Does amico hate gaijin now?
>>282300278no, just you

>>282300300wtf anon
i feckin broke my figger's foot and now she won't stand (or stay put). it was the culmination of four mind altering substance's fit of rage that resulted in my figures broken rib cage (foot) hence my present predicament/dismay. an ambulance is out of the question, so i shall resort to glue despite my apprehension.
>>282300308I just wish he'd go anywhere at all
>>282300357You retard! What did you do?
Over an hour with no thread...buyfag is dead...
>>282300366my feline friend jumped into my lap and made my figure meet her end. and now i sit in sadness.
>>282300278Wait, the JP site has Bandai stuff? I thought they had a spat with them.Guess Bandai just doesn't like foreigners.
>>282300377Thanks to this guy:
>>282300365Damn, that's a long wait. I've had packages from China taking longer than usual, but they all arrived safely, so yours is probably still waiting safely for its turn.
>>282300387Maybe the end result was 'we promise not the sell glorious Nippon kits to gaijin anymore.'
>>282300430Maybe the ccp think a filthy gweilo doesn't deserve gaki twins gk
>>282300457I can't believe Ami-chan bent the knee...
I wish my waifu were real. Dakis are great and all, and the man who invented them is a true hero, but sometimes I just want to feel her hand in mine. I want to see her smile when she sees me. I want to smell her hair. I want her to say "Good morning, anon!" and smile when we wake up together. I want to put my head on her chest and hear her gentle heartbeat.
>>282300554just get a sex dolldunno about heartbeat but some have breathing simulation and voice messages
got this
>>282300554Hold on hope that we may yet see robot sexdolls with AI in our life time, then you may just get to hold your waifu in your arms and hear her whisper against your chest. "I'm sorry, but I can't continue with this request."
>>282300620post tax
>>282300633the panties are cast off, but due to china laws they have to put panties on that require a hot air gun be blown to soften plastic and remove.so it doesnt get flagged as a illegal lewd fig. dont know if i can bring myself to tryordered from orzgk, they told me to use sea shipping to avoid import fees. wasnt charged any

What the heck, they don't even hide it anymore...
>>282300828 found out the studio releasd two other similar figs + if you can prove you bought all 3 they send you a huge ass couch for all 3. But when i found out one was already double price in after market and would be disqualified from big couch since i didnt buy directly from a verified distributori was just too late, would require too much money to rectify + i dont even play these games, just liked fig
https://files.catbox.moe/0hyen7.jpgnude body didnt survive shipping. orzgk talked to studio for me and got sent another. i buy from orzgk because of this aftwer sale service
orzgk came thru for me on this dmg'd piece as well. RIP Dodomo studiothis is original piece

jesus, Ali nearly gave me a heart attack. I got mail titled "delivery issue", turns out it's just notifying me that my package was redirected to self-pickup from parcel locker, which I'm fully aware it is, cause I redirected it myself and it's currently waiting there until I get off work.

>>282301780This is actually really cute and i expect it to cost 1k in a few months
>>282301780>>282301785Not al least 10k?!
When you guys sell off a nib figure domestically how to do you know if what you're charging is a good price? Ideally I'd want a quick sale within a month or two. I put it up on mfc but should I put it up on eBay. I don't really want to pay their fees though
>>282301835Maybe it's because she's a fake pink.
how it started(this is when she was still in stock new for 12k btw)
>>282301913how it's goingget fucked scalper wannabes now I can finally buy her
>>282301362yeah it's another Nanase Yuuki by Rocket boyhttps://x.com/rocketboy_info/status/1967423137068273810
>>282301780>>282301835Very cute.>>282301852Does eBay even still have fees for selling? I thought they got rid of those to stay competitive.If you wanna sell quickly, search for previous listings and offer for lower, the amount depending on how quickly you want it gone.Personally, I'd go for whatever I paid or someone else would expect to pay if they imported, unless that's already too high, or aftermarket prices have reached the moon.>>282301924She was one of the figs with skin cancer though, wasn't she?
>>282301996>Rocket boyAh, of course. I should have guessed.
>>282302009>Does eBay even still have fees for sellingUnfortunately yeah it's about 15% of the item price.I did actually price it under the current selling point. Most of the ones are opened (210) or are missing boxes (140-150).I priced it at 200 with free shipping. I think anyone buying it from jp (16k for opened) would pay a lot higher to ship since the tariffs fiasco.
>>282302148>13.6% on total amount of the sale up to $7,500 calculated per itemThe percentage was off, you only get free listing but not free sellingGiving it another check Mercari is actually above 300usd, and there is one 'unopened' which is actually opened for 13k
>>282302213>you only get free listingMaybe that's what I was thinking of.
>>282301913>>282301924ARMPITS I'M GONNA SNIFF

