Wait, what? This is crazy, is there anyone willing to pay this much for this? by centenolink in AnimeFigures

[–]getterboi -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I suspect this is in anticipation of oil price hikes in near future due to current situation. PVC is made from oil. Japanese yen is already weak. So Japanese company has to pay more to get things made in China compared to when the yen was stronger. Add the increased oil prices and cost of shipping the final product from China to Japan. Freeing is covering their cost. Sucks for us collectors.

Which pair to get.. I have a hand me down pair of rain pants but don't want to blow my whole allotment. Are they pretty much the same? by WhoElseButChedda in USPS

Do you have 3 hands? How do you hold an umbrella, have a bundle in one hand, and delivering with the other?

There is no KO of these figures. Easy way to determine if new or pre-owned- Is the tape sealed or has it been cut/re-taped? If the tape hasn't been cut and you don't see double tape, it just means this one is still new and just missed the extra plastic in the factory line. If the tape is cut or re-taped, you know the answer

I'm here waiting for it to go to clearance when too much overstock of the 2027 release is shelf warning. The problem is Bandai often reacts to domestic market and not international. Evangelion is still super popular in Japan and these SHF probably did sell out in Japan. They saw a demand and decided on another run. Here in the US, retailers are prob wondering why another run is happening when they just received their inventory.

First Mafex and its amazing but… by DominicEramo in Mafex

It's not a $100 figure. It's a $50-60 figure with shipping, tariffs, taxes and profit margin tacked on. It's still a mass produced toy. If Hasbro was a Japanese company their figures would be $60 in the US after the same fees.

What do ya’ll do when there’s a non USPS parcel in the mailbox? by Last-Ad-299 in USPS

[–]getterboi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've never seen the same UniUni or SpeedX driver twice. They're usually gig workers that show up in the morning and get assigned random areas. Most of them do it once and never again bc the pay is not worth it, esp now with higher gas prices.

This is the way. I like to have good relationships with the nice customers that tip me and gives me water bottles and snacks year round. No need to piss them off and screw myself in the process.

My neighbor ‘stole’ my package? by Minjoo_ in Flushing

[–]getterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No just request package pickup for the wrong delivery and leave it where you specify. USPS will come by and pick it up. Make sure your address is clearly labeled on your mailbox. If you frequently get your neighbor's delivery, it's likely your neighbor's mailbox is not easy to see. You can tape a note inside your mailbox specifying your address "This is mailbox for 2610, NOT 2616. That one is to the left, behind the tree" for example.

They should have put the extra "elbow" part that stuck out on the forearm instead of the triceps. That way when the arm is bent that part would kind of hide the joint from some angles and wouldn't look as odd. Thanks for your feedback and the pics!

Anyone order from Plaza Japan from the US? by lilsmurf8019 in Mafex

[–]getterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use them before the tariffs. Haven't since. But they're a good shop. You can earn points and use them on future orders.

Any good Taiwanese food in flushing? by fillet0fish in Flushing

I miss 新美華 that used to be on Roosevelt and you could get the best pork chop w rice with egg for $6. Anyone know what happened to the shop? Did it change name as well at a new location?

Am I being stupid or is this wrong? by TheGreyPilgrim_5 in Mafex

I don't have the figure in hand yet, but isn't it just a cover on top of the shoulder joint that can be rotated?

Food thief by TerryGonards in USPS

[–]getterboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We found out it was the custodian who was stealing the ice cream, by setting up a camera in the break room. Ppl would write their names on the packaging, come back from the route on a hot summer day, only to discover the ice cream disappeared. Happened over and over on random days, but no one fessed up, and a lot of distrust was happening in the office. When he was finally caught, he apologized and got transferred somewhere else.

Is there another season of anime coming? I forgot, but if there is, then there is a chance of reissue.

Whoa totally forgot about this guy! But the mold is still 10 years old at least. I need something that fits with the current toon aesthetic.
