because some of the figurines aren't made for mass production tho. also they make some nice special editions like that one time they added legs to a bust figure.

anybody did this? i hope orchid seed does her after shadow wing but i'm not holding my breath. orchid seed took more than four years before shadow wing sees the light of day

Orchid Seed actually has a 5 year old (prototype) figure announced sometime back in 2011 WonFes that has not even been painted yet LOL

oh dear! i can't wait 5 years for her!

mebbe alter can do this figure instead?

btw, anybody getting miyuki and miya?

I'm starting to notice Nippon-Yasan is a premium site.. almost always selling more expensive then Ami/Mandarake.

No wonder often times they are the only ones with stock,..

for released figures, yes...but their prices are pretty competitive with regard to pre orders. and they carry native products, something that amiami doesn't

I usually PO exclusive stuff from Nippon-Yasa, or stuff that were priced more than RM 500 since you can request them to underdeclare (Amiami cannot do this). My most recent preorder with them is this (nsfw): https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/17065-...a-kisaragi.html Same figure at Amiami is more expensive: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=LTD-FIG-00284 and almost definitely cannot pass Kastam due to price (since cannot underdeclare). Plus Amiami put too much padding for international shipment The only downside of Nippon-Yasan is you need to pay for the product about 1 week before it release, while Amiami allow you to pay within 1 week after release(convenient for stuff that release on the last week of the month).

This is the first time this is happening to me. The update went from "customs inspection" directly to "out for delivery".



The parcel value is 11,000 yen plus about 6,000 yen shipping. Figure inside can be interpreted as NSFW. Am I in trouble?

EDIT: Goddammit.

Ok, chances are I wont use them then...


Payment I thougth we pay directly on the spot using paypal? If release on last week of the month payment will run into issues in Japan?

But I see how underdeclaring might help...

For preorder most item has option to Pay Later (and can choose CC too). Release last week of the month Amiami can delay till gaji masuk leh

From Yahoo auction forwarded by Tenso. It's this figure: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/4358.

I called Pos Malaysia and they confirmed my suspicion about it being seized because of "prohibited item". Should I call customs to argue my case, or just let it go?

no, meaning if release in last week, gotto pay by third week... gaji belum masuk

Hmm that one not gonna pass (my case last time was much tamer, but still kena nonetheless). Worst if you go argue, there's possibility to get fined also. What did Tenso put on declaration sheet anyway?

p/s then again I'm a Muslim and the staff there were all Muslim as well, so the prejudice quite high. If you're a non-Muslim might has very slight change.
p/s 2: Tenso usually handwritten the declaration sheet or computer-printed them? 6k yen shipment the box must be very big

You all super hard core.... and I was thinking last week got problem sending money to Japan maybe cause of their monthly closing system or such

Ini macam kes lepas beli makan maggi jor

Not till makan maggi lor, just the remaining balance not enough to pay for the item

bro... paypal/cc not immediate pay what. still got grace period to settle ma

Usually if "Prohibited" items they will ask u go there and ask u to furnish the proper documentation for the release of the items. You will NOT be able to have proper docs. Hence... only way is to "negotiate" with them.

However, if the items cost is LOW, then they wont nego with u, and since u no proper docs, they are suppose to return/reject the package. Theoractically this will mean being sent back to the seller. However, my last case I filled in the form to have the item sent back to seller, I later found out Customs did not do so, they kept the item and 3 months later sent me another letter to ask me go see them cause item detained.... I lazy liao.. ignore the letter... I assume they took that as "no claimant" and release the item to their own care...

Ya... my paypal linked to my credit card... you have nearly 30 days to pay la...
