Funny you guys mention this….I was having a chat last night with one of my suppliers in China and I was asking him about the Super DX figures (Ace and Boa).....he told me that Banpresto is treating these as a special prize item designated for arcade only and that there will be only 500 of Ace made/or allocated to order from his supplier in Japan. I have no idea how true that is but he said a lot of places will have cut orders because it will be very limited. I didn't see this one coming and will be watching to see how this plays out...he is a tad confused as well as this is a unique situation that he's never seen from Banpresto's prizes. Take it for what it's worth, I'll get it as long as it stays under 10,000 yen and looks as good as the promo pics.

WHAT?! NEW HETALIA ONE COIN FIGURES
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
WALLET RAPE. I do not consent, I do not consent!!! D:
-
@Shichibukai: It doesnt stay open, but with the sigaret in there it does =p
You can pull down his jaw with your finger.@Sensui: I hope my order @ archonia gets filled then, I was pretty quick ordering it, they now say it sold out.
-
@Shichibukai: It doesnt stay open, but with the sigaret in there it does =p
You can pull down his jaw with your finger.I tried that before but i didn't want to use to much force because i am afraid it could break.
-
YES Amiami has the new Hetalia figures for 15% off. But that still means spending like $65 after shipping (if i'm lucky) D: Garp is coming out around then too (FUUUUUUUUU-)
-
I understand that, but you should be able to bend it a little without breaking.
I didn't go as far as I should have for just about the same reason =p
I'll have him smoking a cigar as soon as Crocodile comes in.@ReDDragon: I know, I instantly pre-ordered it @ archonia for 30 euro when I saw it.

I now understand what you mean with "if archonia gets him" I sure hope Archonia will get him.

Does anyone know how much amiami shipping to the UK costs for a figure the size of POP crocodile?

I think my Robin POP was about £20 shipping.
And then there was customs on top of that.

Thanks for the info sensui! I was debating ordering a second ace from somewhere in the USA just in case my playasia order is cancelled. I ordered him pretty fast there, though. Interesting they're keeping the demand high with these limited numbers and distribution. Making us sweat, huh?
-
o_O using a different name there? i cant find anything
edit: Hehe Moon_Angel it is
/Late yes it is 8D
WHOOOOOT! I TOTALLY GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL! Ceremony is in two weeks <3 Me haz heard today WAAAAI WAAAI WAAI~~ totally happy
To stay more on topic..
Me want Law and Bepo WCF <3

So has anyone had good service when ordering from Yes Asia? I'm really considering pre-ordering Gigant Battle for the DS since it hasn't showed up on Play-Asia yet.
And how long does their shipping usually take? At best, HLJ sends me my package in 9 days, and Play-Asia sends it in 2 weeks. I don't mind how long I have to wait as long as it isn't months.

Well… I've had quite good experiences with Yes-Asia |D Ordered quite some magazines from there xD And other stuff which I don't really remember...
Don't remember shipping time though...
-
Play asia for me shipping has been good.
Most of my items take 7-18 days -
Yeah x3 I think I'm gonna be able to get the Mafia Sanji and Nami now __ Screw you HLJ for spontaneously deciding to cancel all our pre-orders and not even MENTIONING it..or at least..I didn't get a mention in MY email.. xDD It's okay though, now Robin and Zoro won't be lonely. nods :D

Tell me about it…I feel like a fish that knows when bait is put in front of him....but still cannot resist. XD I hope everyone's preorders with play-asia/archonia etc pans out. As for myself, I got it preordered as backup through some people in China but they can't ascertain stock...worse comes to worst, that's what I got Yahoo Auctions for.

UPDATE
Departure from inward office of exchangeOk..it should be here…what happened?
-
That means it left customs ^^ Then it'll start heading towards your local distribution center then straight to your house (or post office depending on what it is)
-
Good thing I decided that the Super DX Ace is just too big for me and that I don't really need it anyway… I had it on preorder on archonia as soon as ReDDragon had posted it here, but cancelled it a few days later.
But I really hope everyone who has him on preorder on archonia or play-asia will get one! Wow, that he would turn out to be THAT limited AND hard to get ... didn't see that coming.btw just a heads-up for everyone who ordered from amiami and had to pick the package up at the customs office … i emailed amiami about that and asked them to fill out the HS tariff number on the package label. HLJ always did that and it seems like customs need that information to calculate import sales tax and/or custom fees which have to be payed. should this information be missing you have to show them the payment confirmation and invoice and therefore need to pick it up yourself. they answered me today and told me the following
[…]Aaaah, awesome! I really hope that we won't have to get our packages from the customs office anymore :D
@ReDDragon: Thanks for letting us know that archonia has the Supernovas WCFs up for preorder! I checked like every other day, but still missed it XD

