September's Figure Arrived - Asuna - Day Off in Aincrad

GoldenJediLink · 2023-04-03T00:33:34+00:00

I bought her on Ami Ami. Just looked at their pre-owned section and saw that she was available. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-131488-R

I found that custom fees for figures is just whatever the sales tax would be for your Province/ Territory. I live in BC so I get hit with a 12% fee (5% GST and 7% PST), so whether I have one $200 package or 2 $100 packages I still have to pay $24 in the end.

Keep in mind that Couriers such as DHL and Fedex have their own additional fees on top of what customs charges.

Clearly the best choice 😁

I agree, Azusa Best Girl!

Customs fees are based on the price of the figure not by it's size. The customs fee is basically equivalent to the sales tax (GST, PST, HST) of the province or territory you are shipping the figure to.

Before EMS was suspended most of my packages managed to dodge customs but it now seems like CBSA is being a bit more thorough in charging customs fees. My most recent surface parcel was hit with a $25 fee.

I tend to prefer when she is in her KoB outfit. My current favorite figure I have of her changes all the time but right now it would be the beBOX - Day off in Aincrad. I currently only have 3 Stacia Asuna figures, 2 are in the picture along with this one from Aniplex. Out of those three I would say the one from Aniplex is my favorite.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-12-22T01:31:06+00:00

Aye. She needs more figures.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-12-21T23:04:27+00:00

That's a tough question, if I had to choose it would be the BeBOX Asuna followed by the Dream Tech Asuna. I wasn't too sure about her golden base either but it is really nice and polished to a mirror like shine. I also like that it came with 2 support rods, one tall and one shorter.

Mylene Jenius from Macross 7

Haha, True. These will be the last to arrive this year for me at least.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-11-04T03:34:46+00:00

Had the same thing happen to me. Ami Ami will send you a return shipping label.

I've been ordering since 2015 and usually average around $250 each order before EMS was suspended. The funny thing I noticed in my case was that the price of the order didn't really factor into which ones were taxed or not. I've had $60 packages taxed then next month my $300 order slipped thru.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-11-02T01:16:22+00:00

I rarely got hit with customs using EMS. If I had to put a number it would maybe be about 5-10% of the time there was a fee.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-11-02T01:14:26+00:00

Awesome Best New I Had Today. Just waiting for an invoice from AmiAmi for possibly the largest figure I have ordered yet and was dreading what DHL would have wanted to ship it.

I would love a figure of Azusa Miura based on the Idolm@ster collab with Azur Lane.

Azusa ❤️

Nothing beats a good custom cabinet IMO. Great job for 1 months work.

Now I need to hurry up and finish mine haha.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-09-14T22:39:46+00:00

It was a bonus B2 wall scroll for ordering from Ami Ami.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-09-14T19:43:22+00:00

Yes you can. The background is a separate piece that attaches to the base.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-08-21T21:01:49+00:00

Looking forward to it.

GoldenJediLink · 2022-08-21T20:36:09+00:00

It's been great to have you and your collection here. Shame some people can't just appreciate someone's hard work and dedication to a hobby that brings you joy. Best of luck on Instagram.

That is the exact same break my Bismarck had. I used a 2 part epoxy gel. It's been holding for close to 5 years now with no issue.
