Ya same here, although I still don't have 2014. I can see the price dropping already so I will get one eventually.

I need to figure out Amazon in Japan still lol. Although I better not. I set up the basic account but when I put in my address it won't let me put in all the numbers from my Zip code.
Some shipgirls digital sculpts for the sculpting enthusiasts out there.

I spent $350 on Amiibos this week. Then a $200 AmiAmi monthly order showed up tonight. And now I've just plunked down fifty squid on Kongou.
Who needs food, am I right?
When it asked for my address, I had to press a link above the address entry that said 'International Address' that changed the standard Japanese address layout to something more suitable for my Australian one.

Did you already switch to international address?
I agree, I do like her outfit and the base he can sit on is adorable, but I wish her hair was a more muted green to match everything else that's going on. I still need to order Snow Miku 2014 at some point.
Oh man look at these cuties. There are also those prize figures that have been announced, but I'm really hoping for Nendos of Lulu and Ginko at least.

Hmm thanks for the help got that part sorted.
Do you guys just use your credit cards? I usually pay Paypal for anything I import but with Amazon I trust it. Just don't want my CC company to think it's not me and lock my card lol.

The last time Amazon.co.jp had a sale, I just used my credit card. I usually use Paypal with AmiAmi.

I used my credit card and it went through fine.
Had the option to be billed in local currency too.

$120 is my food budget for an entire month. And even that's pushing it.

Never do that though. The exchange rate you get from the bank will be better.

So does Paypal sadly. :\

At this point, my cc company would be more shocked if I used my card for a domestic purchase.

Normally yes but after the currency conversion fee on top it worked out cheaper to just be billed straight in AUD.
Getting billed in a foreign currency can be a bit of a crapshoot with being at the mercy of the fluctuating exchange rate and a 'just helping ourselves' bank fee on top. Getting billed in local money means you know exactly how much will be debited from your account.
So what do you guys use then? I normally use my Discover card via PayPal but AmiAmi doesn't accept it.

The Kongou Imoutos cannot compare to the original.

Really? The Amazon exchange rate I'm getting seems okay:
1 JPY = 0.0087690474 USD
I should just leave it at yen when checking out with a credit card?
Capital One gave me .0085, which ended up saving me like $2 on a $60 order.
If your card doesn't have a foreign transaction fee, always use yen. If it does, it's usually about a wash.

So that Wo-Class prize figure is looking pretty decent for just 1.5k.
Abyssal Scales are too rich for my blood but this is a happy medium.

I think my card does have a foreign transaction fee, unfortunately. But I'll look into it a little further. It's worth exploring.

If it's a Visa card:

Mine got a 1.75% fee, but it's still cheaper than using the Amazon rate.
僕のLOVE for all the Kongou class burns brighter than 1000つ星
Digging up an import order from last year, it looks like I get charged around a 3% fee, and then using the calculator it comes out to essentially the same. Ah well.
You're welcome :>

Such will be the fate of many of us, it would appear.
You guys almost made me order a Kongo Nendo on Mandarake but then I got back upstairs and she was already gone.
Can't go Amazon JP because they screw me over with customs etc. Oh well, safe for now.
You misstyped "missed opportunity", silly.

Man its going to be nice to have a credit card soon.
No more needing to ask for payment deadline extensions when big orders suddenly show up.

The UFO is heavy and she needs help supporting it.
Mandarake doesn't update at a regular time like Amiami does, from what I can tell. Since they have different physical stores that all share the same webshop and are essentially specialized pawn shops, stuff will just get put on the site at random times. FigInStock is helpful for them (but setting up useful alerts is trickier than with amiami).
For example, a couple days ago an Ultimate Madoka nendo (and a few others) appeared on mandarake when I refreshed at 9:30 AM (in the US, after having checked earlier in the morning and those few new items weren't showing). That's like almost midnight in Japan.
I promptly ordered the Ultimate Madoka nendo, because I couldn't help myself, and just got the order confirm this morning and paid for it. :>