Iya, fig da
>>282302827is this an anime about collecting figures?
So does anybody have any idea how buying shit from Japan off Ebay works right now? Is the price+shipping I see all I’ll have to pay or am I just gonna get an extra bill once it crosses the border?
Goofy Detective Conan-ass proportions. Shame because Pure has been doing pretty well recently.
>>282303233You're going to have to pay the tariffs or any Vat if you're outside of Japan.eBay literally warns this to you when you look at a page that's not in your country
>>282303233I imported some jap games from ebay recently. some listings had a blue header at the top that said additional fees would be charged. others did not have this header, so I bought the items on listings without warnings and just paid the ebay shipping fee. these were under $100
Ok so I'm looking at buying figures from US retailers for the first time and I'm confused about something. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/319286 This figure is listed as arriving this month but every Japanese site lists the date as November or December. This seems especially weird to me because the other figure in the set https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/319288 is listed as arriving in March even though on every other site they're releasing in the same month. Is there literally any reason a US retailer would get a figure months before Japanese stores or is the site just outright wrong?
>>282303384items valued at under $100*
Are there any Loli experts here? I'm looking for a fig to match my mina but I don't want an explicit one and she has to be the same height/sitting to fit on my shelf. Why can't I just filter by Loli? Is there another site to look at here?https://myfigurecollection.net/item/27853
>>282303392Just email them. It could just be an error
>>282303451BASED!
>>282303392Unless you know for certain that something is being released, it's an indefinite pre order through them.
>>282303451just filter by flat chest, anonanyway the only real answer is to get a Shinobu and that loli from Tsukuyomi for the>SHAFT loli vampiretrifecta
>>282303451mind the anime titles, this is my bargain bin shelf for blurays. long riders changed my life though
>>282303551Do you mean this? https://myfigurecollection.net/item/5415
>>282303451does she has nipples?
>>282303937No
>>282304054why...
>>282304102Because I sucked them
Going to buy a bunch of these soon
https://youtu.be/2XtccnUNHKA?si=jbn8O8ybLz_iplFX
buy nipples
3d rendered figis
Figgie looks cute. Don't know the character/series but it looks really nicely done. Might buy anyway.
>>>/toy/11564554>So I guess HLJ got hit with the payment processor shit. They ripped down their entire 18+ section and it's all just 404 even if you pre-ordered things and try to follow the link inside your account.Wait, what? Either it's true, or that anon and I are retarded, because I can't find the 18+ section, either.Fucking god damn it.
>>282307668it takes a brave man to preorder this
omg
>>282307668>Plastic model>Price doesn't include the tools
>>282308244Why can't she use her twin tails as support instead of a plastic rod?
I love looking at how people painted theirs
>>282308328I think the rod is just to keep her from falling over backwards. kind of weird
>>282308328This is how I feel about the char space suit figure. Why does he need a big ass platform? None of the promo pictures included it. It was such a cop out to a really cool base
>>282308509
>>282308549You can't even remove it either because the peg is in the fucking figure rather than the peg being in the base going up into the figure. You can't even remove it as it's glued together and then you'd have to sand off the peg. Shit base design. But the figure is great.
>>282308328that would mean more ABS in the hair and ABS is expensive, lowering their massive profits

