Managed to score the last BlackBeard POP from Play-Asia.
Now excuse me as I go to cry about this months bill (BlackBeard + Black Rock Shooter + Dead Master)

Heads up for whoever may want Garp… Play-Asia has ONE available
Guys… question.
AmiAmi has this on Perona and Shanks SW:
In the event that this figure's pre-order allotment sells out during the afternoon of January 12th there will be a quantity reserved for the evening of the 12th as well. Please note that we are completely unable to give information regarding the time or date of product updates.
Has this happened already?
most people say no.
Yeah. TrashCat was telling me so. And after a bit of browing through ToysLogic forums, people complain of severe delays and that they still get charged.
Guess that's why they still have Trafalgar Law orders available.
I got 2 seperate orders, with two different order-numbers. :) so I think this will be no problem at all. however I'll email them first about the changing of shipping address and send ya a pm as soon as I know it's ok. :)
payment is via paypal I think, but credit card should be possible too.
edit: ah ther FAQ says you can change shipment once you tell them to ship your item, so this shouldn't be a problem. :)
Sorry for that guys, gonna use pm now. ^^'''
Thank you. I sent you a pm but this post answers most of it. I'll keep checking for your PM.
If I manage to find the figure somewhere else I'll let you know as well (I'll hunt Play-Asia for a while)
Thank you once again
well you wouldn't be a bother RyougaZell. :) It wouldn't be much of a problem to change shipping addresses and send payment now. but however you like. :)
if anyone missed perona and wants her from anime-export, pm me. :)
I think I'm really gonna use them this time … ^^'' I'll still have BiJ as a backup. yeah I would have preferred amiami or HS .. even HLJ but well .. at least I have her. :D
sooo~ who has experience with ordering from A-E? ^^ how were your experiences? are they good?
If its really not a problem then I'll take it.
But can you have 2 orders with different shipping address?
And is payment through paypal or credit card?
I could give you one of those preorders I made at anime-export. ^.^ if you don't mind paying upfront that is.
and I dunno about my office's internet policies. XD I normally don't use it for private purposes, but today that was my only chance to get perona from a japanese site. ^^'' hopefully no one checks the internet protokoll for today … cough
I wouldn't mind paying up-front, but I'd prefer not being a bother. I rarely post here this days, so I don't want to look like an oportunist. Better share that pre-order with another more active member.
I'll hunt Play-Asia later at home and if I'm unlucky I'll just have to Ebay her for more later in the year. I passed on WhiteBeard, BlackBeard, Jinbei and Law already… but I just can't miss Perona =/
holy shite guys, that was a hard day … XD
I woke up to see that I missed preorders on hobbysearch and rushed to amiami .. just to get perona in my cart .. but on the way to the checkout all I got was ERROR!! ^^ for one hour .. then I left for work .. there I kept refreshing amiami like crazy and locked into my account at BiJ coz I knew they'd get them ... I waited .. refreshed that page like crazy all day .. and then there was shanks .. O__O soon perona .. gosh I put her into my cart and BAM! .. BiJ was down. XD that was ... not good .. well I checked anime-export and ordered her there ... obviously, I even ordered two of her XD .. must have hammered my keyboard way to often .. XD ahaha ... well I checked BiJ one last time and wohoooooo~ I got perona. ^^'' however if amiami gets her up again and I should be lucky enough to get her there, I'd cancel her at BiJ and anime-export .. not sure which shop to use otherwise .. anime-export is cheaper buuuuuut .. I'd have to pay upfront .. and they're said to be not very good .. dunnoo~~~
looks at TrashCat in jealously
I f-hate my office's internet policies… every damn site (except HLJ) is blocked through iPrism for being specialized shopping sites ._.
God damn it… just killed me... missed Perona >___<
Has Play-Asia put her on yet?
@Al!naJames:
Don't buy Jinbe, but buy BB :P
Im waiting for Jinbei to be placed on Sale seems it seems every store has plenty of him :ninja:
My problem with keeping those two pre-ordered comes from other preorders I have…
I got Fate Testarossa for Jan
Nanoha Takamichi and Ritsu Tainaka for Feb (alongside Kurohige)
Saber Alter for April (and still hoping to score a Law)
Rachel Alucard for May
Not counting Perona yet (if I manage to get a pre-order)
Too much money =/
Shipping for Jinbei is kinda crazy, you better start worrying about Whitebeard =p
I canceled Shirohige months ago.
