Kinda surreal seeing the pencil

Now where the fuck is DHL with my Quattro shit.
Fedex came, ups came, I want my bright cel and lalah

>>281767512
You are forgetting the paperwork and representacion fees, tack another 15 bucks to that. And if you take too long they also charge storage fees.

>>281767512
Which marashi cd?

>>281768595
Yes but it will be easier to undervalue :^)

I'm literally paying them to split packages so that they are as unnoticeable as possible.

>>281768128
Okay that's funny.

>tfw have an alt address in Spain
Do any buyfags in Spain have a clue how imports from Japan work?

>>281767369 (OP)
Multiple but none of them are figgies

>>281768625
>chinks just laugh and lie/cheat their way around tariffs, never get charged extra
why cant japan do this

>>281769667
To be fair, it's not buyfiggy but buyfag.

>>281769803
So if they're both going to tangentially be involved with my buyfaggotry do they count?

You losers gonna have to touch grass for once it seems! Exactly what we voted for!

>>281767844
Yep, that's my wife

>>281769994
shut up /v/

>>281769252
If it's under 150€, pagar IVA here https://www.correosaduanas.es/
If it's above, fill this form https://www6.agenciatributaria.gob.es/wlpl/inwinvoc/es.aeat.dit.adu.adip.present.cnt.CPostalesInter I don't remember what the more convenient "código de mercancía" is though. You can skip shipping cost (which has to be inputted in euro) if you include it in merchandise value. You will need an invoice, printing the order's page as pdf is valid. (you can wait for Correos to "do it for you" but they'll ask for exactly the same information as that form and charge you for it)

Holy shit my small packet package made it into customs. I’m so relieved and happy, it was my only package being shipped right now and I really didn’t want to pay some bogus $80 fee, suck my FAT cock donald

>>281770051
Inward office doesn't mean customs though

>>281769994
I don't have any pictures of my last hike with my rifle to show off for buyfag, sorry.

>>281770127
If it's in the country he made it, the tax doesn't start until Friday.

Package came!

>>281770136
Take a picture of it with something like a stick and a rock. those are close enough to mountains and trees so it'll probably count.

>>281770397

>throw my rifle into my garden and that counts as touch grass for anon
>include a Miku too for shits and giggles
Genius.

Messaged Amichan what I should be doing with my open invoice. The only method is EMS, so I don't see any point in paying it now if they're going to just potentially cancel it. Hopefully they just put it back on hold or something.

>>281770849
I'd pay it, personally. If you've already given them money maybe they won't cancel. Of course, you could also end up in a situation where they don't cancel, but since you already paid for EMS they won't change the shipping method and your package is held until EMS is available even when other shipping methods go through.

DHL arrived (late)

>>281770747
Did you preorder it already? Im practicing painting/airbrushing to make her look great

>>281770980

>>281770397
Is the tea bin made of metal?

>>281771017
Yup. I already paint GKs and while I thought that Takt was a mediocre anime I love her design.
I hope you have a Gallus J trapped in your private warehouse too if you are a real Mashmyre stan.

Anyone selling anything? Nendos?

>>281771043
Yep, it's a real tin you can use

>>281771081
go away IRS

>>281771065
I really liked the idea, and the game. The execution was while average to below average I still cared about the characters and cried at the end. Seriously a great series. I'll definitely come by and ask some questions when she releases. I don't have to make her look fantastic but as look as she's decent I'll take it.

I don't really build gunpla unfortunately. I'm trying to get in to it so one day I'll buy a lot of the zeta/ZZ ones

>>281771063

it's not even about the money at this point
just the retarded fucking uncertainty and no fucking direction

This is just about to come out. I hope Amico is merciful and doesn't cancel.

>>281771521
>just the retarded fucking uncertainty and no fucking direction
So, the usual. Pretty sure most want exactly that; if the cheeto decides something that he actually commits to it till the end , but thats something he has never done, so, TACO forever.