>>282310000T/N: "Yuki" means "snow".
>>282310070Is there any definition of yuki that means 'put your figi in the snow and direct sunlight to make the paint fade faster"?
realistically speaking will my death and cremation be bad for my figs
>>282310275Unless you have children who like the same things you do you can either request to burn it with you or dumpster
>>282310275Yes. Hold your figgies tight when you die so they may be with you when you die.
>>282310275If you die your figures are either trashed or sold for cheap and will be bought by dirty smelly hobos in goodwill and they'll cum inside them everyday and be so mindbroken that they forget about the love and care you poured onto them everyday when you were still alive.

has anyone in the United States ordered a CD from mandarake (or anywhere else that had any delivered by dhl express since that's all they still have available) since the de minimis exception ended? i ordered one and was just wondering if they had to pay any tariffs despite CDs being one of those things that should be exempt as far as i know
>>282310442this won't happen to me because I'm having my figures entombed alive with me like egyptian concubines
When?
>>282307931The state of the world saddens me. Why can't we have nice things? Why do payment processors get to decide what can and can't be purchased?
>>282311007because mailing cash or checks to pay for things is inconvenient for everyone involved
>>282310712T_T
>>282310620I want this. May I snipe it off you?
>>282311242no
>>282310388Imagine being cremated with your waifu figure or dakiTruly you can become one with your waifu
>>282311181I wish we had convenience store pay like Japan does. Shit was so fucking cash when I was in Japan. I would bid on an auction and because I didn't have a Japanese credit card I could just scan the barcode and pay.

>>282312661It really is the only decent one. The fact that everything is 1/5 suggests that they're going to offer size instead of quality to begin with though, I wouldn't have seriously considered them even without the proportions.
>>282312248damn i can almost see pussy and nipples god

>>282313355>>282313382Do you draw the eyes yourself? It seems so daunting, I can't even begin to comprehend it despite glancing at the guide.Either way, you GKfags are something else.
>>282313410retard, that's a doomposter
>>282313479yes, I drew the eyes. I screwed it up the first go around because the tape lifted the skin paint out. but the second one came out great.
>>282313510if it makes me want to fuck it, it's a sex demon.
>>282307931Apparently they changed their image formats too, so it seems connected. Maybe they took down the 18+ stuff so there are no image display issues when they put it back online (ex. image displays full frontal nudity on front page)? I suspect its something like that, unless they say otherwise.
>>282300662There was a picture somewhere, and doesn't look worth it. Pretty bad pussy and there's a peg so she'll have a peghole anyway. So was pretty stupid of them to even bother.

>>282314859Strange because there was definitely no time limit on that item
Hi I recently bought this Power figure because I like it a lot. Bought it on AmiAmi. I live in France and it heard that below 150 euros I don't need to pay extra fees related to tariffs or stuff like that, we call it "frais de douane" in french. But before that, I bought 3 figures from Japan (all below 100 euros) and I always had to pay stuff like this and it was really pricey like 10 to 20 euros each time. I think I got scammed. I always choose "Air surface packet" and I'm wondering if I'll pay extra stuff again for this Power figure..
>>282315753It could have been someone listing the same item across different platforms and forgetting to pull down the rest once it sold on one. I've had weird stuff like that happen.

>>282315820Thanks well that's what I though >Tariffs are applicable from 150€ up: 0.8% to 4.7% on figures and models, 12% on clothing, 3.5% on DVDs and Blurays, and 0% on books and vidya.'Not only do I get tarrifs between 10-20 euros but I also get them for figures that cost less thant 100 euros..