Im currently debating wheter cancel or not Kurohige. If I cancel him I won't buy Jinbei. If I keep Kurohige, I need to eventually buy Jinbei.

Excellent Model Portrait of Pirates One Piece NEO-DX Jinbei | 6,420.- | 1 | 6,420.-Payment method: PayPal
Shipping method: EMS
Shipping Fee: 5120
TOTAL: 11540JPYThat means it's between 2.7-2.8kg packed from Amiami to North America.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
I think I'll use HLJ for Jinbei whenever I get to buy it then. Jinbei at 7200 (because of 'Our Price') and an EMS of 3760 stands at 10960 at HLJ. And I also have a 10% discount coupon which would net me an extra 720 less yen for 10240.
I browsed through 20+ pages (from page 200 or something) seeking Jinbei's EMS cost on AmiAmi. I only found the SAL cost and combined shipment with other figures.
Can anyone tell me how much AmiAmi charged for EMS for only ONE Jinbei and nothing else?
Thanks in advance guys
If somebody missed the new POPs and/or Nami, they're available at kidnemo:

http://www.kidnemo.fm/product/en/418/One+Piece+Excellent+Model+P+O+P+STRONG+EDITION+Nami+1+8+PVC+Figure.html namiI managed to preorder new ones from A-E yesterday (gone today too…), but I really don't like paying upfront... Not to mention I still haven't received my first package from them (since the preorder I made is for Luffy+Ace NEO DX v2)
I've never heard of KidNemo before
How reliable is this store? And how are their shipping rates?
I don't think pre-orders will reopen until business hours start in Japan, since there's no one awake to change the inventory amount.
That is what I thought before the re-opened them for 5 minutes about 3 hours ago :(
Thankfully its a slow day at work and I've already finished my daily report… but heck... Im getting tired already. I've been refreshing Amiami, through an external slow wireless connection, once every 2 minutes since almost 3 hours ago...
sigh
You are free to do whatever you want, but the ami-ami pictures have risen new concerns for me and just want to make sure people realize what they are getting. Heres a highlight of what I mean:
The 'Square' problem you point out is a vein in the middle of the arm… its not really square...
you know what?!! I'm seriously pissed off right now! I knew when I'd come home from work, I would have missed preorders again .. but now, not only on amiami and hobbysearch .. nooo~ HLJ, otacute and even BigInJapan! what the hell is this shit?!!
Likewise. Its really frustrating how this is going so far.
Lol i'm trying to pre-order blackbeard too, I might get two one from Amiami and one form playasia, I want one to get open so I can hurry and pre-order. I don't want to try ebay because he is like $200 on there. Sanme with marco and law.
I already have a BlackBeard separated with them. Im just trying to find a cheaper option. Even HLJ is cheaper. And I do have a 10% discount coupon for HLJ if it comes to it.
Like I said before… so?
I like him. You are free to not. But I do.
Many here loved the Swimsuit POP of Nami and Boa. I found them to not look like them at all. Nami SW V2 was very criticized here and I love her.
Personally, I see no problem with Law.
And here its me not interested in Marco but seeking Law <_<
Ugh… Im using an external connecion which is slow... I entered Amiami just 2 minutes after your post and it was gone. Marco too it seems.
@Al!naJames:
CDjapan and PlayAsia ask for payment upfront for preorders.
And shipping on CDjapan is usually quite expensive, they don't have special offer running all the time.
If you pre-order with a Credit Card, Play-Asia won't charge you immediately.
Though, it is true they are quite expensive. Its always a last resort for me though. And they allow cancellation of orders. I had Boa Hancock ordered with them for months until AmiAmi reopened orders. If BlackBeard orders get opened again on either HLJ or AmiAmi im switching immediately.
Hmmm… Its about midnight in Tokyo right now... so I guess we won't be seeing open orders up for about 12 hours or so...
At what hour did they open-close anyway?
@iomi and bran-chan
Yeah… I'll keep trying. HLJ is the only site I can access right now (dunno why its not blocked like amiami and play-asia)
I decided to not get any of the WhiteBead crew (as cool as they may be), but I do need to get Law.
This makes me fear when Perona goes on pre-order.
