I bought Fujitora this morning on Nippon Yassan, the last one and i paid 15e for sal registered shipping ^^
Just seen they have him available SAL. 1,880 yen to EU right? Shame his price has shot up to 11,500 yen!! What was he before? 9,500 yen?
I just gave in to impulse and snagged him from HLJ whilst their Black Friday sale is on….......got an extra 500 yen off and shipping was 2,380 yen, so total was 10,887 yen

Uff…when i watched hlj.com and NY Fujitora POP was sold out there and everywhere...i'm kinda of tired of fake sold out, if i knew this i've never accepted that bad shipping on amiami (and they were very rude to me when i complained...and i've paid for it and never asked for cancellation).

You should know by now that HLJ hardly ever sell out of POPs….......only ones that they have genuinely sold out of are Vivi, Mihawk, Roger & Shanks..............Black Friday Sale ended now........should hopefully work out a good deal.........
Only way it would be cheaper would be if NY dropped his price below 9,000 yen..........

Yes, but when i watched HLJ it stayed sold out for two days, i thought this time it was real…
I already paid last week on amiami an insane price with that shipping in Sal Parcel, and now i await an heavy custom fee. I only don't understand why online shop can't inform at the preorder if an item is sal-able or not...i mean the measures of the box are on the flyer of Megahouse, thay can't say they didn't know...

I think a lot of online shops don't like to commit to saying that an item can be shipped via SAL in case the manufacture changes the box dimensions, or they run out of packaging boxes, etc….
I find if you ask them the hypothetical question "would you be able to send an item X x Y x Z via SAL", they will usually give you a clear yes or no. That's what I do............in the case of Fujitora, with his box being close to that of MAS Lucci it was very unlikely.
So I bit the bullet and ordered Fuji from HLJ. Shame he wasn't in stock yesterday when I checked. He's still in stock for HS but I don't want to take the EMS estimate chances. CDJapan had him for near 7000 yen shipping :blink:
Just paid my HLJ order…final invoice came to £60 GBP.......crazy...that was the regular price I used to back for POPs back in the day....I think my Boa Hancock cost me that! Lol

Yes, but i think that it's fault of the shop anyway…i mean, the first years i understand that they are not prepared to these huge boxes. But now if i see that a shop (or two) can offer the Sal and you dont and you force your customer to pay the double of the price...well i think it's all fault of the shop that it is not professional enough to be prepared tho this.

In the end i paid only 10 € more, but i'm afraid of custom fees now…with NY it would be better...

No, I'm still debating on who to contact. I don't know if JP post deals in English and I don't know if Mandarake can do anything about it, seeing as it has already left their shop.

It's up to the shop owner to contact the post office if it hasn't left the country yet. Contact Madarake, explain the situation and then give them your tracking number and any other pertinent information and ask them to open an inquiry with the office they shipped your item from. I've had to do this a few times already and in my experience the package is usually found between 4-8 business days.
I'm not sure who need it, maybe Kanji.
Fujitora available at big in japan.

Thanks diloul, but I already ordered from HLJ. 5,000 yen SAL Parcel from BiJ…......errr no thanks, lol
In other news, we've had some release dates confirmed:
Late April 2015 - CB-R2 Zoro, Nami & Nojiko
Late May 2015 - CB-EX Boa Hancock & Brook
Late June 2015 - SA Kid & Killer
So it doesn't look as though we'll be getting our hands on Sabo or Koala until Early August!!
And all this still leaves us with a question mark over Zoro, Bon Clay and Lao G! I wonder whether they'll all be Megatre shop exclusives.
ONLY 12 DAYS UNTIL JUMP FESTA!!

I hope that MegaHouse aren't planning to be huge jerks and not reissue Mild Franky and Usopp…

I really can't imagine we won't get CB-R3 including Vivi around the same time…......also, with Hancock coming it won't long before we see Law and then probably other Shichibukai/Supernovas.
Still got my finger crossed for a Kinemon. I would also still love to see a Baby-5, Burgess & Basil Hawkins.......

Okay, will do. Thanks for the help.
Stupid question, but what does the "CB-EX" in front of the Brook and Boa Hancock figures mean? Shouldn't it be "CB-R4", or are those two figures going to be limited/exclusives?
Brook and Boa aren't re-releass, they are new POPs. The others are called CB-R* because they have been released previously, and are being re-released again.
Personally, I am overjoyed that I can finally get my hands on these. I wanted 2015 to be the year that I got the kids, I guess Megahouse must have been listening in ;)
Now I just have to find a supplier that doesn't have Grand or Line in their title….. :P

Keep you eye on amiami…....pre-orders closed for now, but it reopens every now and then: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-007768&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_seriestitle%3DPortrait.Of.Pirates%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1
at 7,700 yen, it's probably the best price I've seen…..dimensions are 30 x 27 x 20 cm though which put's him in the realms of Shanks/Beckman...........no guarantee on SAL small packet shipping...........

I think he will sell a lot, so I won't be finding him on the after market for a good price. Let's hope.

