Yeah, I've seen the boxes in a local shop and tried BiJ and Akaidou for estimates and they show up between 1280 and 1800Yen for shipping. Aikoudo cost more because of it's registered SAL. Jist wondering if that is actually the "true" shipping cost. I want to get Lucnh and Son Goku ^^
-
Don't worry- it is the true number. BIJ is trustworthy when it comes to those sorts of things.

unfortunately not in my case. They had always charged me more shipping than necessary and never refunded or re-calculated.

So I finally got my shipping confirmation from amiami. Apparently shipped on the 1st. Still no proof of postage however. So unless they turn up with that in the next week. (or the parcel arrives) I guess I'll be logging a paypal dispute. I got so excited cus I received a customs charge but then checked the reference number and it was a game shipped out last week instead :/ Still happy for that one but….doesn't bring me any closer to the lost game which cost twice as much.

i wanted to know guys is anybody received sanji's POP SA note?
nippon yassan said it would be released on the 23rd, tomorrow to be exact and so i wonder if he really got released this time? -

This is some sad trolling.
I can't wait for the glm figures to stabalize in price on YJ.

Just got invoiced for Sanji. 5470 yen.
-
I've had notification from HS that Sanji is in stock, but no invoice yet. Hopefully SAL is cheap.
They have pictures of Sanji up:
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10167302b/30/1Also, looks like they put the price up on release. I pre-ordered for 4,930 yet, but price on site is now 5,220 yen?

On closer inspection I'm wondering what that is next to Sanji's leg:
I suspect it is just the cigarette as I certainly don't recall any other accessories, but it looks odd. -

I used pre-approved payment so it's just gone through now. SAL for me was the same :) 980 yen, which isn't too painful. Now I've just got to wait 3 weeks for it to arrive ;) that will be painful

I suspect it is just the cigarette as I certainly don't recall any other accessories, but it looks odd.If you recall no one knew about Kiz's hat until a magazine scan and then subsequently a picture of his box and contents was released, so that could be a cigarette or something else. The cigarette is in his hand already if I'm not mistaken so that could be some other object.
edit: Just saw new photos I think it is the ciggarette.

already had complain from other forum that PA still sells bootleg MSP ace.
they never learntand plus, it is impossible for PA to get new msp ace stocks anyway.
-
i admit i'm afraid that PA sells more bootlegs, i saw they have the GLM with zoro sanji and chopper and i am afraid so i don't wanna buy from them :/
it's bitchy but if they can be fooled once they can be fooled twice :/ -
Hmm I wouldn't worry to much. The bootleg Ace was a really decent bootleg, I mean it took a while for people to even notice. The GLM bootlegs I've seen are much much worse quality from the real versions so I doubt they would have been fooled.
-
well, its probably best not to support a company which so blatantly sells bootlegs and lies about them.
-
Now I'm quite suspicious that the Grandline Men Vol.1 that got re-released for Asia Market are bootlegs too.
ibuyxyz, angolz were selling them. I bought two sets from Angolz and surprised with the quality and ended up selling one set of them. My friend who bought GLM Ace from me compared it to his original GLM Ace and said it was definitely bootleg. The quality of painting and material isn't up to the original Japan version one.
Anyone had the same case, here? -
i guess PA wanted to get rid of their stock saying they got some real one :/
they should have said the truth and apologize and get rid of the bootlegs by throwing them or burning them cause selling bootlegs will only taint their name :/ -

for Ace preorder is there any time given ? i am scared to wake up late :/

Pretty old news, but here's another amiami shipping case.
Ordered a 4 crows x worst figures from amiami.
Requested to send them with 2 SAL small packages.
They said it can't be done, they send me invoice of 4 small package instead.
Figure arrived with 3 different boxes. Which is weird cos all the figures are the same size.
And guess what, here's 1 box they used to sent them…..and yep, it can fit 2 figures easily with extra space for their paper protection.
The total weight for 2 figures+box no.555+paper protection = 1.7kg which still below sal sp restriction(2kg). -
I received my SA Sanji PoP earlier today.. Box is pretty tiny.
Wow, how'd you get it so fast? You have it sent out to you last week via EMS?
It'll be at least the 23rd April before mine arrives, based on past SAL shipping from HS :(

btw, is it true he comes with 2 cigarettes? are they identical? is one just a spare?
-
^ What did you order from AmiAmi, Blacksmith?
-
HLJ sure is taking their sweet time putting Ace Battle Ver up, Ami and HS have already sold out…
-
^ What did you order from AmiAmi, Blacksmith?
Oh, the one that picture isnt from amiami, i just used it for example. The one that i got from amiami is already been opened.
It was some TFOA stuff. It was baldy tesshou, and some unimportant TFOA. Kinda regret it, i should just wait for mandarake.
Im paying full price for characters that i dont really care. T_T -

my cat woke me up it's 5 am now will go get some more sleep i'll check later :)He meant our time :P
Sold out on AmiAmi and HS. Waiting for others. -
What sort of misspelling with Arlong have that causes people to miss his pre-order like they did with Bonney, Perhona, Moriah etc.
I'm guessing Aaron
-
FAZ ACE is sold out on amiami and hobbysearch only hlj didn't showed him yet and i'm stalking >_<
-
Hope they make a pop fisher tiger with koala by his side
-
I'm guessing Aaron
XD
That would be epic !Wait… Does that mean we'd have to change the name of this very forum...?
-
Damm, i missed the preorder of FAZ Ace Battle Ver at amiami :(:(. I hope i can get one from hlj.
-
Don't worry guys, Figuarts Zero Ace DEFINITELY would be available on AmiAmi on release date. That's the way I bought my FZ Ace Japan version.

