MKT Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Nin-nin's pricing is a bit like NY right? They sell some units at a lower price initially, then it progressively goes up.. I've never had anything delivered from Nin-nin before, only a pending HMR VF-0A PO. Hopefully all turns out well. Quote

The only drawback with them is they tend to be a bit later shipping new releases compared to HLJ, but not like Luna Park delays. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Nin Nin switched to prepayment required for me lol (no pay later) Quote

gabuyan Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Managed to get 1 at nin-nin, mission accomplished. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Also was able to get 1 at njnnin. Shipping was pricey. I will try to pick up extras from the WWM retailers within the US. Quote
Negotiator Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 got one at nin nin. total ¥46,940... ouch. Quote

Arakure Knight Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 (edited) ¥43,889 for me shipped (literally) to Australia. I can wait for sea mail however the upside to ordering from Nin-nin is that they don't charge additional 10% GST tax unlike HLJ and Ami Ami so I've done good to get it at the cheapest price possible. Hesitated at HLJ and was cartjacked but no hesitation on this one. My wallet's empty again Edited January 10, 2024 by Arakure Knight grammar Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 (edited) Well color me sheepish. I got one for 48,776 ($340) from Luna park lol I should have just gone back to sleep *yikes* Edited January 10, 2024 by spacemanoeuvres Monies Quote
Actar Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 (edited) Well, completely got the time wrong by an hour... Missed HLJ and AJP, and I don't like paying for preorders so early in advance. AmiAmi's my only hope... Edited January 10, 2024 by Actar Quote

MKT Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 The good thing about Amiami's current PO times and method, is that they parcel it out in lots. The PO will re-open every 10 minutes or so in that hour's duration. So check back often.

So spendy 🤑 Expand I logged in yesterday out of the blue and noticed this PO, but I am traveling and in the Asia time zone not my normal US time zone, so was confused and forgot to check just now. I will wait for WW release or get one via proxy on Japan release day. I have done that for a few missed PO and it went well. So no big problem. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Snagged one at HLJ right at 4pm Japan Time, but their site was definitely straining under the increased load. Figured I would get cartjacked, but somehow made it through. As others noted, HLJ sold out in less than a minute. I was watching AE at the same time and they sold out in about two minutes. That's very unusual. There's usually still some units available the morning after PO Madness because they now charge the Japanese-tax-included price (even to overseas customers) and want payment up front. I gave up on AJ a while back. I think it's been overrun by shopping bots, so they sell out instantly, plus they don't pack things properly for international shipping. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Yeah I regret the FOMO purchase at Luna Park. I was delirious and disappointed when I got cart jacked at yoya; an expensive combination 💰 😂 Quote
dragontype Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Just came back up at Kurama but they increased the price.... is this getting more common with the price creep? https://kuramatoys.com/dx-chogokin-yf-21-guld-goa-bowman-use-action-figure/ Quote
Alphahorizon Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 So weird. When this threat started I was super excited. Fast forward a few years and responsibilities have changed dramatically. That and I slept through the PO again. 30.00 jump from a few hours ago at Kura seems a little steep. Now it makes me wonder how much any American retailer is going to start the price at. Quote
