15,556yen, June 5th begin preorder. Dec 2014 release.

Okay, i give up. =.= Order first eat grass later.

Which is why I want it badly; Will preorder maybe next week; PO opens this Thursday. The timing is just about right for my budget.

15,556yen     

wanna kena tax meh..

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.

Got my 5M long LED strip from taobao, all in with adapter rm16, I think is pretty good price

finally my DETOLF is lighten up

btw, every time i move my olivia, it seems very unsteady, feel like the thigh join would break (touch wood!!!)

Olivia box damn huge =/ They should have made the wings separate and let us assemble it.
And i didnt notice Miku 2020 Dragon is also quite huge in box size (especially long).

I didnt remove the adhesive thingy - it doesnt look like glue to me, more like sillicone of some kind. Kinda unnecessary to remove it.
Agree. But it's really big for a 1/8 scale, but scales almost mean nothing in figures.

Tuan tuan and puan paun

Friendly reminder get your bullets ready tomorrow

Fulamak, this is really awesome!!   

saw Ciel in one of the HK shop's pre-order list, price is HKD1100, ~RM463 

RM 480 so cheap  I thought already RM 55X or higher kind of price point. I guess im overestimating the value of yen. Under Rm 500 is already cheap for a 15600yen figure. I havent order yet, most likely within this week i will order.

Tats is super gud deal 
Mind PM which shop isit?
Many thanx

RM480 is very good price. How much do we need to pay upfront?

Oh, gwing, i only bought Gunpla from them before - cheap. Fast service and mail replies, shipping is also really good. Figure isnt their main focus though, but they are pricing their preorders pretty well because their stocks from their supplier comes in large amounts so i guess that's why they can offer it cheap.

Usually I just divide the yen by 30 but even so, 480 is an awesome deal.

I wonder what's their jalan to get stock so cheap, are they GSC partnered or something?

Ciel @ RM479.75 including shipping! @_@

(also gets 480points (equivalent to RM4.80))

PO'ed within a heart beat.

Hmm few years back I accidentally saw one invoice from supplier (Japan) to a shop (the items are figurines). The prices stated in that invoice are basically retail price with 20% discount.

Trust me, even MG is very easy to build if you direct build (with proper tools), with only a few exceptions like the EX-S, Unicorn, Zeta (usually complex transformable ones). SEED and 00 MGs are very easy to build even for beginners while the amount of details is good; for PG it is not something rookies should try. MG is about the size of 1/8 figures ah, not bad already.

Walao, didnt know Ciel can get so cheap @_@ Now who should i order it from... Gwing is also a good idea, since im from penang. Can pick up from their shop, save shipping if the release timing is right.
