Hey 1UP– Any final word on SA Franky? At this point, do you think we should order him elsewhere before orders close?

anyone seen WCF Z Edition Vol.2 lately on Mandarake?
Chopper set? He's pretty easy to get I think. Most places still have him in

Good work…....Pre-orders now closed at HS. Only took 10 minutes.....Seem he is quite popular after all.
Also, I was wrong above.....HS is going to be EMS only I think I may get mine from 1Up after all.
Still waiting to see whether HLJ are doing 5% or 10% off.......................
Update:
HLJ only doing 5% off. Between that and potential EMS shipping, f that. I'm going with 1Up me thinks......

Out of all the listed shops only 1Up can help you avoid customs (and BIJ once they put Shanks up).

and NY, that is if they send the correct item…..if at all lol......they better not screw up my Franky PO!!
As it is, I don't get customs on imports under £240, but still, 1Up is looking like the best option. 8,400 yen including registered shipping!

Eeh you can import such expensive goods without getting pestered by customs? Must be nice living in… Dressrosa? Lucky...
-
Hehe, indeed it is, just worried what's going to happen now the King has resigned…..lol
Back to Shanks, he's looking very good next to Beckman, I can really imagine how he'll look on display now:
And don't worry 1Up. 360's are coming, lol
As promised :!

That is what i did as well, i was at work when the order started, i was on my phone refreshing pages of HLJ meanwhile i checked amiami who was just lagging until sold out then hobby search was there but i didn't took it because i had a bad feeling about EMS and i was right so in the end i'm fed up so i grab 1Up one, don't have to think about it anymore xD
-
It's very clear that 1UP offer the best price here even compared to Amiami. I 'm pretty sure that Nippon Yassan will not be able to beat that ever.
I ordered it yesterday at Grandline Shop because i was totally sure that the GLS could not be beat easily ZEHAHAHA and YOHOHOHO !
When you add the shipping cost from Amiami, it will be something like 88$ to 95$ -
Seems that the GLS has become so popular it's caused the site to go down, lol

Now it happend after some packages from one 1up without Tax , now the German customs catch one packet from 1Up for me :-((
tomorrow i have to go to the customs station
-
ah yea im sorry to hear that, I heard the german customs are random with that, or maby because they noticed packages coming from the same person/country perhaps? :-/
-
yeah its random sometimes i get 2 or more with tax and sometimes 2 or more without so that´s the game :-)))
thats no problem

Hey guys, I need some advice. NY's Franky price is at the lowest it's been since opening for PO - Only $174.40
I've heard a lot of people have had problems paying for their pre-orders once the they close - http://myfigurecollection.net/blog/6052
It's already happened to me with my Sadi-chan.Anyway, I want to take best advantage of this price before pre-orders close on the 13th so I'm thinking of paying now.
Has anyone here experienced problem when paying for out of stock pre-orders @ NY and were they ever resolved?
When I contacted NY about my Sadi PO they just sent me an invoice for the price at PO, which is more than what it is now :( -
Update:
Aw well, I bit the bullet and paid. It's the equivalent of me paying just under 20,750 yen shipped, so I'm relatively happy.
That's like the retail price of 15,750 + 5k shipping, I guess you can't expect to get him less than that…....roll on July!! I just hope NY get him in early!!
-

I did the same thing. I can afford to pay it up front so no worries there. I've never used them before, but they're the cheapest I've seen. Hopefully they deliver.

I got my Chopper DX from them. They usually ship a couple of weeks later than BiJ, so if Franky comes out early July (Being a LIMITED) then expect his to ship mid July.

Will the Grandline Shop have Film Z Aokiji orders like it did for the Film Z Mugiwaras? I don't care for the kid Nami (GLC was better), but I gotta have that Aokiji!

I can get it in for preorder but they offer me at a little higher price than normal so im not sure if i should offer it or not.

I mean, I'll buy it anyway, but that's just me.

Just an FYI more than anything else. Megatreshop pre-orders for Sailing Again Franky Maximum closed on Wednesday, so any Japanese shops are now down to the last of the stock that they pre-ordered.
Nippon Yassan still have
1352 remaining and the price is still hovering around the $174 mark which is reasonable. In fact the GBP price has just gone down to £115.26 so I could have saved myself £1.29 if I had held out on paying…....but hey ho.......he could have just as easily sold out by now......Anyway, where ever you choose to purchase him from, good luck!! Can't wait until July!

