Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody would like to hear a story about what I call "a friend from hell".

I came to knew this figure shop at my state about two years ago, and quickly the owner and I became friends. We sometimes hangout, have dinner and once I even hung out at this shop to do a custom paint job on my 1/6 figure from 9 p.m to 7 a.m the next morning! I bought some Hot Toys stuff from him plus some other figures. We always chatted about Hot Toys, figures in general and even lessons in life! So as you'd expect, our friendship seemed great!

Few weeks ago he told me that the Play Arts Kai Metal Gear Solid (Snake & Ninja) and Batman: Arkham Asylum (Batman & Joker) figures would arrive simultaneously. I was exited as I was really looking forward to those. So I confirmed the matter with him last week and he said will will arrive "next Wednesday" (which was last Wednesday by the way) so I started saving up.

Now I know when people give ETA of products you can't expect a 100% certainty, that's just the way of life. So on Wednesday turns out only the Joker had arrived, and Snake, ninja and Batman haven't arrived yet and he told me he can't givea specific date. So asked him to reserve the Joker for me until the others arrive (although MGS is a higher priority to me). He was cool about reserving the Joker.

So today is Saturday and I called him on the status of the items and he told me Batman has been sold off already at his shop and now awaiting the "armored" version which I'm not interested in. He also told me the MGS figures will only arrive in June. Shocking, I know but here's the REAL shocker:

He asked me when am I going to pickup the Joker figure that he reserved so I asked him again the ETA for (Normal version) Batman and he said he has no idea because it''s out of his control, & suddenly got angry and lashed out at me because he said I didn't answer him on when will I be picking up the Joker. I told him that I only wanted in a set, and he lashed out: "Do you expect me to reserve all your figures then only sell to you?!" I was shocked at his tone. I told him what's the point of getting the Joker when I have no idea when Batman will arrive when he clearly SMS me both figures will arrive next week? My intention was to buy the figures as a set but instead he kept on yelling at me.

He got so angry and cursed 4 letter words at me, accusing me of "abusing the friendship". I asked him what's wrong with him and he cursed me further. I reminded him that we are friends first and foremost and I honestly have nothing ill against him & told him he should cool off but he hung up on me.

So that's what happened few hours ago. I got cursed for practicing my consumer rights. But what I regret most is that I lost a dear friend. Even if he apologizes (which I doubt), I don't think I could ever trust the guy as a friend.

Which comes to my question: Who are the best Hot Toys or collectibles sellers on Lowyat because it seem this is the only place I can rely on (aside eBay) as my state does not have any other figure shop. My apologies if my post was overly long. Peace guys!

Anything less than RM500 shouldn't really have any problem passing through.

But if really unlucky, you will kena our "bolehland tax." Not too sure what explanation to offer since never kena tax for anything below RM500.
Good luck.

Hi guys, want some advise from you. I recently purchase a comander bacara figure from sideshow total cost including freight was USD 153 delivered by Fedex. I was ask to pay rm 82 for tax as kastam somehow mark up my freight as RM433!!! When instead is was only about RM90 charge by sideshow which was in the invoice attach. My question is can they do this and is there a way I can claim this back.

My previous figure purchases was tax as well.

FedEx "masuk poket tax"... Anything below RM500 (CIF) should not be taxed.

Hi all

Has anyone has experience buying from Hobby Network in Penang - www.hobbynw.com?

I can see that they're on Lowyat.net Offical Toy Shops List Around Malaysia but cannot seem to find any review.

Can someone share their experience?

Thanks

Thank you for the reply, but kind of not clear what it means by " masuk pocket tax"? Can I claim back the tax from kastam since I can prove from my credit card statement and invoice that the bill was below 500 (CIF)?

Hi guys! I just passed by timesquare few weeks ago and I saw a replica of One Piece (anime) ships, starting from Going Merry, Thousand Sunny and few other ships.

Does it worth it to get one? I mean for a pure beginner whose hand never touch any hobby-toys like this before? How tough is it to assemble the parts alltogether?

Well...this topic seems to be very old. I'm new at here and I decided to sell some of my favorite toys via COD. Please feel free to contact me to see what kind of toys I had on hand.
