AmiAmi Nendoroid Buying Guide [Pre-order/Pre-owned]

[@FIREKING001]

Do they automatically exchange your currency to yen or do you have to go to your local bank before hand?

[@NendoNow]

It's automatic. At least it is for me and my bank (I pay in USD). Paypal will automatically convert it using their exchange rate as well.

[@FIREKING001]

Nendo Now Thanks for responding guess I'm gonna be making some orders soon

[@satanael_el]

Nendo Now what if i dont use paypal?

[@ZandatsuGaming]

Nendo Now i know this is late but Paypal exchange rates is ridiculous overprice. Before you buy make sure change from Paypal exchange rates to your card issuing bank

[@DNTrip101]

When using PayPal can we use our account balance or just our credit card???

[@FigureBreak]

This was a seriously useful video. I didn't know you could navigate amiami like that I always had to use specific words int he search bar to find something. Thank you

[@NendoNow]

Glad it was helpful.

[@pablolee2252]

@@NendoNow If SAL isn't a shipping option what would you reccomend instead? Also do they charge shipping per figure or per order?

[@NendoNow]

@@pablolee2252 EMS or DHL. And shipping price is determined by size and weight. The more you buy, the bigger/heavier the box that ships, the more expensive shipping is.

[@LadySubaru62]

Amiami owns my soul. I don't wanna think about how much money I spent in 2016. And for this year I have 6 nendoroids on pre-order. There will be more if we get more dramatical murder and yuri on ice nendoroids.

[@ASHERUISE]

There's 3 YOI nendoroids planned so far for the 3 main characters...and I understand.

[@LadySubaru62]

I know about the victor and yurio nendoroids. I already have yuri on pre-order order. I'm hoping with dramatical murder we get Virus, Trip or Ren nendoroids

[@dodg1123]

i NEED a phichit nendoroid.

[@ASHERUISE]

I Need Phichit, Minami and Chris but my wallet doesn't.

[@LadySubaru62]

Now I have victor on pre-order, and now stalking amiami waiting for that aoba scale figure to be available for pre-order

[@LeahOtaku]

The intro is the best haha

[@lilayu2]

"You can ship Tracer and Megumin together" LOL trying to subtly make some new couple matches there, dave? =P i wish i had this video when i first started collecting! very informative =)

[@mysticdragon3]

Thanks for the tutorial, Dave! Lately, there've been so many Tumblr people asking how/where to buy the new Overwatch, Yuri on Ice, & Disney/Pixar Nendoroids. I shared your video to them right away. Thank you for helping the newbie collectors! ^_^

[@NendoNow]

mysticdragon3 oh awesome! hope this video is helpful for them! thanks for sharing it!

[@Marine19151]

I'm not sure if you noticed it, but they just added a new shipping method, which is DHL. I think shipping costs is a little cheaper and they also deliver a bit faster than EMS shipping (DHL: about 2 to 7 days; EMS: about 3 to 7 days), depending which country you live in and the delivery area. More information about DHL can be found in the Payment/Shipping tab, and it's located under the chart.

[@NendoNow]

Every time DHL has been a shipping option for me it was always more expensive than EMS. I've also heard some people have gotten hidden fees from DHL directly. I only mentioned the ones I've personally used, but if DHL works for you and others then that's great. Always good to have options.

[@MashiroShiina]

i already pre ordered Megumin im so excited :)

[@NendoNow]

EXPLOSION!!!!!!

[@thisisnerdi]

How lucky

[@Aimathyst]

Your intros are always the best xD This is super helpful! I just recently started using AmiAmi for pre-orders and I made my first pre-owned purchase of a B/B condition scale of Saber so I'm looking forward to seeing how the quality is!

[@Wriki]

Be ready to inspect that B figure and not be sure why it's graded that way - had a B nendoroid that only had wear on the stand plug hole (something that I would expect from normal use) but that's how they work things out I guess.

