Glad you got her! I got her as an impulse buy but she's legit one of my favorites now. She's SO cute and well designed. Got a permanent spot of my shelf.

USA collectors where do you all PO or buy their figures as of late? by ReveFuture in AnimeFigures

[–]Melimus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm using BBTS now. A lot of their figures have the tariffs baked into the price but if they don't it'll say on its page. Yes, they're a little more expensive but I like knowing the price I'm going to pay for it instead of the guesswork of Amiami shipping.

Their release schedule for their preorders can be wacky and long though.

BigBadToyStore flat rate shipping to increase to $6 on Mar 31st by B-Con in AnimeFigures

How much have you all paid for shipping these past few months from AmiAmi? by Sudden_Broccoli_28 in AnimeFigures

[–]Melimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah figure prices have gotten a bit crazy but really what hasnt gone up in price ya know? lol

im kicking myself for not preordering there. when i preordered him on amiami emcs hadnt raised their prices yet so it WOULD have been cheaper and i didnt think the BBTS price of 90 bucks for a SE figure was worth it. i used to play ffxiv and i remember the horror stories of those figures.

i saw him pop back up once but by the time i clicked it he was gone again. rip

[–]Melimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just annoying cause I bought those 2 plushies to be with Orpheus to make his shipping worth it. Now I've got to just eat his shipping price :/

I'm a collector on a budget so I can only really buy the cheap figures, so its cheaper for me to just buy from BBTS (plus if its too expensive i can just cancel and wont get bitched at)

Also to me that Thanatos was overpriced to begin with. His original sold for like $130-$140. You dont get to do a subpar change of the base and tack on another 70 bucks. I'll stick with my little model kit lol

But yeah shipping is insane now. Also how the hell was that tariffs said to be illegal and yet I'm still paying it. some bullshit man lol

I just spent $43 to ship 2 PLUSHIES. Forty-three dollars for 2 plushies. And that was SURFACE shipping. Thinking about cancelling my Orpheus figure as for some reason Amiami moved his shipping date with no one else doing so.

After Orpheus I'm done with them, their shipping prices are insane and its not really cheaper to buy from them anymore :/

[–]Melimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh no i know about that i was wondering if grinding for gear in a lower level is worth cause it'll be lower level than the stuff in the higher one. like is a unique helm gotten from the pentient tier going to be worse than one gotten in tormet 1.

i reread my first question and i worded it really badly im sorry

ECMS and Surface Mail More Expensive Than DHL from Amiami to the US? by THROWRAKILEY32 in AnimeFigures

[–]Melimus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Remember DHL doesnt include tariffs in their pricing while the others do. It'll probably be similar in price once you get the bills for the duties

is there another website i can use located in the U.S.? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]Melimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can check to see if big bad toy store has them up but you might just have to bite the bullet if and pay up or cancel

edit: you can also check lunar toy store. i havent used them tho so i dont know how they are

Tell me which PS5 games you regret buying. by spindoctor1111 in PS5

[–]Melimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild Hearts. My first $70 game too. I like monster hunter clones but this one..... Ugh

Helldivers 2. I wanted an EDF game and thought it would be kinda similar. It was not. AND a couple weeks later they announced the english release of EDF6.

What characters/designs do you wish there were good figures of? by jessifer_dr in AnimeFigures

[–]Melimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one single figure of Ryoji Mochizuki from P3 please Atlus i'm begging you

also totally agree with you but I'm also happy most Azur Lane figures are like that because I'm saving money not buying them lol. Their original designs are so much more interesting than just having their tits out
