i don't think there's a single person on earth with a legitimately good thing to say about this figure. find literally anything else (except the neca. i forget i even have it because it's in a box somewhere and i haven't looked at it in years). my favorite is the sega figure t b h. statues and vinyl figures are the best shin options

I’m not really a casual I like to pose my figures I just don’t think import websites are justifiably cheaper especially for how sketchy they are like whatever I’ll spend the extra $24 also the sega statue has dumb alligator eyes also obviously I know the Monsterarts is bad that why I’ve been avoiding it for 7 years

Absolutely incorrect, fourth night version is a pretty solid release, of course it suffers of the classic sloppy monsterarts teeth, but aside from that I really enjoy mine, no loose articulations and nothing popping off unlike the og shin release. I can accept that he still might be a little pricey tho, I ended up paying around 140 bucks for mine because of the retarded big box that doesn't fit in air small packet.

Especially right now with the current value of the yen being so low. I literally save $10-$15 a purchase, shipping included, by paying in yen. I got the new Being Arts Cloud earlier this month for $104 shipped from HLJ. Would've paid closer to $140 if I got it from somewhere like bbts.

Import sites are Japanese you mong, way more trustworthy than any overpriced mark up riddled domestic seller you can find. Even the French owned Nin Nin Game is perfectly fine and way cheaper than BBTS.

thats about a 30% difference in price, the exact percentage may be wrong but with the current rate of the yen, you're almost guaranteed to pay less even after shipping is factored in when you buy from import sites

My parents have been giving me and my siblings cash the past few years along with a few smaller nickkacks so they have something to physically give us when we exchange gifts on Christmas Day when we all go to my parents house for Christmas dinner. I used the money to buy my GPU last year. They've never really gotten me anything outright toy related since I was young.

I do get stuff from my siblings though. My brother has gotten me a number of import figures over the years and even a diorama one year. My sister doesn't have a job yet since she just finished school so something like a $25 ML she can go pick up from Target is perfect.

Shipping's gonna be like $50 or more unless you want to wait 30+ days for it. DHL and EMS are expensive as fuck now and it doesn't seem like they're going to go back to the normal $20-$25 price range they had before the pandemic. At that point it's just quicker and about the same price if not cheaper to buy domestically. If I'm wrong I welcome being corrected because I hate this state of affairs.

The figure is actually perfectly fine, the problem is the paintjob
Sculpt is very detailed on it and articulation is pretty nice considering the design. But being pitch black and with poorly applied reds makes it look like shit
A repaint or even just grabbing the bone colored version improves the satisfaction factor a lot since you can actually appreciate how good it looks then

Its an order form from amiami, you'd probably be able to recognize it if you'd ever even used it. Also point me towards a single post thats purposefully hiding an import site you big retard. Several major reputable sites have been listed in this thread, amiami, HLJ, Nin-Nin and Mandarake.

If you're buying one import at a time, yeah, domestic really isn't a bad call. If you're someone who orders imports regularly and is purchasing 3+ figures a month from Japan regularly, it's better to order from a foreign site. Covid shipping prices pretty much made it this way, like this anon >>10787389 said. Exchange rate is really good right now so you're pretty unlikely to be hit with a 50 dollar shipping fee, but somewhere around 35-40 for Shin Godzilla is probably about on point.

It was posted to support the fact that imports on the whole are cheaper when bought from import sites when in-stock during their retail period, otherwise I would have said it was in-stock. I'm not sure why amiami lists my archived order form as "In-Stock" though. Nin-Nin's price is reflecting the current after-market value of the figure, they do this regularly when figures are considered "discontinued". I remember they once had an original release SHF King Joe for ~$150 when the reissue was up for PO on their own site for the new updated (cheaper) retail price. Amiami does this as well for their pre-owned figures.

I usually prefer BBTS myself, I just pile up everything into the Pile of Loot and ship it all for $5.00 after 90 days.
