haha most of the renewal version seems to be an excuse to increase the price. I think if they were to just re-release (meaning everything are the same like the previous batch incl the product name), they can't increase the price. But once you slapped 'renewal version' to the product name (and maybe include very small extras or change packaging), then can put different price than the previous version

So... after figmas and nendos were gonna get figurines packaged in with games now.

the girl with the leaves and bunga raya, amiami orders gets a wall scroll i think.

That one need to pay extra (there's version without wall scroll as well)

Anyone wanna do a group order ah?

wanna kena tax meh..

sad one, pos laju tracking tak update, have to use japan's ems site.

single order no tax? I plan to do this as my first oversea order leh~ scare scare~

here comes aomine

any single shipment amounting more than RM500 have very high chance of being taxed

Ciel should easily be over RM500 including shipping, therefore chances of it being taxed should be quite high.

Since will kena tax regardless if it's individual or group order, wouldn't we save on shipping if we do group order? More ppl would mean more savings and it seems there's already quite a few people in this thread that's interested.

Of course, the question is whether the savings are significant enough to justify the hassle of a group order.

Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, GSC's online shop charges flat rate of ¥2000 for shipping to anywhere in the world regardless of how many items you order. But then, we'll need to factor in that the base price for the figure in GSC's shop will be higher than the other retailers. So need to play around a bit to see which retailer is cheaper (inclusive of shipping cost) when buying in bulk.

Just my 2 cents. Feedback is welcomed.

I remember maximum is 3 order per account, right?

Oh, I forgot about the order limit of 3 units of the same item.
My bad.

Ok guys

Might kena 5% or none, but abit mafan need to go to them to confirm

I made a calculation comparison before in the previous thread but not sure what page; kena tax 10% or paying extra for shipping (by splitting into 2 parcels - if there are multiple figures in your package), there are almost no savings made - at most you save like a few hundred yen (only RM10 - 20+), small difference (depends la, to some people RM 10 is also big deal to them, but chump change to me - when compared to the overall value of your purchase).

As for group orders, you only truly save on group orders in shipping costs if you are lucky enough to avoid tax - which is impossible when you look at the release time frame of Ciel - December. If delayed, maybe January or latest February. Between Dec-Feb customs are hot on parcels trying to tax as many of them as possible because ppl doing business are importing lots of stuff, doing sales for Xmas and CNY. So, i dont recommend group order especially for Ciel, if the release date is any indication.

For expensive figures like Ciel i'd rather preorder from a local seller i know and no need to deal with risk of tax.
Only cheaper, under 12k yen figure that wont become rare i hunt for the cheapest deal after release. My Dark Olivia will be shipped out today, and including shipping costs, she cost me only RM 500 (i was also surprised). If a 13,800yen figure i can get at RM 500, Ciel will most likely end up costing about RM 600 maximum, not more. Barely an extra 2000yen.

i've shipped in items via ems that are more than rm500 before but touch wood so far tak kena tax.
the one time i dhl-ed something over rm500 i kena tax and had to pay the balance to the dhl dispatch.

if ems kena tax, have to drive to klia customs to self collect or can pay their dispatch or at pos office?
