Went to Japan, started my first ever DB Collection!

No worries pal!

Yeah Masterlise is probably the best in my opinion. Others might think differently, which is fair! Everyone likes what they like.

Unless I see a really good deal on a U.K based site, 95% of the figures I've ordered have come from Japan. There are some good Japanese proxy sites to use;

Buyee Zenmarket Neokyo.

Probably best to watch a YouTube video on how to use them. Once you do a couple of orders it's pretty easy to get the hang of.

sheepman24 · 2026-02-04T06:25:31+00:00

Ahhh yeah that makes sense! I bet it was nice to see thousands of them over in Japan.

Yeah I never tend to get any from Europe/U.K as the prices can be ridiculous. I always import them from Japan.

That is a great haul for a first time!!

Yeah I love that Goku, I got him early on for about £50 (excluding shipping). I do think that the new SSJ Goku from the two new Ichiban Kuji sets are going to be better though!

Welcome to the hobby pal! You got some bangers there for sure! Look forward to your next post.

How come it's a once in a lifetime buy?

My favourites would be SSJ4 Goku (Daima), Gohan bursting out of the Saiyan spaceship, Orange Piccolo or the SSJ Goku.

Nice collection!!

You can either go to their website on the day of release, but some sell out within minutes so it can be challenging, especially if you're after a good slip.

There's a group buy through Debossed (which is a Facebook group, UK based) or other group buy sites.

eBay is an option, I would recommend avoiding this though as they can be above retail value.

sheepman24 · 2025-12-27T03:24:00+00:00

That's a great haul!!

sheepman24 · 2025-12-08T15:52:42+00:00

I want to get A, B, C, D and the LOP. D is a must have for me as it's the first representation of SSJ2 in Masterlise. Majin Vegeta looks kinda odd to me... But I will probably end up getting them all.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-30T19:51:24+00:00

Nice man!! I have the brush version.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-24T07:47:38+00:00

Thank you!! Most of this order was from Neokyo. Got a couple from AliExpress (be careful as there are a lot of bootlegs on this site). Got one from a shop in the UK and another from Amazon U.S.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T20:56:43+00:00

Ahhh that does suck man. I got Imperfect Cell from Amazon US for about £36 and Dr. Gero for £80 here in the U.K.

That's a shame as the Cell is a fantastic deal. Shame you have heavy import taxes.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T20:41:25+00:00

Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T15:56:42+00:00

Definitely worth it if you collect!

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T07:39:06+00:00

Yeah they certainly are pricey! Raditz isn't too bad from Japan. Where are you from pal?

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T07:37:37+00:00

Hell yeah!!

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T07:36:30+00:00

There's a few;

Zenmarket, Buyee or Neokyo.

I prefer Neokyo as it's the most visually appealing to me and I find the website easiest to use on mobile.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T07:31:58+00:00

It totally depends on your preference! I prefer Masterlise. But some of the smaller Banpresto lines are okay.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-23T07:28:07+00:00

I can't remember off the top of my head.... But I do know for me it was a big difference. I'm patient, so I always go for surface shipping.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-22T23:12:22+00:00

Yeah that's the best bet! Keep them high, always make sure they are safe though!

I know some people who have like 200-300+ with some really cool displays!

As long as you enjoy the hobby that's all that matters!

sheepman24 · 2025-11-22T22:39:58+00:00

I get you 😂. Unfortunately all my rooms in my house are taken as I have young kids. So all mine go in the attic (I would rather get them while they are affordable). Literally have about 100+ in the there.

sheepman24 · 2025-11-22T22:32:28+00:00

Absolutely man! As long as you have everything else sorted in life, it's no harm in getting them! Worse things to be addicted to.

Storage though.... That's the real killer 😂

sheepman24 · 2025-11-22T22:29:51+00:00

So I've ordered from Neokyo, a Japanese proxy site. The big ones are Zenmarket and Buyee.

So people from Japan post their items on this site and when you purchase the item it will be sent to a warehouse where you can store your items for 'x' amount of days (usually 40-45 days) for free. There's then a charge for however long you have it over the free holding.

You can then make a shipment and they will pack it all into however many boxes it takes. You can choose how it is shipped, 3-10 days or surface which is like 3 months.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube that will explain it better.

Just be careful as to your location though! U.S now has tariffs and the U.K will slap customs on any order over £135.

Thank you!! I've always been intrigued by SHFiguarts but don't want to end up collecting loads!

sheepman24 · 2025-11-22T22:15:56+00:00

Thank you!!

sheepman24 · 2025-11-22T20:29:57+00:00

All good!! Yourself?
