Oh I'm planning to order two more sets at christmas to complete my set (I already have one each of the Heisei 1 and Heisei 2 sets; I just need more stands so I can have all Rider stands at once). Amiami has had them reduced to 600 yen for about a year now so that's what I'm planning to use; especially since they've also got UAF Luna Miracle Zero on sale too.

Meant to say this two pages back (I forgot about it teehee) but we finally reached 2020 pages in this thread. Yay, go us.

Literally me
Told myself I would get them after finishing the series
But I kept seeing them available and panicked on future availability
So future me will probably have more savings?

Glad to see people picking up Rising Hopper for a good price
SHF Zi-O is just a little under 4000 yen and he’s always in stock, I wonder what happened there if Zi-O line sold really well. Or was it just the DX ride watches that people bought ?

My recent Mandarake order got to me in 4 days from the day I paid the invoice.

Like other have said, you its really important to pay attention to the physical size of your order (less so weight, unless it is ridiculously heavy). They will split boxes if you request, but it doesn't always save on shipping and if you cancel too many orders your account will get banned.

I think a single modern SHF fits into the smallest DHL box and the shipping will be around $12. Although the last "small" order I made, had a shipping cost of 1,670 yen ($16). And my biggest order ever was $66 shipping.

For me it was always dependent on the store.

Complex was always the fastest, while Nakano was always the slowest for me. Sahra was the most expensive.

Cheapest DHL was around $13 for a single Figuart. Most was around $200 when trying to order an $8 Gashacon keyslasher. Which is one of the orders I had to cancel.

Also, anyone want to keep an eye out on a Thouser for me? XD

I learned from Kurona(or was it someone else? I forgot...) that Sahra is actually a warehouse, so shipping prices are kind of insane. For the first year I learned about Mandarake, I only ever placed orders with Sahra, since they always had everything I wanted, but always felt the shipping prices were kind of harsh. After actually shopping at their other locations, it blew my mind how cheap DHL actually was lol

Oh yeah, it's hard to get DX stuff via DHL...even if you get something that doesn't come with the box. Bigger shipments are the one reason I miss EMS.

Ooooh, so THAT'S why! Explains a lot.

Huh, learn something everyday. Which store do you feel has the best shipping price ?

They're actually all almost the same.

Is that rising hoppet still on manda, or did it get bought already. Took me a while to find my debit.
