Nice fig!

I will say, I am an Australian and I have never been charged taxes for imports. Never, for figs, pipe tobacco, a J360 and countless games. I'm really not sure why. A friend of mine in Britain paid something like 120pound for his J360 when he got it, really fucking brutal.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 2 07:42:10 2010 No.6548626 They also have a 50% off Fed Ex shipping sale right now as well, so it'll come out to cheaper than HobbySearch and AmiAmi with that.

My package finally arrived yesterday.

I really find the Yukari fig lovely. I just stared at her for a good 1 hour without me noticing it.

The jigsaw puzzle that came with is hard as hell. The pieces are really tiny.

>>6548591
GSC Dead Master? Nice choice! It is indeed a wonderful figure (I wish I had that).

The second fig in my package is Revoltech's Yotsuba. This is the first time I've ever gotten a poseable fig/toy(?) so doing stuff with it is really fun. Her left arm is kind of hard to move, but I'm gonna fix that later or tomorrow, or after I finish Yukari's jigsaw puzzle.

Damn, that looks wonderful! Is that a Garage Kit?

"Looks like I'll be buying another Yukari fig" is what my mind is saying, but it's highly unlikely right now since the money I separated for figures is only around $200. Until next time, I suppose.

Also, other things I bought. You can see Yukari's base.

Most of these figs are so overpriced now.
I already waster around 580$ for 4 of them (one of them is Shiki nendroid).

Still need 4 more of them. Saber Lily must be extremely expensive now.

Finally got Dead Master out of her box.
The base is rocking a bit, which is about the only negative remark I have, I think.

I love how it matches the BRS with both the base and the chain.

Can't wait until Christmas is over so I can get my arrangement back to normal.
I guess I'll have to get some lighting for them since their poses aren't really showing their (nice) faces with just my regular desk lamp.

Normally she uses ribbons, but she fabulously posed for this figure without them.

Their sales are the only reason I ever shop there. Despite that, they still seem to be doing good business; I know a decent amount of people who don't shop at Amiami because "they're new" (their reasoning not mine). Of course, those people also hate anime figs and just want diecast robots from Bandai.

I guess brand loyalty can go a long way.

Just finalizing payments for my first figure. How long does shipping usually take from Amiami?

Dropped a massive load of cash on it. I really hope shipping does not exceed 50USD. That would amount to over 150USD for this.
