Hi all, Just wanted to share a helpful tip to all fellow collectors based outside of Japan. Over the past 5 months or so, I've been using a Japanese Shopping Service that purchases goods I want in Japan and sends them to me securely for a great price. The service I use is called Japan Kawaii Shopping Service. I first discovered them through eBay and have since kept in contact with them through Facebook. They specialize in Japanese figures and plush toys. I collect only WCF/DWC, but I've received three sizeable shipments thus far from them, and I couldn't be more pleased. The prices are amazing, the communication is great, and the goods always arrive quickly in perfect condition. Their access to certain figures obviously varies by availability amongst their retailers/sources, but, particularly for new/upcoming releases, they offer some of the best prices I've seen. For reference, my most recent shipment from them included the new WCF Freeza Special Vol. 1 & 2, for which I paid $64 per volume. If you check prices online anywhere else, you'll see them going for at least $100. Again, I can't vouch for the availability and pricing of other figures like Figuarts or MSP, but for the experience I've had with them, I can't speak highly enough. Here's a link to their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/mauloajapan/Feel free to shoot them a message, and let them know Eliot sent you! Below are a few examples of the shipments I've received, both before they were shipped and after they arrived.    I hope some of you find this service as useful as I have. It's made collecting so much more affordable and exciting for me! Be sure to share your thoughts, or even your experiences if you do decide to try the service. And of course let me know if you have any questions! I'm happy to help. Happy collecting! |

All original. Only original. The Japanese tend to be very reliable, and this shopping service does not purchase or sell bootleg items. |

Just checked this, I got a question Eliot, about the "Necessary Information" they ask for:
Necessary information
・The URL that I can buy the item.
This means a shop URL selling the item I want or just a URL where he can see the product or what?? any example?

This means a shop URL selling the item I want or just a URL where he can see the product or what?? any example? A URL or detailed picture should suffice. I rarely provide a URL, because I usually ask about items long before they go on sale. If you can provide a picture with the name or a description of the item, that should be plenty. If you can't find one, the full name and manufacturer of the item might even be enough. |
