Just "bumped" into this topic today

. Always thought only Bandai gundams will have own topic.
Anyway, I have been buying fake gundams for a few years (price factor, also not serious, just for fun). Started with GD, but have switched to TT Hong Li.
I always get my supply from toy shops at Jalan Raja Laut and Lrg Haji Taib 1 and 2. 1st shop along the main road is at pedestrian crossing, same row with CIMB. 2nd shop is corner shop 2 rows behind CIMB. 3rd one, 4 rows of shops almost directly behind the 1st shop (but I think it got burned last week).
The stock varies, depending on their orders. Sometimes, 2 - 3 months, no new stocks

. The price for 1/144 HG is around RM20 - 28, for 1/100 it varies from RM80 - 150 (didn't note what grade).

Good news is you can get up to 50% discount

, but each shop have different policy.
1st and 3rd shop, if you buy 6 or more, and can be different type - depends on hard you can bargain (also, if you buy a lot, say > RM150). 2nd shop, must buy 3 of each type, min 6 types (not negotiable, though I have seen them selling single ones at discounted price to regulars - traders, I think).
I usually buy from the 1st and 3rd shop - easier to bargain. Also, the staff usually lets you check out the contents first.
Hope this helps.
I just been to the 1st shop he said. There have 1/144 HG OO (Exia, Dynames, Kyrios, Nadleeh, Virtue, Union Flag, Overflag, Throne Eins, Throne Zwei, Throne Drei, Graham's Union Flag and Tieren Ground), BB Sangokuden (Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sima Yi, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou En, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao) and 1/100 MG Strike + IWSP.
All from TT Hongli
00 HG is ~RM20++ each, BB Sangokuden ~RM10++
Just to let everyone know.