>>282307920Be careful, she was affected by the alter skin cancer
>>282316174Awwwww shit I'm dumb as fuck. Yeah I forgot about this since in France it's always included in the base price when we buy stuff. So when I buy stuff from Japan and I see the total I'm like "yeah so the VAT is in it", but no.... Thanks bros, damn I'm dumb I'm kind of ashamed

How to look at figure?
So, is this thread only for buyfagging or also making gks?How are tiny tiny details like the letters on the chest piece and the pins made? Just fucktons of mask?
>>282317720The guide
>>282317675 I wonder how much tax revenue/ profit has declined since people just aren't buying shit from Japan right now. yes, you can say it's just americans. However, I know plenty of people that got their shit forwarded to the US and then forwarded to them in South America/elsewhere and they stopped buying as well.
>>282317724This looks photoshopped to me anon but you can also use a decal
>>282317746???????
>>282317613I like it
>>282317724I can photoshop them for you
>>282317724tummy
>>282317769As someone from SA I'm still buying because I'm blessed by having a few contacts in Japan.
>>282317821>can't look at figgies>can't look at the guideI guess it makes sense. Read the guide guide dumbass.
>>282317720>>282317821Well first you need to get the mood right, I would recommend candles and some fineries like rich velvet and gold decorations. You need to properly ask the figgie to attend, something like a wax sealed letter is best. To start you should eat a fine dinner with a translucent screen separating you, her silhouette hinting of what is to come. Finally, after diner, you begin incrementally lowering the screen, savoring every minute detail of their luscious form. to complete the ritual you should whip out your dick, masturbate and then cover it with your ejaculate.
>>282317884Well yes, you're lucky in that regard but a lot of people are kind of shit out of luck
There are too many figgies nowadays. Please eliminate three.

>>282300278If you're only finding out now, Bandai told AmiAmi and other big sites that they gotta limit overseas Bandai kit sales to "1 per customer" cause this was during the covid years, and Bandai wasn't meeting the increased demand globally, and apparently it was so bad, fellow nippon people could not easily get kits. AmiAmi refused Bandai's demand and it was either "limit gaijin Bandai kit sales" or "don't sell to them entirely" and AmiAmi chose to not sell to baka gaijin. 5 years later and this issue was not resolved at all, HLJ however is the only big name site that sells anime and plamo overseas still, but they're adhering to the "1 per customer" rule on Bandai model kits, and even so, their preorder/backorder system makes it impossible to obtain anything if you didn't camp the site and immediately place a preorder the moment it goes up. HLJ is scrapping their backorder system this October though cause of dumb shit like this.
How much do you guys care about scale?I 3D printed the girl in the middle to go with the other two, but I'm not sure if she's slightly too small or not. I don't normally get bad OCD about things.

>>282323020For me 1/7 is my preference since it's not too big but it's got plenty of detail and price is nice.I only have two 1/4s and boy they were not cheap.Everything else is just a prize and I can care lessNow airplanes, if it aint 1/200, I aint buying
>>282310620>tried Japan Rabbit, but they canceled the next dayIs there even any reason left to use that overpriced, slow proxy? Their fees are percent based and they're slow as fuck, how are they still in business?

>>282320964bought the scented sprays that smell like sweaty girls and was massively dissapoint. didnt smell too different than any floral/fruity body spray you can get at bath and body works for cheaper. wish i could leave a review to warn others. 2 bottles + shipping was like $50. I shouldve not even joking bought some crack

>parcel cost $260 usd>DHL>they want $1,064 USD for import/export dutieshelp this make sense to me. by all metrics it shouldnt be over $100. Items are paper, a dvd, small plush toy, and a mousepad.
>>282324297they're trying to get away with a fuck you fee, if you try to argue it they basically tell you to go fuck yourself and return your shit to sender
>>282324297Weird, I thought they'd started taking the tariff rate+$17. Should I ship Fedex after all?
>>282324378everything I read said to just use dhl because their fee break down etc. the duty paperwork doesnt even make sense. how does this equal $1,064?>>282324339thats fine im not paying triple for the stuff.
>>282322770The thing I worry about is if they don't feel like figuring out the import duties based on value, they can just charge you a flat $80 and call it a day.
>>282324297Seller sent me a free replacement part for figure and i had to pay $35 import feeTalk to your shop. I was instructed to avoid carriers like ups/fedex and ship by sea since the shop has an agreement with shipper that shipper handles fees
bought some new booksidk why there was a random komi card in the box but it was very exploitable
>>282324460its zenmarket. >>282324456$80 per item I read was japan post/usps so to use dhl/fedex/ups instead for 15% on total.

does cdjapan just hold combined orders indefinitely when something is delayed? I bought pic related there and added an artbook that was releasing around the same time to save money on shipping, it's now been delayed again all the way to october and they didn't say a peep about having to ship the artbook out, which is nice
>>282324010Anyone here even live that close? Maybe post on 2ch in a week if no one picked it up.
>>282325131Rude!
>>282324901I feel you. I hate that it takes commitment to figure out you don't really want it.

