Man, those two new sets (the TB gashapons and Styling 5) are really awesome. I haven't bought anything in a while but these are looking like must haves.
Is it just me, or is Nami's outfit really stupid? The styling figure, I mean.

Its Oda
s design from the cover of Yellow.
You just called Oda`s design stupid?
Preordered both sets :B
I would preorder them, but i don´t like this:
Note: Important note about the variation of this product: These items are marked as "trading kits" ala "trading cards." The Packages are sealed and the items are randomly packed. Because of this, it is impossible for HobbyLink Japan to handle request which specific figures and we cannot promise which figure you will receive in a box. Please place your order for this item only if you are willing to receive any one of the different types.
^That turns me off of pre-ordering from HLJ also. From what I've heard though people are relatively successful in getting entire sets in one box order.
Anyways, One Piece Special Styling set came in today, love em!!
Also i got the gashapon set with the characters weapons. I think it's a unique set and i like it a lot.
Now I'm awaiting a couple more individual gashapons and the wait for the new P.O.Ps continues.
@Al!naJames:

Hey, not every design can be a winner.
And yeah, when HLJ says that you can safely ignore it 90% of the time.
Grr. Still waiting for my Nami P.O.P.
Toys N Joys takes forever. It's been…pff...9 days.
Well, it took a week for my Smoker POP to arrive from those guys, so don't hold your breath.
I don't think they've even shipped it yet.
^If they haven't sent you a shipping notice yet then you should probably call them up. The number is on their site somewhere. With all the negativity surrounding that site you'd have to be as lucky as AWB to have your item in stock and actually receive it in a week. They're really a hit or miss online shop.
Argh. Shit.
Looks like I'm gonna have to give them a call.
EDIT: Called them. They're not open yet, they're six hours behind EST….so I left a message. If they don't call back, I'm gonna keep calling till I get an answer.
If they do ship her out tho, don't be impatient. It usually takes 2-4 weeks.
Well, who knows, but maybe calling helped. Nami finally shipped today. =D
I hope my P.O.P figures can survive the 90-120F weather in a tin car.
With the holidays,Vivi took about 2 weeks to ship then 17 days to arrive.
wonder with just the 4th of july anfd the sudden weather seasons if they will arrive faster this time
update on my order for OP season 1
OP Season 1 English DVD-5.27(site release)
Shipping -6.2.08Blah
amazon has Movie 8 Used for 13.?? + shipping and handling
Two new sets added to HLJ:
One-Piece Strap 1 Box (10pcs)
I want these. How much does HLj usually charge for shipping for gashapon sets?
I got Blue grand Elements last Saturday, and HLJ has shipped the Yellow Grand Elements. I'll get Red as well in a few weeks.
Recived new Sunny keyrings set today
Under hide a picture of my POP Chopper I recived the other day and some picutres of my huge real sized Chopper figure in cherry blossom!!

Well, I bought the "Luffy's Family" set last year, and the shipping was 780 yen, or $7.45 US. That was for SAL shipping.
ooh… I like the rotational abilities of giant Chopper's arm/wrist joints (how you made his hooves rest face down on the ledge).
But I guess that's the least you can expect when you're paying hundreds of dollars for it. XD
according to the reciept i got my 3 figures are total 5,130 yen
is there a way to get the shipping notices in US dollars since dollars is less than yen?
Mini sunny is back up for pre-order on HLJ. Finally put my order in. I was watching it's status like a hawk.
Now i have to try and find that other sunny model.
@KF22: Just paste the total into google and hit enter.

Just to save you time, KF22:
5,130 yen = $48.78 USD approx. (using Google, as Buuhan said.)
He'll never learn that way. XD
But I do love google, it's pretty awesome that it works as a calculator and converts prices.

I always find it simplest to think in terms
1 yen = 1 cent
On a typical day, estimating that way gives a slightly conservative estimate of the actual price (which may be good if your bank charges you for foreign-currency transactions, or supplies a non-ideal rate)
Obviously, if the dollar drops below Y100, the rule is no longer useful; the weakest it's been recently is about Y95; it usually sits in the range 100-120. From what I understand, decades ago, it was as high as Y300.

When I started buying items offline, the JPY to USD exchange was 136JPY to 1 USD.
Right now, it's 105. Things were nicer back then…
thanks all.

