Hey guys, does anybody have experience shipping stuffs won from yahoo auction via buyee?
If yes what are the chances i will get tax if i ship them through EMS?
I bought 1 RM900 ish and another RM1400 worth of scale figure.
Is it possible that they will let it go because the label written as personal belongings?
*
There is always a risk.
And even personal belongings are also taxable. Im not joking.
Some ppl travel overseas to study and then send things back as parcels (because one single person hard to carry many luggage), they also tax, even when they are personal belongings

It's been a while since I'm posting in here. A little rant to clear up my mind.

After a long waiting, finally my 1/8 Meteora Osterreich (Phat) reach me last week.
As for my inspection, I'm notice the detail & figure paint quality is very poor. The gold & blue color on for her cloth line very poor painting & messy. Some of the MFC communities also facing the same problem.

Feel disappointing after a long waited, which is why I really hate pre-ordering figure anymore. Damn.

As for my lesson, my Altair (Gunpuku no Himegumi) will be my last pre-order figure.

it's really surprising for good smile to screw up like that hmm.gif
It has been many years since the last time they disappointed me (since BRS animation version and Hayakawa Yuzuko)

I didn't expect that one coming. BTW the make was Phat Company, still I've have no idea GSC is their parent company. This is my 2nd time figure I've got paint problem (Hatsune Miku Type 2020 was the first but GSC fix the paint problem).
When comes to detailing and aesthetic, I'm really a bit chatty since I'm previously a Gundam modeler (my habit & also my fault).
So far when comes to detail and painting, I give a credit to Aniplex (love the detail from my Saber Sakura & Senai Heroine Kimono).

Well that is for me, I'm guess I just bough my next figure after the release date just like I'm use to before.
I don't mind its little expensive but I think I have enough of waiting. I'm not a patience when comes to long waiting.
Like just u mention before, some of MFC member got the same problem.
Something similar like this photo.

The blue paint on her yellow line cloth quite annoying. I'm planning to do a bit "touch-up" to fix the paint later on.

Ohhhh No wonder, it's Phat. That speaks for itself.
Phat has never been good. Their stuff are "just okay". They are actually an independent company i think, just that their products are distributed by Good Smile.
Altair will definitely be better because she's made by GSC themselves.

The same shyt happened to one GodEater figure, the one wielding a scythe, cant remember her name. It was by Good Smile in name, but the figure was actually a part of Plum's Godeater series!
So her scale/size differs a bit from GSC's very own Alisa and Ciel, even the base is different.

this memorial dress version... can stand how long.. got some decent support?  hmm.gif

Same design as the ultimate madoka i believe, the dress plug into the base as you can see. I think they definitely used some sort of reinforcement to achieve it.

Thanks for the link but I'm trying to find one that sells it in Japan haha. So far can't find anything else other than Tokyo Figure.

Tohsaka Rin is getting a re-release, Dec 2019. So you might want to stalk some japanese sites when the time comes. Saber Extra is harder to find at the moment

I'm just curious after seeing the taobao guide.

Is it cheaper to get original figures from taobao compared to Japanese sites ?
*
For prize figures, in general yes. Especially when u buy many from a single seller - mainly because the shipping from china is cheaper compared to from Japan.
For scales, depends on what figure you are looking for, but it's indeed true that some of my figures were acquired from taobao cheaper than from the likes of amiami, when you factor in the total including shipping.

For preorders i would get from japan (those early bird discounts); if hunting for already released, ready stock stuff, there are chances that getting from taobao seller is about 5-10% cheaper when u total up with shipping. The main reason being postage from china is a lot cheaper than from japan.

But the packaging/protection by chinese sellers in general are not as strong as the likes of Amiami. I'm still ok with minor dents on boxes though.

My latest figure photography work- Max Factory's Shuten Douji - Fate / Grand Order

Hello guys. Sorry for long hiatus.

I'm want to ask some question regarding purchase item from AmiAmi.

1. Right now I'm try to looking some figure made by GSC, which is still available but there's a remark "For sale Japan only." Is that mean that the item only can be purchase for only Japan & can't be send to outside from it?

2. Have anyone here try to by pre-owned figure from AmiAmi as well. Just need some advice before I'm made decision for now.

TQ~

For Sale in Japan only usually doesnt mean anything. Go ahead and buy.
For Amiami preowned, their ratings are pretty strict, so even B/B condition is pretty good. First alphabet is Figure condition, second one is Box. Go ahead and buy. It is C grade that may have damage (which is described in the listing. If you dont care about box then some figures may have A/C rating. Figure is A but box is probably dented, hence C.

guys, if you can delay your purchases, do. shipping is basically down to flinging stuff around these days. almost all the boxes of my stuff received during this period has seen some damage or another, especially those overseas packages. with the lockdowns, the entire system is overwhelmed so yeah, stuff gets thrown about is the new norm. if pristine boxes is your thing, don't risk it.

I felt bad dropping orders so i kept my order in nipponyasan and paid for it back on 1st July. Until today havent ship and messages went unanswered.

Aniplex's Ereshkigal released on April 24th and was already in my hands by mid May, and i pushed out her photos in early June. Altyer's bunny Scathach released on 9th July and current already on the way to my door step - expecting her early next week. Both are from taobao.

As a content creator and photographer I sit by watching Japanese photogs release their photos within 3 days after product release and I have to wait months to be able to photograph it? Each week i delay my photos of a new productm i lose more potential audience on my page, instagram, etc because people want to see new stuff. Im so fking done with Japan this year. Any orders that releases within this year i will FFK all of it.

i'm guessing NY is pretty backed up with orders rn.

as a fan of your work i can assure you i don't mind waiting at all bc your work is worth waiting for. if you're losing followers bc of this, i'm not even sure if they're your true fans. i can tell that a large amount of effort went into each diorama set and you can't get that kind of result if you rush into it.

Thanks. No, im not losing followers but rather, this situation makes it hard to gain more.

The Japan post to Malaysia has been steadily getting faster.

One of my figures arrived last month after 4 weeks, the next took 3 weeks. The latest one was posted on 30th August and reached KLIA on 3rd September. Not bad at all.

EDIT: I am using Air Small packet.

Oh, Air Small Packet is resuming eh
I planned on holding off from buying from Japan for the rest of the year.