Damn it… I missed Blackbeard on AmiAmi last time (managed to get a reserve on Play-Asia though) back when it was put on pre-order. Now its the same thing with Law? And damn stores are blocked at the office too -___-
I'll keep refreshing this place every 5 minutes to see if pre-orders re-open... or to see if either Play-Asia or HLJ open up...
Im so hunting down that Perona and Law.
Im skipping all WhiteBeard pirates though.
Congrats alina, I think you're the first who manage to put all three swords on his hip. I just gave up, And Zoro looks great holding one the holsters anyway.
I haven't visited here in months, and I don't have a picture as proof, but I too had no problem placing the swords. It took me less than 5 minutes to figure it out and place them one by one.
My Zoro has 4 swords since I wanted him to have the one on the mouth and didn't want to store the other one =P
So what the hell is up with play fkn asia. Its a fkn slow store never going to order from them again. I could just order it at archonia for god sake.
Weird. I've ordered twice from them, and they've always shipped immediately the next day.
They probably over sold or something.
So after cancelling WhiteBeard, Luffy V2 and Ace V2, I've decided to skip on Garp as well. I don't have that much space left, and this hobby is quite expensive (and I want to buy a house too… so I can't spend all my salary on this things...)
Im definitely getting Zoro SW (Suit) and Chopper SW (Suit), to complete the SW set. Im also buying Nami End Ver, cause I simply love how she looks in that shirt. Jinbei and BlackBeard are a must as well.
I think the only future POPs I will buy are either the rest of the Shichibukai (Moria and Doflamingo please). Supernova's (I need a POP Law, Kidd and Booney). Or even other characters I like, like Buggy or Perona.
Heck, even though I have Aokiji, I think I would skip Kizaru and Akainu if they were released.
I haven't taken pictures of my collection in months, but Im definitely taking a few next month when my most expected, non-op, figure arrives. The Aigis GEE Limited Edition.
They should put an extra accessory in the Nami POP box to replace the tone dial in her hand…
That Hancock POP re-spray sold for ¥98,000. I'm going out to buy an airbrush kit!
@embolisher, they could just mold the clothes with the body like most figures do.
That's insane o__O What's up with those guys?
Do try it and lets us know how it goes Crease o_O
LOL. Same story as Hancock. You won't be able to have her that way unless you rip off the shirt…
I still like this Nami more than the Limited edition one though.
Nope mine just flicks right open and closes right up.
Damn… I'll try to open it carefully then ._.
Thanks again
I still haven't managed to open Franky's stomach… is it that hard? Or is it a problem with my figure?
So how big is Franky's base compared to the other SW POPs?
With a frontal view…
Height - Double than normal
Width - About half size longer
Deepth - About 1/4 size shorter
I hope I explained myself right
So my Boa Hancock and Franky SW arrived today. That was fast. They left Japan on Tuesday o___O
Boa Hancock can be described in just one word. GORGEOUS.
And Im quite glad the 'naked' feature needs you to break her. Megahouse would have had to sell her as an adult figure if that was a real feature.
Franky is a monster. I never expected neither he nor his box to be THAT big. He's bigger than the original Franky I think. I don't like his new base though, but I guess it was necessary thanks to the guns.
One question for those of you who also have a Franky. How the hell do I open his stomach? It won't open as much as I try. The clothes don't help me get a good grip on it either.
Yeah they can just cancel the item out of the order. Never done it myself but I've talked to them about it once when I wasn't sure of something. Only cancelled one thing with them ever and it was the logbox (since I ordered 2) after I found out they're all color.
Well… I did it... I sent Amiami an email asking for the cancellation of Ace, Luffy and Shirohige.
Can't say Im happy... but in retrospect, it really isn't healthy for me to spend almost half of my salary on this.
My shelves are almost full as well...
After SW, Im not buying repeats of characters (unless they are Nami and that I like the figure... I don't like the Bikini Limited Edition, so that one was easy to ignore). Shirohige will just have to wait for a re-release (if it ever happens)
Thanks for the answer sensui
sigh
I got my Amiami emails confirming the switch of dates for Nami SW End Ver and Jinbei. Add the matter that an Alicia Melchiott figure (Valkyria Chronicles) was announced for December… the last month of the year is going to be hell.
Shirohige, Luffy V2, Ace V2, Jinbei and Alicia.
Currently im considering cancelling Luffy, Ace and maybe even Shirohige. I really don't need another Luffy and Ace (though both look awesome and better than their originals...)... and Shirohige as cool as he may be... he's way too expensive and his appearence on the series, as cool it may be, wasn't enough to make me like him so bad I couldn't live without him.
