Preorder/In Stock/Ordering Discussion

I know 140Y is a miniscule amount, but that's the guaranteed saving. If you order from Kolektakon now, you aren't even guaranteed to make the "6 order" cut-off. You may end up being order 25 of 29 and having to pay an extra 630Y. I'd rather not risk an additional 770Y just to pay upfront. That's practically the shipping as Nippon-Yasan has quoted me 880Y for SAL.

eh i guess considering all that. But I'm sure there will be enough Kolektakon orders by the cutoff. That and, I dunno, I just don't have the energy anymore. I'll pay an extra $10 just to not worry/order at my leisure. Maybe because I've been slowing down with my purchases, or that I'm barely collecting anymore, just a few things. I do understand some people need to count every penny, though, so I'm glad some people still have the tenacity to go after those 'deals.' ^o^ Makes me feel like I'm passing the torch or something ahaha

Louis-1988

I'm glad I decided to hold out for price to drop on LIMITED POP DX Chopper pre-order. Nippon-Yasan now have him up for 3,200 yen, 140 yen cheaper than kolektakon. Just orderd mine and no advanced payment required

Thought those who hadn't already pre-ordered might like to know:

You seem awfully defensive of a shop only reputed for ripping people off by price gouging items they consider to be rare instead of being an actual retailer.

I don't know what the actual shipping cost will be upon release, but at least Proxykon's will be honest. That 880y is probably generously overestimated to compensate for a price that low. Furthermore, your concerns about not making the cut-off are moot. I will personally pay the shipping costs for anyone who doesn't meet the cut off, bookmark it!

Koginetsunemaru

nippon yassan have so exhuberant price on some stuff but their shipping is fair and they undervalue too if you get pricey stuff for not paying more fees!

i already bought my sanji POP TS and the price and shipping was really nice they are a good store!

You could say the same thing about Mandarake. If there is demand for something and it is sold out everywhere then of course the price is going to go up. It's simply business. Admittedly NY isn't usually the cheapest place for pre-orders, Amiami & HS beat them every time, I was only trying to be helpful by letting people know that it was the cheapest place I've found so far to get Chopper DX. I won't bother next time.

Mandarake deals in secondhand goods and that isn't what I call "simply business". Any respectable ecommerce business like HLJ, Otacute, Amiami, or HS would never sell the figure for more than it's truly worth(retail) and this is evidenced by the fact that they never have. Honesty is the best policy!

There are others, Enzeru?

Koginetsunemaru

of course Hiromi proxy became my favorite!
but let's say that mandarake and nippon yassan being a huge help when you don't find it at amiami HS or otacute!
and things to say nippon yassan sell new and unused stuff mandarake is second hand product but that does not mean they are not like new!

in the end every body can choose his favorite seller

Take note people, there is a new kid on the block and we're here to compete, and for your benefit!

But you can find great deals on Mandarake too, let's not forget that. Besides, it's called second hand because they buy in goods from other people, while most other online shop doesn't do that. Sometimes you can still get new unsealed figures from them at decent prices, plus old figures that you can't find elsewhere. Personally, I think Mandarake is a really good concept.

Blacksmith

Mandarake is just wonderful. Manage to get so many good deal with them.
I got batman statue worth of $500 for just $20 with mandarake.
its fast, change daily, so many stores in 1 place. No auction time, no domestic shipping. Its just really practical.

Koginetsunemaru

when i think of buying local the price of the figure would be expensive.
buying from Japan stores with shipping make it cheaper than getting local.
for me the best way to get figure is the one with who you feel you can trust them when you deal with them.

Never said they weren't a good concept, it's just not how mainstream ecommerce webshop operates. For the record, I use Mandarake every now and then. I was mostly addressing the notion that Nippon-Yasan was justified in over pricing some of the now rarer items at ridiculous premiums. No respectable Japanese hobby shop operates like that, you'll never see dishonesty like that from Amiami, HS, HLJ, or Otacute.

Blacksmith

There are no rules whatsoever about how much they wanna charge ppl.

Charging ppl for more than a normal retail price is normal.
It got nothing to do with beeing honest or not.
Its just busines.

Ppl know how much they need to pay whtn they are buy something.
If they are agree with their price, its their own decission.
They're not ripping ppl off at all.

