thanks for the info :thumb:
im still kinda on the fence, i dont like not knowing the exact price of what im buying before i buy it

Mandarake are incredible. I've only started to use them recently, but they are genuinely awesome. Great prices and for me at least, shipping has always been cheap and quick even for SAL. They even mark it as a gift so it slips through customs, although the last one didn't but that was wrong on the royal mail's end....

If you choose SAL and have, say 3 Figuarts you probably won't pay much more then 2,000 yen, based off my experience with them. Again though I'm in the UK so it could be higher or lower for the US.

I wasn't trying to scare off , just wanted to give you a heads up from my personal experience. I also ordered my Accel using DHL by accident. Shipping was really pricey but it got to my house 2 days later. :thumb:

Mandrake is great, but I wish I could see the estimated shipping cost BEFORE I pay for it. I always choose DHL because it seems to be 2400Y no matter what I buy (whether it is 1 or 5 items), but it would still be nice to see the prices to choose from.

One tip I have is to add whatever you're buying(or something generally the same weight and size) to the shopping cart on HLJ. They have a real-time shipping calculator. So if you want to know, generally(it may vary by a couple hundred yen due to how Mandarake may package it differently) what two figuarts will cost via SAL or EMS then get two similarly sized in-stock ones on HLJ and see what their shipping quote is.

mandarake is great for figuarts buying.especially some of the exclusives they have its abit cheaper than the ebay prices you get.shipping varies SAL shipping is pretty fast and I usually get them within the 2 weeks period only some items I have gotten they upped the shipping to a faster service cause of the size.but do know now they dont accept hotmail email address now

Its funny. I saw that thing about hotmail on their main page. Now the funny part is that hotmail is the only account ive ever used with them. Its been nearly a month since they made that announcement about hotmail but they're still accepting mine :lol Just got an order confirmation yesterday in fact.

Just got my order confirmation for my Meteorstar on mandarake. Thanks smart phone during a power outage! Anybody come across a Cheeda Nick for sale anywhere I would appreciate a heads up. I am not having much luck yet

Mandarake is great! I've always been using them for my SHF.

I'm still pretty new to this board, but I've been on TFW2005 for awhile now. So, first of let me say: Hi everyone!!

Now, I just started collecting some of the Kamen Riders from Figuarts and I was wondering what a good figure stand would be?
I know there is the Soul Stage Act: 4 for Humanoid (in various colors) where it seems you get 3 stands in the box.
I was really wondering if there were others that might be better for them, or a generic type that can be purchased in bulk? Also, where would I be able to get them if they exist?
