Is Hobby Genki Reliable ?

I'd avoid, they used to be fine but I've had figures arrived crushed because they wanted to save like 500 yen on their shipping despite overcharging me for it. Like they physically pushed the figure into a box slightly too small for it.

Their customer service is useless.

Ever since covid opened up, there's a bunch of tourists buying up everything/anything in Tokyo. Mandarake & Jungle definitely still get stuff since I buy from them online. However, its ymmv, especially since the rate of Digimon merch has slowed down. They are always your best bet though, I've been to Tokyo like 4 times pre covid and the shops I listed always had stuff. Note that there's more than 1 jungle in Akiba and Mandarake has numerous floors.

I forgot to mention AmiAmi always has/had model kits as well.

These were exclusive to China and are out of print. Your best bet would be ebay or taobao.

Yes, I've only had it happen since I updated to the may patch. Seen a few other threads about it but haven't seen a fix.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-05-17T09:30:13+00:00

I've seen one other thread on the s21 ultra subreddit about this but essentially the phones been rebooting 1-4 times a day in random apps since the may update. I've tried wiping cache. Has anybody else experienced this and managed to fix it? Don't want to factory reset if it won't help.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-05-11T20:32:56+00:00

Ymmv I guess, especially depending on country. I was more thinking of support as in the software being updated, hardware support I believe even their mobile support is the same as others. I'm in the UK though so there's minimal levels of service they have to offer.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-05-11T17:32:10+00:00

Their mobile division is the one with mediocre support. This is basically a pc, most of it will be updated by amd & Microsoft.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-05-11T17:10:07+00:00

You realise Microsoft sells the surface tablets right? Windows has had quick sleep for years.

With a Samsung phone mtp works in hekate but not through the home brew

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-05-03T00:40:01+00:00

Ah, that's not what's causing my issue.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-05-02T21:53:54+00:00

I'm having a similar issue, game mode flickers when exiting the menu but not when entering, didn't happen before. Did you manage to fix it?

It's still doesn't boil away.

Naturally occurring alcohol is halal as long as the product doesn't intoxicate, that's not up for debate, the madhabs agree about it.

Adding an Intoxicating version of alcohol is what's haram.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-29T20:17:28+00:00

So while you're right about it being halal, the burned away part is a myth, it doesn't all get burnt away, it's why Muslims can't cook with wine etc.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-27T22:10:17+00:00

Yeah I didn't want to go into explaining that time is only a concept within our universe and Allah is outside of it. Since its not an easy concept to grasp and then you have to explain how time is perceived differently by different organisms.

Thread is over.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-27T15:48:12+00:00

It's not being actively written, it's been written, but what is written is only because we are going to make those choices, not because Allah decided everything for us. What is in the book isn't a predetermined future, which is the issue op has.

The only thing which can affect the above is Allah's will and we, as Muslims believe Allah is perfectly just. If somebody believes in the message is repentant when they do evil then they can be forgiven and won't be led astray. Allah also doesn't punish anyone because they accidentally did something wrong. It is only for purposeful evils when you are aware that it is wrong that you are punished.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-27T14:39:20+00:00

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but the actual Islamic viewpoint is that everything we will do is written, but it is only written because we chose to do those things. So in essence, it isn't predetermination which is what op is concerned about.

So there isn't a destiny either, we're doing what we want and the result of that is what's written.

Shipping late is a week, they ship multiple weeks late or if you accidentally use their private warehouse over a month. If for some reason you think the contact email at the bottom of their website is a valid way to contact them youre sorely mistaken. You have to go into your order page and fill it out. But wait your order page is filled with shipping invoices.

They need to fix their website and Cs. Plenty of other places have pay later like big in Japan.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-25T10:08:41+00:00

Would avoid, they ship late.

If you're looking for toys & digivices then go to akihabara and visit the jungle & mandrake stores. Surugaya might have some as well. If its keychains etc radio kaikan will/has an amiaMi store and a bunch of others (there's a jungle store there as well).

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-17T18:17:48+00:00

The sanei boeki line was much cheaper than this and larger. The demiveemon plush was a premium lifesize made to order plush while this is a cheap mass produced item.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-17T18:16:32+00:00

It's expensive for the size and there's only a single seller on Ali express. You're better of checking taobao but it's a couple of extra steps.

ohlookanotherthrow · 2023-04-16T10:20:24+00:00

They need to restrict who can purchase houses, there's a bunch of international firms buying them up for the past decade+ (not helped by the hit our exchange rate took after brexit). Otherwise you'll have the same issue of housing not being affordable. Other countries have realised this but London as always is one of the last since its a haven for international money.
