The S.H.Figuarts Thread's Sixth Ranger

Huh?!?

A quip regarding the thread's title change, your confusion is understandable...

In the long run, is it not cheaper to just buy from Amazon Japan and pay shipping from Japan than it is to have someone ship it from Japan to them to ship to me?

Since you know a whole lot, sure, if you can find the figure on Amazon Japan and an Amazon seller that ships outside of Japan for such figures... If you find some, let us know. Good luck. :thumbs:

It would be if it was possible.

He is saying that that is why middlemen exist, to get around the hurdle that Amazon Japan imposes on outside buyers.

Of course, someday in the far far off future, Amazon Japan would MIGHT be more accommodating to non Japanese buyers but there is ZERO indication of that happening.

The suggestion of using middleman services is yours to take or leave, in my opinion it really does cost a lot less than buying from US sellers. Still more expensive than buying from shops like Amiami or HLJ but exclusives arent sold there to begin with so...

The middlemen services known here in HJU are professional, trustworthy, and dependable from previous experiences.

SHF has never been about Riders... It did start as a way to put out the products based on the Souchaku Henshin. So, no, I wasn't confused.

Sorry, I'm referring to the non-exclusive figures that Amazon Japan sells themselves, not their sellers.

Same... If you find Amazon "Japan" - (see quoted text) is able to send it outside of Japan for SHF figures, then go ahead. You don't need to tell us that it would be cheaper... If you find them there, then good for you.

Exclusive SHF figures are sold via Tamashii Web. There are a few sold on Amazon Japan, either as an Amazon exclusive or by 3rd party sellers.



EDIT: Looks like someone delved into the picture...

I was referring to the threads use of Rider related titles up until now...BUT that doesn't matter, quip has been made, it shall not be withdrawn.

I felt we needed at least one Sentai-centric thread title since I already know what I want to call the next couple. :laugh:

I just got Ankh Lost from Mandarake, and it is beautiful. It was super cheap (2500 yen I think) and unopened.

Based on this, Ankh Complete is going to be gorgeous, and my favorite, for sure.

The detail and paint on this figure are fantastic, plus the grey feathers that go on his chest/back are not only labeled, but the bubble is labeled too, so if I need to store him I can put them all back in the exact spots. That's crazy! Why can't American toys be as good.

Do all the Greeed include a stand and the piles of cell medals? Cuz if so, that's pretty cool. I'm so glad I broke down and started ordering the Greeed (have 2 in hand now, and the rest are on the way, can't wait for the Maki and Eiji Greeed).

Complete Ankh IS gorgeous, it's a great figure and already one of my favorites! But he doesn't have the cell medal stand...