>>281771560
Sorry anon, but you must consume your local vtubers and not imported ones, you must get your vshoujo figures instead. Oh, wait...

>>281771521
If the point is for muh deal bargaining chip, we'll be ok. The complete clusterfuck of the implementation will be enough to revert it, maybe lower the exemption limit to 300 so he can still save face with a 'win'
If the point is to flood the existing mail systems to make more privatized mail options brought to you by the likes of bezos, we're fucked.

>>281767466
Helmet off looks cooler imo

>>281771770
I keep thinking it was all intentional just for this. 'oh the post office can't even deliver your mail even though we implemented a vat like other countries '

>>281771770
It is for control and money.
Several countries in LatAm implemented the same taxing laws and ruling and it is because when packages are exempted from taxes then nobody knows who it is for outside the name and address.
If someone NEEDS to be taxed because every single package now needs to pat customs then every single purchase and package is linked to a tax id.
Expect further news saying how it is needed to punish countries the USA has trade deficits with and how it is to stop fentanyl.

Show me your buyfag rooms anons

I need to order more frames as well to frame some things not pictured but this is what the wall is looking like. no I didn't keep the cels on my bare wall I just needed a reference for sizing

how is quality of AMAKUNI?

With ems going byebye, feels like dhl is just taking the piss and charging whatever they want. 10k just to ship 2 shirts is stupid. I wonder what amiami's gonna do since they basically have no options anymore.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i didnt boughteded

why dont you guys just go to japan. Youre blowing thousands on shipping anyway

>>281772398
Top quality, on par with alter.

>>281772587
I was already there in June. Brought back a bunch of shit and I'm now really glad I did.

>>281772587
you would still need to pay to ship your shit, at " thousands" on shipping your bags wouldnt be enough to even start.

>>281772587
This is exactly what I switched to. Already submitted time off from work. Just have to wait for approval before buying a ticket

>>281772642
Anon... It's like 85$ to add an extra luggage at the airport. Way cheaper than shipping 20kg worth of stuff

>>281772398
They're one of the best, you have no need for concern.

>>281772587
I don't want to be detained indefinitely when I come back.

>>281772687
And you can only do that twice, thousands on shipping is not just two bags, Anon. And maximum luggage dimensions wouldnt even be enough to hold 20 kg in figures.

>>281772687
A regular bag wouldnt be able to hold more than a few scales though. Weight is not the limit for most buyfag stuff, volumetric weight is.

>shipping: ¥9,200
is this gay trade war over yet?

>>281772609
>>281772690
appreciate it anons, wasn't too familiar with them but sounds good

>>281772791
No, the cheeto still lives

>>281772832
Amakuni on their own are better than when they partner with amiami. Also, Amiami on their own are one of the worst manufacturers.

>>281772791
>>shipping: ¥9,200
don't forget the extra fees :^)

Didn't realize this was GRIZZRY

>>281772853
I still think about that Amiami Ryza fig.

figu kissu

>>281772877
where's her bikini figgie that was teased?

>>281765663
Actually I think it went pretty well. Maybe they will offer it and it'll turn out one of the interviewers is also a Bunnytoro enjoyer

>>281772899
That never happened, it was a GSC false flag

>>281772910
you mean these? preorders ended a while ago

>>281772821
not for long, if Ronald McDonald has anything to say about that

>>281772928
i didn't see her on ami at all. what the fuck dude

>>281772928
Holy shit.
Would a figure such as that be a risk if imported into a country like Aus, YooKay or Canada? It seems silly to ask but I get paranoid even for relatively tame figgies like that.

