Alisha from Tales of Zestiria, but the game's not out until next year. What will you doooo?

I guess I will be conflicted, see what the price is, look at the pics some more, and see if anyone can talk me into it after initial "oh that's neat" impulse has died down.

(I haven't played a Tales game since Vesperia.)

List price is 10k, so it's probably be around 8500 yen on most sites.

It's bad that my first thought at seeing a <10k price is "oh, that's not bad," isn't it?

RIP 5k scale days.

I wasn't around for the 5k scale days. I think the fear that something is going to be more than 10k makes all prices less than that a relief. Figures are still crazy expensive.

I was around for the 3.5-4k days, but that was when I first started figure collecting and only bought 1 figure a year. Of course I wasn't importing back then either.
 
I paid 1980 JPY for a 0.5 kg package and 2340 JPY for a 0.7 kg package in total with that 500 JPY charge with registered airmail when I ordered stuff.

Edit: They have a overview here of shipping prices:

Damn I wish one of these brahs on the market place shipped direct. It costs me 11 dollars for DHL to ship 78 volumes of Major that will be here in three days. 107 volumes of Ippo on BiJ is gonna be a fortune.

You buying manga? That's gonna be heavy. Maybe check some other service and see if they can ship as printed matter :p

Well, guess I can't enter since I don't own any Miku figures yet (and only really want/like the special ones :x)

Also, her hair is a shade of aquamarine, but definitely not just green :/

And pink. And white. And blue. In fact I think the green color is the ugliest color.

Halloween Miku arrived~


Light scratch on her hair is distracting me. And I dislike EMS for valuing 4200 yen as 42 euros, plus their customs charges are higher than regular post.

Wut? That shit ain't right. Are you sure it's not your bank or credit card just giving you a real shitty exchange rate?

Shipping should be part of the sale total right? This doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure I understand this phrase. The value on the package isn't written by EMS, it's written by the store, and the value of the package does not (or at least should not) include the shipping. As for customs charges, in Belgium the type of shipping does not matter, the fees are per value of the box.

Which country are you in?

Netherlands.

The declaration form filled in by the store says 4200 yen. The customs charges form specifying the cost breakdown has the value written down as 42 euros. Someone was being very lazy with their conversion.

Tax &#8364;8,82, customs handling fees ("Inklaringskosten") &#8364;17,50 (via EMS; non-EMS costs &#8364;13).

I'd complain, but ultimately I might only get a refund of &#8364;2.37 at best. It's just that I'd rather not choose EMS if I can help it because it's only a little bit faster, costs noticeably more than SAL, I always get hit by customs fees, etc etc.

Ouch. I would dispute the exchange rate tbh.
 
So I'm working my way through an anime from earlier this year called Noragami and holy shit I wish this were more popular than it is. It's probably about as popular as it deserves to be, but I really love the character designs.

I want figures of everyone. But mostly Bishamon.



I think Yato and Hiyori are getting figures from Megahouse, but those two aren't high on my list. Probably get the Yato for my growing Hiroshi Kamiya collection, though.

I watched Noragami while it was airing and I really enjoyed it. Glad to hear you are as well! Would love for it to eventually get a second season, but I'm not sure if that was planned at all. I was tempted to buy the Yato figure when the prototype was first shown, but I don't think my wallet would forgive me if I decided to fill the gaps of my own Hiroshi Kamiya collection. haha

I would love some Eva Nendos but... I'm just not digging the racing outfits :( I'd be all over them if they were plugsuits.
