I may not be able to make pre-orders for Usopp next week, but am desperate to get him!! Is there anyone who I can trust to give my HS account details to who can place the order for me? Is this something that anyone ever does on here? Thanks in advance.
Preorder/In Stock/Ordering Discussion

Back in- well whenever I ordered Perona at BIJ, I had to pay ¥3700 for EMS shipping. And now I just checked my mails to find out that they won't another additional ¥400 for the shipping. Not cool. :|
-
just got an invoice from animarket that I think my Moriah is in… and it's going to be $138 bucks x.x is that even a good deal? I want him... but I'm considering letting it go ;n; I just... UGHNN DUNNO it's SO MUCH
-
Well shipping was expected expensive, big box/EMS style :-x
But he's worth it, that's what i know, he's supa :-D -

That's probably one of the cheapest places right now, lol.
At HLJ: 8550yen and 3760yen for EMS = 12310yen. Or, 160 Australian dollars. ;_;

the cheaper one plss thanks Robin I will search for it since it was released…
-
I think either way they're gonna be too expensive.
Sadi-Chan and Hannybal should be up in the next few days. Anyone know if they anounced pre-order dates yet? (they did for a good deal of the previous ones) dun wanna miss Sadi's order on amiami (is it me or does their site barely work in general) and most other places still aint put Nami and Shirahoshi up for pre-order from last month so :/

on 6/1 at 16:00 hour in Japan, Figuarts Zero Sadi-chan, Hannybal, and the Fishman Island Chozeki Damashi will be up for preorder.
-
So tomorrow morning? Thanks. Will have to try and get up a lil early for them. Hopefully amiami will work enough to allow me to pre-order.
-
good news,
for those who pre-ordered those Grandline Men Vol.12 from me on Ebay a few months ago, i finally secured half a box of stock of those for the price it was pre-orderd!
im glad i was able to fulfill all those orders for u guys and girls who pre-orderd from me, dispite the stock shortage situation problem there was.
the pre-orders will be all send out first thing in the morning to u! :-P
thank you for your patient, understanding and your support as always! -
i paid 3700 yen EMS for Perona @ Hobby search damn it >_<
i can't stand paying so much for shipping :(
-
Also I got some stock in for those grandline children Vol.4 in the grandline shop, for those who missed it:
-
Its 4pm in japan and i don't see Sadie figuarts for pre-order anywhere yet. I hope I don't have too stay up till 5am just to order her.
-
Thanks amiami. Thanks to your crappy site that doesn't work once again people have missed out on the figures. Better be restocking these.
^ They are up but sold out within 2 minutes
-
I was able to easily get one from amiami and Hobby Search. Looks like HS is having another shipping campaign. If you pay for your order upfront you will get half off shipping.
-
Thats insanity, I'm watching hobby-search and they haven't gone up yet.
-
They are up at Hobby Search, but the site is lagging.

ah so they have actually put them up? Thanks for letting me know. I know they usually put small amount up and then put them up again later on. Still ridiculous that the site breaks whenever anything gets put up there.
-
yeah thats lame, you have to search figuarts. Got Sadie! Can go to bed happy now thanks for the heads up. Ive been just refreshing the home page.
-
HS are closed for reservations anyways by the time their page loaded up. God this is soooo annoying. And they'll be easy upon release.
-
Wow I must of snagged one of the very last Sadie's. Sorry to hear you missed out Cyber.
-
lol I wouldn't worry that much. Those figures could turn out really bad and if someone really wants them anyway there might get them at release date or the re-release. ^^
-
It annoys me how Ace, Arlong, Zoro and Mihawk were there for hours yet these two went in under a minute. It really does. HLJ aint even an option anymore since they stopped doing figuarts it seems.
The point of a pre-order is have the feeling knowing that you 'should' have the figure there and ready for release. If the opportunity to pre-order doesn't even arise then what's the point.
-
Lol, I should start doing pre-orders for those one piece figuarts now, bit I never bother with them tho.
U might even receive it before Japan send out to u :-p -
Problem with figuarts I think it can go either way. Mugiwara were really popular. Everything else….not so much. It's a kinda hard one to price too. Since as much as I'm complaining about missing on the pre-orders. I wouldn't pay anything more than base price for them. (Well. Sadi I'd pay base for. Not so much Hannybal)
-
if i was gonna offer figuarts pre-orders also, then the price would be the same as hobby search/hlj range.
-
Fuck i only just seen Sadi-chan and the other guy came up for pre-order today, and they're already sold out on AmiAmi and Anime-Export which typically has them cheapest.
That's very annoying! I really wanted Sadi in particular at the best price.
-
Initially I didn't want Sadi-chan but since I had the chance I tried ordering her with my phone during work. Surprisingly it worked better than I though but when I was about to hit the 'confirm' button she's gone (at HS by the way). Never mind- she'll be available later on anyway.
-
These aren't POP, they're frigging figuarts zero. They'll be in ABUNDANCE upon release. No worries there.

