I envy your luck! What a privilege to have a local store offering this masterpiece, allowing you to pick it up without any shipping fees. This is by far one of the most beautiful resin statue out there, congratulations!

If i knew yoyakunow is from on eof the nippon yasan ppl I would have never placed my order. My time to get a refund is not possible anymore since i have exceeded 180 days because of the preorder. 700 bucks! Just gone! It is the first time being scammed by a japanese store ever! Im really disappointed and will never order anything again that takes longer than 180 days

I bought one of the Pochaco mousepads back in 2017. The first one came busted, took almost 10 months before I got a replacement. Thing is massive! I have two massive Pochaco mousepads, been thinking about fixing the second one and reselling it but I have no skills or knowledge on how to fix it. I randomly went through my bookmarks, and wanted to see what else they sold today. Sad times.

I've noticed that many figures tend to bin very hard nowadays. And where I live, in Germany it's still possible to get decent pre-owned deals. So, nowadays I would only pre-order when I *really* want to get the figure, which also has become rare to be honest. The extra hassles, like waiting forever, huge VAT, and uncertainty about exchange rates and dates really make pre-ordering nerve-wracking and not worth it for me most of the time. And many comments here seem to be confirming that the figures lost a lot of their value, which also really sucks when you jump through all these hoops to be left only somewhat satisfied with your decisions...

Not sure if that means you'll see less ads or if YT will yoink all the ad revenue instead.

This is an old video, but I got both for $300 (excluding taxes and shipping). I was astonished how cheap and good quality they are (compared to many overpriced one). How come you found them both for $700? I got mine from AmiAmi
@TheAndoExperience7 ай бұрын
I paid 20k yen each for them so about $130 USD / $190 AUD with the current exchange rate. When I preordered (and prepaid) for them in 2020 the exchange rate to AUD was the worst it had been in 15 years. So ended up being like an extra hundred each compared to today's exchange rate. I also bought mine from AmiAmi (after the Nippon Yasan blunder)
@Softlol7 ай бұрын
@@TheAndoExperience I might have been lucky with the rates when I ordered, because I was skeptical due to the relative cheap price. But I’m pretty sure it was 20k yen I paid as well. So Nippon Yasan became Nin-nin games? Because I have purchased two figures from Nin-nin and didn’t have any issues (and the price on their website includes taxes, making them really cheap). But I will be more skeptical in the future.
@TheAndoExperience7 ай бұрын
@@Softlol no. Nippon Yasan has nothing to do with Nin Nin Game. Also figure prices have heavily inflated over the last 5 or so years. Re-issues however are usually the same as the original price. I feel like they were still relatively expensive when they first released.

Fantasy isn’t usually my go-to genre, but the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells is a great series I read last year that I would highly recommend! The books are pretty short so I found them good for getting through reading slumps. It’s good to see you posting again.
