at 900++ chances are yes, very very high chance

not available at local store or figure seller ?

use bank lah bro.. damn dangerous if you poslju the money. delivery guy may steal it..

Use bank how?

transfer the money through bank, bro.. If you want you can pm me. I'll be glad to help..

I checked a lot already, all the stores that stock Sideshow figures don't have it already.

However I was able to find a Singapore seller, if I get them to send it to me, can escape kastam?

From my experience buying form HLJ.com and Hobby Search, Hobby Search has lower retail price (discounted) for most of the item but has higher shipping cost (EMS)(most of the time) due to the pre-calculated shipping cost system.

Another thing is Hobby Search has this loyalty program (point reward) which is a good thing if u r planning to be their loyal customer.

Item shipping packing is almost the same for me so far for both -they did a great job.

if they can declare a lower value then maybe yes, for EMS the max is RM500 but do bear in mind lowering the value would also mean the insurance for your parcel is lower, well this is just in case anything happen

I normally order my rc toys from china and if you ship using fedex they ort out the tax at customs and is included in price.

SAL with tracking number is expensive bro, comparable with EMS.. if the quantity is small i'd suggest using EMS instead..

this is my 1st online purchase, i remember there's only 2 choices, SAL or EMS
Never thought it turn out this expensive.
Lucky i got the kit at discounted price, HLJ sales

Lesson learned

WTA:

When you go SG to buy toys/models, Custom got tax ar?

Or I must dispose the packaging beforehand and say they are gifts?

so..... anyone buying from HLJ? there's a sales now though.....
if can i want tumpang cauz no credit card XD
of cauz i'll bank in the delivery fees

= ="
i just placed my order last week
and they already shipped out on 13jun

Added on June 15, 2009, 3:20 ambro....he bought the item is big
unable to fit in the SAL small packet box
the size is something size like this 1
http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN952373

but....his order is 2 boxes of this kind of size, weight including the boxes is 2kg and below
i kena such case also....the shipping fees is 3600yen for SAL parcel but they invoice me is 2900yen only
luckily...

for this situation you suggest use EMS would be more cheaper ?

TS....hope this can be added in 1st for reference use
Some company like HLJ are following the rate of the JP Post without additional handling charge

SAL Small Packet Rate
SAL Small Pac

SAL Parcel Rate
SAL Parcel

EMS Rate
EMS

hobby search just suspending transactions via PayPal after they announce to accept it one month ago...maybe because of paypal frequently holding the funds transfer and limit the user account without any reason...i wonder will hobby search accept debit card?

im curious to know also
HLJ accept debit card ???
