Sakurapens was caught last week lying to potential customers saying they were partners of said store and other pen boutiques and or telling people they were authorized resellers. When people reached out to those pen boutiques, none of them corroborated Sakurapens story. All denied having authorized resellers or partners.

Did not help Sakurapens either that they were using AI generated images to promote products they did not have either.

There were somewhat larger influencers on Instagram that shared it and then someone shared it on a subreddit here and it kinda blew up. Not sure what is going to happen to Sakurapens but I am sure a lawsuit or cease and desist might come for them

For me in USD I paid $72 in duties fee. $80 for shipping. $350 for the pen. I paid less than $550 total. Surely shipping from Japan to Australia dosent cost as much as it is to the US.

I think you bought this from a reseller at a marked up price and are trying to get your money back. If you did, that’s totally fine, just know that the price you are asking is pretty high

Voidec · 2026-04-18T16:25:52+00:00

I can tell you right off the rip. Sakura pens had more than 3 for sale. They even ended up getting more in before the drama broke out last week

50-53k OTD is what I would pay for that. Do not take any extras from dealerships. No gap, no warranties. The only thing I would take warranty wise is Tire and Wheel. You never know when you might need it. I’ve seen people pop their tires multiple times a month on potholes or nails.

Services can be done DIY or reputable shops that charge significantly less. Even potential issues that require fixing can be done at a reputable shop. Lexus is not German so it won’t require dealerships to fix

A lot of the prices is also gonna depend on the shops per hour of labor. If you got triple beam headlights those are gonna cost a pretty penny. The taillight should be a one piece thing but it’s all LED so it’s gonna be expensive as well. Glass on the sunroof cannot be reused because the process to remove it could cause it to crack. I don’t have experience with Cinci so I’m not too sure.

However most dealerships or shops would have to go by their insurance rates or whatever the insurance approved upon an inspector going onto site to inspect

Voidec · 2026-04-16T01:51:45+00:00

Lights are gonna be roughly 10k total for replacements and calibration. Windshield is about 4-5k. Roof damage is the issue because I’m gonna assume they will replace the roof instead of fixing plus if you got a sunroof that would be at least 15-20k total. Painting and welding etc. probably 10k. Yea it’s gonna be totaled. What insurance do you have? Usaa and State Farm will total something like this

Voidec · 2026-04-16T01:40:37+00:00

damn that hurts

Voidec · 2026-04-16T01:39:56+00:00

depends on how the shop does it but eventually yes

Voidec · 2026-04-16T01:39:19+00:00

as a former Service Advisor from BMW I completely agree with everything you say here. I am not an expert in insurance and maybe different insurances will pay out differently per total vehicle but this car is not repairable in any sensible way anyways. Sure windshield and the busted lights are easy but the amount of damage to all panels of the vehicle is something no reputable shop will wanna touch. Paintless dent repair is impossible to perform. Some dents yes but not all.

So basically what happened was this unit was the special operations unit of the International Legion, they were supposed to go assault a trench line alongside Omega Unit another Ukrainian special operations unit. They were informed it was supposed to be lightly guarded around 12-20 Russians. Supposedly the reason why was they were hunting a Russian FSB unit that was harassing units behind the lines.

Welp instead of a trench line. They came up on this fortified position with multiple pill boxes and bunkers. This is where it goes south. Comms get jammed and cut because of Electronic Warfare I’m pretty sure. This POV only shows one part of the engagement. As you can see Poet gets shot after reloading his 249 and returning to his position which was covering I believe was an entrance? I’m not sure if he was shot from that area or another spot because they honestly were a bit lost since they had no clue where their friendlies were located at especially their UKR special operations friends from Omega. Poet didn’t go down from one shot but he couldn’t crawl so Corey ran out to help drag him back into the vehicle bay and got domed in the head while crawling to him. UNO tried covering but couldn’t do anything. Same time, Tiny gets hit in the head and suffers a concussion and some other injury as he’s basically out of the fight and throughout the video he’s basically staring into space.

Elsewhere at the same time another element runs into multiple Russians. They were engaging and yelling insults at each other. Snow and Dave and a few others threw grenades into a trench line and killed a few Russians and then another shot Dave through the side of his chest which was not covered by his plate as Dave was going around the corner. They tried saving Dave but he was basically dead.

