Everyone looks great.
i personally love Jango.
Btw, merry's out.
Really wanna see how ppl going to paint it.
@Rey:
This is my first time pre-ordering with them too. And it was strange that I didn't have to choose any payment and shipping option in the process. Too easy, I mean… And it's more strange they are still taking orders for Blackbeard and Garp... :wassat:
I bought from KidNemo before.
I heard that they restocked Nami SW in September so I sent them an email asking if they had any left in case someone canceled or something.
Turns out they had one left and they sold it to me directly through paypal, since they were worried if they posted on the site someone else might grab it before me.
They packaged nicely, but they used Styrofoam peanuts.
Declared lower value and as a gift.Shipping was actually a little higher than actual costs.
I paid 16.99 to ship First Class to Canada, it should have been around 10~14USDBut they have super nice CS, they responded super quick
AAA Anime stickers
Oh great! Thanks a lot, well I can rest assured then, also do they charge you for the pre order when it is released? And how long do you have to pay for your item? Do they keep holding it for you if your don't pay right away?

They don't charge you till they're ready to ship it to you, I just pre-ordered a few of the POPs from them too just in case I decide I need more.
It also states their policy in the FAQ
They'll just send you a email thanking you for pre-ordering
you can also cancel your order from them in the future.
The only thing I don't like about them is that the price is higher than retail, and after ordering from AmiAmi and all the other major Japanese stores I kinda always expect the price to be less, since most figures are always 10~20% off
I kinda feel like a sucker if I pay more than 90% of the retail price.
On another topic(unrelated to One Piece) I just got my Saber Triumphant figure today, bought it from AmiAmi for 63% off
Gotta love overstocks

yo man, i was wondering, you said you ordered frm Archonia right? and they shipped you a parcel using regular ground mail, how many days /weeks took to arrive? i m wodnering if its faster to arrive to Canada than USA or same time etc.. cheers.
Wow so many pages to read… hm the videos were random, but I still loved the Strong World one by uhm... someone... yea...
Ok, and how does this ignore list thing work? Like, you don't see anything that guy posts here or what? Not that I'm going to start using it anyway, since I'm still noob in this area and need to know more than what I already know (which is little btw)...
Btw how is WCF vol. 0 going? I'm not sure if I will get it as the only WCF that I'll ever get, but it looks pretty cool (that, and the fact that I don't have money to collect the rest since I place P.O.P over WCF anytime)
And also (sorry for talking about this topic again) can I just confirm with you guys that there is no difference between the quality of the figures for different coloured toei stickers? (Silver vs Gold)
Thanks guys :)

I used regular mail, and i'm pretty sure regular was via air.
My first order
shipped on Nov 15th, arrived Nov 27
Second order
shipped on Nov 22nd, arrived Dec 3
so around two weeks

i hope next week or end of this one i get my stuff. i emailed them asking of arrival times and they said 4 weeks cuz regular mail is sent by boat lol :blink:
Was it a scientific fact that winter's colder weather makes people touchier? There's a lot more anger going around than normal. :| Don't leave, xinyingho! You're such an integral part of the collectibles community.
I just got the recording den den mushi. The instructions are in Japanese so for anybody getting it, here's how it works.
1. There is an on off switch on the bottom so turn on. There is also a little plastic strip stopping the battery from working. Pull that out.
2. There is a button on the top divided into two. The back (tail) button is for recording. The front (eyes button is for playback).
3. You can record for up to 10 seconds. HOLD DOWN the back button while recording. (everytime you do this it erases the previous recording).
4. Press the front button to playback.I totally love this den den mushi…but my baby has stolen it.
Thanks for the explanation~
I was going to get that, but I ended up canceling it. Looked so cute, I'm kinda regretful that I did. >_>
Anyways, has there been any news about the next MBH set? Thriller Bark? I can't remember if there was and I don't see anything on the front page. Can't wait for the Sabaody set. Hawkins and Bepo. _
~ ASCE ~ace squid crew extraordinaire 
not bad, two weeks.
i hope next week or end of this one i get my stuff. i emailed them asking of arrival times and they said 4 weeks cuz regular mail is sent by boat lol :blink:
yeah there's no way my orders could have been shipped via boat…that would definitely take at least 4 weeks.
Is there anyone who want to pre-order the new POPs but hasn't found any place yet?
Cause I just found out that one of my "proxies" is taking pre-orders. I've pre-ordered a few POPs and other figures from them, but nothing I ordered has been released yet so I don't know how reliable they are.
But they don't require deposits so it's better than nothing.
Pm me for the link,
since there's a lot of lurkers around here I want to make sure regular ap members get first dibs
EDIT: took another look at the link and the proxy is actually already booked up, it looks like and they'll only accepting request to be put on a waiting list
yeah there's no way my orders could have been shipped via boat…that would definitely take at least 4 weeks.
true, there most likely be a different way to ship to Canada and USA then.
just for reference,
Hi Josh,
Everything seems to be OK. The package via DPD has now arrived in Miami is undergoing customs clearance. It shouldn't take much longer.
Regular mail shipments may take up to 4 or 5 weeks to arrive (they are usually sent by boat).
Kind regards
Gunther

