Are you trying to ship two nendos? I figured out recently it’s cheaper to just ship them individually as it’s only $10 each.

>>11841437
Nope just a single one. Apparently all "New" ones will cost 30$ shipping instead of 10$. Literally 0 point in using the actual site now.

>>11841420
Why does it say 2 items?

>>11841456
Probably the preorder bonus or goodsmile bonus, they count as items in your cart

>>11841456
It comes with a special stand.

I got into Japanese toys December 2024 didn’t even get a full year to enjoy duty free shipping before everything went to shit because of you know who :(

>>11841420
$30 domestic shipping? for a nendo? what?

>>11841632
Yup thats how it is for new ones

>>11841594
I've been into Japanese toys (and books and games) and have been importing since the 90s.
Since COVID, ive all but stopped, due to the absolute shitstorm that's been going on nonstop for almost 6 years now.

You have no idea of how good we used to have it.

The only reason i've bought anything foreign since COVID is because i'd get invited to order something to lower their shipping price.

Don't nendos go up on bbts?

>You have no idea of how good we used to have it.
It used to be that it only cost like $40 to ship a decently sized order. I thought things got bad post-covid but now it seems like it gets even worse every fucking week.
It has just gotten so unimaginable bleak over the last few years.

>>11841829
I think nothing is worse than COVID, because at least shit is shipping.
During COVID? Fucking nothing for about a year.

The fucking worst shit ever, especially because all in person nerd shit was put on hold for over two fucking years.

I mean that could be amiami for all I know and the prices would look exactly the same. Hell might even be more on the shipping. Japan imports are fucked at this point

I remember getting Figmas for around $40 shipped even into the 2010s. Now they're nearly $100 before shipping and well over that after shipping and the 15% import fee. This entire hobby is fucked and is probably going to die down severely outside of Asia in the coming years if something doesn't change.

>>11841829
Do not allow your happiness to be dependent on consumer goods like a consistent stream of toys. Then no matter what happens with importing said toys, it cannot phase you.

you're dumb.

If i see shit isn't shipping, and with no date on when it's ever going to ship, guess what? I don't order shit, so i missed out on a lot of cool stuff.
Who knew if they would just cancel my shit or costs afterward were going to be sky high, which indeed became thing. Troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere, and fucking space in 6 years time and definitely not worth it for 99% of the shit being released now.

this is why i turned to buying old shit, where i missed out on stuff and quickly raised in price to the point i'd rather buy new shit. Since new shit is worse now, i might as well buy some $150 figure that i always wanted and of higher quality. And I'd rather support some poorfag selling his stuff who needs the money than support inflationary reactions.

And it's not like the character choices in modern times are all that great. Most companies started making more acrylic stand crap, because the economy got so fucked up by COVID, so there's fewer figures being made nowadays.
I also used to buy a lot of sci fi and military minis, but because there's so much plastic in people's balls and brains now, they slowly stopped making anything that is supported by testosterone.

>>11842705
We've had this conversation. De minimis was on its way out regardless of who won. It's a bipartisan issue.

>>11842705
We did. We got what we wanted. Cry about it :)

>If i see shit isn't shipping, and with no date on when it's ever going to ship, guess what? I don't order shit, so i missed out on a lot of cool stuff.
Sounds like that's on you subjectanon. It's not the world's fault you decided you didn't want to order something because shipping was delayed. I didn't miss anything. Some stuff was delayed a long time but I eventually got it. Sad that you have the patience of a literal child.

>this is why i turned to buying old shit, where i missed out on stuff and quickly raised in price to the point i'd rather buy new shit.
So, in much the same way you harp on the Mezco guy for quitting Mezcos, you were priced out of toys. Bummer.

>Since new shit is worse now, i might as well buy some $150 figure that i always wanted and of higher quality
This is cope for being priced out of current toys and trying to justify the fact your spending just as much on shittier older toys with thick sloppy paint, antiquated articulation, and aging plastic. But hey subby bubby you do you.

>>11842737
There is a difference between politicians saying they want something and actually doing it. I’m sure de minimis would’ve lasted for a few more years without the tariff obsessed retard. At most the threshold might have been lowered or something more reasonable. EU's new de minimis policies are much better and don’t result in the suspension of almost every shipping method.

It's literally not me, because the world/society changed. No one knew when shipping would commence again and we were already seeing hyper inflation going on during COVID due to many fuck ups from world goverments.
So in an unsure world, i turned inward, instead of relying on the unknowns and assholes taking advantage of the situation.

And unlike that poorfag, I'm not saying everything is suddenly bad because i can't afford it. I'm literally said that older stuff was just better, because it literally was (harder/more durable plastics, better paint, etc) and I'm actually paying more for the old shit than i would for anything new.

