Yea... it should be better to import if not mistaken. Mindstorm I believe will fall into electronic category (hope not)... and isn't that make it more expensive?

i see.
still thinking...
maybe can use this as a reason to go hk/sg for vacation, then hand carry 1 set back? hmm.gif

QUOTE(Chaud @ Jun 11 2013, 10:06 AM)
when comes to import, have to know where to source, coz sometimes import can be more expensive than local retail

this i agree..
but sometimes also depend on luck

QUOTE(hades4eve @ Jun 11 2013, 10:09 AM)
Well, this is the first time I source electronic stuff though... Not sure about which tax category it will fall to for Mindstorm...
Die, I think I fall in love with Lego Winter Village series edi  wub.gif  doh.gif

Yes, up to you to declare anything, just whether our Customs officers believe it or not. Imagine one full TEU container full of firecrackers, declared as wheat flour  whistling.gif

I've done before declaring as computers, for some stuff which contains CPU. I recalled, all go through without problem, even some scrutiny by Customs. Probably those are "cold-door" stuff that they don't even know what it is ...

Lego stated Coming Fall 2013 and will have a suggested retail price of $349.99(USD)

Kastam / Pos Malaysia did a fantastic job!

The story goes like this...

hmm...let's do 'praise the kastam/pos malaysia' story today
since Caryane started it yesterday, let me start 1 today.

you know when you buy those lego parts from BL, then kastam ppl wont know what is inside?
cos it sound like breaking parts, then the edge poking around, yet feel so hard/solid, sounds suspicious?
is it some broken glass? fragile stuff? banned item?

so mostly they will poke a hole, in my case below, they tear up the envelope and see what's in side

lucky for me this time:
reason #1 seller use those bubble wrap envelope thing, so everything is intact

reason #2 kastam/pos malaysia actually wrap another 'cling wrap' thing around the envelope (sort of water resistant now... lol)
Thanks kastam/pos malaysia thumbup.gif

Wow, yours is bad. Pg Customs more poky ? So far all the envelopes I received are sealed without holes.
Doesn't look like Customs have opened before. Or even if they open, they use masking tape seal back properly (really properly). I recall Customs will use their own masking tape with like "diperiksa oleh kastam diraja m'sia" or something like that.

Ok lah, maybe I buy chicken-feed parts only  blush.gif
*
not sure... since it's parts and everything inside is fine.

but i think this one is checked by the main Kastam in KL (or is it Sepang?)
it got the chop/stamp "dilepaskan" or "diluluskan" behind.

from the tracking, it has reached KL last week, then use the snail mail method to reach Penang..
then only reach my house via post man yesterday.

if use box method, then will have the kastam diraja tape thing (the outer box 100% kemek, inside item depends on luck)
if use the envelope method, my experience will be like above (if got small lego boxed set inside, 100% kemek also)

but i'm ok with the box kemek thing, even my stuff from amazon (non lego stuff) using DHL also 50-80% kemek (but book/box inside is safe)

I am SUPER FURIOUS  today and i think i can slap Superman really hard that his gender will change and turn into wonder woman  vmad.gif  vmad.gif

this is the first time i receive parcel that look like something or someone was humping it 

don't be surprise if u click the spoiler below

i really dont have mood to open it and check if something is missing. Definitely got something missing with box open like that!
*
not finger pointing... but i suspect ur box was the bottom on the floor then they stack some heavy on top (say 4-6 box of 10kg stuff each?)
then when it come to kastam, they will still check again n pass to pos malaysia (where u get the tape thing)
but sometime kastam might forget to stamp the thing n just tape it using pos malaysia tape thing.

so u manage to check thru everything?