Kinda related but I thought I'd drop this news story.
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/105972-Wonky-Survey-Paints-Odd-Picture-of-Japanese-Arcades
If this is true then it could be why the likes of Banpresto are trying to win more people into Arcades with their figures.
There's also the POPs at the end of the month too.
Damn I was in prize figure mode, you are right! More POPs the merrier., WB , Jimbei, and Ace/Luffy Marineford pair… finally! (Not to mention the Bikini Namis this month too heh) =D
Onepiece restaurant!!!
It doesn't look that good tho…...
I'm still gonna go if it's still open when I get there next year. Restaurants in Ginza is extremely competitive since it's usually very high end food…so a lot of restaurants can't survive if it's not good. If it sticks around, you can bet that it's got something that keeps people going. God I miss Kaiseki in Ginza as well as my favorite okonomiaki place in Tokyo heh....NEED MORE TIME OFF WORK.
Btw, merry's out.
Really wanna see how ppl going to paint it.
I knew this thing was going to be not colored from the preorder price, just the show pictures and preorder descriptions implied that it was with the whole colorful parts bit…..sorry amiami, sending in a cancellation notice for this....not time nor skills to paint this heh.
just in case

it seems to me they arent really yellow but like a lime green. yellow was cooler :P
Oh man I would love to buy a set of WCF, never knew they would be so much
nowadays. o-o I'm guessing the new set is going to be expensive as well? $1000
much…? I think someone posted totals already though huh? My bad.
BTW, did anyone order the Limited Edition Opening [[I]ONE DAY] CD, with the Ace & luffy jacket?

hmm I think it depends on where you buy, most places seem to be Out so far but on YJ u can get a set for around 7,800. I think price will go lower by Dec 24th-30th to around 6,500.

do u think i should wait until then?
kinda scared to holdout.
Edit: I just paid for Nami and Marco from A-E and still have them preordered with Amiami
(it rhymes)
do u think i should wait until then?
kinda scared to holdout.
when it first came out it was around the same amount as vol9, then for a while at 8k etc. but as always look at it now 6,300 cheap, and this is after what a month?, i predict same with vol 9.
well I'm going to bed for today and when I wake up their will most likely be 3-4 pages to read, oh goody.
Oh crap I wish I had $80 bucks right now, sadly I have to wait another month. Damn I want that WCF set. D:

Hobbysearch has alot of new pictures from Merry http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10127966
You can see the parts and the guide for how to build it. It is painted (except for the figures) but not like those official shots.

Yep, they all painted like gundam kit.
Never like gundam without them beeing repainted, especially after seeing what they can be.
nami repainted…....that was really quick.
They just HAD to add the nipples… groans
they just HAD to add the nipples AND make it look awkwardly horrible. HOW UGN. SO HORRID. What a waste to a limited POP.

