God no, I already made enough orders the past week. Even if Totori and Zetsubou Sensei Nendos are way too tempting. >_>
Only if Kasamatsu gets a figure, then we'll talk.

Ya I noticed that on too...I like it. Almost bought one used at one point.
Do you remember what it was used? I've never seen this one preowned (have not looked for it) and this price on the amazon sale seems pretty good but if it's even cheaper for an A/B or a B/B I could wait. (MFC sellers want 100$ lol)
Whoa, Global Express? Maybe they decided to stop using a flat rate and do it by actual weight.

You'll poke your eye out with that thing.

I don't think it was much more than 6k. But I could be wrong!

You know you want to do this in your heart.
God, I'm way too tempted now to pick up some things since it sounds like shipping is a steal from Amazon.jp.
Yeah, shipping is cheap. I added This Rise figure that is basically priced at 10 bucks, and it only added like 2 dollars to the shipping cost.
Exchange Rate is really good today: 1 JPY = 0.0091175811 USD
Oh you're in EU. It must be cheaper to get sent to the US.

Fine, I guess I'll look into it again after work. Maybe things will get sold out by then or something. RIP my wallet again.
Just use biginjapan's proxy/forwarding service.

Ya it really is. My order from AmiAmi was amazing. Payed 50 less than I expected.
Yeah, the exchange rate has been kicking ass the last month or so.
Do I need to contact them ahead of time or anything?
Or could I just follow the instructions on the Forwarding page, and everything'll be handled from there?

Hmm I might get a Nendo in there for a buddy for Christmas on that Amazon sale. Time to make a account I guess.
Dammit Elixir, why'd you have to show me this? Might have to grab that Arcadia Pieces 2 Cheryl figure.
Edit: Oh thank god she isn't eligible for global shipping.

Just use your login for the Amazon US site. Should work.
US account works fine- you probably will need to re-enter your payment info, but it carried over my addresses and stuff

Hmm not working for me.
EDIT: Yep just double checked my password too. It won't let me sign into my account on there.
Yeah just follow the instructions. Make you you describe to them what your package is and have it shipped to the right address as listed on BiJ's forwarding page.

If we don't get a Nendo of this girl with her crooked "smile" face, then GSC are idiots.
All you need to do is put this as your address on Amazon.jp making sure to use the same name as the one you use on your Big in Japan account.
Then just go to the following link and purchase a 500 yen ticket. You don't have to pay in advance for this. In the Comments box of the order, tell them the name of the item you are buying and the place you are buying it from. Without telling them they won't be able to identify your order. Then you just have to choose a shipping method.
An example of what I wrote when getting my Red nendo:
Once they receive your item they'll send you a Paypal invoice with the amount you need to pay : 500 yen (+ 500 yen if you choose repackaging) + international shipping fees + Paypal fees (3.2% of total amount + 40 yen).

I had to create an Japanese account, just use the same info/password to keep it simple.

Here are the long promised Phat Ryuuko Matoi Senketsu Ver. photos.
You can see how her crouched combat pose naturally hides the revealing nature of her outfit from many angles and additionally, how little of the character you can see when viewed from above. This is a figure that really requires viewing from at or below the horizon in order to appreciate its details.
Speaking of details, how about that face? I think the captured Ryuuko's eyes quite well, but maybe her cheeks are slightly too puffy.
Some of the red line paintwork looks a little sloppy when you get into these sorts of macro levels, but at normal viewing you really don't notice. The red lines on her stockings look crisp and clean, and the red on black color scheme is very striking in person.
She does come with the "Sen-i-Soshitsu" mode for her scissor, but I'm not a big fan of displaying it that way, so I didn't take any pics with it.

Ah you did very well. I couldn't get any pics of here that I was happy with. Ended up deleting them all.

Believe me that's a big reason as to why getting these photos out was taking so long! How do you get interesting shots on a figure that conceals itself from so many angles? How do you take shots that aren't obscured that also aren't just ass and boob shots? I tried to find shots that emphasize the face, her hair, and the red lines rather than just skin.
When Satsuki arrives, it's just going to be all ass or all boob all the time. I don't think the lens can fight it.

Only cause Nagito's shit.
I havent unboxed this figure yet. nice to see some quality pictures though.
Definitely the most lewd figure I have but I just love the dynamic pose.
Awesome pics as usual Giolon. What figures do you plan on doing next?
Oh lawd I have a problem. In my effort to do more research into that Cyril figure to see if I really wanted her enough (a resounding yes), I discovered Yamato's Iris figure. It also just so happened that Midtown comics had her in stock and well...fuck.

I'm failing to see a problem.