Huh? Does that mean HLJ are processing/shipping the POPs now? Assuming you are referring to them. The account's page is down again so I can't check mine, and I haven't had any e-mails.
Me neither. But as far as I`m concerned Shanks & SanNami should be out any day, yeah?
I doubt she's talking about POPs, guys. She said her order of "three" items comes to 5,130 yen, that's about the price of "one" POP.
3/26
P.O.P Children were 1710 Yen each when i ordered through 1st preorder
the total was 5130 yen .the shipping was 2.08 or 2.80 but now shipping disappeared from the shipping prices
My Nami P.O.P. left a post office in New Jersey today, so I should have my P.O.P. by tomorrow or Saturday. Whoo!
Now, I have to wait for my Sanji P.O.P. to ship at the end of the middle/end of the month.
Does anyone know the exact date for the Sanji P.O.P. release? (Everytime I check HLJ it just says May)
HLJ never says what day it'll be. They usually get it on the 30th or 31st of the month shown, they usually start sending payment requests/shipping them out in the first week of the month after the month shown. Expect it June 1st-June 6th.
Damn D: I go away on June 10th and get back on 19th, means it has no sence in making the shipping a EMS since if my 3 (actually 4 POPs, one`s for a friend) ships at that time ems would get them here during the time I will be off D:

I was checking some sites yesterday and they said the 19th, but if what Buuhan was saying is true we won't be seeing it for a while. This is also bad for my Sogeking since I'll be away in August, not unless I get EMS shipping.
Well, my Nami came in the mail today. I panicked at first because the box said "Wii Play and WiiMote Package", but I guess that was some random sticker.
I hope Sanji comes out on the 19th, that would be kickass.
So, here's my current P.O.P. collection.
!
so far i haven't gotten a payment notice to pay for them yet, which make me think that i won't get them or they won't be shipped out yet
Master Chef your Luffy seems to be a bootleg - the end of his jacket is done wrong >_>
Yep, I was gonna mention that too. Your Luffy looks like a total bootleg, I was gonna let it slide as your camera, but yeah.
Also, why in holy hell do you have your Zoro holding the actual blade of his sword? Poor Zoro…
Yeah, I figured that, too, but I'd rather not spend even more for that Luffy.
@Buuhan
I was gonna try and move the blade, but I'm too nervous to move it because of the fragility of the figures.
Hidy all! I sold all of my OP things and have only the plushies I made or people made for me left.
Anyone interested in Lucchi?
He was a very complex one, I would normally charge around $70-$80 for him. But since he does have some errors I can let him go for $40 plus shipping. Magnetic hat and Hitori are included.^_^
I also have an Ace with jacket, hat, and backpak that opens (I paid $140 for this) but am offering him for $40, he's clogging up my plush shelf(I have no room to put my newly made Mello and Hagi plushies)
PM me if you're interested, they'll be going on ebay if not.
Gunbunny, wtf? I was conversating with you over PM about buying stuff from you and you ultimately stopped replying and now you said you sold everything? I'm kinda sad, I was looking forward to buying some cards and getting that Crocodile figure from you.
@Master Chef: That makes no sense, you put the swords ON him. You have no reason to be scared of moving it. And buying a bootleg simply cause it was cheaper? Haha, okay. I do admit it's the best boot I've ever seen, but still.
Volume 1-45,red and blue data book,whole set skypiea SH figurines and a mug with the SH flag on it :D

Sorry. But someone offered $300 and had the money in my bank account in under 24 hours. I've been without a job for almost a month now. So I had to get my bills paid.:sad:

I know you put them on him. I don't want to bend them or anything. It'll be a pain to take the white sword off and try and get it on perfectly.
I didn't say I bought the bootleg because it was cheaper. I'm saying now that I have a Luffy, bootleg or not, I'm not spending another $100 on that specific P.O.P.
Well I guess you were aware of it when you bought him with 20$ or something ;)
In other news - I recived Robin that Local send me and Luffy from chinese LOL set =D Luffy is very funny, his head and face are ok, but his butt… is not XD Robin is WOW!! Id say she would have been much more cooler then POP if the paint were done more properly and if she was made of PVC. The figure itself is AMAZING <3 That guy on ebay still have some few on sale so if you
re interested in having a nice Robin figure dont miss your chance. It
s as good as DX figure at last and much better then styling figures. Pictures are cominc as soon as I`ll get back home and grab my camera (ie: wednesday).
Slightly aware. I thought I scored a bargin at first.
I believed to have a bootleg Sanji gashapon figure until i found out alot of the ebay sets I saw had sanji holding the chopsticks in the same position as mine, horizontal-wise.
can someone transdlate something for me? I need to know what its for since I got it in a kiosk Cart in my local mall and its in japanese

The fourth diorama world set? The one where they're eating noodles…I have a bootlegged version too. You can tell it's a bootleg because it has a really odd copyright on it :blink:. Most of the ones on ebay are bootlegs.
A lot of bootlegs are ripped from official molds, so it's mainly paint quality/copyrights/packaging you have to look at.
I have the official version coming to me soon, so I'll do some comparisons when it arrives.
What's the thing you want translated? I only know a little bit of japanese, so I probably can't help..but maybe someone else here can.
It's been almost a month since I ordered that Pell keychain…
I don't think I'll be ordering from cartoonparadise again.
edit-
I can't even find the url to their site. Is it dead?
