I'm wary of heat form light sources with my figures.

My ID currently designing my display cabinet all got funky light to make the figures stand out... but... I'm worried I end up with melted plastic..

thats the michael jackson's signature move right there
jokes aside I am by no means an expert in this matters,
however I believe it's quite hard to achieve that unless u sealed the box completely which will allow the heat to accumulate in the box
If I were to build one I would probably put the light source outside of the box and leave a small gap for heat dissipating purpose
take Ikea detolf shelf as a n example it's used by many as figure display cabinet, have enough gaps, and u can add LED lights in it
I am planning to just get a detolf shelf (cant find any good alternative), dustproof it and place all my figure in it..
*
If you dustproof detolf then there wont be gap for heat dissapation tongue.gif

Also I think most ppl buy detolf cause its cheap, easily accessible, and quite decent for display purposes..

Is there a way I can declare and pay import tax beforehand? Fucking troublesome have to wait until it arrives, just so that custom can tahan it for 2/3 days and ask me to go to their office / hire agent to do it.
*
When I buy things from Amazon, DHL/FedEx pre charge me the "import tax" and they will settle everythign until reach my place. Ofcourse they might end up not paying any tax, but I'm charged anyway.

So likely yes, but you pay much more for such convenience.

I ordered a prime1 gantz figure from their website but i only found out it was extra-nsfw in third party forums. i mean, the images on their site indicate it was fully covered but i have no complaints la...except this issue  cry.gif
you think customs will make an effort opening and checking everything and label it as lucah? they've opened up other nsfw items and it cleared last time for me. but it's thrice as expensip this time round.  unsure.gif

If you buy from taobao and use their official shipping (官方物流), you won't get taxed.

I think you should also look for good sellers who pack their stuff well, I tried 3 shops, 2 are fucking horrible and the box came in smashed, it's so bad that I'm trying to sell it boxless and get a new one. Now I only buy from this one seller that has super good service and packaging.

Seller do trash packaging even for real/ori figures?! blink.gif

I recently purchased from Amiami total price include DHL shipping 20240 JPY. I was charged an additional RM265.30 for duties and fees by DHL. Isn't this way too high? Anyone managed to dispute this before?
*
Actually I prefer DHL way of doing things, they will give u an overall cost all the way to your doorstep. If you dont like it feel free not to deal with them, I bought an item form US, the shipment is ~USD300, about 100% the price of the item itself, I calculated and paid the price and within 6 days i got the item. Dont need to deal with any customs etc

Has anyone experienced bringing about 10 figures back at the airport?
I'm mainly worried about tax and whether they'll confiscate it because it's NSFW.

Other items with higher value can bide in luggage, but figure boxes damn big.

Also would like to ask, if you appoint PosLaju when dealing with customs. Will they open the box still?
*
I brought back 3 before, one in luggage, 2 i hand carried in a big mandarake paper bag... walked pass kastam like a boss. No issues.

As for 10... I dont even know you gonna carry it..

Was this in KLIA? All your items also scanned?

Haha, going with a few people, so carrying it won't be a problem. Just worried they're gonna open, check then kacau if it's NSFW lol. Like come on man, what's the most harm someone can do by owning an NSFW figure lol
*
i travel to Japan atleast twice a year.. almost always i bring back some figure or others. Sometimes they scan sometimes they dont, if each person bring 1~2 totally no issue.. they cannot see much details when scanning. If one person bring back 10.. confirm got issues.

Yes tongue.gif But take note that this said "proxy" is actually my friend in Japan tongue.gif

It's not like I don't want to pay for the tax, but kastam here located all the way at old LCCT with no access to public transport aside from taxi, which is RM 20 one-way from KLIA or KLIA2; the public transportation cost might be more than the tax itself. Appointing Pos Malaysia to collect from you will incur about RM 50 extra cost, which again might be more than the tax itself
*
Yes.. having to take leave and go there is a PAIN.

The leave cost much more then any tax they can charge...

I'm pretty sure it's 10%. Wish it was 6 though. Would be even better if the tax is levied upon the amount exceeding RM500.

Well the theory is that everything is taxable. Just that below 500 it's not worth their time. Once it hits 500 then they tax you the full CIF value which kinda sucks as the shipping fee is considerable.

According to my friend who is a kastam officer in KL, you can do the procedure for mysafe by yourselves, but it will take quite a while. Anyway this mysafe thingie on imported parcel is a pilot test program, at least until June this year. Though do take note the rules could be different on East Malaysia, since kastam there have more autonomy than West Malaysia

They will strive to make it as hard as possible for you to do it personally.

We all know this is to push ppl towards using the agents...

If declared value over 500, or they suspect underdeclare, or sender is on their watchlist, they will detain first. Then upon inspection if it's deemed under mysafe rules, they will ask for cert, on top of the sst

This is getting ridiculous.

I'll stick to handcarry hence forth... so that will limit me to around 2 figure per trip.. so thats 4 a year.... good enuf for my appetite.
