Going Tokyo in few weeks time! :hype:
Any exclusive Gundam merchandise I should check out?
*
For exclusive Gunpla, make sure you visit Gundam Front Tokyo. You can get the GFT Gunpla (and other GFT merchandise) from there. Also visit the 7-11 inside the Diver City (the mall behind the Gundam statue); 7-11 exclusive Gunpla can be found there. Mandarake also has few of the GFT and 7-11 gunpla, but of course goreng a bit compared to when you go buy at GFT.

Also try look around for any Gunpla event (that has event-exclusive gunpla) held around the time you are in Japan.

eh, really? I frequently buy stuff from them previously, and it's always above 10k that they waived the handling fee. Though the last time I bought from them is last year, though. Guess they lessen the fee starting with their updated look earlier this year. much better for you, no?
*
Actually the above 5000yen free handling fee was even before they update the website looks. I think after new look still the same as well: http://www.mandarake.co.jp/en/information/qa_hand.html (scroll to the bottom)

I charged once before when buying something that cost abt 4500, should had simply add in something worth 500+ yen to just top up the value sad.gif

Haha usually when I buy something from there I'll add up item so that dont have to pay the handling charge. End up add items I dont really want as well tongue.gif

Possible.. just try ask the shop whether can under-declare or not. If can under-declared until around 14k yen ok dy

I am from PH and I've been buying from mandarake for more than a year now. Previously they will only say OK whenever i say, to declare this to that. But lately, they will warn you that they wont be responsible to any negative aspect of under-value an item but they will still do it. Whenever you order or check out, just provide in the comment how much or what words will be used to describe the item.
Please take note that under-valuation of item also affects the insurance claims if ever the package gets lost. It is the risk I take for paying lower taxes. (my tip to all of my friends buying from JP, make the price low but realistic)
*
In my case I never request to underdeclare, but when the item arrived I saw the declaration was much lower than what I paid them tongue.gif
