Thanks, HD!
Did you get taxed at customs for that amount of toys?

Good point. Your question got me worried for a moment, but I did remember the HK does not tax people on such things.

Toys are not dutiable commodities.

From the HK government website:

“HKSAR is a free port and does not levy any Customs tariff on imports and exports. Excise duties are levied only on four types of dutiable commodities, namely:

Liquor
Tobacco
Hydrocarbon Oil
Methyl Alcohol”

Bringing in Megatron in gun mode also does not appear to be an issue - http://www.customs.gov.hk/en/trade_f...rts/index.html

One of the many reasons I love this place. They don't try to fleece you blind and yet the country turns a surplus of $75 billion last year.

Looks like there was more in Osaka that you wanted than i thought!
I don't remember seeing half of that stuff around, did you find some more good places?

I'm still in Japan at the moment but my hauling is done, excepting a Revoltech Ironman coming at the end of the month.
It never looks as impressive following a HD post though, so i'm listing it all out to begin with!

*snip list*

Wow, kurdt, impressive list! Very impressive indeed. What's the blue Valkyrie? It looks a Macross Plus VF-21 (but I am way out of date for Macross). Looks good.

Kurdt, thanks again for the information you provided to me. I know I have yet to officially says thanks and to acknowledge the immense help your information was to me. I will do so in a proper post later and on my blog-site.

There are actually only a few places that really has G1 in Osaka and you mentioned most of them:
1. Hero Gangu
2. G-One Super Position Capsule
3. Entertainment Jungle
4. Mandarake Shisaibanshi (ie: Grand Chaos)
5. Mandarake Umeda (near Sega World and Nep Navio).

I think the one your didn't mention was Entertainment Jungle which is next to the 7-11 next to Hotel Hillarys (ie: across the road from G-One Super Position). They have lots of G1, but some not cheap.

BTW, Hotel Hillarys is in the most awesome location, it's right in the center of shops (1) to (3) and just 1 mins walk from each. Highly recommend.

Nice, HD - customs tax exempt HK

Heh. It's good eh. I understand (but don't quote me) that Singapore is tax exempt up to SGD$10K too. So unless one buys $10,000 or more worth of TFs, there still isn't much to worry about.

You see, now I understand just how much of a constraint you were under whilst living here in Aus when trying to collect.

Lots of Movie toys talk, not enough G1... heh.

These are my hauls from Osaka. Not going to list them at the moment, going to subject you guys to an eye test to pick out the goodies...

picked up DOTM Roadbuster, Crankcase and Sentinel Prime today.

Pretty much got halfway through turning Sentinel into a firetruck and gave up. God knows how the hell he turns into a truck, even with instructions.

It's a VF-22S from Macross 7... based on the YF-21 from Macross Plus.
It is indeed very good, but the red one below is better!

Mondainai! (No problem!

ARG! I saw that place and asked my wife what their sign said they had - she said it only had naughty girls figures Whether their sign was a bit wrong, or my wife was a bit exhausted... i'm not sure! Strangely enough, i was flicking through the latest Hobby Japan today and noticed an advert where they promintently featured some G1 toys... so I had a go at my wife and will wait patiently for next time

So how much did you get classics devy for?

It ended up costing me $160 shipped from the states
