Above RM500 will kena tangkap for high value goods. They'll tax you, which is (i think) 5% of your total purchase, plus shipping.
Normally, underdeclaring will solve this, but they'll still stop your box if it looks suspicious (e.g. huge box).
amiami,, HS and HLJ will not underdeclare their shipments so you just need to make sure you never ship anything more than Rm500 (with shipping cost) at any one time.
I think slightly over RM500 SOMETIMES will get through (personal experience), but better safe than sorry eh?

Added on May 10, 2011, 8:09 pmaaaaannd you need to visit them to pick up your package. Can assign poslaju to pickup for you, but they will add their charges as well.
^I think some sort of "how to avoid kastam and what to do when kastam take your package" guide should be sticky'd somewhere lol, I recall panicking when I got something stuck at kastam the first time.. lol one more edddiiit Nendo game trailer. <3

golden rule of thumb. never order more than 12k yen of goods including shipping.
my friend ordered 2 nanoha figure that cost around RM400 each, one for me and one for himself, hope wont kena kastam
will my nendo colour fade after some time if i display in it my room without glass cover? let's say there is a glass window without tint and moderate sunlight in the room, and the place i can display my nendo is under the window
Noticed someone's thread selling Ori and Non-Orginal Nendos at the Hobbies & Collectibles place .. price difference is so big !! The bootleg/pirated version were selling at RM40 each and there were quite a few nendos there.
How to tell the difference between original and bootleg/pirated? And also.. Nendoroid and Nendoroid-Petite, are they different in size? Petite is fixed,as in can't have different pose/expressions?
biggest difference is the price, bootleg can go up to 2 or 3 times cheaper than genuine one
genuine nendo got good quality, you wont see all the lining produce by the machine (dont know what they call), and genuine nendo dont come with glossy finished that make it look like plastic
