cap for the time being. All 4 LED lights are installed. Got people jealous or not?  Still got a lot to add/decorate the inner of the cabinet. |

QUOTE(edwardc @ Apr 5 2011, 06:56 PM) Aha. The garage hoist is actually Hotworks one. But the problem now is, it has been discountinued for some time already. Found two shops that still have it as display unit but 1 shop already said it is not for sell before I ask. Another one I had to beg and nego only he let go. hahaha Ok. Looks like I've to rely on those oveseas' hobby shop for those garage sets The revolving platform is from Hotworks too. You can get from Masterlaoda here. Har what question cap? Still in the progress. haha After everything done you lagi jealous. Hoho. You finally got one of this!  I saw one posting about the GMP garage sets but unfortunately, not sure whether they are restructuring their websites or went bust. I didn't see(or didn't dig enuff) Masterlaoda's website about the revolving platform but thxx for the pointers. Question cap or hat. I will be shooting lots of questions since I'm still a noob in this area. I've been randomly looking thru the various posting on this thread and boy, it's a lot! |
