How long did it take from when you placed the order to when you got it from them? I've ordered from them twice and both times were pretty bad experiences (the second time being the worst). Just trying to figure out if I'm really unlucky (which is probably the case as I've had an item sitting in Customs since 9/9) or not...

It actually took a long time, like a couple of weeks. I'd ordered an Amazon as well, he was listed as in-stock when I ordered him. Their explanation was that they were waiting to hear back from the distributor if they had any more Amazons(they did not) so they then shipped my order and refunded that portion of my payment.

It doesn't explain why they had him listed on their site as in-stock when it was not.

Also the Rock Bison was a damaged item, but the box that came in was in better condition than the SIC box, which had a nasty gouge in it. I don't generally care about box quality that much but I thought that was odd. It was such a great price I can't complain too much though.

So it's not just me then! They did the same thing to me about Figuarts Agito. It was listed in stock on their site and a week passed and no movement on my order. I emailed them and they said that they were waiting on a restock. I then told them that a simple email to that effect would have been good for customer service. Speaking of customs...anyone have any advice? My package from Korea has been in "Processed through sort facility-ISC Los Angeles" since 9/9.

Regarding your korean order, if you have a tracking number you can enter it at usps.com and see what they've been doing with it. I was waiting on a RSAL package that had been at Sort Facility NYC JFK(or whatever) for over a week and tried searching at USPS and was told there'd been a delivery attempt(which was BS). I took my tracking number to the local post office and they gave me the package.

It's been sitting at "sorted through the sort facility at Los Angeles" since 9/9 (11 days). I think I'll do what you suggest if it doesn't show today. Thanks!

FINALLY! After being stuck in Customs since 9/9 I got this in today!

So excited! Can't wait to get home for lunch so that I can check it out!
