question Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) This may be a bad news for those who've been planning to sell their collection... But I've found a store where you can still buy first sets at a cheap price (not opened of course)! http://jsanime.com/jsa/ I have just placed my order. I thought many of you may be interested...

izzyfcuk Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 $8.95 for a whole set? of 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDimensionalDave Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Tried to order a few but looks as though the only way to order is via credit card and their unsecure server (authorize.net?). At that point I aborted. Caveat Emptor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmitty Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'm sure its $8.95 for just a single box, not a set of ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzyfcuk Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 yeah for a set of then, it's pretty expensive, i think i'll rather get if from singapore here. but thanks for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trash Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Compared to the prices these things have been going for on ebay (both opened and unopened/sealed/unknown figure) -this is a good price. And for a Hikaru or Mylene (which seems to be what everyone wants here) $8.95 doesnt seem to be a big gamble for a figure that is costing as much as some of the 1/60 Yamato Valks. I've seen 2 Hikaru's go for nearly $60 a piece so far and Mylene a little less and sometimes a little more. Ugh. However, I have to wonder if this means other (and by "other" I mean "cheaper") retailers will be getting in more shipments of Collection 1 as well. That would be nice.

wolfx Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 8.95,random in box. I'm quite sure its per box, not whole set of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bariaburu Faita Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Caveat Emptor indeed. Very strong warning. From my experience, when a high demand trading figure suddenly shows up at a single store, the figures have a high chance of being pre shaken. I have never delt with this store, but due to the ease of picking out the hikaru and minmay figs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Yeah, glad I got mine when I did, which was way after the fact, but I still got em at reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

question Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 I guess this wasn't that good of a news... Now I am little worried about the security stuff. I didn't think about it. As far as the product is concerned, I think it will be okay. I found an online store that still had may in stock from last year and I was actually trying to buy these figures from there (little over 6 dollars). But it turns out that a customer before me bought 20 box sets, which was J-station, and they ran out. So I had to purchase from J-station... Oh well... I hope my identity doesn't get stolen. Do you know how bad it is to use non-scure sites to purchase stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

question Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 I bought two figures from other place and first one was Hikaru (normal) second one was Minmay (clear), which I am very happy with. I am still waiting for J-station shippment. I realize that first figures are not as tight-fitting as secound sets, but I am really happy with the Minmay figure.
