the only reason i buy from xl is because they either bring in things that others dont bring in, or they bring in early... other than that, i dont see anything special with them

and i despise DC. the uncle at bb plaza is lansi motherf****r

hahaha......... nice debate...

i support aunty lenny's shop in sri petaling, endah parade

the reason? first of all the price is cheap... the price is comparable to DC and star dust (which i find is the cheapest). ok, maybe like 5-10 ringgit more... but most of the gundams there are selling for the same price as DC.

but the most important reason is aunty lenny she is a very good business women, and she makes evey customer feel at home. I've been there a couple of times with some friends, and every time we end up chatting wih her. And she gives good information about the modelling industry in japan since she always goes overseas to get stock. She even makes comparisions btw different toy manufacturers in japan, regarding which company makes the best toys, which is the cheapest and such... When asked about gundams, she (and her modelling master) often gives advice...

i still remember the time when i helped my friend to ask about the 1/400 meteor... she immediately advised me not to get that one becoz it's damn small and not worth the price, recommended other models instead.... and to think that she's selling it in her shop!!

when shopping for stuff, the thing that i dont like is that the salesperson doesnt know a thing the stuff he sells. Not with the case here. THis is why i like going to her place, even though i'm not buying anything, she'll still chat with us customers... and allow us to touch the models which are not in the display cabinet.

about XL..... i've never bought stuff from them... so not sure..

DC is the fcuking worst.... when i wanted to buy my old deathscythe... the first stop i went there. when i enquired about older GW models... the auntie there gave me this shit look and pointed a finger to a bunch of models, saying "there... find yourself" WTF and the boss was sitting there smoking like no other's business.... damn with this kind of shit attitude, who cares if your price is low........ you're not the only one selling cheap you know

Stardust is slightly better... although the shopkeepers dont entertain you, at least they answer when asked...


Litt takk.. expensive... same as market price.... but hell lots of models... haha i always go there and look for models, then check the prices else where

Fantasy toys..... expensive...... and the boss is not as amicable as aunty lenny... but at least he answers well too when asked... lots of models and toys on display too... his shop is the best to browse stuff since it's large

conclusion... aunty lenny wins hands down... furthermore it's the nearest to my place in bkt jalil...... so save LRT costs to bkt bintang

since starghazzer recommended Aunty Lenny's shop.... then i think one day i will visit it.... Endah Parade near where ar? haha....

i have been to DC before... same ol' attitude.... macam tak nak layan... i got my red frame at DC times square... very lansi la that fella.... i ask if i can see the inside of the box or not... he said, "you pay then you can see la" .... the box is not sealed and he said that to me...

i went to litt tak (sg wang) the salespersons are friendly but then the price are way too high....

the one beside litt tak (apa nama saya dah lupa), the malay guy there also friendly but then always no stock, especially popular items...

fantasy toy? me and my friend always go there to look at the models... but not buying...

It's a shop called Glory System, on the 3rd floor. You take the bubble lift up and it is on your immediate right. Do contact her first as she normally opens after 4pm. 9543 5066.

I do agree with StarGhazzer that Aunty has one of the nicest personality ever and her prices are reasonable. I chatted with her before, and she thinks of herself as a collector herself and not as a businesswoman who is trying to rip ppl off.

But sadly, she only stocks mostly model kits and TF which is not my kind of thing.

DC is that small shop in the 7th floor of Times square i think
i went to check out the FF7 - cloud fenrir..
the old lady told me it was RM 420
so i didnt buy la and walk to the other shop nearby same floor
and i saw the price is RM 380. so i bought it
next coz i saw the mcfarlane dragon deluxe boxset i want to get and this shop doesn't have it so i went again to DC to buy it
of coz that lady saw that i already bought the cloud + fenrir so she asked me how much i bought it, i said RM380 she was like.. "WHY I SELLING RM 330 u BUY so EXP?"
so i told her.. if RM330 i buy one more from her, then she quickly say those box ppl already ordered (i highly doubt it.. there is around 6-8 box there.. i asked when is she getting more stock.. she said dont know..

TOTALLY NOT HONEST.. what the hell?
the first time i enter shop she told RM420..

but i also get the dragon set from her la.. RM10 cheaper than other shop..
still i dont like the way she LIED.. juz to make you feel bad u know.. yet she's not selling..

