So when buying from Amazon.co.jp, do you register for a brand new account unrelated to your US account? I assume you don't also get prime on that account? Are they linked somehow? I tried logging in once using my US info and, not surprisingly, got an error saying it didn't recognize the email address.
"Illegal" is probably the wrong term as it invokes visions of law enforcement. This is civil stuff. I don't think there's anything against the law about selling toys overseas, it's just that, the toy manufacturers have contracts that say that THEY can't market or distribute overseas and so they make that clear with their wholesalers and so the stores can't come to them and say "my overseas customers need replacement parts" because they're not supposed to be selling overseas.
Sure, i could complain to a mod, and have that mod complain to you, or I can just say "hey guys, this isn't the right place for this discussion we've all seen in four different threads now." I don't think that should hurt anyone's feelings....
Yeah, they can be brutal on shipping charges and they give minimal incentive to combine shipping. Usually their price plus shipping is still pretty competitive
Yeah, hlj has been awful. Even just during normal shopping the prices sometimes don't load and the site thinks it has no stock. Might be real tough to get a preorder in.
I wonder if that background pairs with 1/18 scale figures? Looks a bit small for that... But if it doesn't I'm really at a loss for what it's means to go with. Obviously it works suitably for other applications nit picking aside. I think a generic repair bay background for robot spirits sized toys and HMR would be a slam dunk. Add some repair tools and vehicles for bonus of my cash.
