I feel the same.
Meiko would be a day one purchased. Luka I would probably buy two.

I don't think im selecting unregistered SAL again,
Makes me too nervous not having a clue where my shipment is in the world.

NEVER go unregistered. once was enough for me. always go registered. it's only a few bucks more.

Just paid for Dizzy. Only 2 more figures and I'm (hopefully) free!
And add me to the list of those forsaking that Miku; honestly it just looks bad all the way around, especially the colors. A shame, since I like the concept overall.

Delayed? Until when? March? Like the MFC listing is showing?

10 figures thus far with no problems. Everyone watch out... we're crazy.

keeping that in mind from now on.
My unregistered order that shipped around the 8th, no clue where thats at.
Could still be in Japan or it could be at my post office waiting till the snow is gone, heck it could even be sitting at the bottom of the ocean.
My registered order that shipped 2 weeks later, well that just arrived in New York yesterday. going to take a while to get to Alabama but at least I know where its at.
<- sadly has nothing better to worry about at the moment.
there's always horror stories with lost sal items
it's a gamble and i dont like gambling

This late in the month, anything that isn't out is probably delayed.
It is known.
Thanks... well I still didn't receive it and it's 2:20pm there... Hope I get it soon. I'm ready to start my Attack on Titan collection!

I didn't want that figure anyway.

All that image says to me is "I never use condoms".
Ooh, I'm pretty jealous. Then again, I chose Tharja off a coinflip so I'm not one to complain :y

Not quite sure why since technically she's been released...

Anyone know where i could get an authentic megurine luka figma? I see a few on ebay, but they look a bit sketchy
I usually only choose unregistered unless I have no choice. No problems yet, but yeah I do get a bit nervous about it when I stop to think about it.
I've started ordering a lot of figures by registered SAL and the tracking isn't really much help. All I see is that they left Japan and that was 2+ weeks ago. With times like that between updates the tracking doesn't seem especially useful, but it's still better than paying $30+ EMS shipping on a single fig. Any time I have more than one item I'm willing to go EMS though. So fast.
Setup a fig in Stock notification and check mandarake. I got mine from mandarake. Keep away from eBay. It's a cool figma, definitely worth paying a little more to be sure it's the real deal.

I've never seen that image before but damn that's the perfect post right there. My necks hurting and laughing so much has made it hurt even more T_T
I usually have to contend with unregistered stuff from the UK/EU cuz anything with tracking is express and very expensive. They always arrive but usually after 2-3 weeks. I hate not knowing where my packages are. USPS has spoiled me since they have tracking for most of their domestic services now.
So yeah. Bandai is going to release SH Figuarts Mario...
I kind of want all that without the Mario figure. :/

That does not look as schway as the Neno Luigi. And Bandai, hurry up and release the rest of the Supernovas and yo Magi figures. Hopefully the Kingdom figures that were revealed at Jump Festa don't suffer the same fate.....So yeah. Bandai is going to release SH Figuarts Mario...
I'm in central NY.
It was actually until Tuesday. :<
Temperatures had been hovering in the single digits (Fahrenheit) to below 0 range the past couple of days, so was putting off the fairly long (~40 miles) drive to IKEA until today which was supposed to be warmer (and it is, at a balmy 10 F).
Oh well, I can wait until the next time.
Though to be honest, I should probably be looking at other lighting options anyway. Even at sale prices, 2 x DIODER strips + 1 x DIODER pucks is $70 for a single DETOLF is a little too much (though the results are quite nice). And since I currently have a matching set, it's a good time to switch to something else and be able to retain symmetry (which I hate not having).

That happened with my last shipment with SAL registered and I decided to check with USPS and lo and behold, it was getting delivered that very same day, lol.
So I believe, that after it leaves Japan, whoever is handling it in your country will possibly have the tracking information for it.

I've been enabled a number of times in this thread, glad to be able to "help" a fellow FigureGAF'er
drive their finances straight into the ground.
She is a nice figure, and chances are she'll climb back to 15-17k once GG comes out.
Those were my exact same thoughts lol. He looks way funky with those joints, and not in a good way.
checked the USPS tracking and they have the exact same info. I wonder if I'll see the packages get sorted through NY JFK That's where they usually stop for EMS but not sure with SAL.

Pretty much if I have the ability to choose unregistered.
Edit: Gintoki figure to be up for preorder on Thurs 6th Feb and the P.O.P One Piece collector Excellent Model Portrait.Of.Pirates One Piece "MAS" Phoenix Marco on the Wed 5th Feb

I've found that my packages tend to go through the same or very similar routes whether I use EMS or SAL, just the timing changes. As far back as I can remember, every one of my packages from Japan has gone through JFK before going to the next sorting facility. I will say that my SAL packages tend to sit at JFK longer than it takes for the package to go from Japan to NY. It's so odd.

Momo, Senjougahara and Taiga just showed up. Yay!
Gotta work some magic this weekend to get them displayed. Room is super-tight until I get to IKEA to pick up a billy or something. But from what I can see, I love them all. Great figures. Momo is pretty breathtaking, though.
