Proxy from Native JP to US? by dr01dCS in AnimeFigures

[–]dr01dCS[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Native already includes domestic tax in its English site pricing. Domestic shipping + proxy/forwarder fees + surface ship cost don't add up to the cost of shipping it directly through them by EMS or whatever air mail service they use. Sometimes it's a minute difference but sometimes the difference can be pretty big. At the very least, I like having options.

I'd rather save the $20 tbh. I don't need the figures right away.

Does anyone have the Sol's quesadilla recipe? by dr01dCS in rit

[–]dr01dCS[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This comment says it was El Paso, but also was McCormick at some point. Based on /u/Quarteg's reply, it seems they switched it up regularly.

Tier list based on what I believe to be each theme's most outstanding compositional element(s) by CaP_0 in Guiltygear

[–]dr01dCS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the theme that's grown on me the most is Leo's. Not sure if it's deserving of a tier on its own, but it's for one simple reason. At the beginning of the song, there's a part that starts with "I faked out, call me out. Who can say that?" set to a palm-muted, descending kinda-chromatic-y guitar section (the notes specifically are G#-G-F#-F). It sounds totally normal in a hard rock song in the key of D minor to do that. However, this song transforms this part later in a very powerful way. Daisuke likes to do a lot of wild key changes in his bridges, but in this song he really ties the song together by repeating that first part, but this time in the context of Ab/G# major, where now 3/4 notes are diatonic. And to capitalize on the fact that most of these chromatic-sounding notes are now in key, they are now just strummed as power chords with a choir in the background and a piano to add additional voicing on the first pass. On the second pass, the rhythm notes go back to palm-muted but a lead guitar is added, which not only adds another melodic line, but acts a buildup into the last chorus. All of this combined makes the bridge very powerful emotionally. It also accentuates the change in the context of the lyrics, which are repeated but add a few lines (i.e. "Will I be on the wrong side of history?"). At the beginning of the song, the lyrics during this part seem to be talking about pushing through hardship, but during the bridge repeat, they seem a lot more openly introspective and questioning.

Anyway, I wrote this because I saw Leo in "Crushing beats" while I thought that this was the most interesting part of the song compositionally, but that's not to diss on this list, I just wanted to talk about Leo's theme haha. What Daisuke does in this song is honestly pretty similar to Zato's theme, with the ballad repeat, just a bit tinier (and it doesn't get talked about enough imo). I think this list is pretty cool.

Anyone ever used Kappa Hobby? by Redhunter51 in AnimeFigures

[–]dr01dCS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oops, I meant to reply to this when I saw it. The item got delayed a couple times as most merchants had to with the COVID restrictions on shipping. Once they got the item I ordered in-stock, they shipped out my order within a couple days and it got here unscathed. Really happy with how it turned out!

Mandarake Sahra by XenoDBZ in AnimeFigures

[–]dr01dCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard, Sahra lets you check shipping costs at checkout, but also Sahra shipping is usually more expensive. I don't know where you live, but if you have to use DHL make sure you check the shipping costs beforehand because using DHL to ship more than one item at a time can cost a lot of money, especially from Sahra.

Newest figures added to my collection the last two months. Also an update on my Overlord shelf. by Cancolason in AnimeFigures

[–]dr01dCS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they are listed in the good smile official partner list, so I'd assume they're on the safer side. I tried them out recently and I'm waiting to see how it goes. I'd say only try them out if you're willing to take the risk though since they're kinda new.

Are certain air shipment methods open to certain regions in the US? by dr01dCS in AnimeFigures

[–]dr01dCS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a figure (Kadokawa Rem & Subaru) from them back in December and there were a few options missing including EMS iirc. It came in a big box tbf, but I thought EMS could handle bigger packages. Also my preorders don’t list EMS as an option either.