>>282325331Nah I'm not going to bother. I don't even know if the package is still there or stolen as it's been a few days already. It's too much effort for a $100 item that I can order again at little loss

just realized I have 4 boxes coming this octoberfuck delays, man>>282326451the jacket looks pristine but the actual cover seems a little damaged
>>282326466I've bought books in worse condition from the 80s. It's from 1998 so I'm going to give it some slack at long as it's noon mostly a week loved book is better than a book tucked away and never read. The colors based on some pictures I've seen look really well printed on glossy paper.I'm going in January to see his museum exhibit in Tokyo and I'm going to buy his most recent one/his exhibition one there.

They ran out of ideas for ciel figures and it shows. 90% of his figures are all sitting out sitting in a chair
>>282326339friend who works dhl says its showing a $560 tariff for a rubber playmat at 1900% duty. for no real reason. pretty obvious they fucked up somewhere.
>>282322702yes she does, I thought it was a useless sculpt since I'm the only one that could see it.
>>282326699>1900% dutyYeah, right. Nice try, DHL!
Any of you guys getting your figs? Ive had to resort to U.S. based stores because things aren't shipping from japan to U.S. right now...
>>282300554I just ordered a miku daki cover from cuddly octopus and am now waiting for her to arrive in the mail.
>>282326921I have the destiny gk coming to me next month. I'm just going to under declare it to 30$
>>282327016I sent a little too soon sorry. For the destiny GK the payment was split up into two parts. The first part was 2k the second part was 19k so I'm just going to declare the 2K y if they want to ask me about it I'm just going to show them my bank statement for the 2K and probably doctor an invoice if neededThey can get fucked for this shit
>>282326921I have a preorder releasing at the end of September that I desperately want but it's through Hobby Search and they're not shipping to the US at all

>>282327553girls don't poop
Miku stole my bike!>Captcha is ASSS0Nice
you guys didn't tell me that when visiting Japan I would have to avoid people tweaking out on drugs and people passed out from drinking. I wasn't expecting a clean paradise, but some streets are no different from San Fransisco. I just wanted to buy figgies straight from the source.
>>282328598SF is the cleanest city in the states.
>>282328598>straight from the sourceSo why did you not go to China?
>>282328598Did you go to Nishinari?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK4jppUstng
>>282328617lol
Pony Canyon's store will require SMS verification next month onwards. It's over for me lol
>>282328598Why are you buying figgies from yakuza?
>>282301032where the fuck did you get that mahiro figure
Few days back i posted here that i might be getting too much figis and today this was recommended to me on YouTube.https://youtu.be/73mjAQpI2-cThat can't be coincedence.
I bought 2 and i don't understand why.
>>282329034your dick won

Man Bomb girl only releases in May 2026. That's bullshit I don't want to wait. I'm new to all this so I didn't know it took that long to release plastic figures. Especially since the movie is coming out this week
>>282329219>>282329240also if they aren't gonna give her the red cloth and pillow they could have made the fur red to make her stand out more
>>282329012wtf is wrong with his cameramodern quality but it feels like the framerate is constantly switching between 60 and 10, it's kind of nauseating
>>282329262Not sure of sh figuarts and delays but it's also normal for figures to get delayed 6m-1y sometimes. You generally po now and expect it the next year
>>282329219>Kid Icarus but a girl

>>282327405>This is a 1/7 scale and not a prize fig>14kI hope no one buys this shit
>>282323592>>282320964Imagine if girls also buy this scented bottles but with boys smell instead of girls: do they prefer them to be the "real-deal" or like the smell of a boy that's ready to go on a date with her?
>>282329757Girls just buy actual cologne if they want to smell men
>>282329034Because you want to give me one as a gift
>>282323592Gotta stick to the feet/armpit ones
Not my favorite Laura costume, but I'm glad she finally has a scale.