[@NendoNow]

Hoping your Saber comes in excellent condition!

[@belleaimee738]

Oh, so sorry I was another person to ask about where you like to get your Nendos... this video was super helpful!! Thank you! Next time I'll be better about reading the description or looking through past videos ;)

[@NendoNow]

Belle Aimee lol😂😂😂 as long as it was helpful, that's all that matters

[@kevinyoung7294]

see here's the problem. i paid extra for ems in the hope of avoiding customs. took 2 days from japan to uk now stuck in customs 2 days. doubt i'll get it by next weekend. doh.

[@lalakoaiko]

Great tutorial Dave! The intro was great xD Much agreement to the danger of the preowned section lol.

[@NendoNow]

Thanks Jeneva! I had to ban myself from amiami's pre-owned section cause it was getting out of hand! haha

[@DJDelta0]

Awesome guide! Now I can finally build up on my Nendoroid collection

[@RainbowManatee]

Planning to buy one when my taxes come in...my collection is small right now but it shall grow...

I Always read the description or the About page when i want to know something lol xD but this video was really helpful :D

[@ralex3697]

Ami Ami owns me Great site, I have 6 pre orders and expect to do another 6

[@NendoNow]

Got a ton of pre-orders too.

[@Ose93]

Those real feelings in the intro though. XD I use AmiAmi all the time, but didn't know about some of these things. I didn't know you could check "Pre-Owned" when you are looking through categories. And oh gosh, glad to see Pallet Town is in Cali. ;)

[@NendoNow]

Of course! Pallet Town West Coast represent! XD

[@tynem.6316]

Believe it or not, there was an A grade box two days ago and if my memory serves me well, it was one of the prize figures made by SEGA.

[@the_nightmare_anime7869]

could you tell me how much you pay for shipping?

[@lol-jd8fh]

i think you can go check

[@MashiroShiina]

i saw a Nene Anegasaki Nendoroid on FB nendoroid marketplace group for $10 😢 already sold rip, thats like the cheapest nendoroid i've seen

[@thelitaku995]

I've been using Amiami wrong this whole time...

[@trashywindbag7263]

hi Nendo! I have a question about the pre-order on amiami . On your videos you said that if you pre-order directly form GoodSmile you get the bonus. Does than means that if you pre-order from amiami you dont get the bonus parts? Sorry for my english and I love your channel bye

[@NendoNow]

Correct.

[@SorNekful]

Awesome tutorials thanks. I have a question, when you click the paypal option will your paypal account be automatically linked to Ami ami?

[@Wriki]

I have seen an A grade on a box in preowned before but it wasn't on a nendoroid, but yes majority of the time it's going to be a B box just so they are covered. Mind if I refer to your vid when I get around to putting my guide/tips out?

[@NendoNow]

Don't mind at all :D

[@AirMasterNeo]

Most Important thing, do not Have to many Cancellation or they will close your account.

[@NendoNow]

Oh yeah, that's true. I forgot to mention cause I've never cancelled anything on amiami before.

[@NendoNow]

Pre-owned starts @ 7:10

[@JorritV]

Maybe it's time I start buying pre-owned Nendo's to save some money. Always was kinda scared that the box might be damaged even if was a B. But if you say you can't see anything, I might give pre-owned a go! Thanks for the great video. Wish I stumbled earlier on your channel. :) (All those great Nendo's that I missed...) :s

[@NendoNow]

Be warned they still could have some damage as a B box, but in my experience, having bought dozens of pre-owned nendos from amiami, they've been in very good condition.

[@JorritV]

But if it means I can have one of my favourite Nendo's (who aren't available anymore), I'm willing to take the risk. Sadly I discovered them pretty late, so I missed out on all the ones from older animes. :/ Thanks for the quick reply!

[@NendoNow]

Np! Amiami's pre-owned section is a great place to find older nendoroids. And it's constantly updated.

