My friend's birthday is coming up, and I thought of giving her something she likes a lot... So far as I know, the animes she watches and likes are FMA, Gravitation, and the Gundam series.
Friend or Girlfriend?
I have a few more questions to ask:
1. Are in-box items rarer and priceier than those that come in plastic packages?
All pre-painted figures usually come in boxes. Only gashapons or trading figures sometimes come in plastic packages. If you find any pre-painted figure in plastic-bags, dont buy ~ imitation ones. Rare items are very hard to find in Malaysia and will cost you a bomb to buy it2. How does the pre-ordering fashion go about?
you can get it cheaper if you pre-order. If there's stock, does it mean that the price of the item would be the same as pre-order price?Nope. Stocks will be sold at current market price. BTW, when is your friends b'day? You will have to wait at least 1-3 months for pre-order items. Pre-order is like booking an item before it's officially launched. At this time no fixed price for the item yet, so the supplier will just give a rough estimate on the price based on the Yen(Japan Currency). 3. What shops you guys recommend I should take a visit?
If you aiming for pre-painted figurines. I would suggest you go to XL-shop. Although a bit expensive, but they got a wide range of selections there. Diamond Comic at BB Plaza also got some but be ready for their not so nice attitude4. How do I get to BB Plaza? (Yeah, I know this sounds stupid, but I don't go to KL often ) Any easy routes on how to get there?
Depends where are you from and what transport are you taking. It will be easier if you can inform us about that firstBTW heres some guide for you
XL-SHOP Just click on the branch to view how to get there maps
Diamond ComicsAnimetech Becareful of this shop as they also sell imitation goods. Their price is also quite high
These 3 shops are the ones I frequently visit to get my stocks. The one in Low Yat ~ I havent been there yat so far
Just visit the links I provided, browse through their products and you'll find what you want to get for your friend