No, it's not normal. It has everything to do with being honest. Hence the reason reputable retailers don't do it. When they stock/restock they sell the item at a discount or at face value. If the practice were normal you'd be seeing every shop do it and not just a select few and some private collectors.

maggie

^I have to agree with this, it's bad business. A place stocks a figure, they keep the price (or lower it/sale) that the manufacturer's set until the item is sold out. If the business really wants to scalp hobby fans, then that is not a store that should be praised IMHO. I mean, really, if it comes to that, why doesn't the store just sell it on ebay instead of showing normal customers their bad practices by overpricing an item that didn't sell out and is now rare? Might as well just be a resale shop like Mandarake at that point. Many stores do realize they have a rare figure and auction it off, I just feel it's bad juju to have it listed on your website. I've never seen Nordstrom raise the price of a popular shoe/bag that they get back in stock after it was returned at a later date (they have an indefinite return policy for the most part).

Everyone has their right to support whatever business they choose. I have never been above paying a little extra to support the places that I feel are worthy of my business. I feel that if I support a place, then it is encouraging that business to thrive, and that I agree with their business ethics. On a personal note, I feel that this is very important with the current economic climate. Support the places you believe in, or else they might not be around tomorrow. That's worth 140Y to me.

edit: ehehe with all that being said, some places sell out quick, and you gotta get your figures where you can. But let's all stick to and support our first choices as much as possible! ^o^

Its their business and their decision.
The price is already there, no hidden charges.
It might not a good business, but nothing is perfect.
HLJ also got less discount than amiami.
Amiami often said it can't be send with SAL, but it can be ship with SAL.
Its all up to them.

And if you wanna start your online store, just do what you think the best.
But don't tell other store being dishonest just because they're not selling their stuff according your standard prices.

roronoazoro

Well cant blame them. After all its their full time job. They dont get bonus or pay raise.
They also need money to support their family have a good life.
Preorders are like confirm sales so thats why its cheap & they are taking big risk by not taking in deposit.
And after preorder is over it is reselling base on market prices. Well if they can sell at this price, why not, to get more income.
Some well established shops with large successful sales/large warehouse dont do this, some whom just starting this business/ small warehouse/ small time business may.

Kolektakon have their own jobs and they are setting up this proxy to help collectors get the items which are only sold in japan.

So its 2 different things.
In the end its your choice. No one is putting a knife behind your back to make these purchases.

yeah if you are not okay with the way they are selling then don't buy.
it's like when someone buy a figure and sell it here 2x the price they paid, there will always be different price and seller in the end it's their way to do.
as a buyer you choose the one who fit you the most, but call them not honest is going a bit far.

Also retail prices of the figures are never really applied, there's always discount when you see them on preorder, then when they are released some raise the price because they are most wanted most of the time but not that much.

the one who are really abusing the price are the one who are not that famous, Amiami Otacute,HS,Anime Export,HLJ,Nippon Yassan are decent .

Good job not reading a word I said. Let me put it in laymens terms for you. Amiami and HLJ have never sold an item for more than its retail value. It being "their business and their decision" doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to whether or not what you're doing is moral and honest.

And if you wanna start your online store, just do what you think the best.

Not my standard, the standard set by the company manufacturing the product.

Kolektakon have their own jobs and they are setting up this proxy to help collectors get the items which are only sold in japan.

Kolektakon IS my job.

Then they aren't a retailer they are a reseller. It's dishonest to call yourself something you aren't. There is a BIG difference between an individual reselling an item through a forum or ebay and a reputable retailer who sources their product direct from the manufacturer listing a product for x2 the retail price on their webshop.

Also retail prices of the figures are never really applied, there's always discount when you see them on preorder, then when they are released some raise the price because they are most wanted most of the time but not that much.

I'll say it again, you'll never see those shops try to sell the figure for more than it's retail value because they aren't scalpers.

Blacksmith

Man, that's just sad. Calling other store dishonest just cos they're not selling with retail value, especially when you're a representative from other store.

Since when making profit is being called dishonest? Its their own item. They can sell whatever price they want.
They're not lying, they not charge you any hidden fee, but hell…..just because they're selling it above the retail value, lets call them dishonest!!!
WOW.

Seriously, before you do any damage to kolektakon, just stop.
No matter how good amiami/HLJ/Otacute, etc....you'll never read them trashing other store in their website/facebook.

I'm debating you as a fellow collector, customer, and member of the forum, not as 'Kolektakon'. Lets try to avoid personal attacks, shall we? We're both grown men here. That said, look good and hard at the bold for therein lies the truth.

Amiami, HLJ, Otacute, and HS don't have trouble making profit while not over valuing their merchandise. You're absolutely right though, they can set the price to whatever they want. However, just because they can price their products however they want doesn't mean overvaluation is an honest or respectable business practice.

They're not lying, they not charge you any hidden fee, but hell…..just because they're selling it above the retail value, lets call them dishonest!!!
WOW.

