Mandarake parcels usually get through fine because the mark the value down (to like, 500-1000 yen in most cases). Since that's TECHNICALLY illegal, big stores like Amiami won't do the same and so they always mark orders with the full amount.

And yeah, my last 2 orders got hit with customs as well. I can usually get a 2-figure order though fine but 3 was obviously pushing it.

I don't think it's so much weight and more "big box = expensive". It might be random but all they have to do is look at the top of the box to slap a fee on it.

That explains a lot actually, most of my purchases are from Mandrake as their shipping and figures are generally cheaper, plus they usually have stock nowhere else has (although no one has Tekkaman Blade just Evil :() and they basically mark everything as a gift.

Not only was my AmiAmi a combined one but they didn't gift it either.

Bought me a Power Rangers ACG Universe of Hope starter deck and these cards aren't that bad. They even have pink and yellow have sentai characters with them.

So not only are there Tekkaman Blade Figmas, but there is also a SAC Motoko one. o_O I need to find those.

He has arrived.

Here is a Blade:)

I got the DX R&M Rideshooter on Friday. I likes it. I think they should reissue it under SHF.

I've got one of those coming my way as well, glad to see SHF Ryuki fits nicely inside.

I wish I could find at least one :(

It works really well, and it's very pretty, nice shiny, and hefty. The only thing that could be improved is the rubber 'straps' that clip into the figure. If they remade those to fit the SHF ports this could be reissued as an SHF vehicle. And I'd totally buy it.
