Ok, average U.S shipping cost then?

For a single figma, I've gone as low as $5 with SAL Unregistered but with 5 model kits and two figmas it required EMS shipping which is faster but more expensive and that hit $75.
So it depends on what you're buying and how fast you want it.

That Luffy is a Megahouse poseable figure IIRC

( ̄ー ̄)Yeaaa...wallet chain XD

This is the GK that the GSC Satsuki figure is based upon. Sculpted by Iwanaga Sakurako. She's worked on some popular things on here such as Hatsune Miku - 1/8 - Love is War ver. DX, Mawaru Penguindrum - Princess of the Crystal - 1/8, GOOD SMILE Racing - Hatsune Miku - 1/8 - Racing 2010 and Kantai Collection ~Kan Colle~ - Kuubo Wo-kyuu - 1/8.



Really excited for this...although I would have preferred a Junketsu version

nice, I've been planning to buy only a figure and I am deciding between Figma or something similar like D-arts between 35-60 usd so it shouldn't go above 10-15 for the shipping, right

Huh, that Digimon Takeru and Hikari figures are temptingggggg

Definitely going to get them. I really liked the Taichi and Yamato they did, and I hope they'll eventually fill out the rest of the cast.

Also just because a figure isn't listed for release yet doesn't mean it'll get delayed. It could happen, but there's no guarantee, so don't count on a delay before it's announced.
 
Oh dang, those Digimon figures are glorious. I've held off on scale figures so far but they might be the breaking point.

No, unless it's oddly heavy or has a huge box with tons of accessories.
I think my figma Strength was like $21 EMS shipping so if you go SAL Registered or Unregistered you won't see it for a couple weeks but you'll hit that $8-$12 shipping range I bet.

These are the most common prices and shipping times in my experience for a single figure. Note that some are too large or heavy for SAL

SAL Unregistered: 500 yen - 2-5 weeks no tracking
SAL Registered: 1000 yen - 2-5 weeks with tracking
Airmail: 1500 yen - 5-10 days with tracking
EMS: 2000 yen - 3-5 days with tracking.

Adding a 2nd figure in my experience generally increases any given price by 50%, but has a decent chance of pushing you out of SAL availability. There's something available for larger/heavier packages, called SAL Parcel, but it's never worth it bc it usually only costs 400 yen less than EMS for the package.

I got in trouble with my girlfriend today for buying my "dolls".

Obviously nothing that she's actually that upset about, but she's right, I've blown a ton of money when I need to save for a car. I set a budget of $100 a month.

RESPONSIBILITY SUCKS.

haha, yeah my GF gives me grief about my "dolls" once in a while too. My spending is way down from last year though, and I have a bunch in boxes still that I haven't unpacked since moving, so I'm just gonna bring those out a little a time. She seems to not mind as long as huge boxes aren't showing up from Amiami every month.

I work from home and also moonlight at a special needs clinic across the street, but the car I have now is my mother's. I feel bad just using her car and being 400+ miles away so she can't use it. :(

Plus, I gotta save for an engagement ring even though they're bullshit.

Save all the monies!
 
When does that Chitoge and those Megahouse figs go on preorder???

If you're interested in the Gundam Build Fighters figures, be warned. They're only 1/10 scale, hence the "reasonable" list price of 5800 JPY.

Get a new girlfriend. A rich one.
 
You know those people you hate because they have it 'rough' because they can't afford a Corvette and a new house without having to save for a few years?

My girlfriend. Love her to pieces, but she thinks she's 'struggling'.
Those people >=D

GIFs content is kind of ironic lol
 
The Digimon G.E.M. figures are also 1/10 scale. It was really the only reason I didn't get Taichi and Yamato.

I think Megahouse might be doing it since it seems their figures as of late have the highest tendency to la bomba. Especially at 8k or so per figure, that's gotta hurt them.

I'm just going for Digimon, OP, Kuroko and that chitoge. Megahouse just has the licenses I want. Now if I got into Gintama.......


Sucks that SA Franky won the reprint contest. Wanted Sengoku.......

I've gotten the same talk from my boyfriend. I went a little overboard in August and he's using that to push the whole budget thing on me. He doesn't understand, sometimes a girl just needs cute figures!

I just bought him his first figure, though, and I fully expect him to get addicted, too. rip money