[@N4nAnCh]

most of the information is new for me

[@fadedvalentia]

One thing you don't mention is that the selection of pre-owned's literally change daily. Check back every day at around 7~PST to see the new arrivals =)

[@NendoNow]

That's right! Gotta make sure to check everyday before someone gets that grail!

Nendo got a question was the preorder base and sleeve really worth it for the bonus , cause am not sure

[@NendoNow]

Only person that can answer that is you. Worth it for me cause I want it.

[@oikawaiitoru1949]

Can I ask how to use the point rewarded system? And what is the best shipping method?

[@lizziejean435]

Umm what does it mean if orders closed ? This particular item i like i want to have isnt there how would i know that "particular item " is back and What is back order ?? ?_?

[@NendoNow]

If an order is closed that means no more orders are being taken. I don't think amiami has alerts so you'll just have to check if re-releases happen. Back order means not in stock, and you can order but it will take awhile and it could still be cancelled.

[@LadyLauboZ]

great vid!! i've never brought from ami ami only from there ebay store cos shipping is included in the price, it always puts me off not know the shipping right away, that and i like paying for my preorder items right away so I don't have to worries bout it & i know we're my moneys at ,can you pay straite away on ami ami for perorders?,or do they only do pay once it releases/ships?? :3 .

[@NendoNow]

Only when it's released since shipping isn't calculated till then. And thanks Lauren! :)

[@rachussendou4006]

I am gonna preorder today

[@NendoNow]

Awesome! :)

[@victorm6659]

1. Can you use visa? 2. If you pre-order an item do you insert the money on your account or do you have to put the money when the day the nendoroid comes out?

[@NendoNow]

1.Yes 2. No, They don't charge you until it ships and you authorize through a separate email, which I say in the video, if you watched it.

[@sanjiboon771]

Alot of pre owned stuff are only buyable in japan :(

[@jon-rk1yi]

my order says "Processing Order (Paid), how long do i have to wait?

[@NendoNow]

The only time I used ami ami is for my Subaru from diabolik lovers plush and it costed my dad 60 bucks... so i am scared to ask my dad for a haikyuu nendoroid

[@owl9660]

I got 2 questions 1. I heard that EMS loses you package and I want to know if that’s true. 2. If a Nendoroid you want has a order close where else can I buy? Btw thx I love your content

[@NendoNow]

Micro Gamer I’ve used EMS for years never had an issue. Same with SAL. If the order is closed then you just have to get lucky and find it used somewhere like amiami preowned or some where else that sells used nendoroids cause good smile rarely does re-releases.

[@owl9660]

No, because I don't buy from individual people only large stores like amiami and good smile company, and I haven't had any issues with them. And glad you're enjoying Sore ga Seiyuu!

[@denisarendlova8154]

I have a slight question if you are buying anime figures for me 4 figures i chose are 1491 in czech or how would i say 7100JPY but i am guessing the shipping to Czech rep. would be quiet expensive. So if i paid thru credit card does anyone here know how much the shipping to czech would be ?? ( i don't really wanna spend more then 2-3k on 4 figures dope)

[@esraa3426]

How much is the shipping?

[@erikadical5641]

if im not remembering wrong the cheapest was 11$ then it went to 15$ and the fastest i don’t remember the price i never look at those 💀

[@128gb2]

How much is the shipping cost? I didn't see it when you check out

[@oikawaiitoru1949]

Why the Nendoroid I was looking for to GoodSmile Company is always not available :(

[@NendoNow]

If it's sold out, it's not coming back unless good smile does a re-release which is usually pretty rare and only for very popular nendoroids. Otherwise you should check the used section on amiami.

[@Samsapopin]

Can you use a virtual credit card or a Paypal cash card on AmiAmi? I'm planning on pre-ordering a Pokemon Serena G.E.M figure; which isn't coming till April and I think I saved enough for a virtual credit card. The figure's $73. So, I'm guessing it'll be $30 just to ship it to the eastern U.S. Right?