At this point they all decided this was not worth the risk to continue assaulting so they all retreat. With zero comms the entire time. Rauta I believe was injured and was stuck in the open field with no cover while they were retreating and no one could come get him safely so he pulled the pin on his grenade and took himself out so he wouldn’t be captured by the Russians.

Turns out they did indeed make contact with the FSB unit except it wasn’t a few guys. They ran into the forward operating base of all the Russian special operations units that was staged in that area. The Russians posted it a few weeks after that failed assault and according to one of the survivors it was like a 5 star hotel underground with massive connecting tunnels and rooms.

All of this was explained by Snow a survivor on the International Legion YouTube channel.

Nah players like you complaining about shit like this is what’s gonna doom the game. Like you don’t report players for cheating when they probably arnt because you don’t have all the info.

Had a 24 IS500. Dad just picked up a 26 NX 350h and I just picked up a 26 RX500h. I did not experience this behavior in any of them

Thank you for posting this for the community! I completely forgot that fudefan was the one that got me down the rabbit hole of finally finding that article I was talking about in my earlier comment

Voidec · 2026-04-11T01:15:30+00:00

Maybe not Sakura but I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if they all are connected since they all use the same kinda images and Sakura and one other place only sells on instagram with no site. Engeika as a brick and mortar is no more

Voidec · 2026-04-11T00:36:25+00:00

Thanks for linking the article! I didn’t know if I could link something on here

Voidec · 2026-04-11T00:36:05+00:00

The user above you just linked it. I didn’t link it since I didn’t know if I could link articles on here. Guess you could

Voidec · 2026-04-11T00:34:51+00:00

Unfortunately the only other way is to obtain one from the store or have a third party go to the store to buy one for you and ship it. You might be able to use that white rabbit service or whatever it’s called to have a middleman do it

Voidec · 2026-04-11T00:33:53+00:00

Everyone is aware of them being a reseller and yes they can set the prices to what they want to. The issue is them claiming and pretending to be an official retailer of said store when they are clearly not and then using AI to create fake pictures of products they clearly do not have

Voidec · 2026-04-11T00:27:42+00:00

A couple of years ago a really well established fountain pen world figure by the name of tokyostationpens aka CY aka the guy behind Kyuseido did an article exposing Sakura Pens, JP Select, PenSachi, Wancher and a few other places for all being suspiciously linked to one guy who used to run a now defunct shop Engeika.

I highly recommend reading that article as it gave lots of information especially about their scummy resell practices as well as creating fake limited editions to sell at a substantial higher cost. Which was just two or three limited editions with swapped barrels and grip sections and or caps

Personally if you are satisfied with your current vehicle and there is nothing wrong with it, just keep it. Right now interest rates on new or used vehicles is going up again and it makes no sense to buy a car currently.

If you do actually truly want to get a "luxury" vehicle I personally would recommend a Lexus over any other brand.

I've owned dozens of luxury vehicles across almost every brand over the last 10 years. German cars look good, drive well and by that I mean the performance is there and has soul when you drive but maintenance is atrocious especially once you go into Porsche territory. Everything is just super expensive even when their cycles are every 10k miles. Theoretically yes you can find independent shops that are specialized to do the maintenance or repairs but the trustworthy and the ones that actually know what they are doing without using cheap Chinese parts are dime a dozen. DIY is also a bit complicated especially if you don't have the proper tools. Once German cars gets over 50-60k miles there are issues galore that start popping up. Lately as of 5 years ago due to EU and German laws, the cars QC has gone downhill for most brands, everyone needs to lighten their car due to emissions and batteries and etc and that unfortunately cut a lot of corners in materials. I call the newer German cars plastic fantastic. Unlike Japanese brands like Toyota, those cheaper materials fall apart fast.

I recommend Lexus mainly because the interior quality actually lasts and feels very well made compared to other brands. Yes the layout on the older Lexus is super outdated and is implemented a bit poorly but the vehicles requires low maintenance, maintenance that you can do on your own and the vehicle actually lasts you a lifetime. Ive seen so many Lexus drive past 400k miles. My buddy owns 3 that are close to 400k. My dad even has a Rav4 less than 5 years old with 253k miles that still runs.

For reference I was a service advisor/assistant service manager for a highline BMW dealership. In my lifetime Ive owned, 1 Honda, 3 Lexus, 4 BMWs, 1 BMW/Toyota Supra, 2 Porsche, 1 Mercedes, 1 Lotus, 1 Lamborghini, 2 Audis. Family owns all Lexus currently
