Still not worth making the risk of gift payments.

It's not like it makes a difference. Yokatta have done a lot to gain people's trust, they're reliable. While I haven't used them in a while because oki does split payments when I did use Yokatta they were very good to me.

I'd say if the item turns out to be cheaper go with them. Nippon Yassan is alright but I do find them to be really expensive in comparison. Also with preorders you have to pay upfront.

Yes it does. I don't care how small Yokatta is, lying to Paypal in order to shirk expenses, which leaves the buyer with ZERO protection if anything goes wrong is not something that anyone should do. Its not worth the risk and I wouldn't recommend anyone do business with such a dodgy system, regardless of people's good experiences.

No, you pay them two weeks before release.

I think I am going to go with CSToys for my Akaranger purchase, unless there is a cheaper place I can use that will ship to Germany.

You could always use sites like AmiAmi or Hobby Search. They are alot cheaper than cs.

If Bluefin release Akaranger then I will pre-order him at the Collector's Corner. If they don't then I can grab him on Ebay or Amazon. I got my Kyoryu Red brand new with free shipping for $33 from a HK seller on Ebay last January.

I forgot about Amazon. I hope they get him in. I have gotten all my other figures from there except for two.

Now to hope for Lost Galaxy and Wild Force.

If Akibaranger Season 3 happens then I hope the next Imaginary Legends will be:

Kakuranger

Carranger

Megaranger

Goaranger

Abaranger

Magiranger

Goseiger

With Goseiger, they can reissue Gosei Knight since he came out back in 2012.

I had good experiences with Nippon-Yasan at first, but they've become extremely dodgy and shady with me of late, so I stopped using their service and am happily back with Yokatta again.

Nippon-Yasan has great prices, but their shipping is so high I end up paying more with them.

After my Kyoryu Gold debacle, when I had three preordered from shortly after they went up, I became really hesitant for future dealings. They didn't even bother to tell me what was happening until I inquired about it, and many of us who experienced the problem received different answers, or no responses at all.

Now, when I tried to cancel an order that was placed back at the start of the year, they refused me. Apparently they have changed their cancellation policy, but refuse to honor it for orders placed prior to the change.

They made no mention of this change anywhere except in small lettering on their FAQs page, and just told me in a message when I asked to cancel.

That's extremely unprofessional and shady work, as far as I'm concerned. They can ban my account for not paying for my preorders if they want, I will not be going back to them.
