Okay, This is for Transformers and Mightgain/Brave fans that are looking for items.... These are current toys on the market now. I have the catalogues from Sonokong which show a far bigger range but still looking for a retail outlet that has the lot and doesnt overcharge (unlike Lotte World which caters to tourists, is WAY OVERPRICED and has the entire catalogue in stock for example) www.wawatoy.com - click the corporate icon of Sonokong- scrowl down the page the corporate logos are on the left. Right column 5th from the top is Sonokong www.toymart.co.kr - click boy toys in the category section. Same fees apply... see last post for details. |

Checked up www.toymart.co.kr , have a good selection of korean RID transformers, but sh8t ... korean sucks  . I pasted the link in the altavista translator but didn`t help too much. Can anyone (korean speaker) dig into the page and figure out about shipping prices to PERU - South America?  The brave - gao gai stuff rocks too, but the plastic in the toys look a little cheap. Does anyone have info about the die - cast content of these toys ? |

Dude, you'll have many problems trying to order from a Korean store to get something sent anywhere outside of Korea. If you want to try then go ahead but, you'll see that's why I offer this buyer service. Step 1 Take the item and add these costs... 25% of the total cost of the items 5,000KW delivery charge within Korea to me Step 2 Now add the price for postage listed below- if you want one thing use 2.5 KGs as the weight if you want two things use 5kgs. Remember that Korean boxes are usually bigger than normal and add weight- if you dont want the boxes the weight and cost for postage comes right down! Shipping prices here- Seamail- U.S.A. Sth America, Can, Europe, England+Ire. 8 weeks 2kg- 13,000KW 4kg- 17,000KW 6kg- 21,000KW 8kg- 25,000KW 20KG- 48,000KW Airmail- U.S.A +Sth America., Can, Eur, Eng+Ire. 10 days 0.5kg- 14,000KW 1KG - 19,000KW 1.5KG- 24,000KW 2.0KG- 29,000KW 6KG- 63,000KW 9KG- 82,200KW 12KG- 97,200KW *Minimum order is 25,000 Korean won **I'll have to break big boxes open and repack if the box is too big because Korea post has maximum size regulations. *** Insurance is required at approx 12,000kw for every extra 100,000kw for articles over 99,000Korean won in value. ***** Please make sure you tell me exactly where things are on which site and name them/describe them. step 3 email me at aristotlespode@yahoo.co.uk for payment details. I reside in Seoul and can answer most questions ;D about buying anything from within Korea (though I dont want to buy running 1994 25,000KW Hyundais for people ). |

Nench,
There is almost no die-cast in any of the Brave toys (I've only got one toy with any in out of a couple of dozen), but the plastic that is useed is generally good quality ABS plastic which feels nice, weighty and solid in the hand.

Well, believe it or not for the price you'd spend on those parts you could find a used 94 Elantra here (for free!) and the money would pay for about a quarter of a shipping container to Sth America.
You'd need to pay for half a container to fit a car in.
Yep, Sth Korea has the worst attitude to disposability in the world and I've had people offer me their working cars for free rather than paying for gas to drive it to a wrecking yard!!!
It's so bad and used cars are SOOO cheap that AFKN (TV for U.S. troops in Korea) has adverts reminding people not to just dump their cars anywhere but to drive it to a disposal area! I kid you not.
Ad for special parts it aint worth it for old Korean cars but, if you really want stuff let me know what exactly. There are plenty of online stores but no pictures though so I'd have to get a friend to help read and order.