[@NendoNow]

Not sure, email Amiami directly.

[@TestTest-cb5cd]

Ngl, this is kinda nitpicky but when saying konnichi wa, you have to hold the "n". It's literally 今(kon)日(nichi)は(ha but it's pronounced wa).

[@NendoNow]

Thanks for subbing, the price varies greatly based on weight and where it's going and shipping method. You can contact amiami directly for a price quote because I don't wanna give you an inaccurate estimate.

[@cruzita6307]

okay thank you!!

[@salatino4604]

Let’s say i made a pre-order with my credit card, when the product come in stock will I automatically pay for it or i will have to do it manually?

Hey best delivery to use when shipping to the UK? first time figure buyer here!

[@NendoNow]

Not sure, I live in the US so I don't have to pay custom fees on anything, I don't know how that translates to shipping in the UK.

[@100gecer9]

What if the owner of the pre-owned item lied about the conditions of the item?

[@raye48]

If I remember correctly, AmiAmi goes through all of their products themselves, so they shouldn't lie about it.

[@sNDuma]

Hi so I recently ordered 2 nendoroids and I am still a bit confused about the "Max quantity per household." I have bought a pre-owned figure which has a max of 1 and a new with a max of 3. I have also combined the order. Does this mean one of them is going to get cancelled?

[@NendoNow]

No, "Max quantity per household" means that for new, three of that same nendoroid is the max you can buy. For example if you're buying 4 Megumin nendoroids, one will be cancelled because the max is three. You can buy as many nendoroids as you want. For pre-owned one is the max because they only have one of that item.

[@mistysuzumiya]

I’m confused. I’m about to make my first purchase and I’m ordering a bunch of preorder items that have different release months. Does AmiAmi automatically spilt the order by month? For rearrangement options do I choose “ship with this order” or “combine monthly order”? I can’t find the answer anywhere

[@NendoNow]

Since your orders are different months it doesn't matter which you pick. It'll ship out the month it comes out per item. So you'll pay separate shipping each time.

[@sowat2609]

thanks, really helped

[@NendoNow]

Micro Gamer Amiami charges based on weight, type of shipping method, and location of where it’s going. Obviously the more you order the heavier it will be and thus will cost more. Can’t give you a specific number because there are too many factors. Cost typically ranges from $10 USD to $20+ USD

[@cheriesullivan358]

Do you have to pay all in one go or can you pay in installments?

[@Quantum_ShotsTV]

when do they restock again?

[@NendoNow]

They don't. Nendoroid releases are limited print run. If it says back-order, maybe they'll get more in otherwise it's sold out. Either hope for a re-release from Good Smile or find a pre-owned version.

[@Jacqueline_Juarez]

I know this would be stupid to ask but when you pre-order an pay with credit do they take the money in the month it comes out or they ask you for it please it would be useful if you would answer my question

This is probably a dumb question but will sold out Nendoroids permanently stay sold out or will they get restocked? Cuz if been looking for a Sakura Miku for ages but I can only find fakes and all the originals are always sold out.

Nendoroids are limited run, so unless they get a re-release. They are sold out for good. You'll only find Sakura Miku pre-owned / after market. Look through amiami's pre-owned section and you might get lucky.

[@danielalmaraz8990]

Ah ok, I might try to find a pre-owned one then, thanks. Is there any chance of it being a bootleg or is AmiAmi guaranteed to be real? The site says that they're 100% authentic but that only mentions it about ones in stock and not pre-owned

[@NendoNow]

Amiami = legit

[@danielalmaraz8990]

Thanks! I recently bought a S-Style Rem swimsuit figure from a convention and even thought it looks mostly legit the base is different to the one I see on all images, it resembles a transparent blue cog and all the images I can find have a plain transparent plastic base. I'm not sure if it's fake or not but since then I've been very pedantic about bootleg products. Edit: Just found out that the base I got is standard sooo, mine is fully legit and isn't bootleg!
