Pretty sure they do not do regular touch up of paintings...

I'm aware of art conservation/restoration.

but museum largely do NOT touch a painting unless its absolutely necessary.

so true. my swiss army blade has been with me for more than 25 years and i can attest that the blade is still as sharp and zero colour fade/discolouration. besides, no need take up much space. a drawer holds plenty of penknives... and abouts wifey's dagger looks too!

but back to figures. whilst i never had any expectation that they'll last as long as my penknives, surely it's fair to expect them to last at least five years, no? was i being overly optimistic? mebbe the figures are not meant for tropical climates? doubt we have sophisticated climate controls for our mancaves, but surely the figures should be able to withstand the humidity behind closed doors and without direct sunlight beaming in, no? sigh... no wonder this thread has been pretty quiet also these days.

is the figure mall ok?

i accidentally press buy now on their website

can cancel? gg now

Japan Trip End December 2018 - Early January 2019

Run thru x-ray machine only

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'

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...... 

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

Hey guys a little help here pls.
I'll be going to overseas soon for a trip but I got to know that one of my parcel may have some problems.
What does the status "Held at" means?
Over at Japan Post tracking, it says "Item held at inward Office of Exchange".
My item kena tahan dy? What should I do??

The status at poslaju shows "Import terminated Item disposed off according to sender's instruction."
What the..? What does that even mean?

My GSC Ultimate Madoka Dieded. The rod break jor.
Maybe due to cold and heat?

Hi, I'm not too familiar with purchasing figurines online but I am planning to get this one: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-038296 from AmiAmi within the next few days.

Was wondering how often do figures get held up at customs nowadays? while I can understand having to pay extra tax for it, the distance I will have to travel is quite a bit and I would prefer if I could somehow avoid this.

Also, how do they determine how much extra tax I will need to pay for a specific product?

I understand that bigger sized boxes will have a higher chance of being examined?

Thanks in advance for your help.

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.

People getting salty over virtual awards 

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.

It's been a while since I'm posting in here. A little rant to clear up my mind.

After a long waiting, finally my 1/8 Meteora Osterreich (Phat) reach me last week.
As for my inspection, I'm notice the detail & figure paint quality is very poor. The gold & blue color on for her cloth line very poor painting & messy. Some of the MFC communities also facing the same problem.

Feel disappointing after a long waited, which is why I really hate pre-ordering figure anymore. Damn.

As for my lesson, my Altair (Gunpuku no Himegumi) will be my last pre-order figure.

some of it. thing is, figures are all in box. not yet open.



cheers

Ohhh boy, the one I bought from taobao came and the box was smashed beyond my expectation. Asked seller whether they could add extra packaging next time and he asked me to use Shunfeng lmao
