[Official] Nanoblock Thread

Hahaha. If not I don't know what else to collect Liao leh. The rest if order overseas is quite ex leh. Anyway, I just saw plenty of rabbit at compasspoint metro sia.

honestly. is really not ex. in fact, might be even cheaper than buy in SG...provided we get enough people!

Basically this is how it works.
Buy stuff from one store in Rakuten -> Freight Forwarding Service -> Item comes to person ordering

I was too lazy in the past and ordered through someone (who used to post on this thread in the early days). I would pay a flat commission admin fee to the person too. Overall, I still end up paying less for each piece that I would when it came in SG - not to mention the ability to buy the common designs that are not out in SG.

saw this at Kino, $46.40

the packaging is very light, but thick because of the plastic box they use. the book itself is quite thin

another bummer is there're 2 ways of assembling the panda (Ling Ling & Hsing Hsing), but you can only choose one, not both.

Ling Ling & Hsing Hsing are diplomatic pandas btw

Kino + member = $36 I think...not sure. Ask Lilrex or scroll back 10 pages or so in the thread haha..
I made a mistake by using EMS to get mine. so I paid about $56 for mine. If I used SAL it would prob be under $40.

As for where to buy nanoblocks...you can try online order lor
it depends if you want cheaper/convenience/variety

TRU and AC in Singapore is convenient (due to the locations and number of outlets) but is at the normal Recommended Retail Pricing.

Ordering online you get variety and might be cheaper with bulk orders. However definitely not very convenient. There are some stalls with exceptions though...

ToyBrickstation (which I frequent) is cheaper for the standard pieces and they do parallel imports, so they have variety. The parallel imports are usually not cheap but they are quite inconvenient to get to - at Serene Centre.

Yup, usually the already assembled parts will be in "darker tones" or "lighter tones", or other colors that likely would enable us to mix up with the current step that we are going to make.

ok thanks moi first time do nanoblock see till blur blur

Actually, ToyBrickstation is a very convenient location as its beside Botanic Gardens Circle Line Station. 3-4 stops from Bishan

yep...all the retailers (Action City, Toys R US, NTUC etc.) in SG get their supplies from the same supplier.

So when one in, all will be in.