See what I said…..amiami has him back up again now!! If he sells that well MH will re-release him..........look at SA Law and Ver.2.............both sold well and can be found cheap now..........
Only figures that become hard to get are the Megatre shop exclusives like Cavendish and Barto for example...........but then they re-released Sadie and Franky so anything is possible...........

He is also available at hobbysearch…so you might be able to grab him there.
He might not be salbale there (although the box of Marco is way bigger than aces is - at least thats what the measurements say)

Thanks both, sadly at the moment my paypal account is in stall waiting for refunding from 1up (I have called paypal and it should take 10 days more or less). I'll find a way and preorder him anyway, I really don't want to lose it as I did with Robin Dereshi.

You don't need a deposit at amiami or HS…..HS even have a 7 day cancellation option.........he won't be out for another 2 weeks anyway.
In other news.............it's been 23 days since my Bellamy shipped SAL SP from HS....................21 days is the longest i've ever had to wait............i'm hoping the weather and the xmas rush are to blame and that my unregistered parcel hasn't gone missing :sad: gulp
SAILING AGAIN FOR THE NEW WORLD
Longest I've waited for small packet SAL was 2.5-3 months and it was during the holidays. I wouldn't sweat it unless you're in an infamous "mail gone missing zone" like Brazil or France.
Is there an "easy" way to contact USPS about my package's status? The website is very restrictive on email inquiries for international packages and I just called them on the phone but the stupid automated response shit can't record my tracking number, no matter how clearly/slowly I say it.:getlost:

I've ordered him! 
Now I'm searching for Robin Dereshi, Gohan MSP & Vegetto MSP. :sad:
EDIT: If I order both Ace and Kuzan SA would I pay less with a combined ship or if they are sent separately? Considering both are sent with EMS (I don't think they would fit SAL).
I'm sorry but I don't usually buy big items from Japan.

If both are EMS only (I'm pretty sure Kuzan is from amiami, although he shipped SAL from Hobbysearch), then it will save you money to combine them in 1 EMS parcel.
but, if one of them is SAL-able it's always cheaper to ship them separate.
Example, with 2 x 1kg items-
Option 1:
Item A - EMS only = 3,800 JPY
Item B - SAL small packet unreg = 1,080 JPY
Total shipping = 4,880 JPY
Option 2:
Item A + B - EMS = 7,000 JPY (2kg)

Thank you, I was looking for Kuzan because he is available for just 35 €, really cheap.
Is there an official release date for Ace 10th anniversary?
@roronoa-zoro:
Is there an official release date for Ace 10th anniversary?
I was invoiced for it a few days ago so it should release sometime within the next week - week and a half.
Sweet news! Still not sure whether to pick him up…....
Delivery times are killing me now...........
29 days since Bellamy shipped...........nothing..........
15 days since Issho shipped...........nothing...........
I really hope they are just delayed and arrive soon!! Gonna be pretty pissed if I've lost £100 worth of figures!
In other exciting news ONLY 33 HOURS UNTIL JUMP FESTA OPENS!! 
Apart from the usual revelations from Megahouse (LAO G HAS GOT TO BE SHOWN PAINTED) and hopefully some better shots of the new DOD Goku, I'm actually really hoping Max Factory make an appearance with the Figma Hizamaru!! I really need some more Terra Formars merch!!
Then maybe some new Medicos JoJo stuff or some new Tamashii Kinnikuman stuff would be cool!! Looking forward to Robin Mask going up for pre-order!!
Got my Fujitora POP today.
Would've never thought I'd say this, but I actually prefer FAZ version over POP this time :/
POP is not too bad, but I have too many complains about it here and there…
First and foremost - he's out of scale with other Admirals (he's bigger) which is outrageous... Thankfully I'm not planning to display them together at the moment, but if I ever did with all 5 (Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, Fujitora and Ryokugyu) on one shelf I'd be hella pissed over this.
Then - his purple over/undercoat is merged with his Marine coat, which, again, is stupid, considering we saw him wear the Marine coat off and on and the purple undercoat always on (like it is on FAZ).
Because of the joints in his arms they look crooked. And his feet look flat (but that's no big news when we come to POPs).
The box, of course, is stupidly and unnecessarily big.
And finally, they went on to sculpt his fundoshi under his kimono (as opposed to just filling the space with plastic like it was done in the FAZ version) but forgot to give him anything resembling manhood ;( So it's all completely flat there. Booo!
I was invoiced for it a few days ago so it should release sometime within the next week - week and a half.
Thanks, i've checked Amazon and it said 28th so it should be around that time i guess!

That's dissapointing about the scale….is he bigger than the Z-Edition Kuzan as well? I think they changed the scale of admirals with Kuzan as he is slightly taller than the original NEO-DX.......
Awe well....either way I still hope he arrives! That's the problem with shipping via snail mail is time of year!
Surprisingly enough our post works even faster than usual, heh… Hope you get your packages soon, Kanji!

Yeah, delayed to Jan, but not confirmed to be late, could be early. http://megahobby.jp/news/article/1155/