That's the owner's mother, I assume. Usually when dealing with something with such a huge amount, they will definitely entertain you and treat you very nice one. Maybe something wrong with her that day and FYI she's not very good with the merchandising prices, so next time try to bargain with her. Not like the owner chances of you getting a cheaper price is 0%.

BTW, to all kids members here, next time when going for some shopping spree at XL, please check the items prices from their website first. Why? One of the Bleach figurines that I bought yesterday cost RM158 on their web, but I was charged RM178 for it. Lucky I went through the receipt and asked them to check the price again.

yeah. great guys in UT, real friendly. the problem is their irregular opening hours but it's becoz they actually hold full time jobs. Kavin is an engineer with some telco related company and sometimes kesian see him at the shop look like damn tired . Jeremy, not really sure working as what.

ToyWiz - Steve and his brother also not bad. very friendly and when you pre-order don't need to put deposit. Don't really like the gal there though (now don't see her already).

FT - Owner seldom talk much, but still willing to answer my questions with broken english + hokkien + mandarin + cantonese so quite impressed coz he's willing to entertain me despite language barrier and i didn't buy anything..

GT - Don't really get a good vibe when i go to this shop. Don't really know why though.

You can contact Aunty Lenny at 019-3753331.

I alos like to shop from her as the price are reasonble & sometime they have stuff that other shop don't sell. She some time will go oversea to buy new stock.

The main reason that I like to go there is because she really friendly & honest. She sometime will recomend thing for us that suit our hobby.

Thanks! This shop has many good feeback...

I am not sure this Aunty Lenny can deliver toy or not . :S

ask her to go online and join lowyat forum lor. surely her business will be good since everyone here recommended her.

anyone know any online toy store in hong kong?

i agree.... she'll sure get loads of business here since she has one of the lowest prices around, and she's such a sweet talker... can persuade people to buy more accessories

maybe will suggest to her when i go back to bkt jalil

no answer?

Got.

Haa haa haa!!! I agree with you all as I also like buy from her shop. She really a nice business women. BTW, may be we should help her to design a website so that more people will know her shop & what she have in her shop.

Any one want to join me to design a website for her? I'm serious here as I want to improve my web design.

BTW, where you stay? I'm staying in balakong.

Maybe can ask her to open a thread in garage sale

the price is kinda sky high.... all in USD... keke

thanks.

U mean the same Endah Parade beside the Kesas highway wan ar ?
The one inside look like dead ghost town wan ???
The one with the carrefour inside wan ???

Hehehe...cool...I always hang around there wan hehehe
Wanna ask they do stock up alot of Gundam stuff or not ?

DC got such reputation already ar ? heheh i tot i was the only one. But id o find the aunty there quite friendly. My first time i went there, (times square wan) the aunty was ther with a kid and nobody else around. So stood there and look for the stuff lor and she was kind enough to allow me to check the kits out myself. She even opened a Freedom Gundam & G Gundam MG kit for me to see inside...but i didn't buy. But i did got my sista to get the V2.0 Zeta from there...the guy sounded helpful even to the extent of counting the Zeta's fingers and describing it's design through the phone. I was very happy with that...until i met Mr.FATA55 in BB plaza. Sudahlah shop small, I want to see also hard...ask assistance and he look like a guy with down's syndrome...yeah i think he has it. Smoking all the way pretend like nobody in the shop...stinx. Then i asked about the magazine with an attached box, he said "its a toy". So i wanted to buy Nemo...asked him can i have a look...he said NO. U must buy then can look. Wah piang...tot buying something more pricey since the aunty so good,after see that guy's face...Nemo is the last la...then nomore la. niway give the anuthy face la and i buy the nemo.

Then this guy entered, asked about some stuff, that guy said priced at 240 something. So this guy said nevermind la come back later when its cheaper, then the fata55 said i'm hiking the price already, u want buy now. I tot to myself, damn, this guy is friendly...throughout my time there, i think he said less than 50 words. I think i said more because I'm asking questions.

Think i wont go to the BB plaza anymore la...waste time see MR.LARDBOTTOM.

XL, got lotsa stuff and only a bit pricey than DC. 5 bux or so...Go BB I need monorail which cost me 4bux plus toll and petrol...wah piang. Some more XL sometimes got pretty gals following u around... DC got Fatass siting there thinking u wanna steal something or wat...duh. At least got pretty gals there nevermind the snobbish behaviour lar...