>>281772952
Amiami is not the only store nor they carry every figure

>>281772966
and hobbysearch.

i still don’t buy the whole flying to japan to do a huge shopping spree then flying back thing, even before this trade war happened.
how much are the plane tickets? the hotel bill? the food and drinks bought? taxi and train fees? shipping and buying from japan online will still be cheaper, even after these jew tariffs and fees. if you really wanted to go to japan for muh experience then i guess it’s justified but otherwise no, i don’t want to blow hundreds to thousands on plane tickets and hotels

>>281772963
Nah, the yukis are not flat enough

>>281773017
Because its not viable, its not worth buying there anything you can get online. If you can grab something extra on your trip that's cool but going just to shop its plain retarded.

>>281772735
I can fit 5 scales in mine anon. I could even do more if I took the figs with me in my carryon baggage and collapsed all the boxes.

Keep in mind scale figures are not the only merch that people want to buy. You can fit way more bds, plushies, old clothes, etc in luggage. Japanese snacks and food are not under the new FDA import clearance. Japanese sunscreens, cosmetics are banned from importation now. Figures are the last of my worries

>>281772791
It has only just begun

>>281773134
Ive shipped 5 scales for less than 100 though, No need to collapse anything as EMS is weight based. And no need to pay the tickets plus accommodations. plus this >>281773063

Bringing something is an extra, not worth flying just for that, as the retard who started the chain stated.

>>281772791
We're not even 1/4 way through.

>>281767844
Hai, boku no tsuma desu.

>>281773274
where?

>>281773322
https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2041827.html

>>281773226
I disagree as stated and why I am going to take a trip for exactly that.
I use japanese cosmetics/sunscreens and they are banned from importation due to using newer filters. the fda hasn't approved new sunscreen filters since the 1990s. Foods like curry roux an matcha (iffy) will get caught in the filters and may be confiscated. Blurays can quickly reach over 800 if you're buying 1-2 seasons. Things like alcohol or collaboration items with batteries. If you think buying = only figs you wont realize the amount of limitations that's been imposed just for normal mail and new restrictions recently.
It's absolutely worth it to go to shop (as well as I like japan anyways and go 1-2x a year)

>>281773384
Those are not really buyfag producs though. and the only ones that are, BDs and CDs, are on the very cheap end to ship, as their size allows for cheaper alternatives ( printed matter, small package, etc) even on couriers.

Point remains, if someone is asking why " dont they just fly to japan to buy" in a buyfag thread, its plain retarded.

>>281773274
I'd love to get this in the states somehow. I have my work table against a window (I like looking outside) so I don't have a pegboard to help organize things.

>>281773384
Try reading the chain and how it started, this is not about what you CANNOT ship, but what you CAN.

Nui owners, how do you display them? Not that large nuis, but the smaller 15cm ones. I bought an individual stand but I didn’t really like it.

Can you not get it through Buyee? I preordered his book through Buyee and it was only $18 after fees. Idk about international shipping yet, but I can’t imagine it being that much higher since my 1/7 order was $30 shipping.

>>281773599
The chain started with me anon. you've been replying to me. ems shipping is expensive as fuck to the usa anyways.

>>281773746
dhl would often be cheaper for bigger packages

>>281773746
what spice?

>>281773746
Is fedex an option? My shipping for a scale is like a third of that cost.

>>281773976
curry roux power sachets (not boxes).

>>281774003
shipping to the US is just expensive in general. It's always been like this since they increased usps prices. Fedex is usually around the same cost as dhl. fedex in my area is just kinda shit. I like my usual dhl driver.

>>281773976
The figgies must flow

>>281773746
my brain skipped over the "e" so for a second there I thought you were importing 10 spics

>>281767946
>>281770747
Wait, wait. Does the game did well enough to guarantee merch? The anime was barely a blimp when aired.

>>281774142
That isn't even an actual figure. The gacha died and Prime 1 decided to sell it as a garage kit instead of as a pre-painted figure like everything else they make. It seems like an act of mercy for the few fans of the series, which is more than a lot of announced by never released figures get.

>>281774142
oh anon... you're so late. yes there is 3 figures of destiny, one of titan, there is a ton of the usual type of merch but good lucky finding exactly what you want. you're a few years too late.

