Yeah, I'm thinking about just selling off the rest of my Transformers collection and possibly my MOTUC collection just so I can have room and money to get all of the new reveals.

look forward to the thread lol

I would be all over Ryuga and Dragblacker and Scissors and Volcancer, but then they had to go and reveal Mewtwo over in their D-Arts line...

Mandarake is pretty reliable. It has low prices and a high selection because it sells lightly used items. There are physical Mandarake stores in Japan, and ordering from them online is like K-Mart's system, except it works. You place and order, they check to see if they still have the specific item in stock, and they send it to you, but you have to pay separate shipping if you order multiple items from different stores, and I believe there's a 500 yen service fee if your order is less than 5000 yen, correct me if I'm wrong.

Note that if you buy from Mandarake and you use your credit card , you may have to call your credit card company to approve the sale. they cut my card off twice thinking it was fraud. Paypal is an easier way to avoid that.

Just don't let shipping bite you in the ass. Because it will. Hard.

when do they tell you how much shipping is

The main thing to keep in mind with Mandarake is to make sure that all of the items on an order come from the same store, otherwise they're all going to get shipped separately.

well im probly not gonna buy there, sounds too complicated

Please dont let what they're saying talk you out of it. Mandarake is incredibly reliable. They have multiple physical store locations all over Japan. When you place an order with them, whichever store it says its located at, is physically where your ordering from. You can order one item from their Nakano store and another from their Saporro store for example but can't have them shipped together because they arent in the same physical location.

However you can order multiple items from a single location and of course they will be shipped together. Orders totalling under 5000 yen before shipping will have a 500 yen handling fee attached. So if you're close to 5000 already its best to go ahead and reach or exceed that mark.

They accept paypal and credit card for payment. Their site says that dont accept paypal for SAL orders but thats false because I and alot of other people pay with paypal for SAL orders all the time. They accept any credit card but as with ANY US based bank or credit card company you have to authorize it for overseas payments. My bank wont let my card go through on an overseas transaction unless I authorize it beforehand.

Shipping is calculated after your order is placed. As a rule of thumb one Figuart shipped SAL will run you 700-900 yen. EMS shipping for one can total 1500-2000 yen. Be aware of that when placing orders and you wont get surprised by their shipping charges. Too often people complain about not knowing the shipping charge up front when its incredibly easy. I have personally had a DX Gingaioh shipped EMS for 5400 yen. That thing is a heavy monster and huge. If that cant help you get a general idea then nothing can :lol
