I took a look. Basically with shipping you're just as well off buying it from BBTS or any of the American retailers.

 

Just using amiami's EMS rates

KY Kentucky right? 4th zone, around 1.5 to 2.0 kg, I'm doing rough guesstimate so around Y 7900 shipping converted at current exchange rate so US$ 59.78

You can also contact them with their chat option.

I hope this helps.

 

This was their charge for the item and shipping via EMS to Massachusetts:

 

Was my guesstimate close?

 

High, actually

 

Much better to go over the cost than to underestimate. Then you'll have some savings ( that's what I keep convincing myself) 

 

I was originally going to wait for Megatron and ship them both, but when I saw the size of the box I figured I should do it separately in case two of them locked me into a bigger size class.

I'm glad EMS is available to Canada again because while it was expensive, the DHL was worse.
I'm starting to think I might get Bumblebee from a Canadian retailer now...

 

Those are a million times better than those awful “sexy Transformer” costumes that the Spirit Halloween Store rolls out every year.

 

My Koto Optimus came today. DHL from AmiAmi. Looks great, no issues.

 

I'm definitely jealous of those of you getting them already, but the increased costs of getting it from Japan outweighs waiting for US release, I guess.

 

Mine this Friday.

 

Waiting for Megatron to release to get both preorders from hobby-genki. Even with shipping, they were cheaper there than ordering from BBTS or TFSource.

 

With the exchange rate being what it is, it ended up being cheaper than BBTS and others. Shipping included.

 

Just in. She's tall at 1/6 ish 

 

There's a big enough market to cater to the tastes of different clientele.

I'll reserve judgement until I see side-by-side comparison photos.

Looking forward to this year's Halloween costumes.

 

Really? Cool. The previous Morrigan and Felicia felt around 1/8 when it was advertised as 1/7

 

Surprised myself. My Bishoujo Tekken Alisa B is smaller than this and supposedly 1/7.

 

This figure isn't really for me, but it's extremely impressive how many details they managed to get in. Showed it to one of my friends and this was her direct quote: "Jesus Christ, she's extremely hot" so it's clearly for some people.

 

Anyone select SAL postage from AmiAmi and has it shipped yet? I preordered and I'm still waiting for it to ship.

 

Looks like Megatron is released now, just got an email from Hobby-genki that my preorder for both has shipped.