wait, this is something I want to know more about.
I've only imported something twice and it was a white pap and the bleach psp games from play Asia.Idont recall anything about customs… God my package pretty much a few days after I purchased it(psp) and a week or so for the games.. Nothing complicated.
So if I bought from amiami I'm going to have to go to te customs office and pick up my package and charged extra as well?
Btw I live in the U.S
-
No, because US customs laws concerning imports are a lot more lax than anywhere else in the world. Your package will come right to your door. If it's EMS, someone needs to be there to sign for it. Worst case senerio, you might have to go to the post office to pick up a delivery you missed.
Also, the US charges import taxes on very few types of items (no import taxes on toys), so chances are you will never have to pay customs.
Our customs offices are just mainly to detect suspicious packages and make sure nothing illegal is coming into the country.
-
No, this is for people who live outside the US.
-
Ugh.. Whenever I get a package I have to pay customs for I have to either pay cash to the postman (Which I never have. I mean.. who has that much money cash as a 17-year old D8) or I have to wait till the next day to pick it up at the post office.

Not OP related, but Im thinking of skipping a bunch of POPs for this huge basterd:

Guts sure does get some BADASS merchandise, doesn't he??? I can't even fathom how much that statue is __ it looks HUMONGOUS!!! Wouldn't buy that over a P.O.P. though, i love you Guts, but not as much as I LOVE Sanji, Franky, and Nami <3
-
Looking through everyone's lists, I'm so glad I'm not too crazy about having a lot of figures. Getting the Strong World set, and that's it. So, I've only got:
SW Sanji
SW Brook
SW Franky
SW Chopper Ver. 2
SW Zoro Ver. 2
SW Nami Ver. 2Also got the Super Styling on preorder for my little brother, and I might pay for a few of those myself (possibly Zoro despite his creepy smile, and mini Luffy). Also have Shichibukai DX Hancock on preorder for him. He wanted the special prize one, but oh well. Not worth the money for a 12 yr. old.
GLM Rayleigh is tempting, but I've been resisting so far.
I suppose I'm going to have to contact crease about Sanjino and Namimore, since my collection of those will be incomplete otherwise. >.< How else are they supposed to kill each other off?!!! I have the other Jinginai figures set up with spaces reserved for the two missing figures. ;_;

(Which I never have. I mean.. who has that much money cash as a 17-year old D8)
raises hand
Granted, I'm 19, but still. XD
I always have some cash around for … stuff. Like to be ready in case my car gets thirsty again (man, on those days it would be great to have a diesel like everyone else I know XD). For some reason I don't like to pay with my bank card when it comes to gas stations scratches head
Anyway, up until now I could always pay the postman right away - except for that one time when he didn't have enough change :ninja: Man, and I REALLY wanted that package, too! I was so furious XDAm I just missing something again or did archonia skip WCF vol 4? :wassat:

So I'll just get my driving license when I turn 18 |D (WHICH IS LIKE IN LESS THEN 3 MONTHS WHOOT!) -
Wow, im soooo worried about the Super DX ace, if play-asia cancles it i will cry! I want him so bad!
Gosh i wish i had the money to get all the figures you guys can get!
my list is not very impressive, but im 14 and my income is babysitting so thats an excuse :pAUGUST:
Super DX ace (I hope!!!)SEPTEMBER:
nami strong edition v.2 :D
Zoro strong edition v.2 (possibly, if i cant i will hunt him down later)
Hetalia one coin v.1 Germany (i have been looking all over for him! i found a site that doesnt require paypal but its going to cost like 20 bucks!)
Shichibukai croc (possibly)OCTOBER-NOVEMBER:
Gintama okita G.E.M series figure
Shichibukai boa
Some one coins from the new hetalia set! <3This list could easily change.
I also want to get some figures from the new super styling set, that zoro is _ -

Oh dont worry and keep in mind the time differences. You should have one by tmrw, and at the latest monday make sure you gave them the right email. Dont order again unless you want to be charged twice.
