Nippon Yasan have definitely made a mistake with Locke and that should be considered when choosing a seller, but every store does make mistakes, even giant ones like BBTS, Amiami and (especially) HLJ. As Locke said, they are responding to messages so clearly are trustworthy and are hopefully making sure Locke is treated right and if they didn't, that's what Paypal exists for. I own about 60 Figuarts and about 30 Sentai Mecha, all from either Amiami, Mandarake, HEJ or Nippon Yasan and all received within 2 and a half years and I've never had a problem except with HLJ, who just suck in general (nothing to do with being Asian though).

Wasn't being racist, just saying that's the bulk of the fandoms buying market. I don't care where it's coming from, I just want it to work. I hear pretty good things about Mandarake, so I'm seriously considering them, but for my current financial & ethical needs, I stick with what's worked for me. If I have a problem here stateside I stand a better chance getting a solution. Aside from paypal, any international orders are more likely subject to ramping foul ups, at least in my eyes.
