Default Anyone in the Hong Kong area?

I've noticed a lot of my purchases in the Hong Kong area have free shipping to Canada. I was wondering if anyone here was in that area and could look something up for me?

I'm trying to buy this product for my collection. The following link will not ship to Canada (sucks to be me hehe).

http://www.robotoys.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=1838

I can't seem the find anything here without paying a ridiculous amount for shipping. I'm really only interested in the Max Jenius VF-1J, though if you also get a REALLY good price on the three pack I'd like to see that price as well.

I can pay by PayPal to ensure payment security. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

That would be cool! Trying to track down that toy without paying more in shipping than what it's worth AND actually being able to deliver it here to Canada has been a nightmare!

I have a trip to Shanghai in a few weeks. Most anything you can get in HK you can find there, but not always the case in Beijing.

Shanghai trip got cancelled. Sorry Bin.

Recommendation: Have a USA person buy it for you from the website, have it sent to their home and than obtain how much it will cost to ship from their area to yours. Then you Paypal them the money and they ship it off.

There is also the chance that even if I went to HK or Shanghai, it might not be as easy to obtain as you think. Made in China stuff for use outside China = Apples and Made in China stuff for us in China = Oranges. Typically stuff like that toy might actually be a "grey market" item in the same league as unlocked Iphones. The initial asking price will be high. It can be haggled down but if I go through a bunch of trouble to locate and then bargain down, I might want a finders fee.

Sorry, Binny.

Actually I managed to get in contact with one of the buyers I normally deal with in Hong Kong. Got it for $45 shipping included, VERY happy
