I have Twitter notifications on for @Tokullector. They can get annoying sometimes with the posts I don't care about, but I've never missed a pre-order since.

Unless they figure out how to do Ride Watch printing, a Geiz Majesty SHF would look horrible with all the blank faces. And that would be a lot of tiny parts to lose if each watch were to be removeable.

yes, I saw that also, doesn't make sense to ship one item now

Not so long ago, probably one month or so

Always ask for the smallest box. Sometimes they give you one that's bigger than necessary to protect the items. I haven't paid more than 18 USD for DHL in months.

Even with Mandarake? I thought the shipping is shown in the listing and is fixed, isnt it?

Depends on the store. SAHRA shows you up front/at checkout, the others only give an estimate on an item's listing at best.

That's what we are taking about increased shipping cost. The estimate is used to be 1440 yen but now is at 2330 yen for a single figure.

I blame COVID restrictions and inflation in general. They're just been getting worse and worse.

Yes I'm in the US particularly Chicago and my shipping estimates from Mandarake are now 2330 yen for DHL and 2400 for EMS....I recently bought 4 ridewatches off there and shipping ended up being 2800 yen and it was no different size box than what I would get if I was to order 2 figuarts. Also shipping from Sahra will run me around 3300 yen...

The shipping for the Justice Serval preorder I just did from Hobby-Genki was 2450 yen through DHL but was still cheaper overall than ordering from Tokullectibles or BigBadToyStore of course.

The issue with the rise of shipping costs again is the fact that ports are backed up and like you said Coivd restrictions and the fact that people are still catching Covid and just think how that could affect and slow down the shipping docks and ports when you don't have enough people to meet the demand so of course people are gonna take advantage of that and use it as an opportunity to raise costs

Finally got my pre-order of Slash in. Just Calibur and the Shindai siblings left for the SOL line up.

I do hope they make a Calibur-Sophia version with more feminine form.

Ergh. This was supposed to go to the SHF thread. :D :D :D
