What's up with Mandarake?

Don't be specific or anything.

The fact that it's that weird Apache error screen?

Nothing amiss on my end. Did a search, even added something to my cart and proceeded with a test order to see, all worked normally.

Working now for me.

Hyper weird. It didn't even look like Mandarake. It was blue, unlike they're usual red server load screens.

I've been getting the "Apache" page off and on a few times a day for the last couple days. Just had it happen for the last half hour actually. All good now though.

Base for Super Train Megazord. Not the DX :lol

Didn't even know that existed... awesome.

Does anyone know where I can get a Cyclone or Joker Gaia Memory? To be more specific, I would prefer to get one of those cheaper candy/gashopons ones rather than the DX versions.

ok i know im super late to the game lol! but i wasnt going to collect lockseeds at all but i was at a Japanese market and they had the candy toy lock for kachidoki so i decided to check it out and i really want to get my hands on orange and banana lockseeds does anyone know if they pop up on mandarake regularly? or am i SOL? Or if you know of anywhere else i can get them or maybe someone selling some of those?

Does anybody know how much Barnes and Noble sell SHFs for in the store?

I'd like to tell you, but I've never seen them in mine. I'd imagine they'd be MSRP though.

barnes and noble does sell sh figuarts but its only mario for 24.95 and the 2 extra sets for 19.95 each at my store.

I've only seen Super Mario at B&N, which was 24 dollars. They also sell the 2 accessory packs which I can't recall the price.

My local B&N sells Dragonball, Sailor Moon and Power Ranger SHFs for 43 to 46 dollars before tax.

Just a heads up, SMF Zeo Gold now in stock on TRU for $9.99. Limit 2 per order.

TRU exclusive MMPR Mega Bloks set now at Ollie's for $12.99.

Most of the stores also seemed to get a plentiful restock of Megaforce stuff, including Gosei Blasters and Robo Morpher ($7.99 each), metallic ultra mode rangers w/ chase MMPR White ($3.99 each), Gosei Wonder vehicle sets ($9.99 each), and the deluxe electronic Red and Robo Knight ($9.99).

Anyone know of another middleman service that will order existing goods from the Premium Bandai store? Yokatta disappointed me last time and Buyee doesn't seem to be willing to do so.

I've given up on Yokatta - they just take WAY too long from receiving to finally shipping toys out.

I've ordered a number of times now from http://japanherocollectibles.com/ and they have been stellar. Great communication and help and have got me everything I've wanted so far. Give them a try.

Thanks! Yeah, the last time I tried to order from Yokatta I didn't hear back for nearly a week and by then the auctions were over. It was rather frustrating.

Ooh, I would seriously, seriously want that one.

Can anyone give me a quick low-down on buying from Mandarake? It was just introduced to me, but I am afraid to get too far into the process before I know what I'm paying. I see various shipping options and descriptions for them, but no general pricing before clicking on the next step. I don't mind waiting for things; I just don't wana get bitten hard by shipping. I would assume the one that has the longest wait would be the cheapest, but I'm just looking to be sure before I jump in.

Mandarake is going to vary depending on what you buy, how big it is, and how much it weighs. Any purchase under ¥5,000 will net a ¥500 handling fee. There are multiple locations, so make sure when you order it's all coming from one location or you will get charged shipping from each store. SAL is your least expensive option but can take as much as two-three weeks to arrive.

Thank you! That's what I needed to know. I'm only buying one item - a Figuarts Fuwa Juzo (Or Deker, in Power Rangers Samurai) and he's exactly 5,000 yen. If I pick SAL, it shouldn't be too much over that, right?

Happy to help! A single SHF figure seems to run around ¥1,200 or so for SAL, at least in my experience.

Alrighty, not bad, not bad at all. Especially since I've only ever found this figure for WAY more than that, so this is a good deal, at the moment.

It's been 5 years since I used BBTS, when an order is "Warehouse" status does that mean they are preparing for shipment? Both items were in stock and I paid yesterday. I was hoping to get it this week.

There is a product I want at Mandarake, but the listing is entirely in Japanese:

http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en...s-1432110.html

Is this only for sale in Japan, or can I order it?

Also, what is Sawara's store reputation?

Most of their product listings are heavy on the Japanese. I don't recall ever getting anything from that location, but if it shows up on the site you should be able to get it, provided no one beats you to it. That's a pretty high price these days, though. The last two I saw go up were around ¥4,000 each. However, they do tend to go pretty quickly at that price.

But, if you're happy with the price, go for it. I've lost count of the number of things I've waited for better prices on only to see the supply dry up.

Okay, thank you for the reply. I am happy with the price so I will get it.

Good luck! It's a nice piece to have.

I saw on another forum someone mention finding Figmas at Books a Million, can anyone confirm this?

I can answer my own question; yes they do, but just Link.

Yo, I've never ordered from Mandarake before (been too scared of google translate failing me and ending up ordering something wrong or in poor condition) but am considering doing so- but does anyone know they take debit card (happens to be Visa fwiw)?
Technically debit cards will be accepted in most if not all places that credit cards are, even if not outright stated, but occasionally a seller will only take one and I've been caught out before.

I've used my debit card with Mandarake before. More than likely you will need to call your bank first, though. A lot of banks won't allow international purchases without prior approval from the cardholder as a preventive measure against fraud. PayPal is way easier if you have access to that, but a debit card is a viable alternative.

Well, I've made international purchases on the card before through other stores, with no issue, so I don't imagine there would be any more of an issue this time should I go for it. Thanks for the help!

Gaim Gaiden with Taboo Lockseed is listed on AmiAmi!

Gaim Gaiden Blu-Ray

Gaim Gaiden DVD

Awesome and tempting, but a bit rich for my blood.

Better than the $100 shipped from the various middlemen.

That is true. I'm just not sure I can justify that for a DVD in a language I don't speak.
