The sprues didn't come boxed?

It helped a lot, still you shouldn't/can't avoid dickbuy imo
It is right at 90%

I unboxed everything to check it

I'm not reading it, I buy whatever the fuck I like.

god I fucking hate used book sellers
in what world is "plastered with stickers and stamps, water damaged and folded in half" = "very good condition"

Imagine if AA, United, and Delta had these flight attendants

Was this stolen from a public library?

Fumos on tanks

these fat tits.

Post them.

based, live on on intuition

no it's got discard stamps on it, the library either ditched it from the water damage or when it didn't get checked out enough to justify taking shelf space

This shit is ass

Sent that guy who painted Illya a DM asking if he has pussy pics he’d share.

I got a package today, too. I've got several figures to unbox but I had to start with Takina since her girlfriend was already here. As usual, the sheer size of 1/4 bunnies breaks my crappy photography setup and the glossy finish makes it hard to get a picture without reflections of my hands/face/random shit in the room but I'll share what I can.

Getting a package during golden week

how do you do it?

I hate bunnies but...

Imagine how wild a bunny night at Lyco Reco would be. Hag and walnut bunnies when?

Very cute

I just found out Anon Babble is alive again and raced back here, how is the tariff meme? I swear I'm not memeing I have a bunch of POs I need to know what to do with.

Apparently since Ami-sama put Japan as country of origin then you're covered by the $800 de migus
Trump is too scared to confront her about where she gets the figures from

China is going to pay for it.

is anyone here getting figgies over 800usd?

got two figures that I want to buy for this month, should I buy from amiami or ninnin? Don't know which one will give me the best price. I don't live in the US if that helps

Speaking of bunnies, just got a giant one in the mail today.

Yami should be out in 10 days or so, hopefully they will keep going with Mikan, Tearju and maybe Lala.

sex!

de minimis still in effect for Japan

Thank God. Anyone got pics on how Hobby Search and HLJ declare their items?

china

Hobby Search

I checked the slip from my last order, and the customs declaration doesn't seem to have a column for the country of origin.
And they declared it as a gift, actually.

post your most recent figgie

Lots of stores default to putting JP or putting nothing (box/paperwork is listed from JP already). Yes the law says it cares about CoO but customs is so overworked theyre likely not gonna open every box to check the made in china sticker.
Some people get enough to tip the limit in one go but if youre smart, just deliver items in separate bulk shipments across months
acouple of people on MFC said their most recent HLJ orders got declared as JP, probably cuz they too dont wanna deal with annoyed customers

Does jointshit count?

Finally got mine. She's next in line after I build big Gourai.

ems amiami package soon

so when do I pay the tariff. I expected a text or email about it, but still haven't gotten anything. Is the postman going to come with a gun?

People have been saying that Amiami lists CoO as Japan, so you should be fine unless they open it.

their most recent HLJ orders got declared as JP

Which is strange because I had sent them an email last month asking this and they sent me the following:
Our shipments originate from here in Japan but on the invoice the country of manufacture for each item will be listed correctly as to where the items were made whether that be Japan, China or other countries.

Unfortunately we would not be able to label all items as made in a country other than where they actually were. As as stated in our Help Center, "False customs declarations are a crime, and so HobbyLink Japan cannot comply with requests to undervalue or mislabel packages."

It works out for me if they decide to label everything as Japan, so I’m not going to complain.

They probably caved. Of course lots of stores are just gonna be like "oops we're ignorant, it's on the buyer" when it comes to this. Technically it is on the buyer and you could get dinged with a penalty. I just look at it from a common sense point of view - customs really doesnt have the manpower (especially after having doge eating thru many govt sections) to examine anime goods, which already look like they always come from japanland. I have a bulk shipment too from HLJ in the next few months so I'd also benefit from them just blindly putting JP or nothing on the forms. Just gotta wait and see as more HLJ shipments get sent out and people give their feedback.

don't we still have to pay the japan tariff? Or did I misunderstand this poop.

De minims is still in effect for Japan items, only items listed as being from China are affected.

Is that based on a series, or an original figure?

Nevermind, found it out by myself
It's an original character

Sir, your nendos are outside their mugs

Actually followed up on my idea from last week of taking her to a semi-beloved landmark across from the water treatment plant because it was such a lovely day today.
I took a couple, this one was a more complete photo of the building with Mai a little out of focus.

I still like it though, plus the faded/chipped paint on the roof of my car is perfect for this.

I ordered one Chinese Pokemon card along with a bunch of other JP cards and paper goods. I am curious how this will be handled. I'm ready to pay a fee regardless.

Saturday, DHL says the package is arriving Thursday

cool no rush

get email today that the package is on its way to be delivered, and then it gets delivered 2 hours later

I suspect they group orders together by area ranges, and that their estimates are based on worse case scenarios. I don't think DHL has ever been late for me- always either very early or on time.

Imagining the chinese who will have to spend months if not a year + painting hundreds of nude Ilyas.

It's a blessing

They're all going to be delayed due to constant masterbation breaks

ywn be have a respectable, 9 - 5 job painting naked lolis and fapping to them on the clock

Another figure from gsc, way better than the asanagi fox they did before.

Want

A shame that her dress is glued to her ass.

Pretty cool how they sculpted her mouth instead of the usual flat-ish ones.

Is this an infamous misprint?