I mean, if i was crying about prices, I'd be the people who are buying Blokees and the new Mattel DC figures. Barely painted shit and shitty plastics.

I'd rather buy some barely articulated McStatue for $60 that i was eyed with envy instead of some new SHF with the new hideos engineering. Nevermind there's literally nothing there that i actually want, because most new media has been mediocre to awful since 2018.

I mean, you can just recall my SDCC loot images. You'd notice that I've been buying fewer and fewer toys and more expensive artbooks (and sketches) instead. I used to buy a bunch of SDCC exclusives every year and a shitload of normal toys. When SDCC returned in 2022, i found next to nothing, despite SDCC being full of toys. So in 2022, i spent a ton of money on playsets instead, because nothing else was interesting and more art than previous years.
In 2023, even more art and just a few models. In 2024 there weren't even any models i wanted, but a lot more art stuff. SAme in 2025, but also 5 toys. I've spent more money every single year too, due to shifting focus of my interests and art shit being super fucking overpriced for what it is (ink on paper).

Pic from 2025 obviously contains my continued interest in Ashley Wood robots and older franchises i like.

>>11842979
>It's literally not me, because the world/society changed
Again, I didn't miss anything because I'm not an impatient child. I knew shipping would resume eventually and that my stuff would show up. And because most of my pre orders don't charge me until the item ships, what the fuck do I care?

>So in an unsure world, i turned inward, instead of relying on the unknowns and assholes taking advantage of the situation.
So you admit it's entirely a (You) thing. Got it.

>And unlike that poorfag, I'm not saying everything is suddenly bad because i can't afford it. I'm literally said that older stuff was just better, because it literally was (harder/more durable plastics, better paint, etc) and I'm actually paying more for the old shit than i would for anything new.
This is some serious poorfag cope

Also, every time you post your SDCC nails it reminds of what terrible taste you have. Also

>Still going to SDCC in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty six
You must be a masochist because that shit isn't even close to as good as it was even a decade ago. Honestly, you couldn't pay me to go to SDCC in our current time. And yes, I've gone in years past.

Also, I'm not reading the rest of your novella. Try to keep your responses under the character limit.

>>11842979
Blockees are popular because Hasbro derailed the main TF franchise with frame slop and three-four years worth of bullshit character selection for their line, with them wasting about three years on the 13 Promes, who NO ONE ASKED FIR OR WANTED, being the final straw that made Blockees a huge hit with fans

but y'all didn't want to vote for the nice brown woman who just wanted to give you free healthcare

>>11842992
>buying shit when you don't know when you'll get it or for how much
Companies love retards like you, who must consume no matter what.

Again, the world changed, not me. My interests remained the same and i would continue buying that shit if they catered to me with fair prices.
Hell, as you can see from loot picture, i still kept on buying World War Robot robots from Ashley Wood despite them charging for 1:18 figures nearly the same price as 1:12 figures did. A giant leap in price, yet i paid up, because i like what i like.

> isn't even close to as good as it was even a decade ago
You've been to SDCC? OR are you just being a contrarian, because you need to disagree with everything i say because you got butthurt over me not liking something you like?
Post proof if you actually ever went to SDCC. Your pass, a card, a bag, a program, anything SDCC from a decade ago branded next to an electrical socket.

And you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, because SDCC has gotten waaaay better in the past couple of years, because Funko is dying and more comic shit has taken up the spaces that funko and hollywood used to use. SDCC a decade ago was worse than it was in 2023-2025 by a long mile.
There was a noticeable shift in 2001 with LotR shit and hollywood/vidya taking over, and even Twlight in 2007 or 2008 made shit worse, but around 2011 was when funko shit started pushing out normal toy vendors.

>>11843035
SDCC has always sucked and only basic bitches like you go or care about it

>>11843017

This by infinity

Everyone I know that buys Blockees do so because the main TF line has turned to crap. No one wanted the 13 Primes or frame slop crap, teams being parsed out over three versions of a single line, and torso bots costing the price of a Titan and being impossible to find at retail so no one can complete a combiner. Or garbage RID '14 or BS recolors, the more garrish they were the harder they shelf warmed.

Blockees gave people the core cast and evergreen designs and no battle damage crap and at a reasonable price

>>11843030
No one wanted a black Nazi dick sucker who openly despised working class people, cheered when prices went up under Biden, and who championed a disaster of a "health insurance reform" bill that COST people their health insurance and basically made health insurance worse by forcing everyone to buy it "or else".

>Companies love retards like you, who must consume no matter what.
Considering I don't actually pay for the vast majority of my pre-orders until they ship, and can cancel them whenever I want prior to shipping, I don't know how exactly I'm being taken advantage of here. I put in a pre-order and forget about it until the figure releases. It's not a big deal.

