I'm interested in trying to catch up on P-Bandai So-Do W and Kuuga, if you'd be able to help find some of those at good prices, I'd be down!

I will add this once I get my money (which will hopefully be soon).

Will dig up the first two, and will try to find Kenzan.

I can find Kuuga, (in fact I found a golden power and BeetChaser 2000 set for 12,000 yen) but for double I can probs find everything but the Lunetrigger/HeatMetal/Extreme set, but the price might be higher for some.

I'd be down with starting with just the Kuuga stuff, I probably shouldn't spend too much at once

Hi apologies to everyone, I basically ran out of money pretty close to immediately after I asked about doing the order thing. I have gotten more money now. I'm gonna post some links to items y'all wanted and can you tell me if you want em?

Here's a really nice Kuuga set with the all the P-Bandai items, wave 2, and an extra mighty for about 120 bucks

Cheapest Buster

Cheapest Kenzan

Hope this is helpful.

Hm, the extra Mighty I could have ride the bike, but I don't suppose there's anyone else who still needs wave 2 and would be interested in splitting? Though I suppose I could use the extra Ultimate for dark eyes... I'll get back to you shortly

I'd be willing to take the extra growing and amazing mighty btw, figured I should tell you that.

Also btw

N dagu runs about 25 to 30 on his own

The golden power set runs 50 to 70 (though typically 60)

and the beatchaser and goram run for some reason 70 to 80.

So this is a really good deal.

I'm aware of what a good deal it is, I've seen how weirdly expensive the bike and Gouram set it. If you're down for that split, yeah, let's do it. What's the next step, do we move to PMs?

PMs are fine, I'll send you a message real quick

Okay so here's the thing...I kind of want to get in on these orders, but I really have no idea what's going on and truth be told, I don't want to dig through the pages. To whomever is doing the ordering: please let me know what you're buying so I can say if I want in :lol

Oh it's me I'm doing the ordering.

What are you looking for? I typically go off what people want, unless splitting a lot.

Oh, so you just have a bunch of people tell you what they want, and you just place the order to save on shipping? I guess next time I need something, I know where to look.

Yup, and thanks! I look forward to assisting you.

Looks like I missed some of these messages. What was up to split from the Kuuga lot? Or did you all figure that out?

Which Kuuga box has the revolver in it? I saw it in the candy toy blog but don't know where it came from. Post says Pegasus form but I don't see it on the back of the box https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0721164111.jpg

Anyways, please sign me up for the Buster and Kenzan SO-DO if you guys decide to make an order.

Order is in the making, so I’ll grab you buster and kenzan.

The revolver is in the regular Pegasus box, which I need to buy a 2nd time since I lost one of the fore arms from my first one, so I’m willing to send you it.

And currently everything but w2 is going to fredbob, but I’m willing to give up w2 if you want it ShiShi.

If he doesn't, I would be ok with taking it.

Ah okay the revolver is not with Growing. I don't need anything from Wave 2 so someone else can grab that.

I'm gonna PM you a question, DeepSea

It looks like ShiShi doesn't want w2, so you can take em.

Edit: Fredbob says you can have all of w2 and that they don't need the spare ultimate.

I'll get back you asap.

Fine by me, thanks.

Edit: How would you want for just W2 out of the lot?

That is a question for Fredbob since they payed for it fully upfront.

Also I bought the AI 5.5 and placed sniper bids on a buster and a kenzan.

Would y'all mind if I asked for tips? I'm not gonna expect them like for every transaction but I want to throw the idea out there.

How's $20 sound? About $6.50 for each figure

Yeah man, that's totally understandable with the work you're doing

Both are fine, DM me whenever you want the money.

I'm cool with tips.

Are sniper bids cancellable without penalty? I just found Buster on ebay for a decent price.

Speaking of: what kind of prices do you all typically buy your SO-DOs for? My local Japanese market sells each box for around $8 making a single figure $16+, interestingly they don't pair them either, so sometimes they just have stray A or B boxes.

