DC
Yea  thumbup.gif  The Worst PR Retailler! Boss & staffs are dam "dog" eye! LCLY! Assume that i have no other choice but have to bet him sell me the toys.... Stare at customer like 1 kind.... Had bad experience with them... will never ever buy or visit this shop!  vmad.gif

XL
Good customer service, lots of Gashapon & myth cloths, price ok, nice showcase! Prefer to shop for gashapon and myth cloths series from this place~  thumbup.gif

UltimateToys
Bought some stuff from them when they open the 1st shop in amcorp mall, after that, never go back coz not much toys for gundam, transformers and other japanese toys.... pricing ok, nice showcase, staff are friendly!

Grafitti/Toy Quest
Good customer service, lots of variety, price ok, negotiable~ & sometimes got clearance stuff from japan! Nice showcase as well! Toys been kept nicely! MISB C10 conditions! Will sms u for latest toys arriving at their shop, my regular place to hunt for my favourite toys~  thumbup.gif

Time Machine
Customer service so so... pricing are a bit higher than the rest... the shop is really "cool"~

Toy Wiz
Oso bought some toys from them before... friendly services, sms u for the latest toys info at their shop, pricing is a bit higher than most KL retailler...

Star Dust Memory
Exactly like the name, toys cover with dust... the staff always watching anime... dun bother to do business... heard it is one of DC outlet...  shakehead.gif

Lit Tak Hobby Shop
A great place to hunt for Gundams! Pricing not much different from major departmental store.... maybe they have to protect them~ nice showcase! Lots of assembled Gundams model! Impressive!  thumbup.gif

Fantasy Hobby
Used to buy action figure from them, hard to bargain, even the price is 20% higher than others, they wont discount a single cent to u... toys been kept nicely, MISB C9-C10 conditions! Have a nice showcase too~  wink.gif

I would like to point out that UT may have good PR but their opening times are simply too irregular. The best example is the one in 1U. 90% of the time you go there, the shop is either closed or they block the entrance with this huge standee of Legolas. This really discourages potential shoppers who may find something that they may want. But Zaffri [don't know the correct spelling] is the man there, good PR. thumbup.gif

One con of GT/TQ is that they sell fake figures. This totally mislead ppl who are not so into toy collecting, as I saw one kuai lo buying a whole lot of fake Koto SW once. They get hooked instantly when they see a buy one free one thinking it is a great deal. I was disgusted to see this scenario acting out. I'm sure ppl can point out many more fake toys in the store but the prices are not too great also. smile.gif

The infamous DC of course has the terrible bad PR boss, PMS looking wife and the bald kid. Scalpers with the capital S. Enough said. The friendliest dude is Jason from DC on the 7th Floor in BTS. Don't think he is there anymore though.

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. sad.gif

She's Auntie Lenny and not Lee. sweat.gif

Here are some simple directions to get there. Let's say you take Kesas from Summit. Keep straight, pass the first toll, the 2nd toll. After the 2nd toll, skip the first two turns on your left.

At the 3rd exit, take it. You'll see a traffic light, turn left. You'll see another traffic light, turn right. You will now be able to see Endah Parade on your right.

To get there, go all the way straight, you'll meet another traffic light, make a U-turn. Keep to the left and you'll see the parking sign into Endah Parade.

Once you're in the complex, take the 'bubble' lift up to the 3rd floor. On your immediate right, you'll see Glory System Enterprise. Woila, you're there.

Hope that was simple enough. wink.gif

It's silhouette btw.

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. laugh.gif

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

The ah pek's shop is a scalper in certain items. If he knows that a figure/toy is in high demand, the price will be through the sky.