I have no particularly strong feelings about bunny figures
>>282329693I will buy this!
Any GKfags here know if there's a drill bit that would be good to make a flat hole about 1cm wide? I have a chinese resin with a base thats supposed to have a part connect with magnets, but they cut the hole in the wrong spot, so the base extension doesn't fit. Might honestly have to see if I can pay someone to cleanly make the hole and patch up the miscut other hole, but not sure if there are people that do repairs.
>>282331108SF has a literal poop-on-street tracking app and its always full of shit.
>>282329219Won't buy her, but she's looking fantastic
>>282312248Finally some good kimono figure, I have high hopes for this one, don't fuck it up.>Tabi socksHnf, nice nice nice
>>282331223Shit I've got a laser that could cut that perfect for you.Do you have a dremel? I'd use that over a drill for this
>>282331223my best guess would be a forstner bit
>>282331762>>282331844I don't have a Dremel or the bit, but both of these seem like a good option. But upon putting the piece in one hole, it seems like I might not actually need to cut a new hole, but just extend the miscut one? It's got a sort of angular curve to it, but i don't need the hole to be perfect.
>>282331594>KimonoAnon she's basically naked
>>282332085That's what makes it a good kimono figure.
>>282332158i just want to see a good kitsuke for once personally. they always fuck up kimono figures
>>282332085I see your point, but it's about the theme, really.
Kimono more like Kisexo
>>282312248>daki>now figureSex with Cousin-chan.
>>282332069Thinking the dremel is the way to go, unless I could file it away cleanly. I do need to buy a file for warhammer eventually, so if a file can shave the resin down enough for the part to fit i may go with that. I've just never had to do repairs or modifications before.
Damn sexy 31 year old
>>282300248anyone know why hlj removed their 18+ section?
I want to ship something with DHL but posts here make me worried they're going to charge me thousands of dollars in tariffs
>>282333820Most people seem to believe its pressure from payment processors. Such a blight they've been
>>282332069you're trying to move that slotted magnet on the left? I can't really see the context of what you're trying to do, or what other part is supposed to fit. For me personally, i'd use a regular drill bit. it'll have a V depression on the bottom but you'd use something like superglue to fill it up anyways.
>received ECMS shipment from proxy>no import dutiesi think i scheduled it as ready to ship JUST before the transition in late august but it didn't reach the states until september 8th, got to me on the 16thmake of that what you will, not like any of the big companies still even offer ECMS, some proxies stopped using them entirely after september 1st. DHL's all kinds of fucked, japan post is MIA, i'm not sure how reliable fedex is acting right now
Does anyone want to to buy a char space suit fig in the US? I'll give any anon here a discount. I thought about displaying him twice but decided against it
>>282333997Sorry its not the clearest, but the gist is that while the clear water base extension is slotted correctly in the other hole, it doesn't fit this hole because it was cut in the wrong place. Red is the entirety of the hole, and blue is where the piece is resting(and where the hole should have been cut). Just trying to cut more of the hole out cleanly to fit the piece in.
>>282334261unless the magnet is really important for the structural integrity, what I would do is just to extend the slot with a flat file, and then polish off the scratches with finer and finer sandpaper.
>>282334395 (me)also, you can fill in the scratches with some uv resin you can buy off amazon, or if you want the two slots to fit perfectly.
>>282334157>ECMSI've noticed that they're super loosey goosey with regulations and laws. I've managed to import items that needed permits with them before without needing to do anything.
>>282334395Its not, since these are two parts of the base. Is there a certain grit of sandpaper I should use? I assume for files I can just use like model kit files right?
>>282334157Yeah my 2 surface packages were delivered this week. No duties, no tariffs. Seems customs isn't bothering at all. Of course this only matters for packages that were able to get shipped out before every country suspended shipping. I'm relieved though since I have 4 more boat packages on the way.
Have any of you guys heard of play toy before? this is...
the uncertainty.... is draining me....losing will... to buy....
>>282334576yes, pretty much any file can work on resin/plastic. the sandpaper is only needed if you want a smoother polished finish, it's not really necessary, there are cheap sanding sponges kit if you do choose to go that route. You can use some UV resin to fill in the gap left behind on the old slot.
>>282316459I’m pretty sure I’d have sex with this thing.
>>282335352Well fuck. Looks good. Too cheap. Must be a trick.
>>282333828Read>>282322770I dont think its that bad
the problem with storing boxes in plastic totes is trying to fit them in without packing them too tight.the nice thing is that they protect them pretty well when your washing machine decides to overflow for about an hour
>>282336664it looks good?
>>282334157>>282334439If the departure date submitted to customs was before august 29 then it could go through without tariffs being applied.

