also, if you think its best for you, try to opt for the USPS Express Mail International service (the EMS).. good tracking system, and wil be handled by PosLaju once it arrived in M'sia.. took exactly 1 week for my item to arrive in my hands

not sure about Priority mail though.. but make sure u have the tracking number, should be 13-alphanumericals.. e.g. EN-123456789-US

PayPal is a mixed bag.. so far i have no problems with it, but i have a friend who's in UK and apparently he lost GBP600 due to a hacker attack on his PayPal account

AFAIK, no Malaysians kena yet..

Curently im searching for LV wallet on the net... Browse through EBay and alot of seller is from US... Is there any other website which i can get a LV wallet at cheaper price compare at msia???

Guys,

Anyone know which shop can get the Gundam paint (tamiya or others)
and lining pen + etc??? (paint material)

Cause i went to many shop, most of them mention that cannot import to Malaysia at this moment for all flameable item.... aiks...

Which shop are you going?

I'm from VN. As I said b4, Gundam in VN is terrible lacking. Sometimes I must ship from 1999. There's a lot of old SD that sells on hlj but my country can't reg in paypal . Does anyone know which shop that has restock old SD, shipping worldwide and doesn't require paypal? Thnx .

HLJ accept CC. I brought many item from HLJ using cc. Other site you can try is

http://www.hobbyeasy.com
http://www.luckymodel.com
http://www.hobbiescorner.com
http://www.hwjapan.com

So far for USA or international tracking, I just happened once from me with it (I loss RM 100). As for USA postal services, there are 3 types of shipping and only USPS Priority Mail with the code like CP-9 digit numbers-US (same as Malaysian parcel) and Express Mail International (same as Pos Laju) -EA-9 digit numbers-US contains tracking. USPS also contains Registered letter and that is a cheap way to send out light items if you think that Priority or Express is expensive. Unless you trust the seller a lot, don't use First Class Mail International as it has no tracking (the number they give is just a proof that the item was received at the post office).

Online selling zone that is trustable will be eBay (also got Malaysia version), Lelong Malaysia and Amazon.
eBay Malaysia - www.ebay.com.my
Lelong Malaysia - www.lelong.com.my
Amazon - www.amazon.com / www.amazon.co.uk

try buying from e-toyz...gud service, great response, great price and great item
but they usually have preorder item only with limited availability...
and the gud thing is u can ask them to reorder the item if many people want to order lahhh...
....now i am waiting for my MG sinanju....hehehehehe..............

Hi Guys,

I'm looking at Optimus Prime G1 (classic) in Amazon. Selling at USD 69.95.
Is it expensive? Anywhere in M'sia is selling that?

Not sure if this is helpful, there's a service called vshub, link: www.vshub.com where they ship your items from the US directly to your doorstep. I used them once where I purchase a Garmin nuvi. The thing I like about it; is that I don't have to go KLIA to clear my items or appoint Pos Malaysia as agent to clear them. Pos Malaysia once charge me RM45 for service charge. Heard from my friend in Sg, these sort of service is quite common there.

Anyone here can do paint jobs for miniature figures the likes of kotobukiya mini figures? Anyone? Would like to seek your service. Please PM me.

hi guys, question here, let's say i bulk some toys from Japan, and the customs charge me some import tax. do i need to go all the way to KLIA to clear the custom tax and bring my items home? or is there another way like paying taxes online?

yup you'll need to go all the way to LCCT actually, to clear your stuff

can pay Pos Laju to do it on your behalf right?

Yup, then when you receive your item, you'll have the pay the PosLaju fee and the tax.

Pos Laju charge you Rm45 if i not mistaken, then you have to pay tax as well. You go there yourself, bus RM18 two-way + tax only

Yup! Moreover the customs advice that it's better if you go to the customs and pick the item up yourself. So if you need to pay tax, you can discuss with the customs to lessen the amount of tax you have to pay. There was once when they detain my CDs from Play-Asia, the tax was supposed to be almost RM80 but in the end I only had to pay RM40 ^^

I do most of my gundam buying online.

I usually buy from 2 source :
1. e-bay store : sweefeng (famitoy)
2. Glitz (one of our forumer here)

Both have very cheap (cheaper that rrp) price. Ebay one i find is the cheapest so far. But glitz has more model to offer. Both seller are very friendly. They both are willing to go the extra mile for buyers. Glitz even throw in free shipping.

HLJ and XL-shop price are actually quite high in comparison. R10 also offer quite reasonable / cheap price. But i never buy anything from these stall before, thus disqualifying me from commenting on them.

I'm still looking for a place that i can stock up spray cans. Really hard to find a place that sells enough variety. Time machine at BTS seems to be the best place so far.

But I'm thinking to upgrade to airbrush. It's more economical in the long run. And the paints are much much more easier to find.
