I see, early PO the date is around 2012 dec, then waiting her till I check again know is this month...

GSC is well known for their release date delays every month. It's just way too many supposed releases and then come mid of the month, they realize it's not possible to produce them all and end up delaying more than half the list. If I remember correctly, the PO for Figma Kuroyukihime opened as early as June 2012. And only now in January 2013 is it released. That's almost a full 6 months delay. Go figure.

Oh not at all, bro. Like I said no offense so there was none taken as well. Was just wondering if it was wise to reveal your name and stuff with all the crime happening these days. Haha.

1 week to 2 weeks via EMS. sometime delay due to holidays
if SAL 1-3 weeks worse 4 week. SAL is based on slot. If got slot they ship together if not next round. LOL
*
I mostly ship using SAL Registered. Never took more than 12 working days to arrive.
As for EMS, on the occasions I do find it more worth it to use, I usually receive within 5 working days. The fastest was 3 working days as well.

I don't think you can check item unless you ship with at least registered SAL. Normal SAL is like normal mail. If lost, then byebye liao lor. Last time i kena the special Haruhi Figma + PSPgame, it was released during CNY and i naively used SAL. Item never came sad.gif
*
Just pay roughly 400 Yen more for registered SAL. That's like only RM13+. Never had any issues shipping from Amiami using that method for the past 6, 7 years.

My first time buying from Ami Ami... Well.. it look cheap on the price tag... for the items.. but the shipping.. poof... really can be costly.. for the below items.. just for shipping is already Rm 60+ 

Sorry for a little Off Topic.. for the items I buy.. but just want to ask if AmiAmi is normally just look cheaper in items but after added grand total with shipping it cost as much as local shop?

Thanks..

I just hide in spoiler.. so that if you got to choose to see or not to see  icon_rolleyes.gif

I have absolutely no idea how much the items are supposed to be worth but less than RM8 shipping for each item (when divided equally) seems quite okay to me. Especially when you consider the fact they are being sent all the way from Japan. Oh well.

Hmm.. it's true also.., I felt somehow it's still expansive.. but then.. the item that I get are faster then the local store selling and some items like the stickers are not sold locally.. so it made it priceless  icon_idea.gif

Haha. Well in that case, there shouldn't be any bad aftertaste. I personally still prefer purchasing from Amiami and other online stores directly from Japan these days. No offense to local sellers as there are many good ones too, but I just feel safer when it comes to authenticity and reliability.

Uhh, there's a bundle that went for only 8k+ Yen. How did you get to 500-600? Haha. Even with shipping that's RM300+ at max.

hmmm.. i cant find where i saw it.. i believe it's because it was a US based seller that it was retailing for about 500 when converted
after a quick search though, most places it's sold out AND costed about RM400-ish, most place listed it as 10k yen and not 8k.. although amiami does put 8k

ugh.. curse GSC.. they're releasing my favourite characters in figma form but ALL of them are rare or exclusives.. things like Lelouch and Suzaku from Code Geass as well.. damn them.. saber also fell victim to all these exclusivities.... gahhh
*
Incidentally, I got mine from Amiami. Just a tip, next time there's a bundle exclusive - get it immediately. There are some people who will tell you if it doesn't sell after release, you'll get 50-60% discount for them in a few months' time. Sure, but that is ASSUMING they really don't sell. A lot of these bundles sell out really quickly so your own choice to take the risk or not. Just so you know, bundle exclusives will likely never get a re-release.

i never worry about the diecast part, but the face, hope they do it right >.<
the rm800 is probably the IBRS, where they get it for around 600+ from Italy version, that is why they only sell the figma not the boxset, saw it months ago, so no taker yet eh lol, saber Lily i got it for RM300 with figma only  sweat.gif
*
Uhh...no offense but I bought mine from Amazon Italy for RM270 including shipping. So...it's really not RM600+ and definitely not worth the RM800 they're selling for. Just saying.

that cheap @.@??
feel so regretful for buying the japanese box set, seem like a rip off >_>

Yes, that cheap indeed. Maybe it's better to look around for other options when buying these bundle exclusives in the future. smile.gif

QUOTE(Kubaru @ May 12 2013, 12:18 AM)
haha yea. When i checked the Saber Lily selling at @eCurve Suncomic selling at around RM 100 (i think) but box is not in good condition (Back in Box i think). Btw when i checked at Graffiti Toys in TS i noticed they selling figmas around RM 50-80 (dunno if its China Replica but its damn cheap) but too few
*
Unfortunately, I believe those are all imitations. In general, I think it's safer and more worth it to buy directly from online stores in Japan. At least they're authentic and if you can manage to combine shipping for several items, you can usually save quite a bit.

Yea i kinda knew they were imitations cuz ive checked with one of my friend. But the temptation was too strong to buy haha. Oh btw, the post about before me finding Figma SP-020 Misaka Clone Sisters. I manage to buy online in a bundle of 4 other figmas (Touma (unopened) , Index (unopened) , Clone (BIB) and Mikoto (BIB but no PSP game)) all around RM 332. A worth buy
*
Good to know you did. It's a really good price since it has both the Misaka Figmas. smile.gif

lucky you!
i ordered a pre-owned Yotsuba a day before the they announced the reissue.
asked them to replace my order with the reissue version, but they said no. cry.gif

Just ask them to cancel the previous order then place an order for the reissue. Always works (provided you haven't been cancelling as you wish all the time). You really DON'T have to explain how it's unfair that the reissue is cheaper or be overly honest about how you want to replace your previous order. Just do it on your own to avoid the hassle.
