Yes, customer service if something is wrong is hit-and-miss (mostly miss) but I've never heard of them not delivering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was available at PO time, but by a third party for 42.8k yen and domestic only. Not sure if AJ itself opened their own PO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try to submit more than one form though, they will delete duplicated entries. Also customers who have been regulars for the past year with completed purchases will have priority, though in certain cases(?) New customers will also be considered for the lottery.

Lolicon Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I bought it elsewhere because it's 2022 and it's damn time Amiami got a website that functions better than something from 2002. Lottery for a regular retail item... F U AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqidd Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Looks like your standard PO night. Curious how long it tales to sell the US retailers out. Could be fast due to high demand. Also could be no big deal because scalpers won't be paying the US premium price. It will be interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought maybe... half a dozen? static figures (no toys) from them for a few years now, starting back when they were just an Ebay store without a dedicated website, and they've always done good by me, with responsive customer service. A quick google indicates it's been the same with others as well. There was apparently one incident where a customer thought they received a fake product and it turned out they misunderstood a sticker or something.

technoblue Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Yes, per Kappa's website. Even though the price was tempting, I went with ToyDojo since they have a pay later option on pre-orders. Alas, it comes with the premium late tax on domestic orders but there is free shipping and no sales tax to me.
