My toy expenses are pretty low for a while because of medical bills, can I ask, would it be better to try to finish getting metals for my OOO Driver, get Drive stuff, see if I can get the Zyuonger stuff early since it'll be cheaper, or get all the ToQ trains? I only ever bought figuarts or some belts, so I have no idea how much any of these would even end up costing at the end.

>>5450306 Mandarake is by far one of the best sites for getting cheap but new or essentially "Like New" items. It's not good for getting really specific stuff like the rare variants of collectibles(You have to go to Yahoo Auctions for that usually), but everything else is usually really well priced and available easily.
Just remember to order ￥5000 or more from a single store so you don't get hit with a ￥500 service fee, it's a site where you can't mix and match like Amazon for instance.

Moose !!UzgADXuLlVV
Quoted By:
>>5450434 >What risk is there though for me not receiving my package? I've ordered unregistered and registered SAL and EMS and I live in the US. I have not once lost a package yet with (R)SAL (About seven or eight packages over two or three years now), though you might be worried because SAL does take like a half a month to a month to get to you and if it's not registered you have no tracking at all. However, if you do get registered SAL they do give you insurance on your package, and EMS gives you insurance by default, so even if your package is lost they'll refund you completely.
I think Mandy only does registered SAL anyway but it's been at least a year since I ordered via SAL from them, but you can specify that you want it to be registered SAL and insured for a certain amount that you specify when you're placing your order, it'll just tack on like $4 extra for your shipping.
Just remember that Mandarake is a set of real stores in Japan, so when you place your order you're not guaranteed the items you buy since they might have sold them at the actual store, so if it's a big deal you can click the button that says "Cancel this order if item is not in stock" when you're at checkout.
Anonymous
>>5450434 >What risk is there though for me not receiving my package? Practically none. I recommend going with EMS or DHL shipping, It's more pricey but I always get My package in less than a week from Japan to Wisconsin with tracking. SAL is cheaper but can take up to a month and you don't have tracking. It's still pretty safe, but for Me EMS or DHL is just nicer.

>>5451387 Goddammit, the Japanese are gonna stagnate the already slow SHFSS line. Like, I can get doing Rider forms that made the show or were iconic story elements like Kuuga Ultimate or, say, OOO Tajador combo. Monsters who have that level of iconography are okay too.
But FUCK IT if we have to suffer through them redoing every goddamn form of Kuuga for the SHFSS monthly release for months on end. We could be getting Gattack or Diend. We could be getting other Riders who deserve the time and resources. Both decades of Hesei still have plenty of them.
I LOVE Kuuga, mind you. It is just that I really wanted SHFSS to be a line that trimmed the fat and went straight for redoing Kamen Riders in their base forms at top notch quality. Especially since, again, SHFSS is slow and I'd rather them devote all their time on base forms than waste even a second on fat. Only the most iconic of forms at best should be the exception for SHFSS Rider releases.

So I've always heard a lot of criticism about Eternal's Figuarts. What exactly is wrong with him (and I guess by extension Red Flare) other than the kind of weird proportions that every figure with the Double body has?

>>5462981 Mandarake currently has Fourze's Base States for as low as 1500 yen. What's great about him is, aside from the neat spacesuit aesthetic, he has several module sets that provide you with tons of extra weapons and accessories for you to mess around with. On his own, he already comes with his rocket and drill accessories, so you won't be disappointed even if you opt not to get the module sets.

>>5463006 Thanks for the tip
Around the internet I'm seeing the following SH Figuarts within my price range. Please let me know if any of these are very durable and articulate - or the best among these:
>Master Asia "G Gundam" >Vul Eagle Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan >Agito Ground Form >Bio Rider Kamen Rider Black RX >Kuuga Mighty Form >Fourze Base State >OOO Shauta Combo >Fourze Meteor >KR No. 1 >Agito Shining Form >Beast Wizard Anonymous
>>5463039 I'd recommend Fourze Base States like that other Anon. It has a shit ton of playability.
Out of that list, I don't recommend Beast (made cheaply), and I think Meteor wasn't also the most solid. Everything (except Asia and Vulcan, don't know about those) are fine, but a lot of those are outdated too. But if you don't care about accuracy, then I guess 1.0s are fine.
If you're going to get Kuuga or Agito, buy the SHFSS Agito Ground form. He can be found pretty cheap, but you might have to pay a little more than $25.

I'm thinking about picking up the CSM edition of the W driver off Mandarake. How big of a difference can there be between "open and unused" and "opened and used?" I'm not opposed to paying the $40 difference but I want to weigh my options first.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>5463385 There's really no way to know significant differences unless they think it's necessary to show it. I've gotten figures that obviously didn't feel mint but were in fine condition. If it's the Fukuoka branch, I've noticed that their toys seem to be cheaper. Although they took forever to get my orders together and ship them.
Capsule toys are hardly ever sold again. Just deal with it or wait for the price to drop much later from now. It is a 1/20 ratio.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>5463385 If it's Mandarake, then probably negligible difference. Open and unused means it probably was just inspected to see if everything is there, open and used means it was probably turned on during inspection.

Is Mandarake a good place to buy things from? The English version of the site is (understandably) iffy, and it's making me uncertain a bit. How bad, generally, do the shipping costs offset the low price on some of the items? I know that depends on how much you order and where you live, but anything in general would be nice to know.
Anonymous
>>5464723 Mandarake is very reputable. For questions like this, you can just Google this shit yourself instead of asking anyone.
Shipping costs are about average as anywhere else (maybe just a tiny bit higher), but keep in mind that there's no option for unregistered SAL anymore. Some stores also offer DHL shipping services (not sure if this applies to all stores nowadays, as I don't use it)
Before you order, make sure you go through their FAQ and understand how ordering works.

Also does the Necrom Eyecon have a power switch or would I need to hold on to the plastic bit to keep the batteries apart?

Otherwise you're usually paying around the same or a tiny bit more than at other stores, and their shipping is a teensy bit more expensive. They also don't have the sales other stores tend to have on even brand new items released that week, however they make up for it by having some pretty great customer service. You can see them package your stuff, and you get a personalized "Thank you" from them included in your box sometimes packed with goodies like a Ganbaride card(An actual one) and I recall hearing of people getting a Ramune candy thrown in as well.
The owner of the site also has a podcast where he shows off the new stuff they got in stock.