Jinbei and Alicia are a must for me. I want all Shichibukai and Alicia wins any day over the other characters.
I know Amiami CAN cancel items If asked nicely (while its not too frequent even). I've never canceled with them before, plus I've bought about 10 items in the past months, so I know they would not deny me the request. But I have several questions... they wouldn't cancel the full order right? Just the items I request to cancel.
Ugh... I wish Megahouse had delayed Shirohige as well...
Jinbei is 6420
Shirohige is 7030
Luffy is 4800
Ace is 4800
Alicia is 5430
Total of... 28480... and based on their weight plus Amiami's somewhat high shipping rates... I would be surprised they charged me another 10000 for shipment... 38480 yen about 450 dollar!! Im not paying that...
Sadly, they need to go... if Shirohige gets a re-release I'll get him. If not... whatever.
I still stand that if Boa's clothes could truly be removed, both HLJ and Play-Asia would sell her as an adult figure.
And if you check closely, its obvious the shirt was broken, from the lower part, to be removed.
Logic people. Logic.
@Al!naJames:
When her first pictures were posted, from Megahouse exibition, I said her shirt was removable, cause she had a gap in her shirt :getlost: Behave
You pretty much have to break them if you want them to come off in fact they don't really move and she doesn't come in two pieces. Unless I'm not tugging hard enough.
And so… time has given me the reason. I said the clothes weren't removable, but rather they were broken. And Kokoro90 has confirmed this.
My Boa and Franky arrived to the local postal office today. I expect them tomorrow at home.
Megahouse changes some POP dates:
http://www.megahobby.jp/products/sale_calender.html
PD: crease, clean your PMs XD.
Damn it!
Jinbei was my sole order on November… and now WhiteBeard, Luffy, Ace and Jinbei on the same month? If Megahouse doesn't push any of those its going to be a painful shipment.
And Im sad to see Nami SW V2 being pushed to October... but at least September's package won't be that expensive... Zoro and Chopper weren't a problem, but my Aigis model seems to be huge so... yeah...
Probably I will sell for the usual ¥7500 for the 24 set.
Hey crease. I'm kinda embarassed to ask, since I've never even spoken with you…
Do you think this item Shining Wind Seena Swimsuit Version may still be able to be found at your sources in Japan?
The cheapest I've seen her on Ebay is about 105 dollar on non-tracked shipments and 127 with EMS shipments…
http://myworld.ebay.ca/toysonline2002/
Does anybody have an opinion of this seller? Seems legit enough, but you never know with ebay..
also: welcome back crease :)
Bought once from him with no problem
Although that was back in 2005 according to my ebay profile :ninja:
I doubt Zoro, Nami and Chopper will come anywhere near the size that Franky and Hammock are
Ah. They definitely won't. That's for sure.
What I fear is this baby:
It costs me 12,980 yen at AmiAmi.
Size 265mm x 350mm x 260mm
Prepare yourselves rofl:
Your order will be shipped upon confirming your payment.

Ironically, even with the ridiculous shipment… its still cheaper than HLJ :ninja:
I ended up paying about 18000 yen for both Franky and Boa.
It makes me fear next month with Zoro V2, Nami V2, Chopper V2 and Aigis (from P3)
Hi I'm new here
Toylet is legit shop. I purchased from there 4 Figures.Normally they ship in one week.
But last month I bought Aokiji P.O.P and it took them 26 days to ship him
and sometimes they mark their packages as "gift" :ninja:
Thanks. I emailed them, but didn't receive an answer.
Im considering buying it through ebay, even though it may be a bit more expensive (than the current shops… almost double than AmiAmi :sad: ) but at least I would have both EMS and Buyer Protection
I mean… I don't even know the game from where the character comes from... but the figure is simply gorgeous.
Anybody know if Toylet.net is reliable? ._.
Anyone ever bought from them? I missed buying a non-OP figure from them because I was undecided wheter to get it or not. And just when I decided it goes out of stock on HLJ, AmiAmi and Play-Asia ._.
The figure I want is the Max Factory Shining Wind Swimsuit Ver 1/7 (http://store.toylet.net/041221.html)
If anyone knows its reliable please let me know. Or if you know a cheaper way to get it please do tell as well ._.
feels ignored…
