I think its a bit too early to hope for timeskip prototypes. It's only been what.. a month? since they showed up.
One Piece Collectibles v.5 - See first post for the Release List

Got SW Nami v2 today, small box indeed, good for SAL unregistred or something.
I got her by (free) FEDEX at CDJAPAN.com
No customs either, but with FEDEX you never know… I might get a bill from them in a week or 2. Atleast theres no waiting period, so that's good and even with customs she'll be 50% of the archonia price. Free shipping is awesome! I would have gotten SW Franky but I don't really have any space to display him with the other strawhats =')As for the new POP, I hope for Gold Roger. Since Megahouse does the same thing as Banpresto most of the time (Garp, Brotherhood DX, Blackbeard, Whitebeard ect.) chances are they finally make a figure out of the former Pirate King, I hope not because I really want to skip a few POP's and this would be a must-have for me =p
-
Doesn't really matter does it? By the time they come out it'll have been months since Time-Skip. It could be like the SW ones where we got sketches for them and then protypse later on. Hell Chopper will practically be a repaint so it wouldn't take much effort to resculpt him.
I'd be happy as long as we get some proper chars like Admirals or Shichibuki tho. I think we are about due for another new girl POP too.
Anywho. New one:

It would actually be pretty cool if Megahouse or Banpresto made a Chopper line featuring all of his forms. His TS reindeer point is awesome.
-
I personally think that Walk and Heavy are way overdue POPs at least. It woulda been so much awesome if they made his Suit Heavy Form instead of Brain.

Not only would it have been awesome to finally see a heavy point pop, it would also look much better next to the rest of the suit crew + it would be accurate to Oda's sketches (haven't seen the movie yet). But "Mascot point" sells I guess..
-
If Megahouse will make a Marco POP I'll do something really-really bad like throwing old people into puddles of mud :P
Kizaru and Akainu are musts, same goes for Doflamingo and Moria, and I really want a female one. I think ones who have chances are Perona, Bonney or fem!Iva.
-
I really want TIME SKIP LUFFY!!!! bring it on!
I don't care if its GLM, Super DX, POP…... Pls make them really nice. -
anyone knows any proxy person to buy me something at yahoo auction hongkong?
-
Luffy and Zoro WCFs shipped this morning :)
The next POP has to be of Buggy! Or Jango! (impossible xD)

Oh ya come to think of it, an Iva POP would be really cool hahaha XD
But seriously, what other female POPs can Megahouse produce at this time? I personally don't see Perona coming out, so Bonney would probably be the most likely one. But she isn't really much of a key character either, at least for now. Maybe when her past is revealed by the red dog or something, she'll become more interesting…
Any more new female characters? I'm personally rooting for Makino or Nojiko adult to get a release sooner or later, although chances are slim. Lola warthog zombie anyone?
-
These are the ones who are deserving of POPs imo. (In no apparent order.)
Akainu, Kizaru, Moria, Doflamingo, Chopper (Heavy/Walk), Ivankov, Buggy, Magellan, Perona, Rayleigh.
All have been pretty important. All have had adequate length of time doing important stuff too. After that we'd be getting onto ones like:
Hiruluk, Not-Dead Brook, Olvia, Tom, Zeff, Eneru, Arlong etc. since they aint done much in a while but are/were still kinda main to the plot.
Then they should start doing not so important chars like Law, Bonney, Kaku, Mr. 3. But these are the ones they shouldn't be resorting to if they ain't done the more important, deserving chars
Mild: Sabo, Young Hancock, Guard Point Chopper, Kuina
If it's too early for Time Skipped POPs. The only ones we should see between that is Swimsuit Robin and possibly another Chopper (cus I can't see them wanting to wait another year at least to release another one of him.)
-
A Dadan PoP is a must then.

Yes. Her too. Strippable version
And Sengoku.
And Hannybal. cus while minor he's still did a helluva lot more to the plot than some chars people keep demanding.
-
Magellan would be awesome, but hes too big to keep in scale and if hes too small it just wont be cool. I think he would look fine the same size as the Ichiban Kuji Oz though.
-
We do have huge-ass Kuma and Whitebeard, Magellan is thier size in the story so~
I always wanted Hina and Alvida, but since they did like NOTHING during the war…
Perona is very popular in Japanese fandom and all Japanese are suckers for loli designs. Bonney deserves a POP not less then Tashigi did back at the time, so~ -

Sure, I'm willing to wait, what else can I do, but seeing that makes it hard because I love GLM Luffy so much ;__;6xd5pc1CECA
… that's creepy, I just literally thought "man, I wonder when the next part will be up", scrolled down and .. woah. Will comment on the video itself, per usual.

