>>6943034>>6943062Nippon-Yasan has always delivered for me (and I've ordered a lot of stuff from 'em), but their customer service is notoriously unhelpful. From what multiple people have reported, if you have a problem with your items (defect, damage, etc.) then you're outta luck. NY won't do anything to help. I've fortunately never had an issue with an item from them, but the one time I contacted them regarding a site issue (I didn't get some store points I was due) they didn't do a dang thing.
I've been using MyKombini now, and they've been pretty good (VF-31A disaster aside, though that affected all retailers). MyKombini has much more reasonable shipping rates than NY, and MK only requires a 50% deposit of the item price for preorders. NY requires full payment upfront including shipping (and if NY gets their shipping estimate wrong, they'll make you pay the difference before they ship).

Ex-S is awesome, by the way. Definitely recommended! If you're in the US, Amazon has it in-stock at $175, but it could be worth keep an eye on their listing for sales or warehouse deals.
>>6943375RX-78 is great! Well worth the price, and pretty much a must-buy if you've got an ANIME collection going.
>>6943593The hips have held up on my Char Zaku as well, though I haven't posed him that much.
