風のうしろを歩むもの (from Jingai Makyo, 塵骸魔京) by Goodsmile

By the way, after looking up on it in google, I'm kinda confused right now. What is Goodsmile? The company responsible for producing the figure? In that case, what about Solid Theater, as printed on the box, and as seen here:
http://www.goodsmile.info/products/others/...lid0704-01.html

発売元 on EDICT says "sales agency". So... companies like Alter, FREEing, Art Storm (and various other companies, listed here: http://www.goodsmile.info/products/product_others.html ) are merely agencies that bought the rights to sell/distribute said figures? I don't get it at all.

Say, how much do they charge for the shipping fees?

I'd love to preorder this: http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYPP-218 , given how I'm charged RM160 compared to RM190 that a shop is charging me, but I don't know if the shipping fees would make not much difference at all for hte pricing.

if you are just buying a single figure, not much difference, add shipping and you get about the same as local shop price. Of you use SAL thn it'll be a bit cheaper than local price
hehe welcome welcome, looks nice

That's the dilemma that I've been having. I could afford ordering several items at once via. online (assuming they I max out the weight quota before the said RM30 shipping fees increase), but at the same time, I wouldn't want to have my stuffs held up at the customs if I ordered too much (it would've been counter productive that way).

Guess it's time I spend some time reading that online ordering thread.

if you are using emes keep it under RM500, so your total + shipping around 14k yen then it won't be taxable and most of the time will pass without problem. I have actually ordered more than that but not advisable loh, coz not always so lucky can pass custom.

Ah, thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

What's a "emes"? A mailing order type?

Say, anyone here ordered their stuffs from http://www.1999.co.jp/eng before? How's that site? I find that they stockpile more items that I'd like to have, when compared to hlj.

Wasn't it mentioned that only RM500+ will get taxed (by tax, you mean detailed by customs, right?).

What did you ordered to have costed so much by itself?

Say, I'm about to place some orders on Hobby Search, but I had something I need to know before submitting it.

What kind of shipping do you usually use, SAL or EMS, and how long did it took for the stuffs to arrive on your doorsteps? Also, what might they delivery person do, in the case that there's nobody at home, when they came to deliver the items? The moment I read about how SAL is untraceable, I shudder to think about it's going to get lost somewhere in Malaysia's non-courier postage system.

I pre-ordered it from HobbySearch..XL-Shop not bringing in Feena..

There's alot of stuffs XL-shop don't bring in, like wheelchair moe Ikuno Komaki (still waiting my shipment form hlj.com, it's been a week on EMS now).

Also, saw this uploaded on hlj for preorders. You're already preorder..... wait, would something like that even get passed by customs in the first place? Wouldn't want it to get hijacked after it finally shipped.

Like what a 2channer said, her kunai's so large, it's like those mini plastic toy shovels.

edit: also, her whole body leaning forward, with only one of her foot supporting all her weight. Leaning tower of Pisa, anyone? D:

Say, would my parcel get tahan'd by customs, if they're large?

I've been browsing hlj's sales section just now, seen loads of stuffs that are really cheap that I'd buy in a heartbeat, like:
http://www.hlj.com/product/WAVDT-18
http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN939976
http://www.hlj.com/product/DRA14045
http://www.hlj.com/product/ZAC82052
and some other stuffs.

The total amount should be RM300+, but the package parcel might be large due to all the items. What can I expect from a SAL shipment, other than the slowness (would the box end up being crushed/kempit'd?)?

SAL is not considered courier ya, so anything above RM200 is subject to kena tahan smile.gif
if use EMS, dun worry...they may tahan if too big
but they can't tax u, so u just have to go there and clear them laugh.gif

but RM300+, dun 4get to count in ur shipping ya smile.gif

Silly Malaysian custom departments. Why must they make life so hard for us (not to mention our currency value's so small right now, RM200 is pretty much nothing, especially buying shit online)? =(

>Guys need some advice here, my package almost 1 month ledi....so far no arrive at my doorstep. Who should I look for? Email PA?
What did you ordered?

I wouldn't bother with them. Those DX Gundam character series always had a shitty sculp/plain coloring, given their budget pricing.

Just a heads up, kidnemo is selling this for almost half the original pricing:
http://www.kidnemo.com/index.php?main_page...roducts_id=1642
(original retail pricing is 4500yen, around USD$45)

and this for a good discount too
http://www.kidnemo.com/index.php?main_page...roducts_id=1243
(original retail: 4800yen, USD$48)

I ordered both, which totaled to USD$91.28 (shipping costed $32.5 alone. kidnemo is a US-based company). It costed much less than hlj.com or 1999.co.jp (since they're both selling at the retail price), since it's as if I'm paying nothing for the shipping, if I were to order from those two sites.

Koto figures have US releases so you can actually get them cheaper buying from the US, problem is not all figures will be release in the US though and usually they are release later than the Japan.

nice haul btw, really cheap

Ah, nowonder.
Initially, I thought those were either fakes, or someone in charge mistyped the pricing. I've only ordered after having a chat with someone who frequently orders stuffs from the site, after confirming that they only deal with authentic products, and can be trusted.
