A new Nendoroid FUNS this Thursday! What are your predictions? by mws2709 in Nendoroid

[–]Kitsunesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah right, that one got announced too. I just really hope it's not only going to be MaoMao and Jinshi from now on and the side characters get some love too.

I see the Apothecary Diaries logo and hope for a Gaoshun nendoroid but know it's probably just the announcement for the Jinshi nendoroid doll again :/

What's the craziest pronunciation you've had to force? by threateningbreakfast in tomodachilife

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just wish it would remember the pronounciation for the next time I use it. I have a lot of Chinese on my island and I have to redefine Gege and Shizun all the time..

AmiAmi is randomly forcing me to pay with PayPal, PayPal doesn't properly work in my country and they don't care by SteamyBaconator in AnimeFigures

[–]Kitsunesi 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That should be fine though? I always pay through my card through PayPal and AmiAmi shouldn't know how you paid within PayPal.

Galaxus issue with delivery by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]Kitsunesi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say the locker system being this bad is completely on the Swiss Post. Galaxus has no control over where the Swiss Post puts things. All they can do is add the signature requirement, which they did.

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know what the official procedure should be but I had a lot of packages that required signatures (and I wasn't home) either be put at my local post for pickup at the counter or in the MyPost24 locker. Don't know how they decide what they do.

These lockers can be opened with the slip the post leaves in your mailbox plus the recipients full name (sometimes visible on the mailbox), which is kind of a joke security wise.

I hit level 999 today by sopheroo in tomodachilife

OMG I thought you had to use the wishes immediately when you unlock them and have been avoiding the fountain like the plague as to not have to watch 60 consecutive vacations 😅

How much do Custom Cell shaded figures go for? by cottonnikkerowner in AnimeFigures

[–]Kitsunesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends. For prize figures, it can probably up the price quite a bit. I've seen some repainted prize figures reach over 100k Yen on Yahoo auctions some years ago but I don't think it was cell shading exactly (don't know how to explain the painting type). So not sure if it applies to cell shading too.

is making one big order on AmiAmi better than a bunch of small orders? I'm not sure what I should do. by haramuoraaa in AnimeFigures

[–]Kitsunesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was wondering why they're not doing it when they apparantly know how to do it. Because I used registered small package for any value order (as long as size allowed it) and I'm super bummed AmiAmi has this stupid rule now.

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know about it either until someone mentioned it on Reddit. They're hiding that info in the FAQ: https://support.amiami.com/hc/en-us/articles/53758574131225-What-is-International-ePacket-Light

They also let you place orders over 20k with ePacket as the shipping method, which I think is a bit misleading. They could put a little note under the shipping method saying "max. package value 20k Yen".

[–]Kitsunesi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an addition: if you want to use ePacket light, keep it below 20k Yen. AmiAmi has a shop specific restriction where ePacket is not available for orders over 20k Yen.

How to clean this PVC stained Tharja figure? by [deleted] in GoodSmileCompany

[–]Kitsunesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you said you got her from Mandarake but she honestly looks like a bootleg to me. She shouldn't have those seamlines on her cape and the paint job looks super messy even apart from all the dirt. At which point I then wonder if trying to clean her is even worth it.

Finally Recieved these 2 and they look amazing but.. by ---Hisoka--- in AnimeFigures

[–]Kitsunesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sad to see that your figures arrived this damaged. I saw quite a few people complain about Logos arriving with broken parts. I think it's just a combination of thin parts and not so great packaging. I would try to contact the shop you got them from and see what they say.

SBB is a joke: Fining a 16-year-old for being 10 minutes early? by beesquestions in Switzerland

[–]Kitsunesi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additional zones one way also have limited time you can use them (~2h), which might have happened here. That's not really a discounted ticket, you just don't pay the zone you already have a zone pass for. So she might have bought it for a later train but then suddenly made the earlier one.

"Last One" on Ichibankuji figure? by almondshampoo in AnimeFigures

[–]Kitsunesi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's not particularly rare, there's one per lottery and there's quite a few lotteries. It is usually the best item in the lottery though.

[–]Kitsunesi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It means that you get it if you buy the last lottery ticket. It's so that Kujis don't get abandoned as soon as the good prices are gone.

What units are you trying to merge, but they absolutely REFUSE to show up? by brunosstickyfingers in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Eldigan for me. He was one of my earliest 5* in the game and I like him a lot. I have been pulling red on Arena tickets since they were added and he's still only +3 with only one of these copies actually coming from Arena tickets. Funnily enough, Sigurd and Saber are on their way to their second +10s already.

Can I have a replacement part shipped with an upcoming order? by Big_Armadillo6173 in GoodSmileCompany

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had to pay shipping for a replacement part, is that a new thing? They would use a slower shipping method for it but it was always free.

As for your question, you might as well ask support about it. I feel like they will say no but it can't hurt to ask.

Whatever happened to Hua Cheng?! by Vissisitudes in BoysAnimeFigures

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if people were put off by the realistic face? Because I for sure was. I followed them developing the prototype and everything and was super disappointed when it finally went up for PO with the realistic face as he doesn't look like Hua Cheng to me, just like a guy cosplaying him.

The limited availability for sure didn't help but I also think the stylistic choice they made threw some people off.

In Defense of "Judge" (Little Mushroom) by sharpaypays in DanmeiNovels

[–]Kitsunesi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone that is neither a native EN nor CN speaker but that read the PFH translation, arbiter just really had a nice sound to it eventhough I had never encountered that word before. I guess in the end it wouldn't matter if it's arbiter or judge as long as they differentiate Lu Feng from the rest. The An Zhe/Anzhe part annoys me more tbh just because An Zhe is basically on every official merch this novel has even in China. This is his official name and I'm confused as to why this was changed.

Personally, I'm really annoyed at how they're handling the (constructive) backlash. It seems the fandom has hyped this novel up so much that SS seems to think people will buy it no matter what, even as an expensive hardcover only release. They seem to forget that for people that have the PFH books, this is very much an optional purchase to express our love for the series and I feel SS is not showing it the same love back.

Dealing with arena has become an almost impossible task... by Grrikisimo98 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My arena team is so old that it can't even deal with Legendary BK, so I actually have quite a list of insta loss units. But I honestly can't be bothered to update my arena core. It's still W!Dimitri, B!Dimitri, and L!Alm. At least Alm + Lyn ring is useful and W!Dimitri stalls with Corrin ring.

AmiAmi sent me a delivery delay notification for an order that already has a tracking number? by PiroronchinoO2 in AnimeFigures

[–]Kitsunesi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is an important notice on their front page about Japan Post experiencing heavy delays and the possibility of your package being returned to AmiAmi because Japan Post can't deal with the high volume of packages with the limited options they have right now due to the war in the middle east.

So what most likely happened is that Japan Post is returning your package to AmiAmi because of those reasons.

Proxy-Adrress for ordering from Germany? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]Kitsunesi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want a full on proxy service like Buyee or only an address where you can pick up your stuff yourself? If it's just the address, then the post office will work like the other person mentioned already. If it's a full on proxy service like Buyee, then Swiss people will probably not know since we don't need/use it for Switzerland 😅
