And if ever, hope they honor their cancellation policy just in case. N-Y had a period of trouble before crap hit the fan bigtime...so at least for now YYK shld still be ok...

MKT Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Nin-nin's pricing is a bit like NY right? They sell some units at a lower price initially, then it progressively goes up.. I've never had anything delivered from Nin-nin before, only a pending HMR VF-0A PO. Hopefully all turns out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only drawback with them is they tend to be a bit later shipping new releases compared to HLJ, but not like Luna Park delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arakure Knight Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) ¥43,889 for me shipped (literally) to Australia. I can wait for sea mail however the upside to ordering from Nin-nin is that they don't charge additional 10% GST tax unlike HLJ and Ami Ami so I've done good to get it at the cheapest price possible. Hesitated at HLJ and was cartjacked but no hesitation on this one.

MKT Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The good thing about Amiami's current PO times and method, is that they parcel it out in lots. The PO will re-open every 10 minutes or so in that hour's duration. So check back often. 1 hour ago, Phangry said: I've bought a lot of stuff from them, and I've never had a bad experience.

I’ve been out of it for a while so I logged in just in time to get cart jacked at the last open link. I haven’t ordered a world wide release yet. Is the mark up at U.S. retailers very high? Will be tough to beat my order at Luna park. So spendy 🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So spendy 🤑 I logged in yesterday out of the blue and noticed this PO, but I am traveling and in the Asia time zone not my normal US time zone, so was confused and forgot to check just now. I will wait for WW release or get one via proxy on Japan release day. I have done that for a few missed PO and it went well. So no big problem.

Anasazi37 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Snagged one at HLJ right at 4pm Japan Time, but their site was definitely straining under the increased load. Figured I would get cartjacked, but somehow made it through. As others noted, HLJ sold out in less than a minute. I was watching AE at the same time and they sold out in about two minutes. That's very unusual. There's usually still some units available the morning after PO Madness because they now charge the Japanese-tax-included price (even to overseas customers) and want payment up front. I gave up on AJ a while back. I think it's been overrun by shopping bots, so they sell out instantly, plus they don't pack things properly for international shipping.

spacemanoeuvres Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Yeah I regret the FOMO purchase at Luna Park. I was delirious and disappointed when I got cart jacked at yoya; an expensive combination 💰 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragontype Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Just came back up at Kurama but they increased the price.... is this getting more common with the price creep? https://kuramatoys.com/dx-chogokin-yf-21-guld-goa-bowman-use-action-figure/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphahorizon Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 So weird. When this threat started I was super excited. Fast forward a few years and responsibilities have changed dramatically. That and I slept through the PO again. 30.00 jump from a few hours ago at Kura seems a little steep. Now it makes me wonder how much any American retailer is going to start the price at.
