Hey guys,
I've never ordered a figure online before, but I really want to get the Max Factory figma RoboCop that's coming out.
Can anyone suggest a place that has fair shipping prices to Canada? I don't really know anything about importing figures so I have no idea what to expect for shipping costs.

It'll probably have to be from an American or other Western-based retailer because figma Robocop is supposed to be coming out in October. And I say supposed to because I have been waiting FOR TWO MONTHS OF DELAYS for it to actually get shipped. So I think it's sold out at all the Japanese retailers, but I'll double-check on that.
I just want it so I can review the damn thing already.

Hrm... I didn't realize it keeps getting delayed. I actually just found out about it a few days ago. I was considering pre-ordering it from a seller on ebay but maybe I should wait until it actually gets released now. Thanks for the info.

Well, if you can pre-order it on a retailer's site, you should still be able to get it. They have it in the box and everything (I've seen leaked shots of it), so hopefully October will be when it gets here.
You can pick one up from Amiami; they generally have good shipping: http://www.amiami.jp/shop/shop?vgFo...G-IPN-1885&template=e_review.html&set=english

I was looking at that site but I couldn't make heads or tails of their shipping methods/rates and they say they can't offer estimates on pre-order items. I think I might just try my luck and hope that I can still find it when it's released.
Edit: Are these things really that hard to get after release if you don't pre-order them?

Well, it looks pretty accurate to her actual figure, I think. Skinny like a washboard.
Have you seen the Rachel figure???
Looks like this Noel is an exclusive, so not available to mortals outside of Japan.

Haven't actually gotten anything from them yet so I can't speak as to the quality of their service.

Tokyo Hunter has been around for a LONG time. I believe he was one of the first to do proxy service. He was pretty good back then, not sure about now - it looks like he's grown it into a full business.
I can vouch for Tokyo Hunter and also Yokatta: http://yokattaweb.jp/
Bought a lot of stuff from both and all arrived with zero issues.

Tenso.com is another reputable forwarding service. I used them to get obscure shit in the past.

Damn, Enterbay's 1/4 scale T-800 from Terminator 2: Judgement Day is released out in Asia. I got one preordered. This thing is amazing. 19" of Arnold Schwarzennegger goodness.

I don't collect models/figures, but I used to play a game called Mage Knight and still have a few figures around, mostly a handful of small ones I wasn't ever able to sell, but I did keep this guy (which is about 4" tall) because I liked the aesthetics. I think I paid ~$15 for this when it was released ~6-7 years ago, but you can buy them now for $1.99 via TrollandToad.com. Considered buying more, but eh, just one is all I need for a desk decoration.

You should vote on this. Bandai's gauging interest in putting exclusives on Amazon

That last pic was obviously a promo shot for the sale of the item. Lest anyone get the wrong idea.DieH@rd said:
I was surprised how much articulation there was in the SHF Garo figure. I am sure it'll be fine. The only part I would be concerned about is how well the shoulder joints move.zoner said:

Never saw mention of this in this thread, so I thought I might give those interested a heads up.
Hot Toys Iron Monger is up for Preorder on most toy sites, but the best prices are at AmiAmi and BBTS. Looks so awesome. Figure stands at an insane 44 CM.
More pics.
Now all I need is an iron Man, but I can't bring myself to buy one when I know a better one is probably coming with the next movie.

$400 direct from Enterbay with shipping already included but they charge you right away since it's Paypal.hirokazu said:
You could preorder from Bigbadtoystore and they won't charge until the item is ready though it's like extra ten or so bucks for shipping.
Won a Hot Toys Bruce Lee in business suit for pretty cheap; about 40% off MSRP. Came this morning. Right next to my Enterbay Game of Death (Behind the Scenes) Bruce Lee.

Caved into getting some BlizzCon stuff. Some of the stuff were already available for shipping, got an authenticator and Arthas' Helmet in 1/4 scale replica. This thing is heavy in the hand!

Damn! POP Zoro sold out in a couple of minutes? It went out of stock at Hobby Search just as I hit the confirm checkout button. Got my order in at HLJ though. Now for some sleep.