It's the truth, and to argue otherwise is nonsensical. The lie and 'hidden' fee are every cent above it's retail value. It compromises the shops integrity, if it didn't no one would raise the issue.

Any store practicing immoral business does a good enough job trashing themselves, they don't need me for that. Hence the reason they aren't mainstream are usually last resorts. I haven't said anything about how great my store is. It's not even open yet, i'll let my customers be the judge of that.

Do you think amiami will get the same discount with other small stores?
Some small stores might need a bigger margins to keep their stores running.

They're not lying, they're not forcing ppl to buy their stuff.
They'll be lying and dishonest if they're stating retail prices higher so it will make their price seems to be cheaper.

That would be about as pointless as going to stormfront or the black power forum and trying to tell them racism is wrong. Or it'd be like going to the Flat Earth Society and trying to convince them that the earth is in fact round.

Do you think amiami will get the same discount with other small stores?
Some small stores might need a bigger margins to keep their stores running.

Retailers buy from manufacturers and distributors at wholesale prices. In other words, they get massive discounts for bulk buys. Their profit margins should be generous, if they aren't then they need to re-evaluate what they are doing in this business and crunch some more numbers. There is an enormous difference between 5k yen and 9k yen. If you're missing target profits by a margin of 4k then something is wrong somewhere.

They're not lying, they're not forcing ppl to buy their stuff.

No see, this is what we call a "bargain" or a "discount" in the retail business. This is how business' of all sorts compete with one another. I can't believe you just tried to use that as an argument lol. You're really grasping at straws.

Discount will be different, depends on how many that you buy. Do you think buying 1 case will get the same discount as buying 1 container?

Hell, take HLJ. If you become their wholesales customer.
Sometimes they gave you a smaller discount than their retail discount.
The discount is that small if you're buying small quantities.
It happened so many times. With retail they give us 5% discount. But for my friend that already become their wholesale customer for 15 years, they only give him 3%. He need to buy 1 case(usually 12-24pcs) to get 7% discount.

But we don't called them cheap, lying and dishonest retailer. Its just business, we just says they're expensive and find some other supplier.

Of course it is, the discount scales, obviously. Still, selling the product 100%+ above retail doesn't add up, the math for it isn't there unless you aren't buying from a wholesale distributor.

This is being a "middleman", someone who says they are a wholesaler but isn't. Whoever HLJ is getting their product from is a wholesaler, it's quite clearly evidenced by the fact that they are able to compete with the other mainstream webshops.

SO BIJ is also ripping ppl off and lying for selling their chopper above retail price?

ROFL don't we all complain about different stores? Amiami's (and now HS's) BS shipping? HLJ, being HLJ'd? Yet some people are loyal to these stores. I don't think it's outrageous for someone to post their opinion about a store or experience don't we usually talk about our opinions openly?

to my everlasting shame, i ordered a POP SA luffy & chopper from Toyslogic. TOYSLOGIC, PEOPLE! Look what desperate people do when they are backed into a corner. And we all hate Toyslogic XD I regretfully decided to collect all the SAs despite how I abhor them. I hadn't bought anything in a while and i got the itch. I haven't even opened it yet. Money well spent. Ugh. (originally had them on order at HLJ but cancelled). Makes me sick to have supported Toyslogic, but since they suck so much they always have stuff in stock that no one else does.

No wonder you don't bring it up. Who would believe that someone like you is actually a moderator? A moderator should be able to correctly use the English language and act like an adult. Surprisingly you seem to not fulfil either of those requirements. I've followed the whole discussion and like I mentioned earlier- Lou pretty much pulverized all the points you brought up. In my eyes you're nothing but a pathetic person pretending to be versed in figures but ultimately you know shit. :3

Edit: Fuck you, Lou. Now I have to edit my post so that BS knows I'm talking to him.

Awwww, so sweet the way you're supporting your waifu.

Its already been said by Urohige, most ppl don't know shit about being moderator. LOL

Can a mod just like…delete all of this pointless argument? It's kinda just....embarrassing now.

I might be new here, so my opinion might not be relevant, but I'm sad about this discussion.
I'm gonna take Louis side on this. I can't see any valid argument on BS answers apart from childish replies.
I just believe that Louis made a valid point by saying that nippon-yassan is not an honest shop.
If they buy from the manufacture company (which I believe might be true due to having preorders) they should sell the product at retail price, and make the profit that the manufacturer is suggesting. Otherwise they're taking advantage of the customers and the figure companies. The figure companies taxes their products knowing that the retailers will get some money from them. Nippon yassan however taxes their products (even the new ones like Bonney or Dofla) way over the retail price, making neat profit for an item that they were already gaining some money from.
