Other things that arrived recently

My preferred proxy site is FromJapan. Through Mercari & Rakuten, I've been able to find more niche or older releases that the bigger import sites don't always carry. Stuff like Gashapon and candy toy figurines.



And sometimes there's incredible listings on Mercari, like a selling offering just the bonus parts from the SHF Kiva bike set:



One of my other favorite places to browse is amiami preowned. I would say half of my early collection came from here. Through some incredible luck, I found this listing that looked too good to be true



Shinkocchou Seihou - Rider 1 Sakurajima Ver. - Having missed out on the original release & reissue, one night I found a C-graded copy on amiami for a ridiculous discount. The reported issue was "loose upper torso", but in-hand the figure still moved great, was in excellent condition, and all the accessories were bundled in (even the spare antenna). I threw in another cheaper figure to eat up the shipping cost, so in the end it averaged out to an incredible value
