luck you la
judge-the.. its good to have someone abroad that can get a lot of those cool toys for you...
i regret not getting a lot of toys when i was there...
now i wish i have someone in Japan that can help me getting those model-kits at a much cheaper price...

this is a quotation i got from an online Japan retailer...
for a Gunze-Sanyo Mr Linear Airbrush set (regulator, compressor & handpiece)
Delivery method & cost(estimated):
A) SAL - 4300yen
AIR - 5700yen
C) EMS - 4500yen
---------------Copy & Paste End-----------------
A) SAL usually takes 2-6 weeks. (Not insured)
AIR takes 1-2 weeks. (Not insured)
C) EMS takes around 5 days.(Insured, Restricted delivery, Tracking Web i dunno how much all of those item combined weight.. but will that be a possible approximation?
and will there be anymore increase in the cost?
hidden cost maybe?
if everything is ok... i might try to order something from HLJ.com and see how it turn out..

whats the best shipping rate from Japan to here?
thanks..

actually i never met my friend in texas lah. i bought toys from him in ebay about 3 years ago. then he helped me with combine shipping. he will keep all my toys in his home and ships everything back here 1 shot. he already sent all my toys back here more than 5 times.
but my latest package really making me worried with sleepless night. i bought 8 figures 1.5 years ago and he kept them in his home because i cant spend on toys after my wife gave birth to our 1st child. only 2 months ago paid him the shipping cost and he ships them back here. i am still worried who knows what can happened since 1.5 years is damn long so just wait for my package these few days.
already got confirmation from pos msia and settled the kastam tax in ipoh. package should be arriving here in 2-3 days time.
