I wonder whether anyone has this problem. Due to limited stocks, we’re only limited to certain items that we want – possibly Japan are hoarding all the stocks there and only a few do make it out to the supplier or online shop sites like Hobby Search. When the Stock Market crashed just recently, we were greatly affected. How so? As you all know, I’m from Singapore and the economy of Singapore is strongpathetic. The exchange rate was horrible to the extent that my shipment for online purchases ended up …

Two days ago, I couldn’t resist clicking stuff from Amazon Japan. As such.. I spent again, this time on books. LOL. This is my first time purchasing from Amazon Japan, so was pretty worried whether the customs would fap on the materials in the box. I heard stories of locals like me, importing DVDs only to have them raped totally. So at the end of the day, I asked myself – will my books get raped too? The only solution is to ship and try, since experience is your best …

I got another visit from the postman today =D. Lol the parcel was like bigger than him. He was small-sized that I think he had difficulty just carrying the parcel by himself.. LOL.

This is by far the biggest parcel I ever ordered from Hobby Search. Oh right, this is my September Loots. Though it’s October now, I had it to be prepared for shipping around 30 September! Just arrived today.

This was what it looks like – boxes stuff in boxes ^^

In the parcel, 3 Yuki Nagato Evil Magician Figma, 2 …

So I guess a far number of bloggers I talk to do their figurines preorder at local shops like KKnM, Latendo, Ani-Play, Toyntoys. So the poison begins.. Lol that picture you see is just some of the preorders I have due in time XD.

If you read my previous post on Shopping Online for Figurines and stuff(it’s suitable for Asian people like me – US Shipping Rates differ a lot =X) I touched briefly on shipping costs, and each respective sites service.
If you guys notice, I tend to get my character …

Postman just came to my doorstep. He was supposed to make for the morning delivery – that’s how they work, if it gets packed with him before lunch, he will deliver around noon. However! Today he made it at around 4pm, kinda late.. My medicine is making me drowsy (I have flu) and I really wanted to sleep T_T.
This is my first time purchasing from Play-Asia. Although the figurine was priced more than the retail price at HLJ, I managed to get a 10 USD coupon from someone and the …

Back then I wrote an article of my personal guide to online shopping of figurines/merchandises, etc. The guide may be of use to fellow Asians only, for shipping is expensive for the US people I know XD. I saw this on DC a day ago. I was shocked by what I saw. The box is horribly crushed beyond my imagination >.<

Do you receive such parcels for your shipment? I always use EMS because I do not like to wait, nor do I want to keep thinking where the heck my …

I get my stuff from online sites at times, if not I head down to my local preorder store, KKnM to preorder figurines ^^. Well this is just a rough guide and my personal opinions of the various websites I purchase from.
Note: This guide is more reliable for the people located around the Asia Region, US shipping rates differ!

Normally, I only purchase items from sites recommended by friends.
Few sites I personally recommend ^^. Haven’t tried Amazon JP or HLJ, but hoping to do so one day, when I have items …
