>>135705107
Didn't have any problems with customs yet, all my packages got through.

Guys, does AmiAmi reuse parcel registration numbers for EMS? I'm freaking out right now because I plugged in the RN to the USPS tracker and apparently my package traveled back in time and was delivered to/signed for by some fuccboi in Florida.

They shouldn't as they get a new one for every parcel they send from JapanPost.
Better ask support if they fucked up somewhere.

Amiami unless exclusive, then N-Y. I bought some stuff off resellers (Ixu, Figuya) -- never again.

>>135708406
I actually mostly buy from shops here in Germany, in the end that is still cheaper than dealing with customs

Is there any site where I can somewhat accurately calculate ems shipping costs? I found one, but it really seems too cheap.

>>135708453
It's barely cheaper but easily takes 2 months more. Not worth it.

>>135708469

>>135708406
>>135708453
Amiami is cheaper than Figuya most of the time, only very few figures like Kotobukiya stuff is cheaper in germany.

>>135708518
I´m a patient man.

>>135708545
I still haven't fully assembled her, actually. Still need to paint and glue some remaining parts.

It's pretty straightforward though. Everything sorta fits together.

>>135708681
I actually think it's going to be fun and some new skills that I can learn, I just haven't found the time yet.

>>135708698
That sentence got fucked up. Tired.

Fuck. I usually dont come here often unless theres a hype release but i made a fucking stupid mistake this time.

I was preordering figs off amiami, as usual, and I went and looked at one (that i wasnt planning on buying) and I guess, added it to the cart on impulse, because i usually already know what figs im buying and dont wade around in all the things they have. Anyway, i fucked up, and went all the way to confirming the order. I didnt even realise i fucked up until i went and read over my conformation emails today.

Anyway, Can i cancel an preorder with amiami? It doesnt come out for months but their site specifically says you cant cancel orders... I swear I heard people saying theyve canceled orders though.

>>135708749
Depends, i've cancelled three times in the 4+ years ive been with them and havent gotten banned, but I also spend $300+ a month, so its up to you the risk.


What figure was it? You may be able to find a buyer for your pre-order.

How do you cancel? Do you just send a support email asking to cancel an order or....? And I think itd be a bit much effort to find a buyer, since i dont really sell figs, i just collect them. I guess ill have to if I cant/they wont let me cancel it.

>>135708849

>>135708954
>overpriced
What's your method of measuring valuation?
sometimes it's best waiting 6-12 months for real market prices to be set in. after that you can snag something you wanted at a discount to the retail prices, if your lucky. Even if your not they barely appreciate above 50% outside rare cases,

>>135709630
>Nippon Yasan
Why?

Even without import tax it is still cheaper to buy from literally everywhere else.

>>135709630
The only bad thing I've experienced from NY so far is that they're really slow. Is there something else?

>>135709670
>Lying on the internet
They have the cheapest exclusives figures (I'm talking about the preorders only) unless you have some kind of proof.
>>135709698
Their shipping fees are way too high, they just guess how much it will cost when you preorder and they don't change it when they tell you to pay.

Also, only use Air Small Packet, amiami doesn't write the shipping cost on them, so you spend even less.

The easiest one was registered SAL until they removed it for germany, now they only offer SAL, Air Mail and EMS.

Air Mail is still pretty fast but a bit cheaper so I usually use it.

Are you bullshitting me? Where the fuck is it supposed to be cheaper than in local shops?

https://figuya.com/de/taxons/rory-mercury
95 Euro for her on a local shop.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-015928
10000yen plus 2700 for SAL shipping equals about 100 Euro. And you have to pay import tax too. Even if you undervalue you will still have to pay a few Euro tax. You will end up being around 110 Euro if you find her cheap at a place that undervalues.
And then of course you also have to go out of your way to pick her up from the customs office.

How the fuck are local shops not massively superior you faggot?

Me too. I'm working on making risers and trying to figure out which piece of art I want to use as the backdrop.

>>135710968
You are wrong at comparing Kotobukiya stuff.
Kotobukiya figures are always cheaper at Figuya, but that's the only one.
Everything else is more expensive.

>>135711117
How do you ship large amount of figures if most places refuse to combine them unless they release within the same month?

Do you order like 3 figures a month? Otherwise you won't save much by combined shipping.

What? That literally never happens to me (I'm French). What kind of fucked up country is that? When I undervalue stuff, I don't pay anything.

>You really only safe a few euro in the end or nothing at all.
You're stupid. Here, have an actual example:
http://www.abyssecorp-direct.com/fr/ Here's a French local shop.
Domestic shipping fees are approximately 8 euros.
This Shiro figure (pic related) is 122.34 + 8 € = 130 €
On Big in Japan, it's 11 790 + ~2000 yen for SAL = approximately 110 € (with a really shitty EUR/JPY rate)
20 euros difference and you get your figure 2 months earlier.
And that's just for one figure.

