@Cyber-Robin:

Wait. Is there more than 6 in a box?

I don't know. I calculated 760JPY x6 and that's what it came to. It's possible there's more or less but that's just what I'm assuming it to be, 6.

Calculated the individual retail price x6 to match the assumed quantity in the box, and even if AmiAmi had it 20% below retail, it would only be about 4$ less than Otacute. I decided not to gamble and I'm just going to order in the sinking currency instead.

@kyoushirowolf:

Hold on a sec, Angolz is a Hong Kong store, but it sells Japanese items right? Just making sure.

They claim to be Hong Kong based but every package I've seen from them has been shipped from Singapore.

@coloredair3:

hi guys! i just started collecting one piece POPs this month! is there a chance that i can still get my hands on those earlier releases? :D thanks in advance!

You can find them on auction sites such as eBay, Yahoo Auctions Japan, etc. However, earlier releases can cost as high as hundreds. Can be anywhere between 50-700$ depending on which one.

Example
NEO-5 Robin: 100-250$ USD(approximately, the lowest price is also considered to be rare)
NEO-1 Nami: 180$+
Bellemere: I've seen her as high as 700$

It's a dangerous game to hunt the old ones down at those prices considering there's always the chance they could be re-released at normal retail cost.

@1Up:

Guys, which service is quicker or the same?
Sal registered or sal small packages?!

If we're talking about Aikoudo, I believe Small Packages SAL is mistitled, I think it's actually "SAL Parcel" which is somewhere between SAL/SAL Registered and EMS in terms of speed. I'm not sure which is faster for sure but I'd just go with SAL Registered considering the speed wouldn't be that different and SAL Registered costs a lot less.

@Cyber-Robin:

Agreed. Even more so since it's the same shop. Means I just paid 3200 (twice the price) for just Vivi. The one I didn't even care about >.<

I think I'll email them about that. That's too ridiculous of a difference.

@roronoazoro:

Just your luck! Nami is up at aikoudo

1600y.. That pisses me off that I paid 4800 for the set when Nami's that little separately.

@Cyber-Robin:

It'll just be a custom I'd imagine.

And yay the Snaps are out. Although I still not heard anything back from Aikoudo about paying from them. Not a good impression :/

It's because you were supposed to click the payment button after you confirmed the order. Send an enquiry in through their site asking for a link to pay for them.

DX Girls Snap out in Japan

Real boxes, hell yeah. I was hoping they would do a real DX size with these, and the difference in packaging this time leads me to believe that might be the case.

20 people are going to be winning a veil by lottery, according to Megatrea Shop with their purchase of Boa Hancock Wedding Version. That is, to my understanding, they have to apply by mail after they receive the toy, and hope they are one of the lucky 20.

It seems like a cool idea, but why would anyone want to cover up her face? I definitely can appreciate the veil billowing behind her and all that, but it just isn't something I'd have on display with the figure. What do you folks think? If you could, would you try and nab one of these for your would-be bride to be?

anyone interested?

I don't like it but it feels incomplete without it. Another dick move by MegaHouse that makes me hate them.. Their terrible bases and recent lack of quality control weren't enough I guess, they had to go do this too.
