I've bought
Master Grade Gundam: Gundam Exia Ignition Mode and Figma Asahina Mikuru Fighting Waitress Version in this month (July 09). It costs about $150, that is from my pocket....Sigh ! It surely burns my saving pocket. Well, it is my hobby after all. Plus i don't care....My hobby is more better than my saving pocket.
Figma Asahina Mikuru Fighting Waitress Version
As shown, this is Figma Asahina Mikuru Fighting Waitress Version.

I am not sure that you've heard of
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" in Anime. It was very rarely seen in public. But only Anime Otakus and few Anime fans know about it. It is even little known in only Japan. Well, i am not interested in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" in Anime. I prefer Toys to Animes, lah.
This is from
HobbySearch website, which is created in Japan because this HobbySearch website is most safe, popular and reliable. Well, it is well-known to Anime Otakus and Anime fans only. Also there are
HobbyLink Japan website. Eh ? I think that HobbySearch is cheaper than HobbyLink Japan. Also don't be deceived by "cheap prices" because there are EMS (Express Mail Service) shipping costs, which could be expensive ! Not only this but it will add to shopping prices. It says
"More weight, More expensive". Example: 0.5kg=SGD$25 and 5kg=SGD$95 for shipping to Singapore. Be reminded that so many different of prices depending on Japan market and every different countries. There are so many different of services. EMS Delivery is one of all services and also most expensive of all. I have to admit that it is very good because I've received it in just 2-3 days. Because there are tracking log in EMS internet. Like this, my mail was be ready to sent in first day, then fall into Japan Airlines' hand and then fly to Singapore in 2nd day, then i just got it in morning in 3rd day. If you really want it cheaper, you have to order via lousy delivery service. It just say
"More cheaper, More Longer Waiting" again. I think it uses "Ship via Water" and you perhaps get yr mail in more than 15 days or even 1 month. You try view it as "SNAIL"

This is what i got in morning.

This is EMS Delivery Service.

Opened....It seems protect Figma Toy Box.
You will not see this PVC Figure in everywhere. There are one or two shops, that had very few stocks in whole Singapore. I've bought only rare PVC Figure because i actually treat it as "first test". What "first test" means ? Well, it is
my first time to order and buy something from overseas website via internet. Right...I do just "Online Shopping". Because i am recently newbies to my POSB MasterCard Debit so that I have to try using POSB MasterCard for online shopping. If it succeed, i can continue shopping online. I am already well aware of danger (Steal money, hack and etc) and different price (Money converter). So I have to be extra careful to shop online. Well, it is very successful to use POSB MasterCard Debit for online shopping. So I think POSB MasterCard Debit can be used online within any overseas. I don't know but you have to try yourself. POSB MasterCard Debit is just treated as MasterCard Credit Card.
I remember that I've applied "POSB MasterCard Debit" in 3rd or 4th week of June 09. After 2 weeks, I've received POSB MasterCard Debit via mail and then I am happy to get it like this. Thanks to my sworn brother, I had been advised for so much details of UOB, Citibank, OCBC Bank and etc. I've chosen POSB MasterCard Debit because there are two advantages: I am able to buy online shopping from overseas and local and my MasterCard debit will be already linked to my POSB saving passbook account. So I will apply OCBC Visa Debit Card in future when only i start work. I don't want to apply Credit Card because I only fear being pulled into hell debt. Not only this but if you don't bother credit card by any means (Loss of credit card or fraudulent), you may end up paying more than SGD$10K.
(It is said that cardholders must have his duty to take care of its card and his burden of repayment). So Debit Card is better than Credit Card in almost 100% safe mode but Credit Card is better than Debit Card in spending mode, right ? XD
Only for Debit CardBe Importantly Advised: You need to separate into two accounts: primary ( Treat it as your Saving Passbook) and secondary ( Treat it as Wallet) accounts in POSB in order to prevent your $$$ money stealing or gone. Being safe is better than being sorry.Or you can use two accounts in different Banks : OCBC Bank and POSB Bank ( Like this, you treat two accounts as your Saving Passbook and Wallet.)

I just happen to take a stroll in Sim Lim Square for 2 hours...Because i walk in circle in each level. I really not buy any thing and take a look on electronics things. Yeah...It really sounds as if i waste my time but i don't mind.After this, i gonna check there whether "THE THING" is there or not. Right...This is Sunshine Plaza, along Bencoolen St road. I just drop in Hobby Art Gallery shop. I searched for MG Gundam and found it while i don't gonna ask its seller because she is too busy to talk via call ! I just wait for her and then ask for MG Gundam 's price.
Not bad ! After some thought, it is just little cheaper. Perhaps it is first time to sell cheap. As shown picture, it shows "Premium Price". No wonder.....At first time, I actually thought that it cost over $100 because MG Gundam is little special. There are two types of MG Gundam Exia:
Master Grade Gundam Exia (cheap) and
Master Grade Gundam Exia Ignition Mode (expensive). Then I decide to buy this for now because it is cheaper. If I wait longer, I may buy at original price: over $100. I am perhaps lucky because i just saw just 3 stocks in hidden store in Hobby Art Gallery shop. There are one show stock and other hidden stocks.
After this, I want to take a stroll again in Funan DigitalLife Mall. One man, who i had known, happen to see me carrying MG Gundam Exia in Game Shop. We chatted about this. One man is surprised about its price and told me that he had ordered on MG Gundam Exia via online at $150 (MG Gundam plus shopping cost...Not sure). I am surprised again to hear. Nevermind.....I will build this MG Gundam in maybe November or December 09 because I had stored several unbuilt MG Gundams in my room.
This is end ! Thanks for reading.
