Maybe check Toy Brick Station? Or any other shop. Where did you go that has no stock?

Btw all, TBS restocked on Sanrio

TBS has Magellanic Penguin.

I think there is a higher chance to find the emperor penguin at People's Park OG? But I went there eons ago, so I'm not sure.

Ooo... I see that you get the Sanrio series at a cheap price. Is it from HK too?
Sorry for my poor english. Well, basically all the nanoblock sold in M'sia goes on retail prices. You can find them at the Action City and also Popular Bookstore.

Normally I purchase my nanoblock from the internet. Is there any way you can get them at a lower price? :s22:

You can check AmiAmi (google it) for the standard releases. Stocks are usually available only for pre-orders.

Cheaper (but more troublesome) alternative is to go to amazon.jp, but you will need a freight forwarder for that.

My Sanrio stuff are directly from Japan. My friend visited Japan and bought them there.

Where did your friend bought the Sanrio series? I saw in nanoblock fanpage, it cost 892 jpy. Yours only cost 620 jpy. Do you mind telling me that cause my friend will be going to Japan this November. :)

it's at this place called BIC camera shop. Yeah...it's the cheapest place to get Nanos. I think it's in Shinjuku?

I spoke with another friend yest, who said that Hello Kitty is sold out there already =)

P.s. you might like to post in the Nanoblock Fanpage on FB asking about the exact location of the BIC camera shop.

:eek::eek: Too bad then. I just checked Rakuten's store. The price of nanoblock plus the postage is almost the same with the retail price. :s22:

While TBS offer a better price for the Big Ben (which I'm going to get). But it's out of stock too. :s22:

Quick OT question: Rakuten store is something like Japanese Ebay?

yes somewhat like it. i buy from there sometimes too. else there's yahoo japan auctions too.

The product price looks cheap, but somehow I think the shipping fee is a killer.

Rakuten is like a huge shopping mall containing tons of smaller shops that sells different things.

So when you buy, you are buying from one of those shops.

From your experience, are they better than retail shops?

If you buy a certain qty is better. But the initial hassle will be hard to overcome. I used to ask someone to help me with orders in rakuten. But I don't think she does it anymore.

Amazon.com: 10 Pry Tools Repair Open apple ipod/ iphone: MP3 Players & Accessories

This is similar?
So of the others which are cheaper had killer shipping.


Just finished my Sagrada Famila 2 days ago.

Looking out for the pagoda , any idea where still have stock? VIVO dun have.

pagoda all these...are very very very old stocks...SG also didn't bring in...
not gonna be cheap to get even if can find.

You can:
1) Break the bank and bring it in anyway from overseas (I can ask my supplier to find or you can try and find your own)
2) Buy from eBay/Yahoo Auction Japan (Some will need freight forwarder services)
3) Custom make it by buying the colours from other kits and asking people to scan you the instructions. (If I am not wrong...Jasonovic has the pagoda..)
