They should let you cancel cause it's early enough that they can lower their shipment order, so you should be fine. I mean I've cancelled a RAH Link (costing 15K/16K JPY) that was out that month, until it was delayed, and they were okay with it. Think they are only more annoyed by cancellation on preowned items.

Heads up! They cancelled one of my pre-orders without any problem. Thanks again!

I'm probably going to cancel than pre-order Maki. How many months in advance do you think makes it more okay for them? I just started using them so I wanted to get a couple orders under my belt before asking for a cancellation. Maki comes out in May btw.

Never underestimate Aniplex with the Madoka License. That's basically all they sell in that shop. Once Kyoko and Sayaka are released I'm going to expect Devil Homura and Ultimate Madoka to appear eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if a Nagisa or Hitomi appear either...

We're getting Towel Mami. I absolutely know what you're talking about.
 
Wheee... decided to go with the rest of the fam to join Dojima so I grabbed Nanako, Yu and Izanagi pinched keychains and added them to my Dojima order.

So my orders for April and May at Amiami are (hopefully) done...
 
Earlier I had asked if anyone had ever seen the order status of "Pre-order in queue" on AmiAmi, because that's what my February order was showing. Well a few minutes ago I got an email saying "Good news, we were able to secure your order." and now it's simply listed as a normal Pre-order.

So it seems to imply that if you see "Pre-order in queue" then one or more of your pre-ordered item's availability may be in question.

I wonder which item it was, none of them seem ultra limited...

If you notice, pre-order items say:

In cases of manufacturer stock shortages, pre-order items will be offered on a first come, first served basis.

It seems pretty rare, but this is probably what that was.

That seems to be it. Yasuna and Sonya were probably the culprits. They're no longer available for pre-order, and interestingly enough, they have a slightly different disclaimer than all of the other figures.

*This item is procured from the maker after an order has been placed. We may not be able to procure it if the maker is sold out.

IA would have been the only other possibility, but I doubt there were problems with her.

I really don't see the point of releasing the same figure all over again for every movie. Most of the suit doesn't really change apart from some clothing here and there.

I couldn't agree more, but as I don't have any Cap at all for the moment I'm glad this one looks perfect to me (the WInter Soldier version doesn't), for it's a "one and done" kinda thing.
Can't say the same about Iron Man mkLXIII, unfortunately :/

Iron Man I can understand, most suits are different and there's the whole hall of armour thing. If I had unlimited funds/space I'd definitely collect them haha

Still two weeks until WonFest...I'm still hoping for a Ragyo-sama announcement.

Well I would too :)
But I don't so I have to choose one "perfect" IM, and mkLXIII sure isn't :(

What's to expect of a C/C used item on amiami ? There's a dirt cheap Mikasa Nendo in that condition...

They wouldn't make 'em if they didn't sell, and personally I've hated the way Cap looked in every movie so far, this is the first one that's good enough for me to pick up...

Yeah, that's so annoying. That's why I kinda like being able to pay taxes up front at amazon.co.jp and certain eBay items without the silly customs charges.

Theoretically I can be hit by customs if the value of the package (+shipping!) is over 22 euros.
Tax is 21% = €4.61
Customs fee = €13 (or €17.50 if EMS)

You can see how cheap items can suddenly become a bad deal.

And then there's an extra tax (5%?) if the value is over €150

Preowned Dekacchu Wo arrived, she weighs a ton and is HUGE! Medicchu Wo is struggling to comprehend this :D

<3

Seeing the Dekacchu and Medicchu comparison reminds me of working in 3dsMax where you just rescale the model to a bigger size lol.

Now I'm tempted to keep an eye out for a preowned Dekacchu Wo in the future.

That AOU Captain America is looking like the best one yet. I have the Avengers version so I'm trying hard to resist the new one!

I was looking for somewhere to display my Amiibo's and came across a good photo opportunity...

I am Pikachu's Reckoning...

=) just don't do it too often that you become paranoid at being banned ala Freezasaurus XP

As early as possible will be my guess, as they can lower their shipment order from the manufacturers.

For those curious on the Amiami listing of a KanColle prize figure with no pic, I believe this one is it.
This one there doesn't seem to be a pic yet.

If you are tempted here's the link to buy online but all in Japanese so no idea if it only ships there etc:

So I'm new to this hobby, but I was thinking to myself that the smell the figures in my (small) office give off was nice. I looked it up and found all kinds of different information on PVC and how dangerous it is. I understand that PVC is in all kinds of things that we come into contact throughout our day but is anyone here worried about breathing in the concentrated fumes from all the figures being stored in one place? Maybe if you have your figures in a larger, more open room you wouldn't notice it but in my small office I notice it almost immediately upon entering. Not to mention that some of us are into the action figures more than the models/statues, so we'll be touching them a lot more.

Is PVC really that dangerous to touch? What about the fumes?
