Any online stores that ship from the US?

So I can save even more money, since I'm still on a SH Figurats+Figma hunt, and of course, to save even more money. thanks

Why do you think a US store would be cheaper?

 

[ShukuenShinobi]

The only US store I know of is BigBadToyStore, which is actually more expensive, because they have to add in the import shipping prices to the figures themselves.

BigBadToyStore has ShinkenGold for $50. Add about $5.00 Shipping, so we'll guestimate about $55-60 or the figure.

AmiAmi has ShinkenGold for 2550 Yen, plus about 500 Yen SAL Shipping, so 3050 Yen shipped, which is about $37 give or take for exchange rate fluxuation.

Even at standard price (3500 Yen plus shipping), ShinkenGold shipped would be roughly $47, still much cheaper then BBTS.

Unless you're buying second hand from other collectors, buying from US Stores will hardly EVER be cheaper then directly importing, the US stores have to get money somehow.

To add to this, BBTS takes a LONG time before they actually get their stock in.

I did check out BBTS but then again, No SH Figuarts BLACK, not Figma Drossiel, so there's nothing. thus the question.

My point still stands that it's likely not going to save you money by buying from a US based store, in fact, it could end up costing more.

If Black is who you're looking for, his RE-RELEASE was...back in February? Your only shot this day in age of finding Black is Second Hand, Yahoo Japan Auctions, eBay, and such. I highly doubt you'll find a store with Black in stock.

To reinstate my answer to the actual question, Anime Jungle is another store I know of based in LA, and there is Toys N Joys, not that any sane person would buy from them. Regardless, in both cases, all Figuarts are ridiculously overpriced and expensive.

I can understand the latter, because it's shipped from Hawaii.

is black and black RX considered "rare" now, like kickhopper and what not.
