QUOTE(MeToo @ Jul 29 2016, 10:05 AM) Happens mainly to older figuresNEVER display your figures if your room is hot. I know, whole day on aircond = electric bill, but if your room is warm and u let figures out like that u r asking for trouble. Figures might lean over time but newer quality figures have ABS and steel rods incorporated in the leg to prevent that. Of course, cheapskate kotobukiya doesnt do that, so be careful with koto figures. |

Hi all,
it has been a while since I was post in these thread until i recently notice her, I feel so tempting to order her. ![]() 10540 yen from big in japan http://biginjap.com/en/pvc-figures/14300-s...d-touka-18.html 10570 yen from amiami http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?sc...-021776&rank=rk big in japan estimated Fedex shipping with 1800 yen, EMS with 2400 yen so big in japan can get 12340 yen (Fedex) or 12940 yen (EMS) amiami get 12970 yen (based on BIJ EMS estimation) which is ranging from RM486 - 511 based on current exchanged rate. I wonder will it safe to pass the custom? I never bought anything from big in japan before, how was their service and estimated shipping (is it accurate?) or is there any other online site which has comparable price?

QUOTE(edwardccg @ Jul 30 2016, 10:37 PM) Hi all, BininJap is known for low shipping costs but when comes to parcel protection Amiami is way better. All the stuffing led to a bigger carton box, hence a higher shipping cost. I have gotten away with over RM600 easily without getting taxed though.it has been a while since I was post in these thread until i recently notice her, I feel so tempting to order her. ![]() 10540 yen from big in japan http://biginjap.com/en/pvc-figures/14300-s...d-touka-18.html 10570 yen from amiami http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?sc...-021776&rank=rk big in japan estimated Fedex shipping with 1800 yen, EMS with 2400 yen so big in japan can get 12340 yen (Fedex) or 12940 yen (EMS) amiami get 12970 yen (based on BIJ EMS estimation) which is ranging from RM486 - 511 based on current exchanged rate.

Lets hope the exchange rate get better during Dec 2016Thank you. |

Of course, cheapskate kotobukiya doesnt do that, so be careful with koto figures. Some rooms are not hot BUT if there's sunrise or sunset hitting any of the display case, it could also melt the pvc. I experienced this before, put my collection display cabinet. It's all fine and dandy but then I discovered one of it got sticky, then only I realize it was because that cabinet got hit by sunrise during certain time of the season. So you can imagine, that's heat from the morning sun a few hours a day. |

Usually older figurines (those before ABS were introduced as material for figurines) and those prize figure; basically those that were made by certain mix of PVC that cannot withstand constant heat. |
