    What is it you're worried about? In general, I'd always feel safer (pre-)ordering from Japan since it's hard to trust anyone but the manufacturer or companies that directly pre-order from them (unless, of course, the same goes for your British supplier, wide term, probably generalizinga bit too much, sorry in advance), especially when it comes to figures.

    Do you collect Doujinshi? I like that!

    To post something relevant, package with Gintama opening/ending singles just arrived. Ordered them before Christmas and was rather worried that they had arrived between Christmas and New Year, left in the entrance area by a demotivated mailman, only to be stolen by pretty much anyone from the outside or inside (happened two years ago with Doujinshi). Next time, I'll pay more attention to notes along the lines of "available within 5 to 7 days" when ordering something without a Tracking Number.

    I don't go out of my way to collect, but I usually end up buying some whenever I go to a con. I have some other good quality ones as well... I should probably take a picture of the 24 I have. One of my friends however does avidly collect them, he probably has over a thousand dollars worth now. (Inflated US price of course, though)

    Ah, I see, I see, sounds like someone I could get along with. I'm a dedicated collector myself, so I'm always more than happy to meet other people who maintain bigger and smaller collections; if you have anything you want to post, please go ahead!

    And last but not least: Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, and Urotsukidoji: New Saga came in. Time to take a break buying and watch all this shit.

    Just ordered Vol. 1-3 of Attack on Titan; seems as good a place to post the sale as any.

    Put all figures back into their boxes since I'll be moving at the end of the month and figured I might as well take a photo. Last year's figures, I still think it's funny that I thought I wasn't the type for figures, then made a 180° turn when one figure was released in January last year that I just had to have.

    But that's /a/ man. A hive of awful threads about waifus, best girls, and bad tastes in everything.

    Although I guess that's modern /m/ now too..

    Anyway, bought one of these: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN958424/Gun

    Gonna repaint it green.. maybe I'll have a chance to get it signed by Tomino or someone like Okawara by next year.

    There's a lot of mods people have done to these.

    I've never really had problems with SAL. As long as it's registered, everything's fine. Takes a little longer, but 1 month is the exception, 1 1/2 - 3 weeks being the usual delivery time, which is okay if I consider that there's usually not much to be gained from having an item 1 or 2 weeks faster, especially if the waiting allows me to save money.

    Edit: Which reminds me, finally got to rip and scan the covers of my recent orders.

    Akihabara is evil. I keep spending too much money each time I go there, even though I vowed to spend less or not spend any at all. When I'm back in the states next week I'm taking a picture of all the shit I bought.

    Besides the lots of tankoubons and manga volumes... well... let me put it this way: There were one and two dollar bins. And a buy five get one free deal.

    Meh the diffrence between SAL and EMS is about 4 dollars from what I usually experience. And EMS is usually delivered in days not weeks.

    Like I ordered this Thrusday and I got it today.

    4 dollars? That would depend on the weight and size, I suppose, but 4 dollars are still 4 dollars, that's ~1/2 or more of some Doujinshi!

    Of course, it all boils down to preferences, and I can absolutely understand why you wouldn't want to wait, but it's also worth mentioning that, at least in Germany, SAL packages are much more likely to make it through the customs without having customs fees incurred. Not to mention, it saves me a trip to the customs office (not that I'm not popular there already, nice guys, really).

    Got to mention, though, that Nendoroid is awfully cute!

    Yeah nothing makes you love America like looking at customs fees in other countries.
