they didnt give receipt ....

These are my experience
while hunting for gundams...i went to these shops ...

DC (sg wang)
- looks nice from outside, i though i saw toys heaven . Proceed enter the shop, wow, first impression. Messy! directly there are a bunch of gundam boxes blocking the door when i tried to enter. The shopkeeper ignored me because talking with someone. Then i enquire for some models, instead of the elder one , the younger kid attended to my enquiries, he told me here no sell this model.
Then i asked for keroro models. He asked me "Keroro...?", asked twice as if the spelling is incorrect , thinking i've found it..then he told "No we don't sell keroro here"
Price wise is above average. No purchase from here. Noticed they sell alot of chogokins from the outside shelf
Rating 4/10

XL (time square)
- ok, looked long for this shop, their website is pretty cool to check the price before buying. Nice service, i was greeted the moment i entered the shop, asked for some models and tada, immedietly in front of me.. and the price is good (well at least for the item i was finding) , not to mention the hawt sales girl . Apart from the irregular price margins, the point system is very good marketing plan as it isn't offered in most toy shop, too bad it is very steep to collect for low end collectors. Variety and service is the key here.

Er..Toy shop in lowyat (forgotten the name again 1st floor)
- looks like a shop specially for gundam, a big portion of the shop are for gundam models. The uncle on the counter did not show friendly face at first. But i was standing there over 1 hour asked alot of question and the uncle didn't get annoyed yet . What is great about this shop is, gundam bargains are available most of the time. The uncle would display 2-3 gundam with special price tag on it. Often the bargain price is really reasonable but the quantity available is very low. I had snatched a zeta v2 before and it comes with a model cutter too . Overall great price for majority of the gundams, if you're a MG hunter this place is highly recommended.
8/10

GT (time square)
- I had entered this shop once before, the overall impression they gave me, is rather spooky.. I entered the shop to find for gundams, which is located at the back end of the shop. I was standing and looking for quite some time but could not make up my mind (as the price is not as attractive). So i decided to stop checking out here and move on next shop. Little did i expect, the shopkeeper was peeking on me from the front of the shop all the time man, that gives me the creep
- Second time i came, hoping to find better price. Wow this time i was greeted by a tall man. I asked for gundams and he showed me the way. And another wow, the price was terrific, apparently it was some kind of new pricing scheme for that period. I also asked how long will this promotion will last, but he replied with "We intend to sell at this price permanently " . However i got the news later days that the price was too good that other shops complained, well back to old prices should've snatched more

guys found a new collectibles shop open recently
online base i think

www.e-toyz.com

wah, they are so secretive bout their price

i think they dowan customers to login see price and log out kua....

really, never heard of that shop before..will check it out
the one im referring is at 1st floor


www.e-toyz.com
whats with this site? is it still under maintenance? looks like the product range too equally distributed between brands
where is the shop located?

lolz...

u made me
explain please

lolz means i got the same feeling like u, when i 1st time enter the site... it looks incomplete.. coz the price unavailable very confusing.... right?

GT & TQ2 is in fact not selling at the price which is almost same as Yen convert to RM now
but their price is still cheaper than other shops

Previously I never want to buy things from these 2 shops because of the expensive price
Now seems like they are lower the price of many toys & match other toy shops

Back to the man topic:
As I've mentioned before in this thread
DC gave me 3 times of unpleasant experience

Here are my experiences -
1) I saw they have NECA Gremlins selling, so I went to their BTS branch & buy 1 from them. I request them to bring the toy down and want to have a look at it. The boss (yes, the boss himself) said: "You want to look at it then you've to pay first". I don't feel very offense that time because I already decided to buy it

2) Saw a Gundam I want in their eBay auction. I went to their BB shops during lunch & want to get that Gundam to cut the fuss of bid it & wait for the shipment. When I saw that Gundam & the price is higher than the one in eBay. So I asked why it's selling at higher price & whether I can get the price I saw in eBay, the boss (yes, same guy again) said in impatient tone: "That's the price in eBay. If you want to buy at that price then go bid in eBay lah !!" This time I feel a bit pissed already.

3) One day, I went to the BB main branch again during lunch with my colleagues. I saw a toy place on the counter & then I just take it to have a look. The boss (3rd time again) was talking to a customer at that time. After he finished talking he just take the toy in my hand back without asking me & with the look of "don't want to buy then don't touch it".

After the 3rd experience, I swear I never step into their shop anymore & buy things from DC. I would rather to spend more money to get what I want. Luckily I found out GT & TQ2 selling cheaper Gundam kits now

teh thing about DC is that their customer service is teh worst. not 'bad', but 'worst'. if there is only 1 reason to go there, its to compare prices...

wat i do is this, go in, check price, if low, buy, if not, walk out. dont ask anything, dont say anything, dont breathe on anything.

XL is good, but another good shop is the one is lowyat. the old dude there is friendly, and i bought a few figures before

if dun say anything....how u gonna chk the price if the price is not shown?
