since i'm quite new to this thing... may i ask something?

i've heard that during the raya period, items tend to go missing during shipping. anyone experience this before? i'm kinda scared because tsurugi's delivery time will be around raya month...

in case you forgot who is tsurugi:

now all new pre-orders by AF Hobby are by new owners who are friendly and helpful
only their old(and lots of rare) in-stock figures are still under the old crackpot unfriendly boss

Does BIJ sends their invoices as Colletoys Godogaisha? their paypal address is from paypal2@biginjap.com, and somehow the amount in email doesn't match up to the invoice given (about 200 yen short). is that normal??

Sigh, Paypal's turn to screw with me. I cant get my debit card confirmed there. =.= You know, "Resolve" problems associated with a limited paypal account but the site doesnt seem to let me pass the page where i have to retype my password, even though my password is correct. Damn dulan...  vmad.gif I think it's their system's problem.
Hobby Search said their payment system (that doesnt go through paypal) is incompatible with some debit cards (they dont have a list of compatible and incompatible cards) but i can give it a try if i want. Maybe i'll try buying from HS instead of amiami, might work since my debit card is under VISA.

confirm? u mean verify? i've never verify my card and it works fine. I just add the card details and that's it.

Problem is when my account was limited because i didnt verify the card (and the system somehow doesnt want to do so). Limited account = no transaction can be made. Paypal isnt really user friendly towards newbies, they just fuc with them in the name of security.

*Edit: Limitation removed after i called their customer service center  smile.gif But i didnt verify the card yet because i dont know how the get the e-statement where a confirmation code is in it, although the details have been entered. At least now i can make payments.

typical case of it works, nobody knows why; it doesn't work, nobody knows why either.

i think the leg cannot tahan the weight if 100% follow the illustration

Only half correct - the so-called excise duty are for things like cigarettes, alcohol, and some luxury stuff that have separate taxes applied. You cant expect a Ferrari or a Lamborghini to be taxed only 6% right? If there are only taxed 6% an Aventador wouldnt be priced at RM2.8million - it'd be much lower. Stuff like cigarettes are taxed 300%, and will be taxed another 6% on purchase/transaction.

Any other things (sundry, electronics, garments, toys, etc) that are not in this exemption list (usually luxury stuff and specific items that have higher taxes like tobacco products) will never be taxed upon import - taxes are only charged on consumers based on how much they spend. When u spend in a supermarket, you are taxed 6% for each transaction (but some food, petrol and essential stuff are exempted). It is no different from the Japan tax system, you see things like 9800yen (10,584yen) - 2 prices written on the figure box. The higher price is the final amount consumers pay for - after a 8% GST tax.

When you buy online and import it, it is also considered as a transaction and may be eligible to 6% GST it it passes the maximum amount (price) allowed, but there are no other taxes applied, only this 6% GST.
*
so the current kastam tax is replaced by GST instead when GST is implemented?

i don't think this counts as figure, but any love for this? made by GSC. first of its kind, the product line is called Good Smile Arms

mine usually will be in retention before delivery. try asking them about your package's location if you're worried.

just some heads up...

I was trying to pay AmiAmi with PayPal linked with maybank debit card but failed... until i activated overseas usage. For the past transactions can go smoothly (my last transaction is on january), I guess maybank changed the settings?

it went fine with big in japan though (this was yesterday).