>>281774127

>>281775414
I hate whatever fuckheel janny is letting these stay up until near the bump limit and then doing it. I got 3 days for the titdragon when that happened. I think it's some butthurt faggot.

>>281775414
That reason is bs all buyfag threads are the same, the child figure being the OP attracted unwanted attention and the mods decided to nuke it.

>>281775618
if the janny was ami you would be kissing the toilet her turd falls into

Oh n-

>>281775739
what if they suddenly change it tomorrow? will all the jap sites change back suddenly? doing this from the sender side is retarded anyway because will american customs even fucking recognize it or will they double dip our asses because they don't know what the fuck they're doing so you'll have to fucking call into some overloaded ai bullshit trying to get refunded

So what's stopping me from just saying all my items are 200 yen, huh?

>>281775739
>+2791
>-5727
I’m so confused. Are they adding or subtracting?

cunny lost...

so tariffs in a few days. I shipped out my buyee package 2 days ago it only just now in transit. so if it gets to customs on the day tariffs go into effect am I fucked? or does the in air/on sea rule apply?

>>281775877
ECMS pays you 5727 yen for every shipment.

>>281775855
Third worlder here, you don't want to declare totally unrealistic prices depending on the items in your package. Say you bought a smartphone and you declare it as 1000 yen, is there really any new smartphone with that price? What you should do, instead, is use the minimum "acceptable" price for the item category that is being used in your customs declaration.

Half of you fags haven't even unboxed all of the figures you already have. You deserve this, you costco bulk buying burgernurgers.

>>281775855
If our customs start being as assmad as the ones in other countries, then might be a problem.

>>281775894
fuck forgot pic

>>281775920
it was number 1 in amiami.jp

>>281775877
The initial charge was 6285, so 558 yen additional but now with 20%?

>>281775915
I'M SORRY OKAY I PROMISE I'LL GET TO IT THIS WEEKEND

Tenso just sounds like they're making up these additional fee prices.

Tuesday is going to be such a fucking shitshow if nothing changes. I'd bet maybe 10% of America even knows what's going on and maybe 3% understand it.

>>281775915
You're going to build my shelves for me BITCH? p-please...

>>281776004
None of the fees will be enforced and the new rules will be challenged in the courts where they will die after a year or two. Nothing ever happens.

Does yahoo auctions let you just use a forwarder or will I need a proxy?

>>281775984
It's all made up. Yostar added a flat $100 fee with is made up bullshit.

>>281775905
I assume if they've actually started shipping it and stamped it before the deadline you should be clear. Probably.

Or not, maybe Japan Post will crash with no survivors and they'll return everything back.

>>281775739
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Looks like I'm keeping my order in the warehouse until the 30 day limit is up.

>>281776045
i think you HAVE to use buyee or have a friend in japan help you send payment and receive the package for a very high value ending auction(over 901k yen).

>>281776074
Something like from japan or japan rabbit doesn't work?

>>281776095
Im pretty sure yahoo auctions has an exclusive partnership with buyee so no other forwarders can be used to buy with them.

>>281776095
I used FromJapan for YAJ, they have automatic bidding

>>281775905
No one knows yet. In transit exceptions used to be the norm when things change but other imports recently have had that exception removed (believe it was steel/aluminum tariffs) out of nowhere even if they were already in transit. Safest bet is if finishes customs clearance before the 29th. The customs clearance process usually starts soon after being put on a plane so you may be able to slip through even if it didn't clear completely before the 29th, but it is really anyone's guess how carriers are handling it.

>>281776045
>>281776074
You can use other middle man websites, like Zenmarket for example. Buyee is one of the more popular ones and they seem to have partnerships with several online stores to promote their services.

Nobody knows what's going on ahhhh

man I remember when all this tariff bullshit started all you fags called me a liar for posting my friends 800+ tariff bills. feeling so vindicated. if you voted for the jewish orange pedo you NEED to rope.

