Personally I never had as much trouble at either DC or XL... i usually yoyo between these two shops and sometimes some toy shops in pj. But lately i find XL has been marking up quite a lot compared to the other toy shops around kl/pj, what do you guys think? i chatted with sam@bts abt it and he just smiled and shrugged... wtf lol?

ah abt tht fat ass, i tink you need to get on his good side... i dunno how tho. i've been buying from him for years and he does give quite a big personal discounts to frequent customers... i've got some from time to time...

sam@bts is a nice guy... too bad he has not much of a say, just a worker at the shop...

p/s: even if you guys don't buy from DC, you're still indirectly buying from them. they have quite a large toy distro network i heard =P

well yeah... it could be a "mark up - mark down - compared to" case scenario here... i AM, afterall, comparing based on the prices amongst all the toy store that i frequent in kl/pj...

just wondering, if xl brings in a big single bulk of items compared to the other small toyshops around town, why is it more expensive? does not bulk = split shipping cost amongst figures, hence, cheaper figures? or the customs are being tards again, demanding $$$ to release the shipment since xl brings in quite a lot of items? or is uncle loong paying for a secure line through customs?

so many questions, so many guesses... doubt it will be answered =)
