Hi guys
I'm just wondering about Kits in Japan, is it cheaper rather in states or anypart of the world?

and if theres any good hobbystore in Tokyo can you tell me where is the place

and also hobbyshop around singapore, which one is more reasonable price ?

thks

in Japan you can try hobby link japan
or try these in hong kong,
lucky model
hobby easy
kits are cheaper just weight up the shipping charges before ordering umnless your actually going there

hi

if you are looking for Dragon figures and kits, there is the one and only shop called Timemachine-studio at Millenia Walk. The dragon kits sold there are really cheap! 39.90 for a KT and now they are having an offer on the new T34/76 for just 30 bucks! The shop is located at the first floor

Near Millenia Walk, there is another shopping centre (just have to walk, its just a stone throw away) called Marina Shopping centre. On the 2nd floor you can find "Miniature Hobby"... wide range of kits from all brands with reasonable prices!

Well, since you're at the place.. you can go check out the tourist spots like the esplanade and currently there is a carnival there.. have fun

oh..sorry here are the sites :
TimeMachine studio = www.timemachine-studio.com

Miniature hobby = www.miniaturehobby.com

hey hey.. i saw singapore!!

there is another hasegawa heaven in this shop called Central Hobby in Centerpoint along Orchard
another good place to try is Hobby point found at suntec city and tiong bahru plaza.

i am willing to be a guide during the weekends!!

hi Leopold

seriously, i do not like going to suntec's hobby point. The attitude of the staff there leaves little to be desired and they know NUTS about modelling

Tiong Bahru Plaza's is so much better

oh you forgot to mention the shop at specialist centre, just right opposite centrepoint, the dealer for Italeri

Yes and no.

Yes:
Tamiya, DML and all other Eastern manufacturers.

No:
Revell and all other Western manufacturers.

I personally found Singapore-lah's modellers some of the most friendly and knowledgable blokes that I've EVER met.

The shop at Sun-tec City had the best prices for Dragon and in particular their reference material was VERY cheap.

My folks work in KL (Malaysia) for the next few years and my adopted family are Singaporean so I try and get back there as many times as I can.

Great people, great modellers, great food! GO SINGAPORE - LAH! :-)

LUCKY MODEL HAS GREAT PRICES,
but what are the shiping costs
if its more then 10 bucks to ship tehn its not even worth it, just have your lhs get it for u

Tazz:

That's the rub...shipping costs. I ordered from the Hobby easy that advertises on our site here but all I was looking for was 4 gun tubes. Costs $4 shipping airmail. Since I saved $3-4 a tube and shipping was actually $3 less tha the set price of $7 from most dealers here, I made out like a bandit. Full sized kits will eat you alive!!!! You'll save but then the shipping will put you right bak where you wre at. or if its real big or heavy...U R Skunked.

thks forthe response folks, i will write it down, next time i come to singapore i try to check out this store

and how about Tamiya delaer in Singapore? is there any ?
How about Japan, anyone here ever come to Japan and buy Tamiya KIts in Japan?, is it cheaper?

well hoppy point in tiong bahru has the most variety in terms of tamiya stuffs in singapore.
and yes..i totally agree with you spirits eye

G'day mate, yes Tamiya kits are cheap in Japan. If you look at the side of the box you will see the Yen price, that is what you will pay in Japan at most. if you are going to Tokyo, then you have to go to Tachikawa, you will be at the Rail station, Look for the Mcdonalds outside and go towards it. About a block from the Micky d's will be a Great hobby store, on the left, It is only a block from the station, so you cant miss it, awesome prices. If you need more help let me know, also Okinawa has great prices, if you ever come here let me know, I know all the shops here, very very cheap

well..to give you a rough idea.. the new Chally 2 cost about 50 SGD or the sdfk 222 cost about 22 SGD
