I'll look over my mandarake wishlist and see if the items are available at Sahra. It doesn't seem like Manda has that much SO-DO in stock.

Also were you guys aware that Sahra typically has more expensive shipping than the other Mandarake locations? The SAHRA location is more of a warehouse and isn't customer facing, so ordering from them typically costs more than an equivalent at the other locations.

Yup, it's just the only place that had all the items we wanted. Sometimes stuff like that happens.

I sent you a message with a list of links!

Does this sound like its the figures or just like, the poster?

https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/...%83%BC&shop=55

I have exactly one thing from Manda that I want. I'll chuck it in there if you don't mind.

I think it might be a figure? The description is a bit vague

Can do! Just PM it to me.

There's another listing on Grandchaos for the same price, and its description says figure only. So looks like you're good!

Update: We're down to 2000 yen in shipping left to be covered! Thank you everyone!

Edit: all of shipping is covered!

Hey so one person from the other chat dropped out of the order cause the item they wanted to get got bought, so there's 2000 yen of shipping from that now. Do y'all wanna split that or I can just cover it. (Note: Die took 3500 of the 7270 I had so currently I'm at 3720 yen in shipping personally)

I'd be willing to contribute a bit more if you guys need it. At the very least an extra $5.

That’s be great, thank you so much.

I don't mind adding in some extra for shipping.

My only concern is after this shipping + domestic shipping from you to me, the total for everything might be at or over the same cost if I had just ordered everything myself.

If it comes down to it, I don't mind you taking my stuff out of the packaging to get it all into a smaller box for shipping.

If you feel like it's gonna be cheaper for you just to stick where you are don't worry about. Also we have a few more people joining in so I think we'll be okay.

Can I ask how the order I took part in is going?

Your stuff has arrived! Do you want me to PM you the final price or would you prefer I wait a bit?

Waiting is fine, I just wanted to know how it was going.

Update for dreamsword and shishi, two more people joined in the order so neither of you have to take a bump in shipping.

Just a quick notice for everyone in the Manda order: The order will be placed on Friday around 4pm pst, unless something happens.

Edit: also the current distribution of shipping is
Discord Friend 1: 2000 yen
Discord Friend 2: 3500 yen
Discord Friend 3: 3500 yen
ShiShi: 1500 yen
DreamSword: 1500 yen
Me: 4730 to 7600 yen (it's this range because it jumps and drops as I try to decide what I want to get for myself)
Discord Friend 4: 0 yen because they only are buying a coaster
Die: 3500 yen
Psycho: 1500 yen
Discord Friend 5: 1000

Order placed! I've no idea when it will be here!

What shipping option did you use?

DHL is pretty much the only speedy option.

Only option was DHL so DHL (this is due to COVID, and the size of our box(es))

Nice, I've been very impressed with DHL recently. They are consistently on time and up to date with all my shipments. Especially compared to USPS.

How much did the final box weigh?

I don't think Manda gives us the weight of the box, sorry. The box is in the packing process still.

Hey, I'm gonna try to win this, does anyone want anything from it?

I'd be willing to take the Shining Hopper and Rampage Gatling keys, if they're not the ones you're looking for.

Update: did not win the auction, but

The boxes from manda have arrived at my house! 20pounds/9kilograms of stuff from Japan.

Wow it arrived in 4 days! Pretty amazing!

20 lbs is a lot less than I figured. But I always tend to overestimate how much things weigh.

That's an insanely large box. I think the biggest Toku-related package I ever received was the CSM Faiz Gear. My Tamashii Lab Revolcane was in a very long box, but otherwise small and light.

Only 2 days in shipping actually, it was 2 days just prepping.

And yeah box is huge and kind of light, lots of stuff. Got it all sorted atm.

Also Big News

I'm gonna start organizing these more often and less when I want things. I'm sending out a tweet and gonna set up a website too. I'm gonna start getting people from all over the place! Like make this into an actual business adjacent thing!

WHAAAAT

Congrats! That is legitimately big news! Folks are going to have a much easier time in 2021 getting their toku toys!

Hope that goes well for you!! Good luck!!!

Sounds like a cool plan. Good on you Deepsea!

Hey everyone, the majority of boxes went out.

Here's the part where I gently ask for tips cause I did a dumb and spent a lot on my girlfriend(s).

Got my stuff today, thanks! Realized that I might not have actually saved much on shipping with how small the So-Do boxes are, but if I'm ever trying to buy a driver off mandarake or something bigger like that, I'd definitely be open to doing this again

Working on putting together a Mandarake order, was wondering if anyone could help me with figuring out how to put it together while keeping low shipping. Definitely buying the Trychaser 2000 and Gouram set, and I figure I should order some other stuff too to help with shipping value. I'm not sure exactly how much can be fit in the different sizes of boxes they use. Browsed though Kamen Rider stuff in stock that location, and definitely interested in the Build Gashat too. Other than that, there's some Build So-Do figures, RabbitDragon Fullbottles, a converge figure, two of those small scale SICs, and a really cheap, lightly damaged SIC Kuuga that I'm looking at.

EDIT: NVM, found the page that lists the box sizes

So, is anyone putting together a Zenmarket order that will ship out June/July? I'm eyeing one of the acrylic display stands but the middleman sites don't have it yet. Thought it would be worth a shot reaching out here first before I try to go at it on my own. Thanks!

Edit: Forgot about Zenmarket's 45 day storage, so we're still not in that time frame yet (It's what I get for posting so late at night ).

Maybe I'll ask again when the order deadline approaches

Update: Not doing the thing as a business because it is not sustainable.

And good luck Graham!

If anyone ever gets an OOO Gaia Memory or OOO Signal Bike off of one of these auctions and doesn't care for it, hit me up; depending on the price I WILL pay for international shipping to get those guys


Sorry to hear that... if it helps to hear this, I feel you've been able to bring a lot of joy here on this board to a lot of people with this thread!

*pokes this thread*
Hey everyone it's me again. I'm just posting here real quick to see if anyone wants me to grab anything.

Also would anyone want to take the Eternal/Golden Extreme Set from this lot I'd really appreciate if someone could, I'd only ask for 3000 yen ish.

I'd be down for the SHODO Build set if it can be found at less than retail price. I also stilll need to grab the other SHODO stuff off your hands if you still have em lol