>>281776171
you are still a liar because tariffs hadn't even started back then retard

I want to buy the fry fairy but WEARTDOING is just too retarded a name, I can’t trust them with money

>>281776165
any of them undervalue?

>>281776171
the de minimis exemption wasnt even announced until recently, meaning there were no tariffs for a lot of orders until recently.

>>281775855
The store you buy your shit from, yes literally. Thats why plenty of people have gone to other stores that are not amiami that will undervalue for you.

>>281776181

lmao trump is actually a socialist too, the state is buying ownership in american companies now. these jewish worshipping magafags wont have a country soon.

>>281775905
Pretty sure if your package gets postmarked before the tarrif policies take effect, then it shouldn't get taxed with the new policy. If it does then that sounds like an easy legal lawsuit to bring you to early retirement.

>>281772374

I'm not a burger but the vitriol is kinda annoying. Is it butthurt thirdies or eurocucks that hate you so much?

Tariffag?

do wagies really

If I preorder a figure that comes out next month through an American site like Big Bad Toy Store, will it get to me just fine? Will the shipping ban affect commercial businesses' ability to acquire figures?

>>281776826
it depends on the source
goosmileUS just imports from japan/china to their domestic warehouse so you get fucked regardless

>>281776826
I don't know about other websites. BBTS has a system in place where they give you the final price and allow you to cancel within a time range before you agree on that price. Sometimes they include it in the preorder price. You'll have to read the listing before placing the order.

god fucking stupid fucking shit i just want figi

They're from a 1985 animage magazine. They were folded at the manufacturer. The poster in Gundam graffiti is the same

Nope, she wanted to be alice.

No. Costco underwear gets the job done and then there is better underwear out there made of merino wo- wait what thread am I in again?

It's not cheap but I always thought it would be fun to get custom dust jackets printed for stuff. I find localized manga spines pretty ugly much of the time.

i think they hand those out at conventions or something, i have a sample cgc graded comic book that says the same thing. i won mine by spinning a wheel at their booth at sdcc

>>281777612
good idea. Can't be that expensive surely. Unless youre doing fancy embossing and holographic stuff

Its not that close compared to what macro can produce. You could have gotten way better results with a 3 dollars extension tube on a regular prime lens, of course if you actually know how to adjust your settings manually a bit instead of just relying on gear.

I just tried to order something on Mandarake just now and the only shipping option was DHS for 10,000 yen. Is there a reason for the lack of EMS/SAL/air mail options?

You should ask them to ship it via EMS, if they refuse saying something about taxes and tariffs just tell them they are the ones that should pay them .

Yeah. Just back up what you have and put mine in just incase you don't like it. it has reverse for pixiv, and twitter filenames.

So should I buy shit now even with retardly high DHS shipping cost in fear that even more retarded tariffs and more international retaliation will be placed in the future, or should I hope things blow over (lol) and that they resume shipments?

Lol no. It was some months ago.
He tried the same shit with China and Bezos immediately slapped the tariff fees on every single product brought from China and USPS had to turn back shipfuls of packages.
It was such a massive clusterfuck that it had to be rolled back for a further date.

You all shouldn't have anything to worry about. During Kung Flu they put everything on hold but shit started shipping out fine a few months later. Whether it's the faggots in charge at the U.S. or Japanpost, one of them will bend the knee and we'll get everything. Nothing ever happens.

the difference is the whole world stopped back then, now its just the US so its not similar, and JP post really doesnt have to do anything either, they are not accepting the packages at all, its not like during pandemic when they were actually holding them.

>>281779731
Honestly anon if you can read hiragana then books with furigana are way better to read to immerse yourself in the language.

