actually it's 4 AM.
Japan is 16 hours ahead of my time zone (pacific time), eastern time would be 3 hours ahead of me…..so Japan is 13 hours ahead of eastern time.....it's 5AM eastern time 5/11 equivalent to 6PM Japan time zone 5/11.
Is this for Rayleigh and Aokiji? What's supposed to be (re)released on 5-12?
Megahouse has already said they're unveiling the new POPs on 5/11, 5/12 is the date they're releasing other new releases/preorders.

I think it's due to the DST. Normally Japan is 14 hours ahead of eastern time, now becomes 13 hours ahead. So 5 AM it is.
yeah for us it's the usual time the POPs go up (9am)
Damn. I'm tempted to go for that Nami. Too bad aikoudo isn't giving me any feedback on whats up with mine >.< Knowing my luck I'll pay for her and she'll arrive today XD
Although that one is kinda expensive. Hmmm.
Dont eorry cyber-ro in, your one will be coming in soon!
My local reseller just opened pre-order for POP Neo DX Rayleigh and Aokiji: US$87.7 and US$90.6 respectively including shipping cost (to Indonesia). Good bargain or not?

Yup, after comparing it with Amiami's price even after discount + shipping cost, it becomes reasonable.
Btw do you usually use EMS for shipping POP? SAL isn't reliable, is it?
I always use SAL, registered, because EMS always get caught by the customs and then….[hide]
[/hide]But I'm in France so yeah… customs are little b*tches :D !

ahahahahaha! Yes I have the same problem here "orz.
Yeah I had that a few times. Although I also found sometimes it was taking just as long for EMS as it was taking for SAL.
I tend to use EMS, mostly as SAL is like five bucks cheaper for me in most cases, unless it's a tiny box. Though lucky for me, the customs margin here is high so I don't need to worry about it.
And benhan, the prices for those are very reasonable, so I'd go for it if you want them.
Wow quite surprised with the troubles EMS caused at customs… Very good info, guys.
@saige thanks for the advice, I think I'll go for it rather than camping at Amiami for that "stupid" yet exciting race... :D
EMS is mostly bad for European countries I think.
Plus SAL isn't that slow from Japan (at least for me) and since I choose reg SAL it's rather safe.
:)
By the way, I still got some SAL packages caught by the customs too (and had to pay taxes).
I just have to be careful so that the value isn't over 6000 ¥ and it's usually okay.

I've been quite lucky this year when it comes to customs. Aint had anything caught.
I recall AmiAmi was pretty bad for getting caught last year. I had about 4 things in one month caught :/

I used to only have be careful that my packages wouldn't be too big (but I can't really always know that xD) or that it doesn't really pass the 10000 yen. Lately I need to take more care that they don't get much higher then 7000

I didn't have a lot of trouble with amiami.. Almost every package I got from HLJ (except the one item ones) got caught D8
Yea most of the time i avoid hlj :-/
HLJs been fine for me XD Especially the past few months where I've been ordering more from them.
I like the sales they sometimes have.. but yeah. Customs can be deadly ;v;

I think it all depends on where you live. I live in the US, I always use EMS, and nothing's been held in customs.

They're talking about customs fees. In the US, you're never going to be charged customs fees. Things do occasionally get stuck in customs for a few days, though. I've had EMS packages take a week, when they're supposed to arrive in 3-4 days.

That can happen? I never knew that. If that's the case, then that has never happened to me. In fact, the record for fastest EMS delivery for me is 2 days (for Portrait of Pirates Jinbe, no less).
@1Up:
ah i see, i think they use registered airmail and not normal airmail, thats why they so expensive.
what about this ebay guy tho, u wanna try it elizabeth? he got free shipping also with it, so actually shipping is about $15:
I just bidded and paid for one this week. He still has quite a few. Its a Taiwan/Asia version though, if you are picky. The price is one of the cheaper ones out there.
Its been sent yayyy
Archonia told me today that they won't be getting any WCF: Volume 0 in stock. I was kinda hoping they would but unfortunately not
Quick question…is Otacute good with pre-orders? Can I cancel a PO without problems or must I buy a PO?

U might be able to cancel with them once. But do it only if you have 2. Cos they are going to make it like its a really big deal.
THey will send u a really annoying email about how u not suppose to cancel them….bla bla bla.

You have to buy a preorder that you make from Otacute, or they'll blacklist you.
Dont know what you want to cancel but you might want to ask in the selling thread if someone wants to take over. Before paying its
possible to change the shipping adress on your own. This way you dont have to make any problems with cancelling.
Otacute not liking it, thats for sure.
Problaly not one of the upcomming POP right? (if yes i might be intrested)
I only canceled one order with otacute and they were super nice about it ^_^;;. But, I'm not doing it again any time soon. I hope!
Two questions:
1. do you know if POP Trafalgar Law and Marco are come back in stock on hlj today? I've seen they are in order stop.
2. Perona and Shanks POP will be released in the middle of the month or at the end?
Why would they come back in stock today? They've been on order stop for months now. They only change them from stopped to low stock when they get them in and dispatch them.
Anywho:
Anyone wanting a Rayleigh + Aokiji? I'm gonna be up and around anyways so I might aswell try and nab them. Even if I don't want myself. State here or PM me.

Because till yesterday Law was discontinued and today is in order stop.
Ah yea cyber-robin, can u nab those 2 for me in case i miss em to pre-order em :-:@Cyber-Robin:

yeah for us it's the usual time the POPs go up (9am)
Actually, I think that's 10AM for you (daylight time savings does not apply to Japan), 11 AM for me…
Sounds doable, only need Rayleigh though

I tried once and they REALLY didn't want to.
Even though my order was almost 2 months late (Will of D Ace and Roger).

I haven't bought anything from AmiAmi or HobbySearch, so I can't say; I know that Otacute won't charge until the items are in stock. What I do know is that you either pay the entire fee, shipping included, right away, or you aren't charged until the items are in stock. Be prepared for either of those options.
The POP's are Silvers Rayleigh and an improved version of Aokiji; go to page 373 of this thread to see pictures. :-)

You know what, for you, I'll look up their policies. :-)
Which POPs do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
Good news! All three sites won't charge until the items are in stock.
