I love the change since theres now a one click button for Free! - IWatobi Swim Club and Uta No Prince Sama, makes it easier to browse my kindle fire.
Though this morning was shocking to see that free! keychains and can badges were sold out mere moments upon adding, thankfully free! cups werent.
Is your avatar from Blade & Soul? I love Hyung Tae Kim. Now I want some Blade & Soul figures. Or Tera figures that aren't Elins.
this is how bikini figures should be made. pretty hot
Correct! I would kill for some Blade & Soul figures myself.
the lack of Korean MMO sexy figures is pretty annoying. Only got a few Lineage ones.

not really into that alisa figure. I prefer the original skytube version, but even then I'm waiting for a lower aftermarket price if i do get it.

Word. Those felt bases are going to be a pain if they get dusty. Probably my one complaint about that material being used in figures.

don't need a base

Any of you guys going to AX? I got a 4 day pass but unfortunately my friend bailed on me so I don't have a hotel. I'm going to commute it most likely but wondering if anybody else is going.

I take it Griffon isn't known for their excellent workmanship and quality control?

I ask myself this question everyday after Griffon announced they doing all the dolls in Rozen Maiden.
-------------------------
So I finally unpack and assemble the rest of my May(hopefully summer 2014) figures.
I really don't like 1/7 figures, it made 1/8 looks so small. Will Fate even fit in a Detolf with the long saber? She is a bit bigger than Nanoha since Nanoha is 1/8. I guess I will have to buy the 1/7 Alter Nanoha too
Saber maid 1/7, another oversize figure that made everything else looks awkward. I really like this figure though, for some reason I can't keep my eye off her. A lot of detail and shading on the hair, uniform, stocking, and even the tiny unpainted finger nail. Putting Saber Maid next to Fate made Fate looked like a prize figure.
RIP in peace wallet, you sacrificed yourself for a good cause!
They're known to be amongst the worst

the second the DOA5 Kasumi figure was announced as Griffon...so much pain
Usually between 4~5k JPY for me.

you don't need to EMS two figma, you can just sal register them
2-3 figma fit into sal
same with nendos
That seems pretty bad for just two figmas though lol. I had two combined packages recently (about 4-5 gunpla each) so 4kish JPY seemed decent enough for me.
I was hoping for SAl but I thought it would get bumped to EMS. I am going SAL for sure.
Yeah, I was willing to go for that price but it looks like ican do SAl so I will be doing that instead.
Aw man, if only haha. Haven't played the game yet but the designs look way cool.Here's a cool idea:
The Wonderful 101 figures.

Is it normal on AmiAmi for them to move an entire monthly order to the following month just from a delay of one product in the order? Trying to get their customer support to adjust it, just curious if this is normal. Seems a bit weird to me to do that just from one item getting delayed.
Freezasaurus

That does sound weird. They're usually eager as fuck to get dat money.
They don't update the orders automatically. Sometimes it takes as long as 10 days for it to happen. Just shoot them an email and they will do it within the day.

Emailed them again this morning. I noticed it yesterday when trying to add a book to my May order. They said I should be able to do it by combining so I guess they didn't really look into the issue a lot. Emailed them again so hopefully they look into it. Otherwise June's order is going to hurt haha
I always send them an email asking to split item n° X from order Y and move it to order Z due to the delay. They've always done it immediatly without replying and just sent me the automated order confirmations.

Good to hear, pretty sure they will have it adjusted this time if they look at it. If not I will keep emailing them.
Do postal services in other countries stick extra charges on import fees as well? I just got an order (wasn't a figure) and I was charged 15 when the order itself only came to 37, I mean seriously. I don't know if it's just my postal service or if others like Royal Mail or USPS do this too with imports that get caught, can anyone tell me? I think I might just go with the courier services from now on, I mean I'm being charged an extra fee that doesn't even have a description, it sounds like I'm paying them so they can pick up money from me at the door, wtf. At least with services like Fedex this doesn't happen and I get billed so I have like a month to pay.
Belgium does the same shit. 12 for stuff under a certain value, double that for over the value. "Handling fees" my ass.
I've never had to pay any import fee/taxes in the US. I think you would have to have some insanely large/expensive order to be hit with some sort of customs fee. I wouldn't be surprised to see delivery services charge the taxes and a fee to collect them.

Wait. What? Not seeing this anywhere on GAF....
My EMS package from Mandarake hasn't had an update in 20 days. I'm a little bit more than slightly concerned now. Especially when I've had three separate phone calls tell me the package hasn't left Japan yet. The tracking site clearly shows that it arrived in the US and then nothing.

That is definitely worrisome. Have you contacted Manadrake too? It's lost brah, sorry....
I say this as someone who used SAL small packet for the first time and have a package that hasn't updated in a week. EMS for life.
I guess wait 10 more days but that's definitely lost altho you'll need to wait 30 days before USPS lets you file a claim, iirc. I recommend going to your local post office or the main one in your area and ask about it in person and see if that helps. Doing anything by phone is usually worthless from my experience.
