Hi guys,
Thanks for showing all the spaceship & others, I used to like x wing, TIE fighter and millenium falcon when I'm a kid, though I said I have other priorities I still enjoy watching how its like to be openning the box and see all the parts, and putting them all together, its really cool. Must be pretty expensive ;D

Must be pretty expensive ;D Retails for around RM1,600(non-signature edition) in Malaysia. Can get for less on ebay but the shipping is a killer. If detained by customs, more headache and fees...

I get all my Code 3 stuff (ships and posters) directly from Code 3 themselves so yeah, it's expensive what with shipping and all. But they allow a 5 month installment payment plan which is why I buy directly from them.

Cheers The only toys I order online are Code 3 ships and yes, I've been taxed for all 7 ships (6 ships actually but I bought the TIE Advanced twice...regular and Signature edition).
The tax was between RM130-RM150 per ship. For the first 5 ships I had to go to KLIA myself but after that Code 3 used Fedex for all their orders so for the subsequent vehicles Fedex did all the paperwork and claimed the tax from me when they delivered the parcel to my door

Oh, in that case, isn't it better to transport them via a shipping agent? I don't think you'll be taxed if you used an agent...but don't quote me on that. I'm just assuming
I hope you kept the Code 3 boxes the ships came in...including the styrofoam. But you're a collector, so of course you did. ;D

Is it confirmed that Code 3 is not doing any star wars stuff anymore? Haven't heard about anything new Not quite true. This year they're just doing the posters. Next year...who knows. I hope they release a couple more vehicles. Posters are nice, but Code 3 is a die cast company and should stick with die cast.
There was a rumour earlier this year saying Code 3 was quitting. That turned out to be a hoax. They went through a change of management, I think. I hope they're not quitting yet. They have the Star Wars license until 2008. Two more years is enough to churn out at least three more vehicles. Come on Code 3!!