Bought her on AmiAmi for 12130 and 2320 air mail shipping, 14450 yen complete.
I payed 109,49€ through Paypal.

As the shipping costs aren't listed on air mail packets, they only calculate the taxes for the figure costs.

The official exchange rate for this month was 137,31, which comes down to:
12130/137,31 = 88,34€

As it is below 150€, you only have to pay 19% EuST which is:
88,34€ * 0,19 = 16,78€

The complete costs here were 126,27€.

On the other hand, you have Figuya, the figure there was 169,90€ and you had to wait 2 months for her.

And I would say that 43,63€ saved is pretty good.

>>135711796
Theres a bookstore here that sells nendos and blind box figures but ive never really bothered. I only get jojo manga there.

>What? That literally never happens to me (I'm French)
Do you let them send it as a present? I always say it costs 3000 yen or something to not gather suspicion. From what I hear customs hate presents and control them like mad.

>And Kotobukiya figures all hit the bargain bin, it's stupid to preorder them in the first place.
The Rory figure seems to have gathered quite a bit of interest though.

Everything about that figure is perfect except her proportion. Goddamn, I fucking hate her shortstacked-esque body.

>>135711976

>>135711919
>Do you let them send it as a present?
No. It doesn't matter if your package is marked as a gift in France, it will still get taxed if the written value is higher than 22 euros.
>I always say it costs 3000 yen or something to not gather suspicion.
I always use something like 2000 yen (even for EMS stuff that always get checked) and I've never had a problem.
>customs hate presents and control them like mad
Never heard of that. Depends on the country I guess. Here they don't give a fuck.
>The Rory figure seems to have gathered quite a bit of interest though.
Nah Kotobukiya figures almost never get hard to get. Look at Amazon.co.jp sales.
>As if. 2700yen+, easily.
Maybe if you pick RSAL, but USAL never costs higher than 2000 yen.

Sell them to other euros. Then the shipping is "ok".
Also some americans might still be willing to buy an overpriced figur if they really want it, like on mfc.

>>135712284
I wouldn't consider 17 euros ok for uninsured shipping. It's not like I tried before (when ebay wasn't as retarded as it is now). But most people don't want to pay that much for shipping and a reasonable price for the figure itself. Using paypal is also a guarantee to lose not only your figure but your money.

>>135712413

Depending on the eu country you live in you can sell stuff locally, like if you are german sell it on ebay kleinanzeigen. and I have seen a lot of french selling figurs with no shipping to their own country.

And the seller has to pay shipping so its not like this is your problem. You can always find somebody willing to buy a good figur on mfc if its hard to get.

>>135712684
*the buyer has to pay shipping
typo my mistake

>>135712684
I've been trying to sell stuff on mfc for three years now without success. And it's not like I offer that stuff for outrageous prices. I've also considered Kleinanzeigen, but since you barely even see figures on there, it'd probably take forever to sell it.

>>135712637
>$100 shipping

That's pretty nuts, how much does it cost to ship within Europe?

Is there a decent way to scan figures? An old friend is giving me his old oculus dev kit and i'm thinking about creating a vr figure display room where the user can design can customize their room in any way and later on eventually invite others to their room. Only thing i'm worried about is actually getting the figures into a vr environment.

>>135712817
When you live in a small, irrelevant country, if you want to be competitive, then you may need to drop your prices so the price with shipping is lower than domestic prices elsewhere.

>>135712874
You'd probably run into issues with the creators, since a scan nice enough to display might also be nice enough for 3D printing/bootlegging. Not to mention some shady fuck might crack it and add figures they don't actually own to the thing, defeating the purpose of it being a private room.

>>135712886
I already did so in the past when I sold stuff on ebay. But I'd rather trash the figure instead of giving them away for the ridiculous offers some people make.

>>135712987

Does that figure even have a base at all?

Can someone explain to me what the "Same Item(s) in Other Store(s)" section in Mandarake is?

If I look for an item and they don't have it in stock I can usually find that item in the "Same Item(s) in Other Store(s)" section, but what are these other stores? Aren't the "stores" just different users selling their stuff on Mandarake?

Example: When I look for that Tharja figure it says "sold out"
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1030114357&ref=list
But there are some offers of the figure? So why does it say sold out?

That is what I am thinking too. I don't understand this shop. It is like ebay where users sell their stuff or not? The guide says nothing about it.

Essentially I am wondering why figures are marked as "sold out" when you search for them when they are offers where you can buy said figure.

>>135713950
Mandarake is a chain with many stores around Japan, it's nothing like ebay, they own all the merchandise they sell.
So if something is sold out in one of their stores it's possible it's in stock in another store.

