>>5329354Good grief man.
Unless you can point me to a NON AMERICAN shop/agent that can acquire takaratomy mall exclusives that is trustworthy then I'll join you.
I buy mostly from amiami and hlj, and prefer hlj because I can just purge my orders without a care in the world.
I done my research, I order gundam model kits from "gentei kits", they've refunded me and given store credit when said purchases haven't been acquired due to limited unit sourcing.
The other I'm using is local (premium collectibles), gotten glowing reviews, free shipping over $100, and the early bird specials are sweet, and if they crack the shits and do a funny one I have enough knowledge to get a damn refund if required.
I'm not a poor bastard let me tell you, its the fact I've blown most of my paycheck far quicker than expected, I blame grand galvatron for $150 for that one and forgetting about devastator.
TLDR I have some faith in who I buy from and have the tools to fight back, as I've done before.
