Hello again, I'm browsing through online stores, ebay and stuff, just seeing prices on PGs (as my next gundam will NOT be a MG), and I've found this place which has the PG Zeta at 163.48 U$S... cheaper than HLJ! O.o; calculating shipping for 5 KG to south america (like U$S 60!), it's still cheaper than buying it from say tisinc or some other north american company, which usually offers me cheaper shipping (the zeta is U$S 220 at tisinc without shipping, and they're out of stock). The store is this one: www.toyking.com.tw/shop/catalog3e.asp?CategoryID=315&Style=1&wnum=3I'm not keen on ordering stuff this expensive from places I don't know (I only take my chances on ebay cause I read the feedback), so I wanted to know if any of you know of this place... Thanks :-)

yes. its in taiwan, ive ordered many gundams and zoids from there. great store and prices ![:)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/smiley.png) i do reconmend buying from them but you should think again about buying a pg zeta. i have one and i think it looks great but being the 3rd perfect grade there are many defects. the one greatest defect being that you cannot pose it. it is just too big and bulky and falls over. the transformation is nice but in the waverider pose some pieces cannot bear the great weight. many of my pieces have broke and also the lighting isnt that great. theres so much wiring involved and it can get messed up. so think again before buying pg zeta. nice kit but not worth it for durability. i guess its good if you just want to let it sit there on your self to pose cuz it looks hot. zeta owns, specially with its light up beam sabre. just warning you that pieces wear and joints wear and it can barely hold any pose. get a pg strike if you dont have one. great durability and can really do any pose you want. mine even fell off the cabnet and still not broken pieces. the best pg ever

Thank you! Now I know where I will be buying from next (unless I get some hot deal at ebay or something). I'm thinking about buying a PG, I'm unsure if I should gor for the MKII or the GP01 now (since you've said so many bad things about the Zeta). I won't be getting a WZC (it's smaller, don't like those wings so much...) or the zakus (never liked the zeon suits, save the kaempfer), or the rx-78 (don't like the design so much) any time soon though... But I do have the Strike, and I'm loving it! ;D ![:-*](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/kiss.png) Recommendations are welcome :-) (and excuse me, admins, for changing the topic ![::)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/rolleye.png) )

Hi Bleen.
I am also considering ordering from ToyKing and if you have ordered from them, could you give me some feedback. Also, did they package well.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I got the same price from another HK seller on Ebay, so I never ordered from there... I also got a WZC from Ebay at a good price, so my ToyKing experience is, for the moment, delayed... if you do order from them, I'd be glad to hear YOUR comments. :-)

Hi Bleen,
Was originally going to order some stuff from ToyKing until my normal supplier in HK informed me today that he can't ship my order by airmail due to the size and have to change to EMS, so I may just order the things from him instead as he is having a sale now till end of June.
If I do order from ToyKing in future will let you know.