>>135713950
Here it says "Sold out" but
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1036489765
is not sold out. I want to understand why. Is this item somehow different from the item you find in their search engine? I mean why would they not show you that the item is for sale in their search results?

>>135714016
Stop being a little shit, it isn't written in the guide and there is no way for me to know.

>>135714075
Okay I understand that, but then why does their search engine only show one of the stores? Would it not make much more sense for them to show results from all their shops?

Is there any way to make the search engine catch the results from all stores?

It's a nice concept but if the girls dont have the same size, what's the point?

this is the figure I bought from taobao last night. it was $48 on the site, will probably be close to 100 after Bhiner fees + shipping

fap before buy is going horribly wrong this time.

Fucking brown elves.

Who wants to tell him?

>>135718220
brown elves are shit.

Only good one is that one from kuroinu

>>135718288
hm?

>>135718031
Let's see... It's vanilla sex, mostly in the missionary position, it's neither a believable everyday situation nor exotic situation, and none of the girls are very fetishy. Not that it's bad. It's just completely average on every level and doesn't deserve constant attention and raving over it.

If a bootleg looks pretty okay for the price, what's wrong with buying it? It's not like I'm getting Sader or anything

>>135718288
are you going to say what's on your mind or not? it's a good price

>>135718614
>Implying anyone of us gives a fuck about your collection
If you want to own a bunch of bootlegs then go right ahead.

>>135718614
Nothing, if you're okay with bootleg quality then that's fine. Personally I find the quality too bad ever want one, even at like 1/5th the cost.

I-Is that shit on that plate? It looks like shit, is she eating shit? Coprophagia is a sin

>>135716059
What figure is this? It looks cute but I don't recognize the character and image search hasn't brought up anything relevant.

>>135718614
>It's not like I'm getting Sader or anything
Like you can even buy a sader these days, it's become a holy grail

>>135718744
You bought a bootleg you dumbfuck.

>>135718819
I would give up a decent fig for a sader

>>135706870
It was well done though.

>>135718833
there are no known bootlegs of her

Congratulations, you just discovered it.

>>135718947
Whats the problem of waiting a bit longer? Its not like the figur will run away.

>>135718833
it's definitely not a bootleg, retard.

>>135718953
that's not even me (the anon that bought her). You're a shit buyfag if you think anything not from a Jap website is a bootleg.

>>135718996
Unless you post it, we can't be too sure.

>>135719058
If there were bootlegs of her they would be all over the internet already.

I only started getting involved after Christmas because my santa happened to send me some figures (pic related). I'm looking around to see what I want to buy to build up my collection now. High on the list is BQ Nako so I can complete the HanaIro set and EX Jizel so I can pair her with Fan.

It's hardly in the league of what others here own/have ordered (and I'm almost certain my meager figures will get scorned), but I'm taking baby steps while I learn about buyfagging from moonland. The guide is a lifesaver.

>disliking missionary vanilla

>>135719058
Yes we can because we're not retarded as fuck. Bootlegs are mass produced. They're not going to handcraft the shit to sell at bootleg prices.

>>135719089
>Every single bootleg in existence has been documented by mankind
Maybe we should put that effort towards charting the sea floor instead

>>135718161
Did you buy that because I posted her a thread or two ago as my hunt?

>>135719159
yes sorry. I told you it was a bad idea, but I kinda doubt you'd have found that one anyway

>>135719147
You are a real idiot.

If you were going to sell a nendoroid petite, how much would you reasonably charge for them? Because for the 4 figs I'm going to sell, I'd need to at least sell them for $16-$20 each to break even.

>>135719247
3 - 5$

>>135719247
obviously it depends on the one. I bought a tenshi petit for $25

>>135719247
Ill give you 26 bucks on paypal for them if you post what they look like

>>135719198
Either Gourai has a bootleg or some people are getting some real good deals from the ones out of China. Yet there's nothing on MFC about her yet. Someone has to buy the first bootleg to realize that bootlegs exist, and then you're assuming that whoever bought the very first bootleg posts about it.

>>135719247
I'm about to buy a set of petites and I'm planning on selling the four I don't want for 1/5 of the price. It's worked for trading figures in the past, don't see why it won't work for these. May take some time to sell though.

Can I blog?

>>135719446

I hope there are bootleg Gourais. I want to see just how shoddy those hip joints are, the real ones are bad enough.

>>135719198
No, I'm pretty sure you are.

>>135719517
go ahead

I'm not willing to risk chinese vendors so you're probably right. Enjoy her, I guess.

At least I've got her onee-chan to put together when she arrives.

>>135716467
if anon's a cute brown elf i'd spoonfeed her anyday