Man i wish i could paint stuff like that, that model looks awesome. Ahh well, i guess i could get the memories of merry Going Merry
I only just caught up on the pages, i had like 20 to read XD. But all of it was about P.O.P's and im not really into them, i might start collecting them when the time-skip mugiwara come out
Woo Yay! My Memories of Merry RoCho finally arrived. Kinda irked how the postman was at his van and threw the box at me while shouting. 'It's Fragile!'
Will have a review of it later on maybe. Depends if my parents want to give me the money and add it as a Christmas Present or not. XD

Probably to add on to the already abundant sex appeal…
Seriously, she's sexy enough as she is... :getlost:

KAKASHI at Amiami for $64 bucks is very intriguing
All of them have potential allocation shortage… looks like everywhere in Japan's on the move now... this can only mean bad news for Perona and Vista P.O.P...
Banpresto's products that come out after March 2011 are going to be more expensive than before. It's even going to be difficult for overseas shops to get.
Nami and Vivi are way expensive o.o
I was expecting like £10 each like the GLM lol
Nami and Vivi are way expensive o.o

They sell GLM for not that much cheaper. Its probally the same price as GLM with other shops. We only dont know if they will have them.
Hmm i thought Brotherhood was bigger.
Thanks for the links allthough iam not pre-ordering anything now.
anyone preorder WCF sets 0 and 13?
which characters do think will be the most sought after in the WCF sets?
Edit@ Snaku..no they dont charge ahead for preorders
@GumGum.. they are becoming much harder to get bc Banpresto is restricting them
And WCF Vol. 0 is up at ToysLogic. I've never pre-ordered through them, but they don't charge you if you use a credit card for a pre-order correct? I've had problems with other online retailers hitting me with a dummy charge for the full amount once an order was placed. My bank account can't handle $260 worth of temporary credit holds right now.
Sorry if this has been answered before, but does toys logic make you pay before the pre order is released? also is 15 dollars for a a wcf average price? I just want to make sure i get that Roger wcf, it will be my first one, i just want it so i can say that i have a roger figure lol
EDIT: actually i want to buy the whole of vol. 0 WCF, is Toyslogic a good place to get it? i want to make sure that i can secure one. But i need to know if i have to pay straight away or not please :)
I have a question, why dont the japanese fans buy POP from overseas? They probably can get it cheaper than the auction sites.
ISn't toys logic sorta blacklisted around here?
I kinda want Brotherhood DX, but at a reliable site or something.
If I can't find it I'll ask someone in Japan to buy trough YAJ
Its looks like they are doing good now. There where problems but they decide to work on that. And they get more and more
good feedback. Iam only worried in how fast they are with stuff when its released in Japan. Especially when paying already
a part of it.
That guy in the other thread says you need to allow them 1 or 2 months after the Japanese release. Wich is long imo.
@Bazooka its 10% with paypal for preorders and 0% with CC

Yay, thank you. :b
That's what I did. Turns out, my opera's fail.
Btw: Custom Shiki:
Hmm yeah, i change my mind, $150 for 8 small figures seems like just to much for me, im just going to get roger and get the rest if i like roger alot, its not released for another 6 months anyway lol.
the next few days are going to be hectic waiting for these to go up on Amiami, Otacute, Hobbysearch etc. etc.
I snatched up the WCFs bc I know they'll be gone by days end.
check that 3 hours tops..u see how fast its selling out now…wow!!
which characters will be the most wanted out of sets 0 and 13??
Brotherhood only 14cm?Is that a joke?
Just preordered both sets. Came out to about 122 US dollars each with shipping.

That's mainly why I put my pre-orders in for both sets. Thanks to Banpresto's new policy, I know these sets will be very difficult to obtain. I'd rather play it safe and pre-order through TL now, than risk not being online when and if other online retailers put up their pre-orders.

exactly.
thats my strategy too..if i cant snag'em somewhere else i have a safety net.
Edit:@__Cyber-robin.__.they've had every other set.
Toyslogic is actually one of the Largest Anime shops in America with major pull..they get everything and announce stuff before anyone bc they are a major distributor.
Oh and thanks Droopy for the heads up!
Look how the stock rushs down…crazy!!
Personally I don't think these are worth dealing with Toys Logic for. I'd rather pick up the ones I want from Yahoo Auctions or something instead.
Don't see how they would get them if other places can't too. Hmmm.
