>>5416721Sorry I took so long. Mandy's pretty simple to order stuff from., but it can look a little weird at first.
First, I'd recommend searching using Japanese characters for the best results (you can still use the english site though). In this case: マテリアルフォース
You might be able to find things using english, but it can be spotty and I only do that as a last resort.
Then, you'll probably notice the names below each listing like Shibuya, Nakano, Umeda, etc. These are all the physical stores that Mandarake has in Japan. The interesting thing here is that most of what they list online, they have in-store as well. After placing an order, there will be a brief waiting period as they check the stock. It's not unheard of for someone to have already bought the item over in their physical store before they could de-list it, but they'll never ask for payment before confirming it.
If you know you really want an item, but throw in some other stuff as well for fun, I'd recommend checking the "cancel order if out of stock" option for the desired item when checking out. Just so you don't end up stuck with a box of extraneous stuff you didn't really want.
Also, the thing with the physical stores means that you can't combine shipping from two stores, so it's ideal to order things from the same store if you can. The different stores also have their own quirks about them, so YMMV in terms of communication or things like that. The ordering process is the same across the board though.
Anyway, in (usually) a couple days after getting the order confirmation, if the items are in stock they will send you a payment request. At this point, you have (I think) 5 days to pay, which is usually done with PayPal. In a little while they'll ship your stuff.
I hope that helps you score some good figures! If you're at all confused about anything I'd be happy to go into more detail.
