hmm...or just direct do it all in japanese version and proceed to payment process? wonder will it work or not.

i see, big thx for the advice. I will try to preorder kotobukiya wind goddess xecty and see whether it will success or not...i just hope i will not receive cancel order email when release. I cant find goddess forest elwyn as well in english site, wondering how much shipping cost for her...and is she look full castoffable in eye of paypal?

you can try phone to contact them...they not much into pvc recently but i think you can put pvc preorder on them...

thx for link. before that i direct convert to english site from japanese site (becoz i always browse japanese site at first), that why i cant found it on english site...lol

hmm...shipping 2500 yen, which mean weight about 1.5KG include shipping box...kinda pain in shipping cost too =3=

the only downside of amiami is they only accept paypal unlike hs and hlj...and i hate paypal =3=

yup...one of the reason of i hate paypal is they got extra charge to use their service, and still not yet include yr credit card charge. And paypal can freeze yr money anytime they like without provide a good reason to you...

yes paypal do not charge fees on buyer for online purchase, but they charge fee on seller and seller will reflect the fee back to the buyer, in the end you still need to pay the fee. paypal exchange rate alrdy include their charge and that is not cc normal exchange rate when u direct use cc to pay. if like that paypal no need earn money alrdy And yup paypal transaction cancellation is much easier than bank dispute, i had try myself for getting automate transaction cancellation done by paypal themself without any reason while i still a ebay buyer

for local store i always choose to pay through local bank because it is more convenience, price stable and the process is instantly complete in effect after you make the payment...for credit card or debit card, i found that the bank will post up the bill or transaction at later time than the day of transaction make, and thus the transaction exchange rate will follow the day when the bill is post...so in the end the price you paid will be some inaccurate than what u predicted before you buy. Although this will only make very small difference in money you have to pay, but it also will accumulate till large amount especially you are PVC collector. So for me, local bank transfer > cc or dc > paypal

for SAL from japan...maybe i am lucky or my area postman are kind to me , it nvr get lost in way, just only delay or sometime heavily dent/medium dent or no dent at all..depend on luck

for SAL from hong kong, mine lost once during delivery near christmas day and lucky it is insuranced.

maybe i will skip this one...buy too many brs alrdy =3=

maybe will buy, can match with brs 1st version...but i worry her price will be as the brs 1st version too =3=

"breast really small" packing box still using that heavy box like previous version =3=

i think it end about 1 hour later after the free shipping campaign start...or there is no much stock left for the free shipping..i am late too =.=

Anyone know HS cancel preorder policy is apply to value of single preorder or value of all preorder that you make? According to Hobby search FAQ, items worth more than 20,000 yen cannot be cancel. I also not sure the limit is refresh every month or not, like after i reach the cancel limit in this month, then next month the limit is refresh and i can cancel again.

i hope so but i not yet see any figure price more than 20k before...

seem like cannot cast off...or no need cast off alrdy

brs original ver. seem like will be re-issue again...good news for those cant get the first batch

i cant see any line at her cloth...except her feet and hand, maybe need wait for further announce of pic

i order a figure from japan and ship using SAL small parcel unregistered but still not yet arrive, i wondering whether can i go to LCCT/KLIA customs and give my address and name to customs people for them to check whether my parcel is hold by customs or not? since i dont have any tracking number or any insurance and i didnt receive any letter from postman regarding the SAL parcel. Anyone have experience on this?

actually i alrdy wait near 2 months, so i wonder whether it is get hold at customs or not...did customs record down the name and shipping address of the parcel even it is unregistered?

so customs wont have any record of not registered parcel regardless it is been hold or confiscated? Because I suspect customs confiscated the parcel...since actually there are 2 figure in the parcel, one is look like 'ahem' figure for them (u sure knw what i mean lol), another is pretty normal figure.

i not sure whether amiami will make any mistake on send to wrong address, becoz i ask another person to pay for me using paypal. I got email back amiami to ask whether it is send to paypal address and they say it is send to address registered in amiami system.

i see, thx for the info...i no receive any letter from customs, so i guess the unregistered parcel alrdy lost in the way...

this is the 3rd time i buy from amiami, before this my SAL parcel from other party were nvr got "telan" by Pos Malaysia, the worst condition is late receive it. I not sure whether it is related to the recently the import toy sticker rule or not. playasia thg i got lost one, which sent out at last year december, inside figure got some small lighting device.

amiami registered SAL i think need to add more 410yen to the postage fee...it is the standard registered fee for SAL.
