ZorClone Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 hey everyone, my brother's taking a trip for two weeks in China, and I'm hoping to get him to pick up a cheap 1/48 (well, cheaper than I can get it) but I don't know where he should go. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Thanks for recommending my services Xtoy! Well, as far as 1/48 goes, you wont have any luck here in Shanghai. I had seen only ONE for sale, a LOW VIS. But it is going for RMB 1800 that is 217 USD, maybe I can get it a bit Cheaper, dunno. So looks like you are pretty screwed. Well, anything you need, just PM me, I will gladly help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF18 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Dude just let him enjoy his own trip. At best you may save $40 for something he need to waste a day to find, and occupy half of a luggage bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZorClone Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 well, I wouldn't have bothered him about it if he weren't so adament about asking what everyone wanted! lol I think my parents are sending him with plenty of money to mail back big packages so he doesn't have to travel with it..

newca Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 there is no boot Yammie in China(I don't think it exist, otherwise it will be sold at ebay already), even a boot Bandai 1/55 is not often seen in Shanghai now. don't wanna talk about too much boot DVDs here, but the price is lower than your can image...
