thanks for info.

I just checked few online shops offer reward point like toy panic and shioktoys.
anyone of you find this reward point benefit?

yes if you are a frequent/ regular buyer at such shops and you dont hv time or like to window shop what you want..
but the points converts to discount is actually very little... thats a marketing strategy to keep customers coming back..
In my book Toypanic gets a plus on free delivery even though its not a courier..

If you are the type who likes to do price comparing between shops online/physical, there are better deals sometimes..

just a precaution.. so that you'd take extra care when moving the figures part..
especially try avoid parts rubbing/knocking each other when u r trying to pose..

id recommend having a cloth for you to put the figure on while you figure out to move which part and how to pose... or you can use the cloth to put under the part u r moving.. like moving the arm, put cloth under the arm pit to avoid rubbing..

usually ppl are careful at moving the parts of the figure to avoid scratching.. but overlook when they are putting it lying down on the table/bumping the feet with the table surface while doing a pose.. sooner or later realized there are chips,scratch, scrape that happens while we are handling it...

i just worry some online shops got hidden charge/delivery charges..bla bla bla...
btw, next year got somemore 6% gst.

gst is suppose to replace sales & service tax..

if you PO something at 1000 before gst, shop r not suppose to add another 6% to the 1000 after gst is implemented..

they are suppose to adjust it.. 1000 minus SST 10% then add 6%...

but most likely many will abuse this and charge current price which include SST.. and then when item released when gst is implemented add GST somemore..

so you are paying both tax..

Yup, Toypanic I try before, very well service and friendly owner, and their rapping is good and well protect to the item.

But, let's say you buy hot toys, that's few hundred rm collection, I more prefer to walk in and check carefully on the item itself rather than postage.

Shioktoys I also try before, I walk in and collect my ht, they got friendly staff also. So you might just choose which shop you prefer.

Toyspanic everyday log in 5 points per day. 100points = rm1.

XL shop over rm200 also free post, but online buy no sp discounts.

but last time XL got CNY ang pow lucky draw, can really get good deals & also few hundred worth of coupons. too bad 1 year only.

Physical shops rarely can match online price, and most physical shops sell online too. FB/Ebay/Webstore/Garage Sales.

Online shop they have to be competitive becoz too easy to compare price, physical shop they know harder to compare price and many impulse buyers, unless you really slick good at negotiating.

i play metal robots the only reason you wear a glove is not to leave grease on the surface. but i never do that because glove makes it easy to slip out of hand.

just see carefully and move it slowly should be no problem.

You can always request them to inspect for you, give them authority to open up the packaging or look at the window to see what type of concerns you have.

Most shops let you do that, but don't be ultra picky with minor things.

Some items aren't subject to tax, but having GST means everything has to add in the tax.

Yup normally I just open n check the body and others accessories, unless is very obvious defect, if small case I will still accept cause nothing is perfect.

Final haul for this year, and the final nail to the coffin for my WWRp jungle colorway

Nice haul bro, more to come on 2015
