How to get the metal brackets to support the sides?

Can DIY?

Apparently my contractor called and said check with the furniture person that it can tahan up to 10kg per shelf wor....rather than 2kg as mentioned earlier...

Vampirella, jessica rabbit, neytiri, baroness ?




Maybe hardware stores have?

Oh...one already published before and one yet to be

Here are few pics from simply toys display, they use the same metal brackets, a lot of weight !!

Wow, those brackets look so thin and long but yet so strong

I just found out my parcel was detained by KLIA custom. I dont know whether it has been discussed to death in this thread or not, but the conclusion I got after I called them up is:

- if the parcel is declared as TOY, then the likelyhood of being detained and taxed is high. Should put "STATUE".
- Under-declare the price to less than RM500 (include shipping fee). Even if it is sent as GIFT also no use.
- If Custom ask u what is the price and the invoice, and u answer it is a GIFT from friend (Custom gets the same answer all the time, they also fed up), then they ask u to wait there and there will go to their computer to online (ebay, amazon.....) and check the price, and if unlucky they managed to search the same item but priced at higher price, they will tax u based on what they hav found online.
- tax 10% from item and shipping.

I am going there this afternoon, wish me luck, guys!

Ya, thia kastam topic is very common in collectibles world.

Its not about the price and declaration, sometimes its just plain luck based on company, box size or leechers' mood.

If not mistaken, statues tax is higher than toys, so stick with toys.

Sometimes its better to use courier service as think they bypass kastam faster and bring to front door instead of wasting time and toll/petrol to go all the way to sepang. Its 50/50 chance.

I believe the tax rate for toys and statue are the same. Btw CC, which courier service would u recommend??

Umm , I wonder if I should post this here.
Anyone getting this ?

1/10 too small for me.,.. 1/6 and above should be the way forward ;P

Ringwraith looks good ...

Snow troll too

this one actually looks very anime-like. :T

sad haul of the day:

kena tahan kastam kena tax 30%...
S'more the custom officer on duty knows what the heck is statues so he know the 'appropriate' rate to tax machibek.


saw a sign saying any parcel above RM200 kena tahan, I thought last time RM500..

Any now heres YamatoUSA Fantasy figure Luz Malefic

So statue tax is 30% , that's sick.

Congratulations on the nice hauls. That female stat looks very realistic.

Bought from Japan amiami.com

Shipping 'bout RM200 only.
But the officer refuse to tax based on item value, he tax based on total value wtf.



ugh..
Funniest thing is that somebody was rambling at Kastam today, saying in cantonese "GOVT NO MORE MONEY BY 2019 DATS WHY THEY TAX U KAO KAO!"

Gov has always tax on CIF... Which includes shipping

sigh..
just bad luck I guess.

Last 2 round statues kena tahan just paid RM90 only.

Bro, my statues that I normally from EBAY sure kena tahan. What I normally tell the Kastam is that they are toys/action figure. That way they only tax 10%. I kena once 30% (my very first statue - Koto Danger Room Psylocke), since then I have wised up.

Just declare up front the item is toys/action figure. It's only 10% of the total inclusive of shipping of course.
