>>5897362>Some Japanese toylines are brought in for near their yen MSRP without shipping.Do tell because I haven't found any yet. The closest are Goodsmile stuff but that's mainly because of the yen's crazy climb this year. Right now Preorder prices are about on par with hlj's tiny discount + shipping.
Bandai prices are insane right now.
>>5898057The 90's to early 2k were the rush, bro. We had new toy shops popping up everywhere, spawn, toybiz and star wars were abundantly available (tho a bit pricey and scalpable) and ebay was still a viable place to hawk stuff.
Japanese toys were incredibly hard to get though. I remember having to hide money orders in paper envelops to shop on YJA.
>>5898208Ah, gotcha. From what I know of Oz, there might be some stuff you might see as deals.
Apart from what has been suggested, you may want to lookout for warehouse or Takashimaya sales. That's when wholesalers clear their stuff and there can be good deals on Bandai and Koto to be found.
Too bad you're not coming in Nov. AFA is at the end of the month and you get deals there too.
If you want to, come join my facebook group 'Ani-things 2. 0' for anime figures. I post local SG deals and figure news there.
