I really hate how they pack their stuff, its a total crap shoot whether you get a mint box or not.
hal9000 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Yes it is. Im not super concerned about box condition as long as the product is perfect. I can live with a 1/4 debt in to corner or a scuff. I like how well they Tetris the boxes and fill the empty space with bubbles to prevent movement. Also they use a reasonably high grade of cardboard box, I have never had one crushed. But I have shipped single Valkyres and their packaging was different for them, They were shrink wrap to a piece of cardboard and placed in an oversized box lots of crushed room, valkyrie boxes were in very good shape.

Problem i have is that i ship large PW and when a hole is punched on the side of the box most of it transfers to the items inside. Ive transferred most of my expensive items over to Amiami. Figuarts i can do but SOCs, Riobots, or Macross i moved to Amiami.
no3Ljm Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Best packaging box: AmiAmi & Nippon-Yasan. Theirs thickier than HLJ's.

Chronocidal Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 I kind of wish I'd picked up more Roys in the off white, but I just don't have room to stack that many more. I did grab one spare, but I wound up kitbashing him with a Max 1A to get a Max 1S, and now I've got spare parts for a Roy 1A.

They gave you a form to check off which one you wanted and how many but that was it. My advice is get there as early as you can. I got there by 8:40 (opened at 9) and there were already a good 200 people in line. I didnt get to the table until about 10:30 and Goku was sold out by 11:00. So if it opens at 9 as well then try to be there by 6:30-7. Yes the had a separate table for regular release stuff. No metal builds. Only figuarts, monsterarts, and sould of chogokin. No myth cloth since that isnt too big of a market in the US but im pretty sure in Mexico they will have all that stuff. One thing though is that their stuff at the regular booth was full price plus tax. So it wasnt a really good idea to buy stuff from them. SOC Voltron was $350 Plus tax and Megazord $325 plus tax Well, here in Mexico they ended up selling a cupon that gives you the rights to buy the exclusives figures in the day of the event, 2 USD but it saves you the pain of gettin to early to get one And more on topic, finally got my switch, waiting for MK 8 te get here today to try it

Its an interesting approach but im sure these events are much bigger than they are here in the US. Have they done this method of selling tickets for items before? Is getting a ticket like preordering a DX toy from Amiami?

Close as but not enough, I got tickets for the first day to go with my friends and the next day with my girlfriend, along with one Goku and one Athena, the figures ran out around 15 minutes after the starting hour, 2 years ago it was chaos since they used the first come-first served and put a limit of 5 "Mexican" Goku for person some people began the line a day before in the afternoon Edited May 8, 2017 by mog_kupo
