I've had nothing but good experience with them, I've gotten immediate responses with questions and even help keeping track of orders. They ship fast, as well. So I'll support where I can. I have my thoughts on some of their pricing, as in terms of things like DX or roleplay toys their upcharges get ridiculous, but so far their Figuarts prices have been reasonable for the most part. They're a business, so they gotta make a profit.

Got it. Unfortunately Japanes website like hobby genki requires full payment upfront and it is a total of 27670 yen (~$200 USD) for birth, buff and riderman. For deposit, three of them costs $160 at tokullectible .

Hobby Genki offers free warehouse storage and you can always pay shipping later when they are released. For DHL/Fedex express, it will be like 4000 yen (~$30 USD).

So in total it is $230 USD on Hobby Genki versus $310 at tokullectible, which is like one additional SHF. Personally for me, it is a big difference, especially when SHF is getting more and more expensive.