Magellan's got lots of buttons collars and doodads and he will be way more challenge and end up just a cool figure in general if they decide to do him.

received parcel from Chris
thank you so much for the help
my girl friend is so happy to see her wachi field limited edition bag.!

Anyone know where to find the 'symbol of death' key covers that isn't playasia? it's a set of six but they pack them randomly and you can only order two at a time. I ordered and I got the 2 in the set that i didn't want =_=;;
-
So I FINALLY, after almost a month of wait (pracel was shipped on 19th), got my Miracle Battle Cardass set 4 box~
Cyber got Kizaru Omega Rare so I was secured with that one, I really wanted to get rare Robin and Omega Chopper to give him back, but didn't.
But, out of all cards from this set, the one I wanted the most myself was the Miracle Kira Blackbeard one…
And guess what~ :3
Jackpot!~I also got the lovely anime 2011 calendar today, Shichibukai + Admirals poster is so good that I obviously couldn't wait untill July/August to use it, ripped off the page and hanged it on my wall :P
I didn't even notice Jinbei wasn't on it before my sister pointed that out :P
-
when i looked my amiami orders in the past
something made me laughed
SW POP sanji + brook combined SAL unregistered they charge me 3850yenand look HLJ, sanji costs 980yen and brook costs 1280yen
total only 2260yenso be careful when u ask amiami to combine shipping with SAL, sometimes its just….rip off?? not sure, but if not combine, usually amiami only 100yen dearer than hlj.
-
AmiAmi ALWAYS adds up on shipping if you ask to combine or devide an order :///
Happened to me a few times, I will never ask them to do it again :I -
More importantly, how did your get thoes insanely cheap prices? 980yen for Sanji POP?
Edit: Oh, those were the shipping charges. lol I thought you were comparing final price being higher than shipping… Ah well. You got me excited. :p

Amiami does tend to rip u off in shipping cost. Makes u wanna think that they are Hong Kong sellers based in Japan. They are definitely notorious with overcharging people for shipping cost imo. Heres an example…. I ordered Strong World Brook, Usopp and Sanji, Tashigi, and Croc...... EMS shipping cost = 8900 JPY.... FML!!!!!! I asked for a quote to split them up via sal... they got back to me with a friggin insane quote totalling over 12,000 jpy in shipping cost. U are so wrong AMIAMI. Maybe someone should add them in the Redflag Seller for overcharging for shipping.
-
I came home today to find a sexy guy from japan on the kitchen table…
It was Zoro! :D OMG he is amazing. Spent like an hour figuring out how to display him.
Did you manage to get all three sheaths in the black holder thing at his waist?
I'm thinking I'm going to have to sandpaper it, like jajejijoju said.
Bought some stuff off YJ from someone who ships internationally . . . OUCH! That exchange rate! 14,000 yen turned out to be 176 USD. Painful.
-
They not ripping u off or anything. They just don't have the appropriate sizes of boxes.
I think they only have small box, and EXTRA LARGE BOX!!!!!…...so there you go...
Some POP can't fit with their regular small box, so you will get super big box with high shipping. -
I have at least 5 different sized boxes from AmiAmi, so~
-
@Al!naJames:

i have at least 8 so far….i don't think it's the box size...it's just crazy
-
@Al!naJames:

I have a couple too. But their box size is just weird. It seems their medium size boxes are only design for just 1 figure, and that's just a normal one.
The problem is, some POP boxes are bigger than a regular POP. And amiami will have to jump to a bigger box…....waaaay bigger. I remember amiami send me 1 POP with such a big box that will fit 3 POP of that size. -
Like I said, if you ask to combine OR devide an order, they will ALWAYS make it cost more >_< Probably they add up funds for changing it?.. I dunno.
Sometimes they do charge an ok shipping, but most of the time it almost completely kills off their price discounts since tottal ends up being the same as HLJ's or other stores. -
@ Izumi, christ than is a haul and a half….enjoy opening all that stuff haha. Nice man!
@ people talking about amiami: Sorry but they don't rip you off on shipping as far as I can tell (and I've ordered thousands of dollars of merchandise already in the last 5 months to know). They charge you accordingly and accurately (EMS charge/Small packet SAL/SAL) according to the official pricing guide in Japan post (visit their website if you want to confirm their rates: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/english/index.html). This is the proper and accurate rate for posting things from Japan….HLJ seems to have slightly cheaper shipping rates because they probably have some discounts from shipping so many packages and pass the savings (some of it anyway) to the customer...I'm sure Amiami has some discounts too since they send out so many packages but they just choose not to pass on the savings (instead they discount the merchandise via 20% ish).....but there is definitely no overcharging going on. They are slowly getting better at having different sized boxes too versus the beginning (like Blacksmith says, before it was either small or xx-large rofl) and even put my Saber Triumphant Excalibur and Black Rock Shooter boxes (infamous GSC oversize boxes) in custom boxes so it can be shipped via small packet SAL.