>>282335352>>282336664>>282336942>>282336972Play Toy is your usual chinese manufacturer doing unlicensed products. They are well known in the 1/6 action figure market for doing a bunch of unlicensed figures. They are "legit" as a manufacturer but not in a legal way if you know what I mean.
>>282337292nah i get it it's not that big of a deal for me because gks are technically the same thing. I was just surprised how good it looked and i don't even like ..takken i think.looks a lot better than most.
I've been thinking of getting something Detective Conan related. Problem is that my favorite is Gin, and all I could find is small model of his car, anything else is sold out, even this one resin statue that popped up, that I presume is unlicensed, given that it's not available through any well-known websites.Maybe I should just get a t-shirt.

I've been able to get around the tariff shit just fine before, but now I think I just got fucked by last month's Japan Post suspension. It seems that the Good Smile Company Japanese site switched over their shipping method from JP/USPS to UPS Global earlier this month, and now UPS is holding my 66 USD Nendo order hostage for an additional 41 USD. Delivery guy literally had the box in hand to tell me about the issue, but couldn't give it to me because of this issue.https://www.goodsmile.com/en/news/6469>Due to the suspension of the De minimis treatment, customers residing in the United States may be required to pay a different amount of customs duty upon the receipt of goods.
>>282339143Whats adult to them?
>>282339143there's a lot of people in the reddit thread about this saying that amiami doesn't let you pay for full on adult figgies with a debit card, is that actually true? I had no problems paying for my cast offs with my visa debit card so far(and they were full-on pussy and tits cast offs) but I always bought preowned so maybe that's different? or just reddit being retarded as usual
>>282340137I know that Amiami doesn't allow Paypal for items labeled 18+, but that's about it. I don't think there's an actual distinction with credit or debit cards.
You abandoned the old gods, for a bustier blue god, and now you reap what you sow
>>282339143Will they honor open orders? Mine has the item link go to 404 but it still shows as open.
>>282340137My Visa debit card works fine on Ami's 18+ items, preowned and new.
>>282340272
God, I have messed up the order of operations so much. I’m on my way to buy cheap plastic shelves so I can have a bunch more vertical space to put a bunch of figures so I can get them off of the boxes that I have so I can open the boxes and then get more figures out and then I can put the boxes of storage and then where the boxes were. I’ll have actual room to put shelves and then I can get rid of the temporary shelves and put actual shelves which are in boxes that are covered in figures.

>>282340878gsc lists their figs as china coo
>>282340970Right, China is 30% no? Japan origin is 15%
>>282341009only japan has no stacking tariffsit's duty + tariff
>>282340970I currently don't have the impression that China has anything to do with this case. Tracking indicates that it shipped from Tokyo, and this particular Nendo is not stated to be made by GSC Shanghai.
Just got two packages from Amichan fresh off the boat from USPS and still nothing required for payment, so either anything that was in transit already is just being pushed through or they just don’t give a fuck about the tariffs right now and they’re not even bothering to try to collect any
>>282339143Reasonably speaking, what would be the best way at this point for sites to avoid this tomfoolery?Crypto? A whole other site/subsidiary site separate from the original? Some kind of point system like dlsite? I just want the option to buy plastic butts in a competitive market..