>>281779780
Neokyo explicitly said they aren't gonna extend package holds and they also aren't going to refund, even though I'm buying something from JP Amazon and I imagine they have JP Amazon's standard refund policy and it's a fucking preorder.
I'm willing to bite the cost one way or another but this doesn't change it's gonna affect my long term goals of getting all the PSG artbooks eventually.

>>281780520
I switched over to animate and just an going to send to a forwarder

I'm never getting this fucking thing.

>>281780545
this is how i know the hobby blew up after covid, lot of new people didnt even experience what happened during covid where they just froze our orders/shipping for a couple of months (to my benefit, since i could combine several months of stuff) - also how i learned about HLJ, since they just let you hold shit in the warehouse forever, i really wish other stores would switch to the warehouse method

>>281780625
I started buyfagging in the middle of covid and paid 100 dollars to ship my first 1/7 scale
all I know is getting raped

So will Goodsmile jp rerelease some figgies now that burgers are cancelling en masse?

Ami-chan refusing to update her site in protest!

FOOKIN UPDATE YOU BRAT

>>281767512
You voted for it faggot.

>>281780625
Am I misremmebering, or didn't DHL and other places raise prices during that time because SAL stopped and they went 'lol lmao'?
And during the last tariff update earlier this year they were slapping people with tariff fines without any tariff changes in place? Basically taking advantage of peoples lack of knowledge on the tariff situation?
This all seems very familiar. Except now it seems more similar to when Canada mail went on strike for awhile and they stopped shipping to Canada entirely for a brief time until that got sorted out. I am guessing by the end of September fees will return to normal except now we pay fees (that won't be 15% plus $80 or whatever sickness we'll have to pay now).

>already getting priced out of buyfagging because shipping costs and figure costs were already going up before the tariff shit
>it's affecting my other hobbies now too
I can't fucking win

>>281780821
Everything shipping related raised prices. SAL went away forever. Those raised prices have pretty much been the same as today's. Gone are the days where shipping was as small as 35 bucks for two figgies. That's why I like the warehouse method - it's lot easier to receive one big lump for 80 bucks instead of repeatedly paying 50/60 multiple times throughout the year. You can get a whole new figure with the money saved.

Feels good to live in a country that still doesn't have import taxes and tariffs

>>281780983
What country is this?

>>281780839
You can always focus on a new hobby and save up for this one in the meantime. That is what I'm going to do at least. I'm going to go back to drawing more instead of being glued to JP auction sites. And also I learned that I need to be more appreciative of what I do have instead of wanting a new thing.

Unfortunately the other hobbies I have are Magic and I've also recently rediscovered how fun Lego is. Besides, there's barely been anything coming out for my wife and the one figure she's gotten in years isn't even actually her.

>>281777583
Just some tips for a new macro shooter, depth of field is very short at macro ranges, to get more than just one eye of a figure in focus, you'll have to raise your aperture probably to f8 or f11, which also means you will get much less light, so it'll help to put your camera on a tripod or at least a flat surface and not handhold it so you can do longer exposures. Also helps to get a good source of light.
It still has a minimum focus distance so find out where that is so you can get what you want in focus. It'll probably help to just use manual focus assist to make sure what you want is in focus.

>>281781059
You just reminded me I was meaning to get back into Lego, got the Bonsai one the other year but haven't had shelf space/desire to drive 90min to the Lego Store I know. Maybe losing access to our figgies is the bad push i need.

As of now I'm trying to mostly rebuild the sets I had as a kid, only gotten a few newer ones, namely the Dune Ornithopter and the new Happy Plants set. Childhood set wise I do have a ton of Bionicles, so it's not too different from having tons of figures.
>>281781121
I mean I have a good amount of Gen 1 Bionicle, so that's something. Probably going to collect the themes I got as a kid like Mars Mission, Alpha Team, Dino Attack. 2000's Lego is my favorite so probably going to buy more of that than newer stuff. That or do MOCs. Luckily my roommate is also autistic about Lego so I have living room space to display shit.
