    I like that picture of Homura on the right.

    I-I think I see it!

    On somewhat related topic. I am so close to accumulating 10,000 points from Hobby Search. I could sure use it for next month's haul.

  2. Do you get anything special for 10,000?

  3. The points serve as credits(yen). And since I have a huge haul for next month, It'll help out alot for shipping which it'll definitely be more than 100 USD.

  4. I wish AmiAmi had points back when I first started buying from them. I've spent several thousand dollars there, not even counting shipping, I'm sure i'd have a few free figures coming to me by now.

  5. AmiAmi charges more for shipping supposedly even if their figures are a bit low compared to HobbySearch. I found it beneficial going with HobbySearch(thanks to Deth), I really liked their points system and there were rare times I paid nothing for some orders. :3

  6. The main reason I used AmiAmi was that they had SAL registered shipping.

  7. What's the average shipping price difference between AmiAmi and HobbySearch for just a single figure?

  8. Actually, going by my old orders, I generally paid a few bucks less than HS by going through AmiAmi for EMS shipping (using comparably sized Figmas for the sample group).

    Rough averages:
    1,500 yen through AmiAmi; 1,800 yen through HobbySearch.

    Then AmiAmi had registered SAL, which I could usually swing for about 1,000 or less, if it was just a single Figma or Nendo (only 6,000 max insurance on registered SAL, so I'd use EMS for more expensive things).

    Seeing as I pay the same shipping as you would if you were to choose the same options, for unregistered SAL small pack:

    AmiAmi, for Nendoroid Petit Set Madoka Box+Another Nendoroid: 1480 yen
    Hobby Search, only the Madoka Nendoroid Set: 1580 yen

    It's being shipped to my house in Denver; I won't even get her until Winter Break.

    Also this isn't something that would make me jealous.

  15. Giascle understands the joy one feels when you receive something amazing that, 3 weeks ago, you didn't even know existed.

    (added later)
    I can't find where I first saw the Hinanawi Tenshi garage kit that the Hobby Japan figure is based on (it must be buried in the forums),
    but,
    I found a nice photo set from someone who build one here (posted 2010/09/21).
    Also a small outdoor photo set for the Hobby Japan figure here.

    Now, if someone would release these two.

    (Just saw a Hobby Japan Tenshi on Ebay for $398 plus $35 shipping).

  16. All right, the package got to my house, I assume safely. Can't know without actually opening it.

  17. Just arrived...finally

    Living in this shithole country is such a pain in the ass...Just because the cover seems a bit inappropriate, there is no need for them to hold the parcel over month!!! and they mess up with the content too, causing the LE box to be dented.

    Muslim and their virtue of no pornography....yet love loli and poligamy...
    how hypocrite
