Alot of establish model shop have special pass for them to go into litt tak warehouse sales a day or 2 before the actual sales begin, this allows them to sapu in bulk. Litt tak give preferential treatment n prices to these shop onwers cuz they have the purchasing power to move their inventory in large amount all in 1 go. Its win win for both party as 1 get cheap stock and 1 get to move their ex stock quickly. AF Hobby is famous for doing this and they r not the only 1, im not surprise if GA does it as well.

Hence they r mixing their stock, whichever source when they make their bulk purchases is cheaper they will get it. During normal months they will get it from Amiami or hobbylink (they do bulk orders as well if u chk their websites) or someplace else. During warehouse sales get from warehouse sales.

In Japan?? define small retailers. Small hobby shops here (I'm in Japan) sells at MSRP except during sales period and even that is rare. Only big retailers (bic camera, yodobashi camera, joshin) sells at 20-30% off MSRP.. Even Aeon here sells just a little bit below MSRP (about 10-15% off).

it's well known Malaysia imported products are never cheap.

Toysrus, Jusco, Parkson has been doing that since day 1. They all got their stocks from same supplier since day 1. if you went to those Tamiya shops before you would notice how much mark up their items are, simply because these business are monopolized by some high ranking politician family.

And of course you have to take into GST, Tax etc and a margin to cover the currency fluctuations etc.

I dare say most shops import direct either from Japan or Hong Kong, depending on the currency performance. GA usually import from Japan as you can hear they always complain about yen going up. Rarely they get from Lik Takk. Remember Gundam kits are always in print unless it's limited editions so no reason for them to get old stock via middleman like Lik Takk than direct from supplier.

They ship in big bulk by Sea, and some have ways to "Settle" import duties. they don't require big warehouse, big sales outlet in prime location and just need 2-3 staffs. So they can keep the price down.

I will be depart from Singapore Changi Airport. Will there be any issue?

Then I should be fine, I will touch down at Singapore Changi Airport as well.

Second home is in Singapore, First home is in JB. So I most likely will bring the model one by one back to JB to prevent malaysia custom check.

I did a rough check. The amount of having Tax Relief for arrival is SGD600, which is around RM1.9k. I do not think I will spend so much for Gundam.     

Somemore with 8% tax reduction, should be fine. right?

ok noted thanks.

guys im back with question, i just finish sanding n building the skirt part last night and the ball joints there r really loose. one touch and it might fall off, wats the best way to tighten it? i read some ppl use mr cement some use super glue but from my understanding, mr cement melt the plastic to hold it together wit another parts so super glue is a better choice if i wan to tighten it n still able to move it around?

oh ok, thanks. i read so much comments on people saying RG rx-78-2 is flimsy but so far i built the legs and skirt, they seems fine to me 

Litt Tak warehouse sale from 25th-27th August...

you only apply cement when you want to attach 2 bare plastic parts permanently.

please don't give wrong info as people have damaged their model kits this way because someone on the internet told them it works.

well another purpose for using cement is if you want to damage the part for some reason, like melting damage effects.

people give you correction you want to be sarcastic.

hai...

Do not use hobby cement, it is not add layer on plastic but instead melting it. I use putty on ball neck joint for my HG Unicorn before. It works better than layer of paint.

I mean for the gunpla the price ain't much different, but they're still cheaper compare to here

Different situation. Seam line removal is bond the plastic together by melting it.
Doesnt work well for tightening joint which we try to add another extra layer on it.

Heck the normal super glue work best than hobby cement.
Use hobby knife to trim it first and then sand the part gently.

Did it myself. It is become not so hard layer and probably will use more cement than needed to get the thick layer.

Also the extra thin type cement cant use to fix loose joint at all. It will evaporate like water when it dries.

Can we order pbandai kit from pbandai singapore? Did they do delivery to malaysia?

same.
I need to buy this

GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE WING GUNDAM ZERO (Endless Waltz Ver.)

how do we buy from them sighhh.. malaysia no p-bandai ah?

how is the sales today?

Eh nope, I'm using the Mr.Cement Limonene type. It is extra thin solvent with lemon fragrant. The solvent does not bond with ABS plastic like my all purpose Mr.Cement Deluxe. Plus the cement is thin like water than thickness like glue. Not all hobby cement have same feature, there is a special cement for metal part, ABS plastic and such..

Multi purpose hobby cement works if you apply really thick layer but got risk as @advocado said .
Safe route is either use super glue or buy hardware top coat spray Anchor, Mr.DIY etc to apply the thick layer.

I like use putty method though because paint layer or super glue only working for a while before goes loose again.
Putty is harden like original plastic which is the best way to fix loose ball joint.
