[WTS] Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha Nendoroid

aikallex — Wed, 02 May 2018 21:18:39 +0800

Selling off my Naruto Nendoroids in a bundle. RM340 for both Naruto and Sasuke WITH POSTAGE included.

Info: I bought these Nendoroids from Lunar Toy Store (US) because these Nendoroids aren't available for sale in Japan due to licensing restriction from Bandai. GSC decided to publish the Nendos outside of Japan under Viz Media, the US Naruto license holder. If you want proof of it's authenticity, I can provide the receipt from the emails. Total I paid including shipping was 110.23 USD (Roughly RM440+ at the time).

Condition: Box is a bit dusty but I've cleaned it. I've never displayed these Nendos, I only opened them once during the arrival and they've been put back in their boxes ever since.

Postage: Included in total, ships to SEM and S/S. Postage is by Poslaju. No COD unless you live in Jitra, Kedah.

Please send me a message if you're interested or want to inquire about these nendos.

Looking for local Gempak Starz comics. Mostly for older comics only because I can still get the newer ones at store. But PM me if you have anything at all for sale, might be interested.

Looking for old gempakstarz comics?

aikallex — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 00:42:14 +0800

Hi.. I feel like collecting gempakstarz again.. Im looking for the older gempak starz comics and art books now. If u got anything to let go please PM me. If not please recommend bookstores that sell them in your area.

Nowadays its really hard to find the older books. Most recent books by Gempak are either trashy 4 panel "lawak" (not) comics, adventure series or japanese shoujo mangas. Very lame compared to their older stuff Its a shame I used to collect Gempak and Utopia magazines back in the days. They had so many talented artists like Cicak, Puppeteer, Totoro, C2V, Slaium, Kenny Chuah, and so on.. Nowadays bought gempak books really dont have the same feel.

Ps I think many got confused. I'm looking for Gempak Starz graphic novels. Not the gempak or starz magazines.

Quota run out soo fast lately...

aikallex — Sat, 20 Jun 2015 21:38:12 +0800

I've bought the 150MB quota pas for 1 day Mobile Internet plan since the Monsterbyte Promo has ended. I didn't download/upload anything apart from playing an online game..
8:27PM - Bought pas mobile internet
8:43PM - You've used 80% of your 150MB quota.
8:46PM - You've used 100% of your 150MB quota

What is with this?? That's barely 20 minutes... And it happened since 2 to 3 days ago. I thought I've been mistaken, I even bought this 150MB 1 day pas for two times today (and that's RM6)

Before it went smoothly.. even with 150MB if I do nothing but play an online game, it'll last for atleast 6 to 8 hours. But now it won't even last for 30 minutes.. to think I have to spend RM3 for this is unacceptable..

Is there's any reason for this??

Paypal Verification Codes

aikallex — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 20:07:21 +0800

Hello!

I assume many of you here started an online Paypal account in the past, so I hope I can get some help to clear all my confusions! I am very new to online business and whatnot. I thought this is my time to start something new. Enough with that, lets get to the point;

I thought I wanted to ask a couple of questions about Paypal and CIMB Bank users are preferred to answer some of these questions.

1) I have a CIMB debit card, and I have money on that card. I registered an account on Paypal and stated my account information to the required fields. I never knew that I didn't "link" my CIMB Bank account with Paypal yet. Is it because I am an unverified registered member?

2) So yesterday, I went ahead and request for the verification/confirmation code. RM10 was charged from me (they would refund the exact amount to my Paypal account after I am done with the confirmation). Then up until now (today, 13/11) I still haven't receive the "4-digit" confirmation code. So I'm wondering how long it does it takes for them to deliver you the confirmation code? I should not be worry because they've stated that the could should be sent to my "Bank Statements" in 1 to 3 working days it's just that I'm wondering how long did you wait for the code.

Also, where exactly do we check the statement? can we check them online using our bank's official banking website or do we literally need to go the bank? After I confirmed/verified my account can I buy online directly using Paypal without the need to put my debit card information?

Thank you for your time, your help are much appreciated.

SPEEDY Unlicensed Merchandise (Figures and Goods)

SPEEDY Unlicensed Merchandise (Figures and Goods)

aikallex — Sun, 29 Jun 2014 02:59:34 +0800

*Hope I posted this in the appropriate section, if not please kindly move this thread elsewhere, thank you!

This is a post direct to, Speedy Video Distributors Sdn. Bhd. and as reminder for everyone.

Okay I am really ashamed to have to post this, but I have to. Yesterday, I was at Penang, went to Speedy store and found this model:

Hatake Kakashi G.E.M. Series ver.2 (MegaHouse)
.. at a very surprisingly low price. That is RM89.90. It's been awhile since the last time I bought anime figures, so I immediately decided to buy him. After the purchase, I really love this figure. Then I do a little research about this figure on my computer. Then I found out that the Japan official price for this item is actually ¥7800 (JP yen). Now you can compare the official price with mine, that costs RM89.90. Do the math. You can say I'm not well educated about the converting calculation in prices, but I know EXACTLY that 7000 yen is way, way higher than RM89.90. Shocked, I searched for tips to detect bootlegs (fakes merchandise). Many suggested that we should look for the official hologram stickers on boxes. So I checked mine and I could not find the sticker. Not one..

At first, it is quite hard for me to believe that I've just bought a bootleg thinking, "Why would Speedy distribute unlicensed merchandises?". Being skeptical, I posted a thread along with the pictures of my figurine in the forum "MyFigureCollection", a person pointed out that, "You don't need to look for many defects, just compare the seam lines, there's almost none (or very few) on the original, but on yours there are "visible" seam lines on almost every part.". Taken to account, I agree with this. Other thing I noticed is the hair, the hair is not as spiky and as pointy as shown in the picture of the original figure. The paint work for the vest is also dull and off.

(Left is my bootleg figure, while the right one is the official product.)
The differences are really minor at first glare. Then you will notice something off in the left picture compared to the right picture. The hair for example, it's so chunky. Also look at the paint works for the vests and shirts. We get lower quality of color for the left one. And many other flaws you can detect on the left picture. The differences might by obvious to some consider how the official product were photographed by professionals and mine is only by camera phone.

At the moment knowing I've purchased a bootleg. I feel very bitter. Disappointed, and even more disappointed knowing that the distributor for this illegal unlicensed merchandise is Speedy Video Distributors Sdn. Bhd.. For a known company that distributes legal DVDs, VCDs and CDs like Speedy to distribute unauthentic merchandise like this is unforgivable. Makes me question are the DVDs on their stores are actually licensed? Are the other merchandises such as Doraemon, Madoka Magika figures, and etc are also bootlegs? I've lost my trust on Speedy. I need to get in contact with someone from Speedy to discuss about this matter as soon as possible. (If some of you know ways to contact them, please let me know, your help would be much appreciated). Clearly this is not just for my benefit, but also for their future customers. And this post is a reminder to everyone.

Side note, actually, despite not being official. Despite having some annoying seam lines, slight paint work errors. Despite being a bootleg, I really love this figure. Not only did the bootleggers pays attention to the sculptures, they put effort to the folds of shirts, backbones and many more. I don't think I regret buying this figure because the quality is still there. His face is painted delicately. Even someone who actually owned the official version of this product on MyFigureCollection doubting that this figure is a bootleg stating: "...despite those small differences it still looks pretty much legit.It looks too good to be a bootleg.". Finally, here's some of the pictures of my new figure, I've taken yesterday.
**THIS IS ANOTHER STORY. NOTE THAT THIS CLEARLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BITTERNESS FOR SPEEDY. I AM INDEED, STILL MAD AT SPEEDY.**
