Yep, confirmed! I visited it last Friday. Even their receipts and plastic bags are labelled Lil's. Binili na ba sila ng Lil's? Unfortunately hindi ko napansin kung meron na rin silang bagong supply ng paints....

That's great news. Better to confirm this with Bull. He might know about it.

As the Borgs would say, "Resistance is futile." I guess AMW took a hint. :-)

Kinuha ko na yung last M3A2 Half-track doon :-) Dang! That was a rare kit. And yes, Lils na ang plastic ng kits nila.

P.S. Tira nyo sa akin yung P-47 (motorized) doon ha :-)

So I heard, and I take this as a "GOOD" sign. Their model kit-selection, paint selection, etc. before was just, "bleh". Old paints, overpriced kits, etc. Just didn't entice me to drive through the horrendous traffic you go through on the Alabang-Zapote stretch.

I do hope they stock up on car kits, too. Hehehe!

Sure it does! Yung paints nila di pa nagrerestock. Sabi nila may next batch of restock sa Monday (bukas). Siguro aayusin na nila yung paints. Medyo konte pa rin yung laman plus yung mga lumang Academy kits nila nandoon pa rin. At buti nagbibigay na sila ng resibo at hindi mo hihingiin.

There were some new Tamiya car kits when I went there last Friday and guess what.... Lil's prices ang car kits nila... woohoo! Got me a Tamiya Porsche 959. Might go back there on Monday.... balikan ko yung Mini Cooper na rally version.

Hmn.... I was wondering last Friday kung bakit walang traffic dun.... I made it to SM from Alabang, browsed through the shop, bought the kit, and got back to Alabang Festival Mall.... all within 30 mins. Now that's incredible!

Oh, hehehe. I'll try hold off some purchases for now. Plus I'm taking a bit of a hiatus from modelling for this term, dahil sa thesis.

Thanks for the info, anyways. I'm trying to save up for the large scale Testarossa sa Nova Fontana, kaya baka unahin ko yun hehe!

If I'm not mistaken, nasa 1/16 or 1/10. I have to verify. Hehehe!

Baka kasi ipamigay o tanggalin sa shelf yung kit, medyo matanda na kasi hehe..

How is that Porsche kit? How much did you get it for? Meron bang mga Skyline, or WRC-themed cars? Hmmm...

No Traffic along the Alabang-Zapote!! WOW! Himala. Kadire kaya traffic dun.

The kit looks great! And it's not curbside.... woohoo! Dunno if it was locally made but the instruction manual states that it was printed locally. Got it for PhP 495.00 which is pretty acceptable to me considering how much the others (Fujimi curbsides) cost.

Yep I saw a Skyline but I think it wasn't the street version. Also saw the Subaru WRC car.

Himala talaga nung Friday na hindi ako na-traffic. Believe me when I say that I was surprised! It usually takes me 30 mins to an hour just to get there from Alabang.

On that note, kpag nakakita na kau ng mga "LAS PINAS CITY TRAFFIC AIDES" (naka green top, black pants....), expect super duper heavy to the max traffic...

Usually, pagnakalampas ka na ng T.S. Cruz, OK na...Hnde na ganun ka-bagal yung usad...(papuntang Alabang yun a...) Pero kung papunta ka nmng SM, nakoo problema tlga yan.....>:(

Ako, hnde nmn namo-moblema...^_____^ Lalabas lng ako ng bahay, sasakay ng trike, at voila!!! SM SOUTHMALL na!!!

According to Bull, AMW is gradually being assimilated by Lil's, hence the different look. But the owner will still be around.

That's indeed good news for us south-dwelling modelers who had to endure the traffic at South Super highway and EDSA.

How I wish there would be a way to decongest traffic at the SM Southmall area.

Daan ka ng Pilar. May shortcut doon. It cut's traffic. Instead of 30-60 mins in the Alabang Zapote road, it will take you only about 15-30 mins :-). Kung galing ka naman sa Zapote, daan ka sa BF. It also cuts down the 1 hour trip to SM to only 15 mins!!

Ako rin! Isang trike lang tsaka konteng lakad, SM na!!!

To AMW... dagdagan nyo naman Tamiya Shermies, M3s, and motorized prop ACs nyo!! Trip ko yung P-47 Bubbletop. Kaso nag-iisa na lang! PLEASE SPARE THAT KIT!!!

Nice to hear you were able to get a good "deal", hehe! Well as always, Tamiya just punishes the competition with its engineering -- swerte ha, hindi curb-side. Hehe!

Car-modeller ka ren pala cbrain? Galing ah, hindi ko alam yun! Patingin naman iba mong works.

Which Subaru WRC Car was there? If you chance upon a WRC Subaru Arai version, I'd recommend the kit highly, galing pa nang decals which come with the kit -- which essentially means medyo magaling ka dapat mag lapat nang decals, haha! Which I'm not, unfortunately. So I'm putting the kit aside, for now.

Which Skyline did you see? I'm currently on the look out for the Calsonic Skyline and the Pennzoil Skyline, blue and yellow respectively.

On the bit on Fujimi, well I think I've voiced out my theory on how the things are priced on another thread. Hehe! Pero IMO sulit pa ren yung binabayaran mo talaga if you're on the hunt for really nice import cars. Pag dating sa European cars, or WRC/GT/F1 cars, sulit pa ren para sa akin ang Tamiya. Bar None.

On a side note. The Hobby Shop in Shangri-La Edsa Mall seems to be stocking up on car kits, and AFV kits, too. Though a bit limited, still it's nice to know when you drop by Shang, may mapupuntahan na tayo na "lugar". Most of their car kits are VW Beetles, I even saw a Hasegawa kit. Most of them are priced at Fujimi-prices, though, plus most of them are a bit old; but if you're a VW afficionado then you might want to drop by that shop, too.

Until now I'm still lost when it comes to the number of floors Shangri-La has, but if I'm not mistaken it's 2 floors from the Computer-Stuff-Floor. Maybe Fritz can help clear things up, since I believe he studys just around the corner.

About your shortcut, alas the first one, works for Pilar residents, and wait, come to think of it so does the second suggestion!! GRR! Hehe! It's a pretty crazy thing to do, well if you were me, to go from the bicutan-service-road (which is already the Nth level of hell to be able to clear, both going out to bicutan proper, and going out to the sucat interchange), and proceeding to go through sucat-road traffic, and pres. aguirre ave. traffic and finally the length of the road (which is most of the times traffic) out to alabang zapote! Hehe! Double the gas yun, in my case.



The name of the shop btw is: Hobby hehehe...Argh!

Not really dude. You just got to have a Friendship sticker. Di nga lang sa likod ng Pilar labas mo. Alam mo yung 7-11 na katapat yung Jollibee? Doon ka lalabas pag wala kang sticker ng Pilar.

and wait, come to think of it so does the second suggestion!! [/qoute]

Same with above (I think). Friendship sticker din ata dito. Labas mo Moonwalk Village (hint hint ) tapos pasok ka Royal South -> Pilar tapos labas ka rin doon sa may 7-11 :-)