Yet POPs are insanely easier to pre-order. It's silly the way it works.
-
Even POP are easy to get here, POP and figuarts are both easy cop :-p
-
so many places like Animarket now do POPs that they're easy to get. It's if you do HLJ or Amiami or one of the major sites and leave it there you'll struggle.
-
Maby I start selling POPs like animarket also LOL.
Starting with usopp should be good :-p -
Yeah you're talking about silver stickered international versions though. And the reason why POPS last so long on other sites like Animarket or wherever else and not the main shops like HLJ, Amix2, HS, Otacute etc is for that exact reason.
If you're looking for Jap ver, POP are about as easy to preorder as sticking your hand in a meat grinder.
Don't even give me the bull about they're the same item, sticker makes no difference yadda yadda, I already know that. I'm not looking to spark a sticker debate. But you can't sit there and tell me POP are super easy to preorder like it's nothing. If you're looking for HK/international version of well anything then yeah they're easy to get.
Japan ver.? Not so much. -
exact same figure. It's still easy to get.
-

ROFL!!! Yeah even HLJ is hard now. For the bigger boxed POPs (non-SAL-able) I am going down to my local comics shop (that is literally one street away) to see if they can order the USA version. Walking down the street is so much easier than waking up at 4AM and having a nervous breakdown as sites hemorrhage and I deal with sleep deprivation and the impending unavoidable EMS charge.
ehehe Cyber your inbox is full >_<;;
-
deleted some. Sorry.
And I emailed HLJ earlier about the figuarts. They emailed me at first saying they knew nothing of them. But later emailed saying they'll be up for PO in the next few mins. That was like 8 hours ago now. Guess they're not coming up today.
-
Maby the japanse version with the gold sticker is hard to get becouse the whole Japan buys/eats/gobble everything one piece up!? So there isnt enough japanse stock for outside/asia/europe/states?! Even my friend from Japan who isn't into one piece knows one piece is the biggest thing in Japan, even non-one piece fans knows about one piece :-o
It's maby big like NBA in the states level?!
Maby it's big like soccer in England level?! -
The Japanese version stocks are sized to cater to Japan customers only. So when you says there aren't enough stocks of the Japanese version for the remaining world, it's quite obviously the case. Few years ago, they produced more stocks because Japanese executives didn't know why there were so many online orders but figures still remained a very long time on physical shops without being sold.
Now, they know those added orders are coming from overseas, that's why they stripped down stock sizes for Japan and hired some export companies to handle oversea stocks. But people are still used to order from the same Japanese sites… -
thx for insight xinyingho, now we know why is why :-P
also what do u lot think if i also opend pre-orders for the future POP releases like usopp ect?
as i seen everybody frustated/tired when it comes to pre-ordering POPs somtimes, i could open pre-orders for the day so everybody who needs em from this forum are able to get em easy and without problems, prices would be like japanse retail prices with 5% off, i know i cannot offer more % off like amiami becouse they big and everything, they are the top 1 players LOL.
but yea let me know what u lot think of this and would i get support this idea/move! -
@1Up:

but yea let me know what u lot think of this and would i get support this idea/move!I think it's a good idea, but you'd face pretty stiff competition from those importing International version POPs, like local shops and stuff. At least for me, the main idea of ordering from Japan online stores is because they are JP version, and nothing more. I know the quality doesn't differ between the 2 versions, but I'm just so used to collecting the JP ver. that I'd feel really weird if I just switched over like that. You could try it out for maybe… Usopp and Franky? And then make a more concrete decision based on your responses for the 2 figures.
-
I think it's a good idea. But like said. Stiff competition. If you could price match animarket and get in early I would probably jump to you (only thing I didn't like was that it took a good few weeks to have Bonney dispatched)
-
Yeah, only reason I order for Japanese sites is the speed in which you receive your goods. I choose HS over HLJ for that reason, I want a POP as soon as it comes out, which is why it's so sad having to wait for Asian/US versions when I can't afford the Japan Post EMS shipping.
-
Alright thx for your opinions!
I can do things quickly here, I can open pre-orders soon also, just need to confirm the prices and how much cheaper/discount I can offer them POP here.
Also most of the time i can get the stock sooner in than japan, by the time the japanse shops send out your invoices to pay for it, I have probally already send out your POP order out to u.
And u also can order multiple orders in for one figure, just not those crazy numbers tho.
I try my best to offer the cheapest shipping prices also, what animarket offer for shippijg prices i can beat that by sending it out registered shipping and still be cheaper than there normal airmail/SAL shipping cost.
And I'm straight at the spot, so everything is gonna be handled quickly, unless there is a major delay and out of my hands situation.
I was was also thinking to open pre-orders with a deposit requirement, like $15-10 to secure your pre-order, what do u lot think is a good amount/idea? -
idk, maybe you should work on better packaging first.
-
I think it's definitely an interesting idea, probably a good alternative for those who miss PO's!
idk, maybe you should work on better packaging first.
Don't want to start an argument, just wanted to point out that if you have an issue with 1Up's packaging it would be a lot more polite to try resolve it in private first.
Edit: my apologies, it's true that I don't know the details. Still, maybe just a negative in the Feedback thread is enough? Either way, I'll drop it now.
-
Has anyone used Hachioji Toy, and would you consider it good/dependable?

Hachioji is pretty good, their shipping is a bit expensive depending on where you live. I recommend paying HKD on their site instead of USD or Euros if you use that since their conversion is a little off.

And you think I didn't try that? Why you trying point things out without even knowing all the details?
