You're welcome! From Zero-One I was only planning on getting Vulcan, Naki and the main rider - Vulcan Rampage Gatling - so I'm happy to let others know about sweet deals on Rising Hopper!
I'm really confused HOW this is happening, though. There's Realising Hopper, sure; but that was a limited release and a lot of people really don't like the changes on that, and Tamashii Nation's rerelease of Ultraman Zero sure as heck didn't make him cheaper.

I would also like to point out that I did the most cliched toku fan thing: I bought a figure I didn't need right now (that Zero-One won't get opened until 2022) to make the shipping costs seem less egregious for the cheaper figure I really wanted.
There's only one type of toku fan! We are all the same!

Oh, I know that feeling. Recently I bought SHF Geiz specifically for the ridewatch stands; Geiz himself I was selling off to someone else. So what I was getting out of that purchase, purely, was the stands for Zi-O and Geiz (and also Kiva who I threw in). It was a pretty cheap purchase and I figured I'd just get it out of the way.

Mandarake is unbelievably fast with DHL(and not too expensive tbh). I live in MA and most of my packages arrive in less than 2 business days. Kurona lives in the UK, if I remember correctly, so customs might be a pain in the ass over there sometimes. I have not had a single bad experience with customs in the US.
Get an idea of how big SHF boxes can be, and take note of the DHL box sizes that Mandarake ships in, so you can have a relatively decent idea of how much shipping will be. They charge only like, 10 USD for their smallest DHL box, so I keep my orders around certain dimensions. |

Yeah our post office is just, rubbish. Got privatised and went downhill very quickly; shipping rates are ridiculous and the customs office is the worst. If you're outside the UK this shouldn't be an issue for you.
Mandarake is pretty basic in terms of use; it's like most any other website you'd import stuff from. The only real thing to keep in mind is that you have to order from the same store if you're ordering something together.
