Ebay mate. Simple as that. US$35 seems a bit high for that model.

.....There is at least one diecast seller on eBay in Singapore. Quite a few not all that far away in Hong Kong. You'll pay less on eBay than retail and once you get some bargains you'll never want to buy retail again unless it is either something rare or extremely popular and likely not to be seen on eBay for a long time if ever. If it is economical for me (in the USA) and collectors in Europe to buy from Singapore/Hong Kong/Taiwan/PRC sellers, it certainly would be for you as well.

Does the price includes shipping? As I know shipping from US to this part of the world cost about USD12-15. Search for Pureplane on this forum. He is your link to this hobby in Singapore.

AFAIK you can arrange with him to meet somewhere to pass you the items. You should contact him directly.

Yup, pureplane is reliable and has a lot of models to start with. Prices are reasonable too. You can meet him at MRT stations or somewhere else and he will pass you the model planes. He can be reached at pureplane@hotmail.com.
