Haha very true. Do you think it's safe to pick SAL Small Packet shipping over International Shipping?

Their site doesn't indicate if there's tracking with SAL and it's only $5 more so I chose International. I don't buy much from them directly and exclusive bonuses are rare so I try to not want it to get lost.

That's a great looking figure, even if it is expensive and extremely light on accessories.

figma Corrin just shipped. Time to wait a few years for Good Smile's slow ass shipping.

Ah shit, I want these but I fucking loath blind box bullshit.

You get the full set on 10 on Ami, which has all 4 Inklings and 4 clothing sets and probably one extra of each.

My December Ami is so big send help

Got shipping soon notices for my Hot Toys BvS Wonder Woman and Daredevil from Sideshow. Now the true question is whether I pick up Punisher as well...

Legends Netflix Daredevil looks so good. Dat printed stubble.

I think I would have liked season 1 Daredevil more. His black costume was really basic I suppose but I liked it more than the super suit.

What I really want is Luke and Jessica.

Also Punishers hair bothers me in that figure. Why didn't they give him a tightly cut hair.

it'll be offered at the soul web shop. after the tamashii soul nations event. (which this is specifically made for) Nippon Yasan will carry it.

holy crap it freaking looks good. thanks for the heads up!!!

edit:
hopefully/most likely easy to get but sometimes it's limited for tamashii nations event items can be hard to get. fingers crossed.

ok found it!
take a look at the size comparison F91 vs. Seven Sword.
https://youtu.be/4mXTBoc1VXg?t=18m37s

the only downside for web exclusives, since it's not being sold at retailers and only through bandai website:

there's no early bird pre-order discounts options like from hlj, amiami, etc.
you have to pay the domestic JYP tax. the benefit of non web exclusives, export retailers avoids paying/charging jyp domestic tax.

for example:
i got the standard color f91 from hlj for 17,100yen (about 150USD) which retailed for 20,520 JYP (8% jpy tax included)
link: http://tamashii.jp/item/11610/?wovn=en

since hlj doesn't charge tax for imports, it was 19,000yen retail with pre-order discount = 17100yen before shipping.


in terms of price, you should be able to get the F91 tamashii nations color for around retail 21000yen (includes 8% JYP domestic tax) as Nippon usually just asks minimal 500-1000yen additional (5-10 bucks) commision for ordering it through the web shop and carrying it at their storefront.
basically whatever it costs from the web shop plus throw 500-1000yen on top = the cost Nippon Yasan will sell it at.


edit:
you also might want to wait now that there's a P-bandai America shop and see if it's offered there and what the price is compared to the JYP web shop.

P-Bandai
Soul Web Shop Japan:
http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/

for the Japan site, as soon as you click on P-Bandai site, there's a proxy service offered to ship for USA/international customers: http://p-bandai.jp/


P-Bandai America
http://us.p-bandai.asia/tamashiiwebshop/

P-Bandai America ships from China and launched recently. only select items are avail vs. Japan. (No Macross allowed in the US) so i have to go P-bandai japan or Nippon Yasan for P-bandai Macross items. Gundams are distributed in US so that's allowed on P-Bandai America.

That actually looks really good. How do Bandai's offerings compare to Arcadia? And other than the missiles what differentiates this from the regular version?

Got an AmiAmi payment request for Figma Corrin and I realllyyyy want it but can't really afford it and know if I leave it the odds of getting ever are zero since living in the UK these things don't float around or even get sold around here. :(

The choice is obvious. Don't buy it. There will probably be other stuff in the future that will catch your fancy.
