Kinda went a little overboard with my spending this month tongue.gif

I usually only buy a figure or 2 every 2 - 3 months.

But since I got my mid year bonus my hands have been itching uncontrollably.

Hi to all sifus here, i want to buy a figure directly from amiami. Any tips or advise for me? I just plan to get one figure. Will the shipping cost become too expensive?

If you're patient, go for SAL small packet (registered). It's about 1500 - 1900 JPY and takes about 2 weeks.

If you want it in days, choose EMS, it costs about 3000+ JPY.

Thank you very much for the info.
Are both SAL and EMS safe? I mean won't lost half way right?

I've been buying from Amiami for 3 years, no parcels lost so far.

Are you guys so assured of safe delivery of these NSFW type of figurines??

Ordering NSFW figurines always comes with a risk and really depends on your luck when it comes to kastam.

I remember Exiled_Gundam got one of his X-rated figurines confiscated by kastam and the officers even tried to pull the religion card on him doh.gif

But chances of that happening is quite low and it all comes down to luck.

Exiled Gundam's story :

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Mar 9 2016, 05:04 PM)
Just returned from Kastam. And the result is...

Will still be confiscated  cry.gif  cry.gif  Tried to explain about the clothes usually purchase separately (I even brought seamless doll as sample), but they say they will assess only on what's inside the parcel (which is just the figure in naked apron). Not helping when 5 of 6 officers who present in the room for the rayuan are Muslim women (one of them even said "sebagai Muslim macam ni tak boleh"  vmad.gif ), and the Kastam director just agree to the verdict of the majority of the officers (those 6). The director did commented on there is no definite guideline about my case; what considered lucah for some might not be the same for others. But since all 6 officers agreed the figure is lucah, he have to agree as well. He did said I can appeal again another time (most probably hinting it could be passed depending on officers in-charge).

In summary, the figurine (Freeing 1/4 Kuroki Mikage) considered as lucah because:
- skimpy clothes
- sexy pose
- not articulated enough to be considered as a doll

Not sure whether I want to appeal again (maybe this time bringing other static 1/4 figurines with decent clothes on), but for now I can just deemed the RM 840 for the figure burned  cry.gif

Waited for more than year for this figure. Then paid Nippon Yasan for her, 4 months ago during the time RM was weaker. Shipped 3 days ago and from the tracking information, the figure become the first casualty for this year  cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

I guess can't buy big NSFW figure from Nippon Yasan anymore (the figure in question is 1/4.5).

ah i see, btw have u ever get any H or maybe normal figures confiscated be4? just wanna have some experience frm some1 that have imported alot

if tax figures not so much dmg, but dollfie is way much more expensive, cheapest is at least around rm3k & up, so u can guess how much tax is from there  sweat.gif 

so if its rm4k the tax can go up to around rm400, can almost buy a figure liao lol doh.gif so if can skip, can save quite alot

I see, thanks for the info.
I have my own ways of determining genuine vs bootleg, i even check the entire store to see their inventory (which means everything is more expensive when compared to prices you normally see on bootlegs), and i also compare prices to official MSRP in Japan. So far every seller with that certificate i come across definitely so genuine stuff, so i can confidently say that ppl can feel safe to buy from sellers such those certs.

Is is generally cheaper buying genuine figures from Taobao compared to Japanese sites (Amiami, Nippon Yassan etc)?

Shipping also cheaper if don't mind waiting?

Fuhh, that's very helpful thumbsup.gif

Due to my abysmal Chinese, I think I will just stick to Japanese sites unless I want to go grail hunting haha.

Thanks for sharing!

My most expensive order to date.

B/C grade, going to cost me about RM 500 + shipping (forced to pick EMS sad.gif)

Would really have preferred to use RSAL to save cost but alas. I could have saved about RM60 from there.

Ah well, at least I'll get it before CNY.
