QUOTE(killerjeya @ Jan 16 2016, 10:31 AM) Walao, "This order is ineligible for Small Packet due to its size and/or weight."...  Kinda annoying, coz Hobby Search/Nippon-Yasan can ship via Reg SAL, 1900 yen, almost 1k yen cheaper than Amiami's SAL Parcel/EMS rates...  This is the first time, since Im ordering MG gunpla. MG gunpla is freaking big so it's fine  QUOTE(WingNut @ Jan 16 2016, 11:19 AM) amiami has a tendency to use huge outer box... sometimes thrice the size of the figure box. i have no idea why. perhaps they only stock limited size boxes. anyway... according tl exkurogane, still smaller than amazon.jp  I dont mind tho. My packages were dented here and there few times already

Got my Yui a few days ago. 12,400yen = RM480 =.= I paid fully with 12.4k of amiami points so it's kind of worth it given how RM is at a bad value at the moment Alter did a good job at the part where it mattered a lot  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Will either go for BIJ or AA - but in view of AA's notorious boxing choice, most probably will go for BIJ (and of coz BIJ can do low value declaration for customers  ) .

The screw you see under their figure's base including Olivia is a lie. what's inside her foot is just a plastic block. Some of us Olivia owners had the figure dislodged from the base and we had to spam glue to get the figure back on standing.

Some shops can under-declare the value if you request so can lepas Kastam easier...However (Sifus here correct me if I'm wrong), Kastam may request invoice/receipt if the declared value seems fishy...

I see. Planning to buy a figure online but this is my first time buying. Any online shops with lowest price to recommend? Also the figure I plan to buy is only on pre-order now. Is it worth it to buy those pre-order items?
