@sensui:
I really don't mind paying more (within reason) to 1) Ensure I get the product and 2) Have great customer service and support. So far Amiami has been the best choice imo in terms of price, service, and delivery for all the things I buy and that's why they get at least 40,000+ yen of business per month from me. Only reason I had to buy the Admiral Figuart Zeros from Hobby Search is because they ran out so fast on preorders. But I must say, so far I like Hobby Search's format as well, nice and organized website and decent pricing. If things go well with this order they will be my backup.
For those that have problems with price being reduced on POPs or any other products after release, you can just choose to not preorder it/buy it at release…..keep in mind it's just a risk you take because no one can fully predict if the price will skyrocket or depreciate afterwards. If you can live without the product anyways, then I would just not preorder and wait for these sales....seeing these sales really don't mean much to me since I already got the figure on display and I'm buying a piece of mind/happiness.
P.S. RedDragon, glad you got things resolved, amiami send me payment notice and explained I had the order combined with other things later in the month hence the delay. Yay again for amiami. fanboy
Gotta agree on that one, if you're so focused on the price you probably shouldn't buy any of them since you don't really NEED them…
I do, and my hobby comes with a price =p (just like any other hobby).
I might resell SW Chopper and SW Nami ending version, I like them, but I'm not a Chopper Fan and I like my Nami Neo v1 better...
Also I wonder how WB's gonna look like behind all those other POP's, I even reserved him a spot behind the Strawhats, he can stand WITH his base too =p
