Indeed she is. Sadly a GK. No pro skills to fix her up.

Will keep dreaming of my Kusugawa then blush.gif

Send to Office usually means passed already lol.
Every single of of my previous trackings for all of my purchases always give that result after Customs Inspections procedure. The parcels were never opened at all. What figure was that?

Anyway, i emailed The Star newspaper an article/memo on the figure topic, and it is now up to them to publish it in the opinion/views section or not. If they are actually fair instead of being biased, and accepts all kinds of opinions, they should publish it, at least in their site. It will take at least several days since they get lots of submissions. The best would be the article appearing on the newspaper, the opinions section.

It's a Cross X Create Enma figure. Castoffable wor. And the pose also quite revealing already. If lepas then I am very lucky lor sweat.gif

I hope your case goes through. Can't believe we individual buyers are being penalized shakehead.gif

How much do you usually have to pay customs to release the figure?

Hi guys. Hope the senpais here can shed some light on this.

Most of you are big time collectors of PVC figures. The question is,

1) What do you do with the boxes?

The illustration/art on them are, at times, pretty nice and a waste to throw them away.

2) Do you store them in your cabinets?

3) If yes, how? Flatten the box?

4) What happens to the plastic materials inside the box?

I'm going to build a custom cabinet in my apartment and there won't be much space to store the boxes sad.gif

Buy 18sx figure no problem one. Buy or bring barbie doll dresses and dress the figures up. They see patung in fabric clothes they pass it one lol. It is like barbie to them when there are fabric clothes. It is optical discs - hentai, eroge, JAV, that one almost impossible to bring over. You want, u buy, rip it into your laptop and install immediately (possibly u need the pass key), then throw away or sell to reseller shops if you know any.

Just to share my experience. I agree with buying 18sx figures from Japan and passing customs without a problem. Done that multiple times before when on project in Tokyo years ago.

As for discs.. I too have been safe so far. Bought a JAV and hentai disc once. Placed them between clothes in my check-in luggage. Arrived in KLIA, walked pass customs officer like a boss. Last year bought a 18sx magazine and just put it in a pocket of my luggage. No problem. There was once I bought a fleshlight and just put it between my clothes. A succubus must be hovering over me coz I've evaded the officers so far. Or.. they are just lazy.

Disclaimer: the fleshlight is for a weeaboo friend of mine. please believe me.
