Does anyone know any e-tailer that ships RPTV to international location? I have check with so many but all of them does not ship to international location eg. Singapore.

Your best bet is to call a US-based dealer on the phone,
and arrange custom international shipping for your specific
order.
You'll probably pay quite a bit, though! :)

Can you name me any US-based dealer that you know of and their phone # and email address?

I doubt if you will find a U.S. etailer who will do this. Chances are the shipping will make it not worth it unless you are dying to have a particular model. You will also probably lose any warranty you would have gotten.
As Michael suggested, try a regular dealer over the phone. Go to the manufacturer's web site, use the dealer locator to find a B&M store. They may do it. The shipping will cost a fortune as these sets are heavy.
You may want to consider buying from HK, Japan or Taiwan.
I don't know what your HT setup is going to be, but have you considered using a projector? Much smaller and easier to ship. -smile-

Nekobus, Michael do you know of any B&M dealer in US that I can contact and their email/website ? I have considered using a LCD projector but a good one like Sony VPL-VW10HT cost about US$6K. It is not an affordable option right now and would be my last option.

You can look up dealers by checking the dealer locators on the manufacturers' web sites(ie. www.toshiba.com, etc).
I hate to say this, but because of the shipping cost for such a large item, you might be better off to purchase and LCD projector. The LT150, which many people like, can be had for around $2400US. Check out the LCD projector forums at www.avsforum.com and www.hometheaterspot.com.

Why do you hate to say it? The front projection system is a great idea for anyone considering a $2500+ TV purchase.

You should check Advance Logic - you may want to call them - their phone number is listed on the www page. I'm sure they could arrange international shipping for you

I have nothing against front projection. I wrote that("I hate to say it")because the original poster seems to really want an RPTV. IMHO, a front projection system is actually the way to go if Samsuri really wants to order from a U.S. retailer. It's way cheaper and better than trying to ship a large RPTV all the way to Singapore.
Heck, the search for an LCD projection system seems to me to be a perfect excuse for a shopping trip to HK, Taiwan or Japan. -smile-
