You can get Gaim later (he's a retail release, after all), go with the harder to get for a good price toy while it's a good price.

So how much does Mandarake charge for a single figuarts box?

It depends on how you choose to ship it and where it's going.

SAL and EMS for a single figure usually run around ¥1,700 to the States, though, as I recall.

Wow... That's a bit to much for a person like myself :lol

Whoops. I overestimated. I double-checked a couple of older orders and it's closer to between ¥1,300 and ¥1,500 for a single SHF. My bad.

There is that little in it between EMS and SAL to the states? In the UK EMS is basically double the cost of SAL, at least in my experiences, which is why I always go SAL.

With a single SHF, yup. DHL sometimes falls into that range, too. EMS to the UK sounds insane.

I dunno, maybe it's just my own personal experiences. I wish it was as cheap to ship here, as it is for you guys though.

I rarely go EMS, it's stupid expensive. But oh my frack is it fast. I accidentally chose EMS on a figuart from amiami and it arrived to the UK within a few days.

Which is a real shame that it's so expensive, but is worth it for tracking and speed imo. But I can be pretty patient when it comes to packages so registered SAL is how I usually roll.

Back to figuarts, have the kikaider preorders gone up yet?

Is there any word yet on when exactly Gaim and Baron are supposed to come out?
