The only real reason I used NY was the pay later option, it was convient to not have to worry about paying a whole month of orders at once, now without that I have very little reason to use them as my preference.

I would assume this whole thing is not very good for their bottom line as well.

So what items are effected by this at nippon? I only revived a email about knuckle and Pluto but not Vegeta or Omnimon.

I just assumed that all items are affected by it.

Though for me only Knuckle is highlighted as having a payment deadline so I dunno what's going on there.

So Knuckle shouldn't be too bad on the aftermarket, right?




Right?

If this person is open to new customers & takes payment later, I'm all ears. I've been trying to calculate things tonight and I'd really rather not do budget acrobatics this month and the next couple.

Doesn't seem like it. I haven't received anything about War Machine or the Precure characters coming.

Can't speak for the Precures but War Machine is October. Bandai's new policy must be getting enforced from November if the emails are anything to go by.

Glad I only have Knuckle preordered for those two months. Guess I'll look for a new and smaller middleman too, NY is large enough that they're probably going to surpass Bandai's threshold relatively often.

With that in mind, if the mystery person referred to in this thread won't be taking new customers on, what other option is out there with a "pay later" ability? The only one I can think of off the top of my head that's close is Toku Taku Toys (offering a split payment option) and BiginJapan (who want payment immediately if the order is over 20000 yen, so good for small orders but not those who consistently make orders of 3-4 exclusives each month like me). Are there any others I'm not aware of?

Just realized I never looked at getting Mach Dead Heat and now see that it is a Tamashii web exclusive for around $60.

WHAT. THE. FUCK. It's also set for Dec, so if I get this from N-Y, it has to be paid up front, and there's NOTHING else that month that I want, so i'm shipping one fucking SHF figure. If i combine with Jan, its the fucking Hulkbuster, and i'm not paying for that now.

Fucking Bandai - they could have given us ONE SHF release, two heads. AND it doesn't even come with a tire change ?
