Jasonist: To my surprise, the kastam people are now more clean ! I remember they used to be very dodgy when I brought in camera stuff even though camera stuff is tax free ! Luckily I was not conned at that time.


subaru22b: Heheh... Not pasar borong lah. Just got 2 Subaru 1/43 cars. Will try and post some pics when I get back.


quiksilve: Damn, your eyes (and myke's) quite sharp lah ! Almost accurate. Need to do more camouflage next time before taking pics. Actually in total there's slightly more than 9 cars. All I know is I pokai already.


myke: Yalar... I believe every item (tax free or taxed item) will get tahan at the kastam if it's over RM 500. Well, the person there mentioned that those packages declared as gift will also get tahan and taxed accordingly. Anyway, will try and post some individual pics of the haul.

jchue73: luckily my reventon & impreza didn't kena but was opened for checking ..u bought more than 9 cars?! i do salute your passion... u r my idol



same with me bro, wallet getting lighter.. i will be back in few months! haha
plan to get gulf 009 but i oredi have DBR9 #007, please give me more reason not to get... or can tumpang to save shipping? but scare kena tax again...sigh

Idol? I'm more like a wannabee.

Anyway, it's not like all were 1/18 scale. 9 of them were 1/43 scale.

Oh... Forgot to ask. Anybody can recommend a Jap Race Queen anime figurine to go with some photo taking with the cars?

Also, anybody knows where to get The Stig figurine? That'll be cool too.

quiksilve: those pictures can be considered as a success if they manage to lure u to get one...

jchue73: talking bout The Stig figurine... im oso would like to get one but it seems kinda rare unless ur in the UK... but currently ebay is selling one though...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/The-Stig-Figurine-By...=item20ac535ee8

btw did i hear the Gulf 009???

Jasonist, that's a great find ! Looks good but (there's always a but) the price is jaw dropping nonetheless.

what cloth u all use to polish the car? man i use those cloth use to wipe monitor wan.. got minor scratch wan..

hehehe wow i also have the DBR9 #007 cause i'm a big psp fan last time, first gen psp user, so when i saw that DBR9 having the PSP on its side, i knew i just have to have it. whats more bond's number on an aston martin, way cool.

Well i think that the 009 gulf will look awesome beside the #007, i just dont know but there is something about the way aston martin's shape and design look, it evokes some sort of coolness to it.

Whats more lucky we didnt buy the limited edition prodrive version of the 009 gulf if not sure cry now with tears after hearing the re-issue.

Of course sure can tumpang and save shipping, i will be asking Baronzemo to help me order. drop me or him a pm when you decide ya bro, not mistaken i heard HK just launch already the 009 gulf. don't worry about tax problems with kastam.

Jasonist: you poison me bad , hahaha

leroy87: the best cloth i tested so far with minimal and no scratching is the meguaires lint free cloth use for cleaning and waxing application, its yellow in colour, i think can be bought at any DIY store or Eneos centre. hope it helps

jchue73: A BIG WOW! JAW DROPPING new haul you got there.... I guess the total items already exceeded RM1K... so you'll have problem running away from custom officer...

From my overseas purchase experience:
-> NEVER buy too many items in one purchase - RISK!!! you don't know where the items gonna end up... could be stolen... or route to elsewhere... I experienced that before.

->IF YOU declare the real value for insurance - then you need to pay high stamp duty...

* These are what I usually do
1. Pack less than 4 items (1/43 models) in one parcel - so able to fit in small box.
2. Never declare the real value... GIFT- CURRENCY VERY IMPORTANT! HK is my favorite!
3. Buy postal insurance if needed... ALWAYS use registered mail/ EXPRESS if you so desperate..
4. ALWAYS stick a fragile sticker....
5. INSIST good packaging from you seller + Bubble wrapping MANDATORY!...

-- that's how I minimize the risk of custom duty and lost in transit--

Should back to Malaysia in next two weeks... really looking forward to combine my new haul with those at home...

REALCollector, thanks for your tips. Very valuable info for me. What you say is correct. But it is unfortunate that shipping cost is expensive. So what to do... Pack everything at one go. Cheaper but like you say, the risk is there. I know that putting all your eggs in one basket is not a wise thing to do...

Next time (if ever was a next time ) I'll try to balance out the best rate and divide them to several smaller packages if possible.

Is this what you do when u post to others or u ask the seller to do it for you?

Thanks guys !

jchue73: Haha your haul aint too bad too. Cant wait to see your ferrari's as well.

Jasonist: Your collection also very power. All the white and blacks you posted earlier is serious strong poison ! Yeah they did make a delorean back to the future car in 1/18, i think all 3 version in all 3 movies. I think you made me put eleanor on my top of my haul list next

myke: Yeah myke, join us if you want. Can save too. Anything just pm me bro.

Neat collexione, you have there, Baronzemo. Hope to see some individual shots of your cars there.

As for all other forummers, I'll be posting some other shots these few days of a some newly bought car and one car which has been given as a gift by a friend of mine Be on the lookout and enjoy the rest of your day!

Here is today's flavour, DBR9 #007 , or a.k.a. fish lips.

yeah... spam this thread with pictures, we love nice shots

that is lovely 'red lips fish' we share the same thoughts of purchasing & i'm happy to own it. i think it's sold out liao.

Dear fellow forummers, here are some pictures of an AutoArt Lamborghini Reventon Production Number 00/20 (Visible only when the whole car is taken apart, which I did to do some interior detailing) Sad to say for an AutoArt, the front hood of the car and one of the flaps were unable to stay up. But this issue has been fixed by myself. Besides that, several details are missing or done wrongly mainly in the interior of the car. Among the errors which I found after comparing to 1:1 interior is the missing of power window switches on the doors, buttons on e-Gear not detailed, Buttons on central console not correct (Side Mirror Ajustors not done, TCS button missing, and a skidding car button is also missing from there). Do enjoy the pictures posted.

thanks... already pm... you guys been a great help

dear car model collectors,

i got a question ..
where usually we can get latest EBBRO supergt car models eh?!
2008/2009 version
any shops that sell these nearby?
or u need to order online?!

quiksilve: Wahlau... You throw out poison after poison ! Fish lips ! I see the lips as belonging to Angelina Jolie's ! Sexy.


myke: I think you can still find the Aston PSP around but it's more difficult than say the LeMans and Sebring versions.


aurion: Nice Reventon and garage pics ! Somehow it's still missing on my wish list. Thanks for the quick feedback on the model. Don't know if I want to pursue further or wait for something better? Anyway, don't know if it's common with other non-signature Autoart series but I also just found out that my Porshe 911 GT3 RSR Autoart front bonnet does not stay open whereas the Maisto one does.

Hey, post some pics of your mod when you're done.


hayashi86: I get my EBBRO stuff online. The latest Super GT cars available from EBBRO is only from 2008. Even that, I believe only the GT500 cars and only some of the GT300. Anyway, I was just starting to collect them until I got sidetrack a little with some other stuff.

For 2009, you need to wait next year unfortunately. They cannot do so fast. But the 2009 Super GT cars should be very interesting indeed.

i'm newbie in this kind of hobby..
start with 1:24 scale 1st..1:18 is quite expensive to me..
plus i'm still unemployed..eheh..

enjoy those pics..

aurion great car how much is ur reventon ?? is it limited ?? y its 0/20 ?
