Most of the time when I come back form long trips.. 1 backpack, 2 big roller... no problem.. I just jalan straight.. sometimes the customs officer will call u.. but if there is a lot of people.. just buat bodo and walk straight.. they will give up and concentrate on more pliable 'clients'

and they nvr suspect it might be taxable huh...anyway good for u! 趙雲子龍 looks nice!
interesting all this while I thought it might be a crime running away from them...nvr thought u can do that..guess many factors are included like if u r walking with ur family or solo traveller
*
I dont advocate running away from kastam... but if you were preoccupied with something else and didnt hear them calling you amidst the crowd, then you cant really be blamed...... blush.gif

But I only do that when travelling alone, with family (and my kid) if they wanna stop us we will comply..

Can share what are the other sources to bypass custom? Only way I can see is to buy locally, but the price will be higher.

Last week I just hand carry a few figures back to msia... scanned no issue

Last week bought a figure from AmiAmi, 17k yen.. probably can get a better deal if I shop around, but was rushing to dinner so no time...

Not the first time buying from them, no issues so far

let's stop a moment and reflect...

when the customs are lazy or when there is a systemic breakdown of the system and they don't bother inspecting every single parcel as they should, we rejoice because we don't get taxed. but when they do, there is hue and cry over having to pay taxes and the inconvenience of it all. that pretty much sums up malaysian mentality... malaysia baru, fikiran lama. and at the end of the day, we gotto blame someone... anyone except ourselves. awesome.

back to amiami... yeah, they generally have the best prices, but they don't carry skytube premiums or native (unless it's pre-owned stuff). hobbysearch provides excellent prices during sales. and nippon yasan... that's pretty much the place to go for the cast-offable and likely to be confiscated stuff. all excellent retailers, imo.
*
Hence i said earlier i dont mind the customs doing their job, if its taxable, then pay lor.

i would prefer it if it was carried out without fear or favour but alas one can only hope.

I don't mind to pay tax actually, but....

Before they can tax you, they will inspect the item first, which does not bode well with some figures from, say, skytube or native.
*
Well, to be fair, we are breaking (or atleast pushing the boundaries) of the law here with those figures...

If there is a need for me to get those figure.. I'll usually hand carry the,.. even if the customs scanned it.. they dont really care once they see its a "toy"...

How did Poslaju handle your package from your personal experience? Just worried that they will handle the package roughly and damage my figure. If its generally alright, it would be more convenient for me to get Poslaju handle the payment in my stead.
*
If you are worried about rough handling, dont.

Cause from Japan to here to your house.. it wont get any rougher anyway. A well packed figure will be ok, in the worst case scenario the corner edges of the box might get dented abit but the figure itself will have no damage.

It is not against the rules. Period. Friends go vote only, it's not like I made duplicate accounts. He is from HK, and he also has his own Chinese "Army" that go vote his pics one. Dunwan to admit only.

That guy holds the record for the most gold awards in that site, he is scared that i will surpass his record.

Personally I think its fair game.

Its fine for us to highlight it to our friends/captive audience and if they like it they can vote.

I'm the only person in MFC who poses a threat to his records. He really pay attention to who wins every month even though he once claimed "badges are not important". This is the 3rd of 4th time he scrunitized me in the past 2 years, but it hasn't affected me much. The gap in our scores are narrowing year over year. If I keep up my current pace I will match or surpass him next year in mid or late 2020. After all, you only have 12 chances a year to win the gold. Some people spend 5 years on mfc posting pics and only manage to win one.

That kind of toxic behavior from him makes me more determined to surpass his records even more.

hmm the other side looks perfect lol for me this is a very very tiny paint problem that I prolly wouldn't be so nit-picking about..
plus my eyesight is very bad when looking at things from afar so that could be contributing as well haha

Would have to agree.

I will probably not spot it (with my aging eyessight) or if I did wouldnt mind it that much

But I can appreciate how some might find it extremely annoying though, its our money, so we each have different standard that we find acceptable.

Same design as the ultimate madoka i believe, the dress plug into the base as you can see. I think they definitely used some sort of reinforcement to achieve it.

I looks very very flimsy... hardly enough support for the entire figure. Especialyl in our weather.. I dont aircondition my house 24/7 sweat.gif

Nonetheless, very detailed, I like the effort put into the figure..... if it was more to my type (armor/swords/etc) i would consider taking the plunge
