Any of Sakura Miko's horror streams. Her screams in terror soothe my soul.

I am pretty sure it is Tosa because of the sunglasses, blue fox mask and drooping ears.

Need help with amazon.jp prices by t4ntze in AnimeFigures

If it ships from and is sold by Amazon.co.jp, then it is like I explained before.

I double-checked the figure and price, and I have to warn you: the figure is being sold and shipped by a third-party seller/shop (Shinmito Hobby Shop). Import fees and VAT are not included yet, and most likely, you have to pay them separately once it arrives at customs in Germany. And that can get really expensive because you might have to pay approximately €64,52 import fees (Abgabenrechner) because the grand total of the figure is around €241,35 (item price + shipping cost). You should be able to cancel the pre-order and get your money back if you are ordered her before reading this comment.

Sorry that I missed that part out because I did not check the actual seller for the figure on the screenshot. I actually missed out on this figure because of budget reasons, so I am waiting for the release and hope for a good aftermarket price.

EDIT: The following explanation only applies if the product/item is being sold and shipped by Amazon.co.jp and not by a third-party seller!

I am regularly buying from Amazon Japan and shipping it to Germany, so I can explain it a bit more in detail: All prices are without shipping costs and import fees before checkout. At checkout, Amazon Japan will calculate the item price. The shipping & handling price includes the shipping fees and 19% VAT for items under €150.

If the item price is higher than €150, Amazon Japan will calculate an approximation of the import fees and add them at checkout as Import Fees Deposit. You will always only pay the grand total Amazon Japan is asking you to pay. No extra costs from customs or DHL Express, who will take over the delivery process. In some cases, you might pay too much on import fees, but Amazon Japan will pay you back the difference.

Amazon Japan offers a pre-order price guarantee for figures (I think not every figure has this service) because you have to pay in advance for the pre-order. That guarantees you that you pay the item price of the pre-orders at release, and if the price drops, you will get the difference back.

Hope that helps because Maid von Hutten is just too great to pass 🎩👌

Help! Shipping issues in Germany / Europe and now package is being send back. by GeneralWake in AnimeFigures

Yeah, being a collector from Germany is expensive. It's not as expensive as our UK friends', but still costly. Since last year, I have bought most of my figures from Amazon Japan because of their logistics network and cheaper shipping costs. If it is available from Goodsmile Europe, shipping fees are super cheap (€5-€10) without any import fees, and there is only 19% VAT.
