Same with Brunei too. usually at the custom post office. They usually ok with it but the looks & and sometimes will make a bog scene out of it so everyone can hear " YOU PLAY DOLLS????"

Still over here in Middle east- I still do not dare to order or bring in those extreme sexy Figures( Almost naked type).

anyone here willing to let go their sideshow batman pf?

Finally display it

I think batgirl is the best of the females followed by power girl,
catwoman and then emma.



GG still have some surprises in them, with their facial reproduction dept. This is nice! Malaysia needs a GG distributor

Nice catch ... congratulations. Hope malaysia kastam never give problem when bring back

I thought Shiok brings gentle giant in, last time they were selling baby doll.

Ebay msia got

Maybe baby doll fiasco spoilt the business relationship

RM 2280.00 that one? daym wat a scalper.

That's the market for ya.

We have many weeks / months to think about pre-ordering locally and when finally look for it, its secondary market or pay shipping.

Anyway batman pf still available from sideshow at retail, plus shipping is about RM1700. But with kastam risk

i found a seller from US,hopefully he can adjust the price on the invoice for me lol.

You going to try change price to below RM500?

These days, kastam are smart, they see the box and compare with price, if they dont believe they ask for transaction proof, not only hardcopy printout but they even ask to show the transaction on their pc in case people fake the hardcopy !!

I saw the batman box and its super huge, like 4ft tall

nah, just mark down the price a little bit. still going to pay the tax but wont let them suck my money too much. btw, that's around the size of a mini fridge! daym.

is it better to purchase more than RM 1k items through local shops to avoid the hassle of custom?

It all depends on how much patience, risk and savings you are getting at the end if importing.

Not about the value or size sometimes, its all luck

regarding to Sideshow products
my opinion is no point getting from oversea/sideshow website UNLESS u want exclusive edition..
sideshow website selling price + exchange rate = local price (excluding shipping and tax)
so not worth get from oversea..

I would say it depends on what SS statues you getting at.

Those already sold out from Sideshow or local shops, and you want it so badly...no choice but to get from oversea.
So far my Black cat PF (fr Philippines), Mythos Darth Maul (fr S'pore) , Shaak Ti PF (fr Australia) , DC Wonder Woman vs Ares (fr Italy)etc... all no kena duty.
Only HCG Cybercop and Spidy mini bust (fr USA) kena 10% tax when POS Malaysia called and asked about the content, I said "TOYS".

Post using EMS, USPS Priority Mail International.... damn sure it will held by custom and have duty; By FedEx or DHL, less hassle from custom, sometimes don't even have to pay duty**, but require certain luck & alternation on item value

Still, I've to agree with Hiroka San, unless getting ex version, better buy from local shops if statues still on sale.

My opinion is better get Ex than Reg if possible.

Using express service or courier service seems to be less chance of kastam maybe due to speed /timing of service to doorstep. But if kena held up, at least you don't have to go kastam to self collect, as deliver to doorstep (pay duty cod)

Its a nice feeling to escape kastam haha

If I'm in the USA, definitely getting everything as exclusive. But even them, getting regular from local shops also cheaper than retail. So excl is more ex than regular

anyone use Speedpost singapore before? lucky I found batman pf still in stock at simplytoys , ordered frm them but still on the fence to choose speedpost of fedex .
