yep.
e.g i bought my grand daddy ver 3.0 for 3,280 yen = +/- RM 110 while locally it would cost around RM 150-170
my friend bought sazabi ver ka for 6300 yen = +/- RM 200, RM 280 - 350 here

You forgot to add tax.
I usually import direct from japan for rare items. Seem that if your items' value over RM500 will get tax. Even if the only item taxable has a value of RM100. They'll still tax the RM100 value.
So you'll also need to add tax and transportation.

that's the perk of going with friends who dont enjoy gunplas! biggrin.gif
we stuffed 2 MGs in his luggage and the remainders in hand carries (RG/HG) and small luggages, sealed with clothes.

for the transportation..well let's just say it's worth the trip just to see and feel japan rclxm9.gif
