vf1 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) 8 minutes ago, mantisfists said: When I look at Amazon.jp, it shows that it's not released until the 28th. Did you guys preorder one through them or is there another place I should be looking at? Sorry for all the questions, y'all. Hey, it's the same link. If it says not released until the 28th, it's because the particular seller they are referencing don't have it in stock until the 28th maybe. When I ordered, there were a few sellers that had it in stock so I could click on "add to cart" but they seem to be sold out now so only the "preorder" option is available.

All of the sellers I see say it's unavailable to ship to CA. I'm in the Bay Area as well. There was one seller, with exactly one available. So I decided to just go for it.

Shawn Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 This seller had 2x available this afternoon....and they removed their no shipping to the US restriction, so I jumped on it and got one. The order 'took' so will see if they change their mind. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B089WGZJDG Shipped was 28400, so not good, but not bad... Order Summary Item(s) Subtotal:￥ 23,900 Shipping & Handling:￥ 4,500 Total:￥ 28,400 Grand Total:￥ 28,400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding it to your cart and checking out, once their system saw that you are shipping it outside of Japan, the said domestic tax will be removed.

mantisfists Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Anybody looking for one, Amazon.jp has one available for the 26,290 that was talked about above. Still says that they won't ship to me, but hopefully somebody else can jump on it. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B089WGZJDG/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1598499051&sr=1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Grande Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 NY shipped my Kakizaki. I’m amazed. They usually take at least a week to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) So, the seller I bought from* has 2 more up, same price, same shipping. However, the seller contacted me and said that since EMS isn't available to the states, could he ship it via Surface. So be aware, that if you buy from "イロハ堂[午後16時までにご注文確定で消毒・除菌をして365日福岡県から即日発送!!]." and in an area without EMS service, you may be stuck with Surface or a cancellation. On the other side of things, my Kakizaki from FromJapan shipped out via FedEx, and ought to be here in a few days.

borgified Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 For those in Canada, Kakizaki can be ordered from Amazon.jp at 26,290 yen with shipping at 4,500 yen (2 left in stock), to be delivered on Sept.14-18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed my order through the same seller. I'm not paying 4,000 yen for surface shipping. I just put an order cancellation in. Hopefully it sticks. And hopefully someone else puts one up with DHL.

So I immediately canceled that order (I can get one for less on Yahoo Japan and put it in a box that is already shipping DHL for effectively no shipping cost) and then got an email from him saying it could go boat only. I asked him to cancel the order. Aaaaaaannnnd, my CC got charged anyway. Yay, one more thing to follow up on! Grrrrrrr, I should have just had it sent by boat.

Mechapilot77 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So this just showed up in my white rabbit mailbox overnight. didn't konw this was out already (thanks to tekering's post on another forum i found out lol) and the email landed in some strange folder so i didn't even know until i searched my emails for white rabbit, lol. Anyway this is my first rodeo with white rabbit. All in, including shipping and the purchas e price i paid back when i ordered it comes to about ~$260 USD shipped from japan to new york. I picked DHL because i kow they have been pretty reliable during the covid times as i've gotten amazon japan stuff from dhl during this time. IF i picked fedex it would have been about $3 cheaper (and potentially a day faster) but i don't know how good fedex is from japn to USA right now. if everything goes well with this shipemnt i can see using them from future webshop exclusives or whatever bandai calls them. I know i had to prepay (aside from teh shipping which was $47 for DHL), but the overall price is not too bad right? anyone else go this route on this figure (aside from F360 that clued me in to white rabbit)?

RedComet Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Snagged one on Yahoo Auctions for 24,000 including domestic shipping), hope I can ship it and another one together for 6,500 (what I recently shipped 2 Hikaru 1S for).
