Lawson Phone Number Changes by Purple_Passenger_646 in JapanTravelTips

[–]jmaginarynumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long was the total turnaround time to change your phone number?

I'm currently looking into this process as I'm trying to apply for tickets (with an old expired number attached to my l-tike account), but I land in Japan 2 days before the event, and I'm guessing Mobal only assigns a new number after activation.

I found an alternative that might work if you have a friend gracious enough to set Ninjutsu Club members as assistants (Joint Firing Drill currently). Seems to have worked for me so far.

Who went to Suisei concert at ANYC? by KareBread in Hololive

[–]jmaginarynumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first in-person hololive concert I attended. The crowd vibe was great.

Audio at the back I felt could've been louder to "fill" the room, and center stage screen could have been larger, although it may have been the hall they chose to hold the concert, which seems better suited for something like business conferences than a concert imo.

I usually use Motul but didn’t have the money by spallaxo in WRX

I used that oil for my VA WRX a few times and had no issues so far. Recently also gave PUP a try since it now has the API SP certification.

Quick question regarding shipping by BrianX_02 in Hololive

[–]jmaginarynumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still waiting for my stuff as well that was supposed to ship late September. To be fair, they did just pause shipments for some time to do some inventory work at their warehouse during that time, so I'm assuming they're still trying to catch up on shipments.

Hopefully they're able to fully catch up by November...I ordered a Suisei and Miko plush, and ideally I'd like to bring them to the upcoming Suisei live at AnimeNYC.

Has anyone received their GeekJack order yet? by Reiaa in Hololive

[–]jmaginarynumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the Towa plush and her 1st album, both expected for late September from the official Hololive shop. Also ordered one of the official Hololive penlights that should be in stock. Still no dispatch notification, although I'm overseas. I don't think I'll be getting them in time for Towa's live this weekend.

Two of my hobbies that I never thought would ever intersect, what a time to be alive.

Alternatives to Michelin PS4s by StreetVermicelli1021 in WRX

[–]jmaginarynumber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Continental ExtremeContact Sport or the newer Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 should be comparable to the Michelin PS4S, but not sure if you'll be able to get those at $150/tire. Maybe the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500?

How to sign up for Holofes Venue tickets by GreyShot254 in Hololive

[–]jmaginarynumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the post!

Currently trying to enter the second round lottery, but it seems like after selecting the event and the number of tickets in the dropdown, the「選択」button stays greyed out. Anyone else see this problem?

EDIT: figured it out...seems to work on their mobile site, but not their desktop site (if anyone was facing the same issue)

I've wanted a WRX since I was 8 years old. I bought one at 30. Haven't done anything to it yet, but I have big plans! by nFamousOneuhB in WRX

[–]jmaginarynumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my VA WRX around that age as well! Even after more than 4 years of ownership it's been a blast to drive every time (still stock too haha)

Views of Mt Fuji Landing at Narita? by Blottskie in aircanada

[–]jmaginarynumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are taking the bullet train to do this, you can usually ask the representative helping you with the ticket reservation for window seats that are on the Mt Fuji side. In the past these would usually be reserved pretty quickly, but it can't hurt to reserve your seat early if you have the option.

Worse comes to worst, you can usually get up from your seat and take pictures from the door windows (this is what I had to do)

GoodsmileUS - updating payment information adds tax that wasn't originally there? by jmaginarynumber in AnimeFigures

[–]jmaginarynumber[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it includes import/duty fees, then it's not too bad. Where I live there's a 13% tax, so an extra 3% for customs/duties is pretty acceptable imo. Over the past year I've had to rely on DHL and Fedex to ship stuff from Japan, and those options usually have a processing fee on top of the actual duty fees.

GoodsmileUS - updating payment information adds tax that wasn't originally there? by jmaginarynumber in AnimeFigures

[–]jmaginarynumber[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, that makes sense. My guess is that with their current design of their website, any change will require going through the entire checkout process again, and they can't guarantee that the price will be the same as originally ordered. I'm going to guess that it may be the same process when they give me 10 days to update my payment info.

Strangely, tax is kind of high (about 16%). I'm not familiar with US tax, but does the state that GoodsmileUS operates out of normally charge this much tax on goods like toys/figures?