>Again, the world changed, not me. My interests remained the same and i would continue buying that shit if they catered to me with fair prices.

Ok? I never claimed your interests changed. I just claimed that you were too much of a puss to wait for your toy to ship.

>SDCC a decade ago was worse than it was in 2023-2025 by a long mile.
I mean, to be fair, I wouldn't know, since I didn't go either of those years, but considering movies, comics, and games all suck now, and as you've lamented over and over again, the world has gotten worse. I went two years, did all the things, got my exclusives, met my favorite comic writer, Grant Morrison, and pick his brain for a minute, went to my various panels, posted the SDCC reveals for the Marvel Legends in the Marvel thread as they were happening, all of it. I wouldn't do it again. Not worth it with today's prices.

NTA, but props for the pic. I was reading that and thinking of how unreasonable a request that was since the only thing I keep from cons besides actual merch are pictures.

>>11843362
I kept a bunch of shit from the con other than the merch I bought, I couldn't tell you where 90% of it is at this point, especially since I've moved twice since going, but I knew I had a badge in one of my desk drawers and I just had to fish it out. I still don't get the electrical outlet thing, such a weird request.

>>11843319
I propose a gradual transition from a World of Balance to a World of Ruin has taken place with a sliding scale. But we have certainly fully entered the World of Ruin now. We are just now beginning to be sealed in our prison continents to prevent easy purchases from abroad, reversing years of easy importing, limiting importing and eventually travel to non-price constrained customers (i.e. the rich). Perhaps this was knowingly done to "protect American companies" like Hasbro, McFarlane and Mattel who make horrid products despite the fact that they outsource manufacturing of those products in China anyway. But hey the design half of the figures is done in the US and its just as bad as the manufacturing half if not worse.

And with companies like Inart and Lpzz totally destroying domestic US designed figures, I can see why the wall is going up to make those items even more expensive than imports were in the past.

You're trying to say that I changed, when the fact is, it's literally the world that changed. When shit didn't change, when companies still kept catered to me, i still kept buying.

>Don't choke on all that crow you're eating.
ooof, i like how you think basic proof to have an opinion on something is now considered some sort of own.
>I mean, to be fair, I wouldn't know
I'm glad you admit you don't know shit. And i don't think you understand SDCC, because conventions are actually a place to meet up with fellow nerds. I always make new friends and even join up with some random i talked to in line years before. This shit is half the fun of conventions. ... though 2022 was kinda shit, due to cAlifornia making people still wear masks and people still being scared of COVID, so i was kinda lonely that year. didn't help that merch was kinda shit too, but at least i got a bunch of cheaper than importing online playsets like in pic.

>the world has gotten worse ... Not worth it with today's prices.
...why were you arguing with me in the first place, if you're agreeing with the shit I've been saying? The world has gotten worse, with less shit to buy, yet you think i should keep on importing, despite you agreeing shit has gotten worse and prices have gone insane?
SDCC isn't the only thing that has inflated beyond sane prices, but again, SDCC caters to me, so I'll keep paying up.

>>11843539
I'm glad someone understands.

>>11843830
I'm not replying to all that. It costs me nothing to place a pre order for 99% of the shit I buy. If it gets delayed who cares? I buy Mafex figures. They are constantly delayed. I'd have thought with your love for Mezco you'd be used to that by now. It's no one's fault but your own that you missed out on anything. I never claimed your interests changed. Stop making up arguments in your own head. And yes. You accusing me of not actually going to a con and then being proven wrong is you eating crow. Shit the fuck up you little goblin. No one likes you.

>>11843837
>consumerwhore still defending his consumerwhore behavior
i like how you complete ignore your old arguments, because they were all specifically proven wrong and just latch onto the vague statement

>You accusing me of not actually going to a con
You made an ignorantly stupid remark (that you admit was ignorant), so i gave you a chance to prove you actually went to it, because i wanted to understand why you'd say something so stupid.
And it turns out you went in one of the worst years to go if you were into action figures and imports, and was also around the time comics started becoming niche at SDCC. Yet somehow I'm not supposed to doubt you when you say it's worse than ever, despite a great rebound (after they stopped pushing theCOVID nonsense)?

There's no crow to be had for just proving you're allowed to have an opinion. I mean, i get it, you like the year you went and think it's the greatest ever, but lots of years existed before and after thsoe years you went. There's higher highs and lower lows.

> No one likes you.

>>11843848
The fact you think you're disliked because you have differing options than someone and not because you have the personality of a cactus is all that needs to be pointed out. There's a reason you're nearing fifty and live by yourself and it isn't because of what brand of dolly you buy.