>>282341835You're naive if you think that's actually going to last at this rate, especially given it's been targeted before And porn-adjacent is putting it lightly, anything remotely attractive or "degenerate" is going to be under scrutiny to "protect the children"Let's go Project 2025 8^y
>>282339908My $168 Pekora had a $60 fee; however, when the UPS guy came to my door, it was instead $72. I still don’t know how they came up with that fee.
>>282342083UPS adds a 12 fee to pay at the door instead of in advance this was announced a few months back
Honestly I feel like a lot of you have really outdated information. When this happened for China you should have kept tabs on what was happening and adjustments for fees because again most things are made in China for our hobbies. Most were just getting by with the loophole of declaring coo Japan instead of the true coo.
>>282342168That’s really good to know. Thanks!

When I go to the UPS payment page, the fee changed from $41 to pic related.My original order was 48 (Nendo) + 18 (GSC flat shipping) = $66.$14.40 is exactly 30% of $48, which I read is what I should expect from the China tariff.Well, it's not as bad as the first impression, and I'm glad to understand the breakdown for future reference, but I really hope Japan Post resumes sooner than later. Fortunately I don't have any further GSCJP preorder shipments for the rest of the year.
>>282343454What's "brokerage charges"
>>282343159>Hololive just got their store shut down toohttps://shop.hololivepro.com/ seems to be working fine for me
>>282343787Fee for doing the customs paperwork
>>282343787it's "broke rage" chargesyour broke ass can only rage into the void as they overcharge the crap out of you for no reason
>>282343454Ah that fits a lot more with what I was thinking. The USA doesn't add any tariffs/ duties to the shipping cost like euro does. the 41 was the expectation that you pay at the door so they removed the 12$ if you pay in advance. The HS code used was 0% most likely
>>28234345448 dollar item, total final cost of 95 dollars. As a leaf, this is how things always are whenever I buy stuff from the USA, which is why I don't do it anymore unless I'm desperate

PLEASE AMIAMI LET ME SHIP
>>282344149Nope, she's going to get that warehouse nice and full of paypiggy boxes before she releases your package aaaaallll over Japanpost. But only when she lets you~
>>282344286Sorry Amico, but I'm not into this sissy hypno bullshit. I'm just gonna cancel.
Shipping on something like this would be as much or more than the item, yeah? I've only bought anime wives before, they're not very heavy.https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-190966
>>282344416nah, not that much since its quite compact. Probably around a relatively large 1/7 to ship.However I hope you are not in the US and/or that they dont use aluminum for that ( which is very , VERY likely, as aluminum is being tariffed 300%. not 30, 300.
do they make articulated scale figures or am i an idiot for even askingi like poseable figs but my problem is they're always so damn small
>>282344930you are an idiot for assuming articulated figures are not scaled to begin with. what you want are larger articulated figures, not scales, idiot.
>>282345042hm, so they do exist; that's a start5 inches of plastic shouldn't cost 150 fucking usd
Are there any places one could look for a in-person Japanese proxy buyer for a niche event other than something like Fiverr?
>>282345134You are asking for worse though, not only they look like crap at larger scale, they are ( or were) considerably worse. Real Action Heroes was a a line that pretty much asked for double a scale prize for a 1/6 articulated figure, so nowadays they would be closer to 400+ bucks for one.Luckily most people dont want that shit and the line has been mostly dead since the late 2010's
>>282345134Yeah, you definitely weren't asking the right question. Koto just started releasing some big kits, but you'll need to build them yourself.
>>282344930Buy a doll
>>282345212>>282345219i've got plenty of time on my hands so i'll take a look; thanks for the tip>>282345255i could make better use of a thousand dollars tho
>>282345301not all dolls are 1kfor no clothes since im going to make them a custom face + body + head + wig + eyes was only 250-300.just don't buy from volks and buy from a repuable chinese shop (in china not one that sells abroad)the only problem is that it's about a 8month wait til i get my fucking quattro doll