this one looks so awesome that i am afraid that it runs sold out everywhere :/
if i don't pre-order him i will have no choice but wait anyway :/ -

If it is still sold out I'm pretty sure they would re-release him at some point ^^. And you still can get him on release date somewhere else ^^

Its like so many ppl ordered a spare one, and trying to sell it. -

Yeah its weird. FAZ are harder to pre-order than POPs (cus POPs have so many other sites doing) but aside from the crew and a few others (Hancock) they're pretty easy to get once released.

Usually they would release more figure than the pre-order number on release date so it's pretty much easy to get the figure after release.
But for SHP crews, they follow Megahouse evil plan, make the number short and then go for a re-release.
I don't know if they will repeat this trick for FZ Ace Battle ver., but most likely they won't.
I got FZ Boa Salome (for a friend of mine) pretty easily from AmiAmi on release date. She should be popular, right? Just like Ace.
If you badly want him from AmiAmi, you can install FigInstock warning on him so you won't miss him once he's available on AmiAmi few days before or on release date.If it is still sold out I'm pretty sure they would re-release him at some point ^^. And you still can get him on release date somewhere else ^^
Yeah, the evil route of Megahouse finally being followed by everyone. Make shortage of stocks on pre-order, and then announced the re-release just 2 months after the first release. Amusing.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
A non-evil company will open the pre-order for one month, just like GSC and Alter and many others did. Then, based on the pre-order number in from all web stores, they produce the figures. They will be very difficult to get once released since it was based on the pre-order number more or less.
But Megahouse and now Bandai limit the pre-order qty on almost all Japan webstores to create this "pre-order chaos" to hype up the figure. The pre-order lasted only for seconds, even for the unpopular figures like Sentoumaru or Crocs which you can get everywhere now. -

You keep saying that but FZ aren't harder to order than POPs. I secured an Ace at Ami with ease.
I can't say I can secure POPs at Ami with EASE the way I did it with the FZ. The only scenario I see a POP being ordered with ease is if you order it locally or get it through a less known site like Aimarket or Figureshop2go or something.
Harder to order than POP? I beg to differ. FZ Ace lasted 5 minutes on Ami. If I saw a POP last that long it'd be a miracle… or a misspelling.Relax, that's the case with Figuarts Zero before Bandai decided to play the same trick from Megahouse book on the Straw Hat Pirates pre-order.

I think the brand name was partially the reason as to why she was so easy to order for you from there. That, and the fact that FZ are always available upon release and stay that way. Preorders can sometimes sell out (I still see Smoker, Tashigi and Kuma FZ available), but upon release you're always good to go for FZ.

The problem with the Strawhat crew and their stock was this.
When the line started off it started off with some major characters and announced some other popular ones (Chopper, Law, Marco, Mihawk etc) which sold pretty well. Then Bandai took the piss and started releasing stuff like Strong World Shanks and Ace and then some really minor chars like Bepo and Jozu which they couldn't shift. So they reduced the amount of stock they sold and announced the main cast while the stores keeping the same stock orders they had been doing for the more obscure chars thinking the line itself was to blame.
And then the crew were released and sold really well. So wasn't enough stock for demand. Which is why they need to now to a re-release of them all. Its really fault of two parties. Bandai for releasing obscure chars before the crew and the shops not having much faith that the crew would sell due to obscure releases.

XD I've had no trouble at all getting pre-orders down for all of the recent POPs (Bonney being the only exception) cus I refuse to use amiami now for them. With a lot of smaller stores like animarket doing POPs its a lot easier to get than if you just try with amiami. On the other hand I had to search for Robin and Chopper figuarts (althugh ended up with two) and Hancock had to wait till release cus they sold out too quickly.
Dunno about Ace today. only thought about getting Arlong but was put off by his price. -
^ Another reason that would make sense is: Megahouse and Bandai (both under one holding company) told the web store to limit the number of pre-order for overseas buyers. The reason is they already have their distribution network worldwide. That's the only virtuous reason I can think of them for the pre-order limitation. And that's why some IP got blocked on AmiAmi during pre-order time.

If you don't care about JP ver. then POPs are simple to get from stores like Animarket and other off hand ones like that. I'm talking about the main stores that the majority order from with intent for the JP ver, that's where it gets hectic. Figuarts Zero Ace battle ver. was surprisingly easy to order off AmiAmi, and that was after my cart/login screen crashed with two refresh screens on top of that :/
-
Certainly possible but they're limited in Japan it seems too so…
I forgot to mention one other thing which could be causing weirdness for stock. Bloody being undecided in what they show and what they release. Robin (Shabody)was shown off a year and a half ago. Still not released. Nami (Shabody) and Eneru a year ago. Still not released. We seen others like Hiruluk, Ryuma, Sogeking, Sanji and more. Not released. If one person is waiting on a figure they saw that could mean they avoid the rest of the line up until they do release them. I've seen it before. Doctor Who line is struggling because people want Rory but there's no sign of him and its putting people off buying the rest of the line.