I think $20 is my upper limit for a single figure ($10) per box. But I dropped $30 on the 3 boxes that composed OOOs. When I think about it, that is seriously high for a single figure this small, but they are so satisfying to build and paint. It truly makes me wish I lived in Japan and could just walk into a convenience store and grab one off the shelf for like $5 a box!

Yes, that's why I place sniper bids typically.

Also I typically don't buy SODO figures in one or two box sets, I much prefer buying the full sets since I can get em for cheaper doing that.

Hmm yeah maybe I should buy them in box sets and sell the extras. My problem is I typically only want one figure out of a whole set.

Oh geeze that's rough, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe try to talk with other collectors and see if anyone else wants em? Or maybe paint em up and sell em?

Okay in an effort to get some real value from SO-DO, please put me down for am entire Book 4 if possible.

That's just a really great set with almost all awesome figures! (Don't care much for the red red saber suit so if anyone wants that I'll put it up for grabs)

Full sets of Book 4 are hard to come by atm, but they should hopefully start popping up soon, I'll keep you in the loop.

Would you mind grabbing this too? Am trying to stay lighter, but this is the first time I've seen Sparkling.

Course not.


Also fredbob I lost the auction, like 7 bids jumped on it around the end, I’m sorry. Do you want me to look for anything else, or just refund you?

You could look around a bit, sure.

Does anyone have any tips for cheaper shipping options with Zenmarket ? I recently used it for the first time but I wasn't thrilled with option I used, maybe it was a novice mistake

Context:
2 SHF figures + 1 loose gashapon figurine, DHL Packet Plus for 32,00 Yen, 1 month to arrive
Wasn't very thrilled because I've paid less for DHL shipping from ami and got the items in less than a week with a 3-4 figure order

I have a new package I'll will ship out soon with Zen and the items are less than 100g total. Would appreciate any tips

Don't use DHL packet plus, use the regular DHL

Use their calculator to determine the costs https://zenmarket.jp/en/calc.aspx

Add up the weight of all your items, don't worry about package dimensions, then see your options.

There's also the problem EMS isn't shipping to the US now, once that comes back that'll offer a more reasonable price.

Okay, so all the items except fredbob's have arrived at the warehouse. The problem atm is that the item I bought for my friend outside the forum has been stored for 35 of 45 days, but the auction for Fredbob's items haven't even ended yet. What do you all want to do? Wait till Fredbob's items arrive or ship now?

(Fredbob you get a larger sat in what happens here btw)

I might want some things from Mandarake stores, so if anybody is ordering from there let me know and maybe we can group.

All of our items have reached the zenmarket warehouse. I’ve created the package, it will not be asking for payments until the box has arrived at my house. Thank you all again.

I'll go ahead and pay for my share, if you don't mind PMing me the amount and other details.

Hey folks, I just got the invoice, and it's gonna be a little bit extra to get the stuff to the US. If anyone wants to send a bit extra for that it'd be appreciated.

Update: Package with the items arrives today!

Edit: Box has arrived!

Hey everyone. I've run into a bit of a predicament that can be to your benefit. Some friends and I from a discord I'm in are organizing a mandarake order. The problem is with all the items (it's like 3 drivers) we're getting we're stuck with using the largest box manda has.

The largest box for manda is 455mm x 320mm x 250mm and I believe that leaves us with plenty of space (I've been messing around with the cart and it seems like it does).

I'm not gonna split shipping by weight this time since size matters most here. This means I'll be paying 1/3 of the total 21750 shipping. I've asked the two friends who each also ordered a driver to pay 3500 each. This puts us at a total of 14250 of 21750 yen covered, so far. The remaining 7500 would be split between you all depending on the size of the item you're getting. If no one else participates I'll split the remaining 7500 among myself and the other people in the order.

So if there's anything you want, hit me up, I'd deeply appreciate it.

Edit: I forgot to mention the store we're buying from is SAHRA. Please look for items there.