That's how I felt when I paid Crease last week, lol. I hope the dollar starts to rise soon, but I really doubt it.

Like not so long ago, I had alot of small merch on order, like a t-shirt,a tiny box of cards, a keychain, den-den mushi tapes and a POP (I think it was Zoro?). Most of the items were neither heavy nor large, so you could easely fit everything in one box, I thought. I recived payment requests for all of them in like 1 day so I decided it would be nicer to combine them in one box to give post service less work and I assumed I will save some money on shipping since I will be paying for 1 box instead of like 5 and packing one box, printing out adress, shipping it and all takes way less time then 5.
And guess what? Combined shipping for 5 orders were like 5000y and AmiAmi's price after merging the order turned out to be like 6500Y for shipping!!! >__<
If that's not a rip-off then I don't know what it is >< -
Hmmm normally the charges i get is either 100 more or less compare to HLJ with unregistered SAL. I never get overcharge. I always avoid EMS or SAL Parcel as the price tends to get almost doubled. I learn that shipping 1 item at a time is cheaper than combining them.
-
Anyone got this? They look cute! & very expensive for such a small toy. Are these limited?

They aren't THAT small (about WCF size as sensui wrote) and I don't remember them to be really rare or anything.

Heh, there is no way Sanji and Brook could of fit in 1 box to use "small packet SAL." When you requested "SAL" specifically, you used "SAL parcel" instead which has comparable rates to EMS except slower in most cases, this is what happened to you…everyone needs to go to Japan post page I listed earlier and understand your options when shipping from Japan. So no, Amiami didn't rip you off, more of a miscommunication as you didn't know the difference between small packet and parcel SAL. I shipped Brook and Sanji seperately through Amiami unregistered small packet SAL and it cost 1380 for Brook and 980 yen for Sanji.

but amiami is not necessary the case, which I didn't notice before untill today.HLJ simply doesn't offer SAL parcel to my knowledge, because they think it makes sense to just offer EMS in its place (most of the times it does)…but some people live in countries where there are different laws for duties and SAL might be more advantageous, I don't know....but straight from Amiami's FAQ:
"We currently have two basic shipping options available: EMS and SAL
EMS: Recommended for most orders. Fast, excellent tracking, insurance, usually takes 3-7 days for delivery worldwide.
Unregistered SAL Small Packet: No tracking or delivery confirmation, no insurance, most economical, subject to size/weight restrictions.
Registered SAL Small Packet: Slower than EMS (3-6 weeks for delivery worldwide), delivery confirmation, insurance up to 6,000 JPY, subject to size/weight restrictions.
Size/weight limits for Small Packet: total external package dimensions 90cm with a maximum length of 60cm on one side (for packing box, not item), up to 2kg in total weight.
SAL Parcel: Recommended for large shipments to S. America, Africa and Europe as the rates are more reasonable than EMS. Fewer weight/size limits, delivery confirmation, up to 10,000 JPY insurance, more expensive than SAL Small Packet"

I did manage to get them in. But they were so tight together i was afraid they were going to get scratched so i just removed it all together.
I also had a bit of trouble with the gun. It seems to sway to the side a bit. looks a little awkward. :/
But he still is a great figure. I think he replaced Neo 3 zoro as my favorite ^^
And new pops. Yay!
Law is a get. I really hope they make him!
I would also like to see another girl. Bonney would be great :3 -
got my SW zoro and chopper in suits! really gorgeous but I gave up trying to put zoro's swords together. Too tight a squeeze. Chose to make him holding them instead.
I also got DX Croc and Mora. WOAH! They're totally awesome! Best croc ever! his skin is a little dark, but meh. It's not like shanks at least. Man, what a great sculpt!