@1Up:
Banpresto Master Stars Piece, Gintama: Sakata Gintoki & One Piece WCF Film Z Vol.4 in stock now :-)
I emailed you about Gintoki! Not sure about how to add it to my pile of stuff you already have for me lol

I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in, but do you guys have some good sites to buy figurines that can be sent to Europe?
-
biginjap.com
amiami.com
1999.co.jp/eng/
hlj.com
otacute.comAll of them ship worldwide.
Edit: but since I see maggie lurking in the thread she'll probably post a more thorough answer.
-
The'' new'' zoro MSP seems to be made very well, some of you might tell me a site where pre-order?
I used to shop at the Banpresto otacute and the prices were good reminder that Naruto and Luffy I've paid € 12 each hour otacute but does not sell more Banpresto!
And other sites like aikodo and angolz not find them ever MSP
HELP! -

Ehehe I check periodically on my phone while at work. Most stores in Japan will ship to Europe, or were you looking for places that would mark down the value of the parcels?
calogero I really can't understand what you're saying. Grandline shop will be getting in the MSPs upon release I believe. Alternatively, hlj and big in Japan as well as akiodou carry prize items.

CDJapan is having a nice sale. Bought a fig for 50% off, I'm happy since thats why i waited to buy it, to get it on sale.
They have Kid POP for 4800yen, another stand out was the Maguara Pengiun Figma for $15 bucks but its sold out. I would have bought it just for the penguins.

Thanks DanMatrix. I'll admit, great item prices, but what's with the insane shipping!!
Shiliew 20% off - 6,800, EMS shipping 7340 yen!?!?!
Kid 60% off - 4,800, EMS shipping 8140 yen!?!?!Urgh…...pass again for me I'm afraid. Thanks anyway
-

That's such a cruel joke.
-
That's such a cruel joke.
Haha, yeah, it's like those sellers on eBay that sell stuff for $0.01, but then charge $200.00 for shipping, lol
-
Not a cruel joke at all. It was obvious to pretty much everyone that Kid would plummet in price a few months after release.
-
That is ridiculously high even for shipping for Kid, is it not?
-

I think you missed the joke. The joke is that they offer such a low price, but then charge such high shipping it completely negates the saving. It's probably not even costing them what they quote to ship, therefore they are profiting from the shipping cost even though they're having to sell the figure at cost price….......damn capitalists, lol
-
My order was the first time Ive bought from them and the shipping was 900yen SAL for the item i bought. HLJ shows 880 so I guess their fair on SAL plus they give 300 points when you register so I instantly got another 300yen off.
They have sales pretty regularly so for SAL items their good atleast.
-
actually some times eBay sellers place $1 for item then $200 for shipping is to avoid charges from Paypal and eBay which charges a % of the item selling price but not the shipping?
-

Actually, ebay screws sellers by taking a percentage of the shipping fees as well now. No, really. They want sellers to charge the actual shipping cost, but then they take a cut themselves so that the seller loses money off the shipping. Nice of ebay, isn't it?
-
Eh, no. Ebay needs to make money too. Charging $1 + the actual value of the item for shipping was basically a scam by sellers to deprive ebay of its main revenue source. Normally I'm the last one to defend the practices of big corporations, but I use ebay all the time and if they weren't making any money through fees they'd just find some other (worse) way to squeeze it out of sellers.
And anyway, they lowered the final value fees at the same time so it all evens out in the end.
-
eBay makes plenty of money, and also gets your money with PayPal as well. Just changed a bunch of their rules, I am not a fan. Been with eBay for 15 years, it's just business centered now but at least it lets me sell my stuff. Their new policies that keep changing are just getting harder and harder to deal with personally.
-
I'd personally rather conduct my own sales and use PayPal directly, than do it through Ebay. Yeah sure Ebay gets you access to a wider global international market and is a great medium for that, but… the fees are annoying and can really add up if you sell a lot. I'm trying to maximize my return here, not be forking out a percentage of it to ebay everytime I make a sale.
-
Can't disagree with that. Most of what I sell are video games and other media and the fee percentages on those are pretty brutal, especially with Buy It Now. Want better fees? Just sell hundreds and hundreds of items a month and become a power seller! Bleh. I get why they do it but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
But still, I think it makes perfect sense to fee the shipping charges equally. In most cases, the price of an item evens out regardless of shipping charged. The same thing will sell at either $5 + $15 shipping, $15 + $5 shipping, or just $20 with free shipping. Well, there is some psychology involved; the $15 shipping on the first one would put many people off, while the "free" shipping might seem more appealing, but that's beside the point. What I'm saying is, the same amount of cash is ending up in your paypal, so ebay reasonably deserves the same percentage regardless of how you split it up. Again, I don't necessarily like it, but I do think they'd have been stupid not to do it.
And yes, private sales are best but it can be like pulling teeth getting a deal together sometimes.
