both are Bandai la
just p-Bandai means Premium Bandai, just the items sold are premium,
only exclusive to Japan & Hong Kong online customers

of course they provide, cause Bandai is not making a MG Star Build Strike
the only way to get a MG Star Build Strike is to buy MG Build Strike + MG Star Build Booster
it's like MG Victory Gundam + MG Core Booster

Going to pre-order it for my Aile Strike Ver RM

Build Strike MG still in box

i see.... now only i know, huhuhu...
ok bro General_Nic... thanks for the info...

Perks of being a college student still, just got my rm 250 student voucher today went to borders at curve and saw they are selling gunpla there. Picked up Build Strike Mg with my voucher , it may abit overpriced like toysrus price but who cares a good way to spend my voucher and free mini power bank. Fuh now only need to finish my sazabi ver ka before building this guy.

So irresponsible

Well if they sold expensive art pens, you should have got those

just came back from osaka, and managed to get my hands on my first gundam

Congratulations, getting the grand daddy is fitting for your first Gundam

thanks! was itchy to grab the sazabi as it was dirt cheap over there but i was blown away by the ads for this dude

How many gundam can I buy before I will kena Japan or Malaysia Custom, if I were buying gundam back from Japan?

Hiya bosses,

I'm new to Lowyat and want to participate in this forum. Check out my MG Sazabi Ver. Ka, painted.

Next up is Sengoku Musha Gundam, friend has me building it cause he's afraid he will screw up. Hehe..

To wk, idk if I'm quoting correctly. But I honestly don't think there's a very good measuring system for taxing us. A lot of people get through cz they look mean, they simply like to aim for innocent looking kids.

Formally, I think customs can charge if the items total up to RM500 or above. My MG Sazabi and other goodies were caught up at customs and got charged 10%. This is at POS so maybe different story

ur case is by purchasing oversea and post to here? that maybe will have higher chance

i think his case is when we went travel and take back as luggages. i have the same question too actually but asked ppl normally they wont bother u unless they are suspecting ur big box then will request to scan or open it

I actually had both situations.

When coming back from Canada, I had to move all my collectibles in a big box. Obviously they came to me and scanned it, taxed me. However the authorities involved weren't very sure of protocols and simply demanded I pay something as tax. I didn't know the worth of all the collectibles but I low balled the figures and paid it.

It's totally understandable that they would charge us tax for these collectibles, but they don't seem to follow regulations and look more to target young gullible travelers. Many friends I have often don't get targeted because they look more stubborn than me, or I have a very gullible face...

really depends on ur luck. i came back from japan twice with big boxes ie 70cm x 40cm x 30cm size. 1 box at a time. inside each box abt 4-8 gunplas depend MG or RG or PG.

checked in luggage. a little dings but overall content still ok.

1st time : pass through spore customs n msia customs no probs. arrived at 11pm at msia
2nd time : scanned at spore customs n officers look at me 1 kind... i smiled and said gunpla plastic toys... they nodded no probs. msia customs... no bother coz inside the car boot. arrived at 7pm at msia

Ok I'm really glad the tax thing is being brought up here also. I recently asked on another thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/220207/+1540
cause it seems to me if purchases from lets say hlj are snagged at customs basically the prices for gunpla esp for mg is still quite cheap compared to the prices we see here. So I was wondering if anyone was interested or is already something like getting a group of people to order from hlj so that the shipping costs wont kill us

Thanks guys for the info~ Will share my experience when back from Japan ^^

completed this few days back, painted the inner frame only

should i go with the dry stickers or just leave it?
