I really really really hope they have a legit snow miku and Hakase for Phoenix's sake. Holy crap.

Pretty sure they have some legit Snow Miku's, but not sure about Hakase. I know a number of people said they just got their Snow Miku from N-Y and it was legit, so obviously they've been selling *some* legitimate copies of her, so I guess I just hope they're not sold out of legit copies.

For Hakase, it seems to be the situation I described above. They don't have her, now they're trying to procure her. *Sigh* They really suck.

Hakase is hard to find on second hand sites and she is expensive when she does pop up. Nippon-Yasan advertises her as new but in all likelihood she is probably second hand but I honestly wouldn't mind it. If it's another bootleg though...

googling for hakase bootlegs doesn't give any hits.... Hopefully they are legit and can actually find one.

Elf got stuck at customs because they did not believe it to be worth 25$. Well, that did not take long. Caught after the second attempt.

Probably going to have to pay 30EUR now, since it is like 17EUR just for their damn administration costs. Such a rip-off.

I feel your pain. I've had a few figure-related parcels stuck in customs clearance/charging for well over a week now. I imagine they've been put to the bottom of pile as nobody in the office could work out how to price the duty on iM@S or Steins;Gate items :\

Maybe you can find it wherever garage kits are sold, but yeah.

It's ridiculous but I guess everyone has to deal with it. I just feel it costs twice as much over here. Oh well.

I'll keep trying and go unreg with SAL next time. If I can only avoid it once every few times, it is already worth it.

I wonder if the workers get a bonus if they catch a undervalued item, because they are just way too eager to never let anything through, it is ridiculous.

high school of the dead dude? i knew i recognized those oppai from somewhere

looks like i have another figure to possibly buy....

Okay I know this is a little late but the last two days I played too much Anno1404 and only read about this whole bootleg thing. Wow, what a story!
Anyway. Yes as it was said it's from the highschool of the dead dude (I hope he get's this series finished in the future), Triage X is a newer series of him and bad but not the best series either, his style is still unique. I hope there will be figures of the rest too, like
I am sure we see something from the third manga series Fire, Fire, Fire too someday:

I really do love that trashy racing Miku. I've been tempted so many times, but I'll hold out for the GSC ver.

Still though, <3.

Sorry if you're not up there, too much peeps to go through XD I believe most are figure peeps and other GAFers that's posted here before. Still hopefully can follow some peeps here whose twitter I have yet to follow/find.

Edit: Added in GAF names for the less obvious people, I think I've got them correctly, tell me if not.

Ringing wakes me up today...it's the post office lady calling to ask if I received any notice about a package from Japan because if I don't pick it up today they're gonna send it back. My Luigi spent almost an entire month at the post office and they didn't bother telling me about it until now. Hell I was there last week to pick up the Elf and they checked because I knew there was a letter for me but I didn't have the notice and still no word about Luigi. Sometimes I really hate them.
Luigi's cool though ^^ (iphone pic)
 
Ugh! Still tempted by this, but I'm kind of Hatsune Miku'd out. Still, that tanned skin...

Also, Kahotan continues to be amazing [and lewd]. I love reading her previews.

She does look good, and really unique for a Miku figure. But I'm waiting on the 2014 version from GSC. She looks amazing.
 
That's a lot of Twitter names. I know it's extra work but names would be nice for the not so obvious ones like https://twitter.com/Jeffrey_Jue = cajunator (but BGBW, didn't your eyes bleeding for all that cute on his feed give that away?)

I actually didn't realize that was Cajun but followed him just from the cuteness on his page lol

Took your advice, bolded not so obvious ones with GAF names, but yeah cajunator was slightly obvious XD

there is no bootleg Hakase so IF they find one it will be real.

At least its super simple in the US. Sure, our packages hit customs for a few days, but they're usually out quick and, in the 100s of packages I've gotten, 0 have ever had any additional importation fees.

Yeah, I'm glad US Customs isn't so bad with packages.

Of course there's still the whole waiting for a package to actually get through customs *stares at one that's been there since Monday*

I can only remember one instance where I've ever had a problem with customs. Had ordered a dakimakura cover from the folks over at Evening Call, and while I love the fact that they ship internationally and allow you to pay via PayPal, their responsiveness is shit. The cover was slated for release in early December, and I got notification that all of them had shipped in Japan, but no tracking number for my EMS'ed cover. Few weeks went by, and nothing, so I tried to contact their support for tracking, but still no response.

Then one day, out of nowhere, a package showed up from Japan containing my cover. Took the tracking number, went and checked it out online. Turns out it'd been in US customs from somewhere like January 2nd to January 23rd. Terrible for an EMS package that'd usually get clearance in like two days.

Any of you guys with a dakimakura have a S/O?

Just curious how they reacted to it. This isn't meant to be a negative post, honestly curious.
