Lucky me didn't ordered from Qisahn. Was planning to get from them but saw the advertising of Truegamers in 11street. Straight away bought from them.
I used to buy from them too. My N3DSXL was from them. However, I went to Singapore to collect them myself last time.

Oh no just the back of my switch. If they scratched my screen the shop won't be open today (Hulk smash). Hahahaha.

That is why I would prefer to apply the screen protector myself instead of letting them to do it for me.
Have you ever seen them applying the film and with bubble inside and try to squeeze out the bubble with hard tool later? They press on the screen so hard. They just don't treat or care the unit is still new or not. Just try to get the job done with brute force.

Tested my unit for a while yesterday. So far very happy with this device. This is the ultimate handheld for me. Good crisp IPS panel coped with enough power to shy PS3/X360 and WiiU. This is my dream come true machine rclxms.gif When compare to previous released handheld, the differences are night and day.

for those who are new to nintendo eshop

usually canada -> provide alberta (lowest tax) has the best rate for NA games.

for instance, in usa, just dance 2017 would cost 60 usd which is around rm275 after bank conversion charge.

if your account is set canada, it would cost only 62.99 cad which is around myr 215.

for other games like zelda they are almost the same.

Why not using US 97219 Portland, Oregon? Its' tax free. I have been using this since 3DS time until now. I have linked my.nintendo account into Switch as well. Malaysia CC might not work in US eShop. However, you can just buy the eShop digital card from Amazon and top up the amount in eShop this way. It works like a charm for me quite sometime already.

Alright, this is getting out of hand.

Remember the Qisahn's fast shipping fiasco?

They used Fedex to ship out the Nintendo Switch from Singapore to Malaysia and guess what? It got held up by Customs since this morning and I don't see any way they will be able to bring it out. Called up Fedex and they informed me that the Supplier use the wrong tariff code? This code requires electrical items to bear the SIRIM sticker.

Told them that this is a Gaming console. After referring to their import specialist, they informed me that they will submit the case with another tariff but most likely the package would have some sort of import tax to it. Asked them who is bearing the cost? The official answer was too complicated for me to understand but to boil it down, the recipient do not need to bear the cost.

It just get more and more complicated. Can't a guy just have his Switch?

Already missed the HYPE on the first day of release and now all this have to happen. Great work there! Sigh!!

This is the worse case scenario which happened to me last time when I imported my DJI Phantom. You have to bare the GST + Import Tax + SIRIM certification (the new ruling is any electrical equipment with wifi capability you need the cert). Only the lucky guy get this though thumbsup.gif
Normally, they will just let it go but.....there is always a but.

yes, but for some games they are priced cheaper in CAD. for instance, just dance 2017 only cost me rm215 (51 usd / 63 cad after 5% tax on alberta), if buy from usa even 0% tax it cost rm275 (60 usd)

To be fair, actually this due to our custom new policy in place. It started since our RM spinning down out of control like crazy. Government made it very tough for us now to import item from oversea.

nah, no matter the circumstances, its their fault.

currently, there are two customers complaining them in their chat box cause Qisahn failed to do same-day delivery, both of them are from SG.

Qisahn is playing with fire here

Regarding the delivery, yap that is their problem but goods stuck in custom is not one of them. Our custom or rather government like to change policy like eating peanuts. Sometime very hard for outside vendor to ship their good into our country especially now with weak RM performance. They will try to find every single fault in your parcel and charge for more. All about money.

Came back from Singapore yesterday night. Switch helped me to keep the boredom away the whole and hey, its made the trip short also I think. Not even able to finish 1 dungeon in Zelda and was being informed to switch off due to landing.
Anyway been to Maxsoft Pte.Ltd. when I was in Singapore. The shop is in Fortune Center tower lvl 17. A very old tower from the look of it. Not a single walk in customer when I was there. Guess they are more on wholesales and online supply.

If you bought Hori, it's plastic.

Yap. Hori one is plastic even the one I am using now, the extra hard 9H one. Very easy to attract dust sad.gif So, I ended up buying Tempered Glass from Amazon and also a Link Amiibo(USD15.99) together.

6 I think. Stamina not really required if you have Revali's Gale, or use fire updraft, or the Climber Armor set. And if I need them, I can simply trade stamina with heart at the horned statues. In fact, having too many stamina portions is kinda cheating. Especially in the labyrinth areas. I did that once to see what's at the top of the Gerudo labyrinth. Can easily avoid all the enemies, traps and Ganon's ooze by traveling at the top of the maze. Kinda cheating to me.

I play the game like how I play Bloodborne: split-second timing to avoid weapon stabs/swings, then unleash flurry attacks. Got so used to sidestepping enemy attacks, that I dont even use shields that much, and often enough I use two handed weapons like Claymores and Great Blades than single-handed weapons. I hate spears, low damage, and more like ranged combat than in-your-face. Shield reflects are my favorite, always reserve that for last in Test of Strength shrine combats with Guardians.

On the other hand, stealth is good too. That's how I approach the game at first, until I grew strong enough. The most hilarious part about sneaking was on Eventide Island trial, I managed to sneak onto a Hinox while it was sleeping and stole the orb without waking him up, LOL!

You should try the Master Sword which is unbreakable since you have so many hearts.
