Anyone have any idea the average time the ferry service Nippon yasan uses takes to ship something? I ordered that onsen Momohime my self but she still hasn't come yet. Just want to know if the two months they say is the average.
Do you guys set up a monthly/yearly budget or do you just buy anything that you like?
>>142450326
up to three months.
>>142450326
Why would you put her on a boat?
>>142450587
So she could fight the octopus boss, of course.
I had to roll up some of my wall scrolls for a few months and now that I'm ready to put them back up again I've noticed one of them has a big crease in the middle. What's the best way to flatten it? I don't have an iron or anything like that.
>>142451432
Broseph, a regular iron with no fancy features is like $10.
>>142451456
And I'm not buying one just for these wall scrolls if there's an easier way to get rid of it. Wouldn't just hanging them up again remove the crease naturally over time?
>>142450295
>harrison.jpg
>>142451515
Niggles, you can use it on your clothes and shit. Or perhaps other anime fabrics you'll get in the future. I guess you could put something flat and heavy on the crease and leave it over night
>>142451515
Do you not iron your clothes?
Post your preorders!

You put the effort into writing a reply, didn't'cha?

Yes. I took the time to type all that out rather than just do some repetitious copy-pasting, and yet felt the need to use an acronym that only reduced the total amount of typing by 7 letters.

I browse NekoMagic, and follow both Hobby-Search and AmiAmi on Twitter to keep up-to-date on releases personally.
>>142452248
Yes, but I didn't read your post past the first line.
>>142450535
Ah alright. At least i have an idea now.
>>142450587
That was the cheapest option at the time. Considering how long it takes though next time I'm not going to cheap out as much.
>>142452624
She's probably at the bottom of the ocean right now.
>>142452681
You can't hear her scream underwater.
>>142451690
No need to get triggered over being called out on your tumblrfaggot way of speaking. I just put them on a flat table with weighted boxes on top, that should do the trick.
If not, I guess I'll just rebuy them.
>>142451432
The bottom of a pot filled with hot/boiling water can work as an iron would. Just always have a buffer fabric you don't care about between the thing you're smoothing out and the hot stuff so you don't fuck it up somehow.
If you don't have a way of boiling water, you should kill yourself.

Definitely going to save up $200 for next year, it's the final day and I'm helping a guy pack in exchange for free stuff, not that I mind.
>>142453369
But I did, almost immediately. I just don't have one because I haven't ever had a use for one until this very moment.
>>142453464
Cons tend to not have good prices and there is a high risk of bootlegs.
What free stuff?
When will they finally paint this ass?
>>142453507
Not really sure. It's a maximum of 4 hours of work, so I'm guessing he'll let me take one of the lower priced figures ($40 or less). Worst case scenario I walk away with a High School DXD wall scroll.
The guy had a really nice selection imo, but it's probably average to you guys. If I get anything I'll post it in the thread later in the evening.
>>142449895
I use them as makeshift stands at my office, since table level isn't best for display.

Did you see those reviews/ratings?, seems that she didn't turned out nice.
>>142454428
If you spent that much and don't really care about learning how to paint GKs, why not spend less than half that and commission someone to paint her for you?

She may become either Senjougahara's figure or Kiss-shot's figure value - go up a lot or bin. I actually think it might be the latter.

I have never seen the customs updates on any of my packages, ever, and they all go through ISC NY. At least I assume they're going through, but I never see the status for it. Odd how the tracking seems to be different for everyone.
I've never had an express package sit there for 5 days though. Whenever I use EMS it's usually in and out in a day or so.
>>142465607
Really on the fence about that Aion figure at the moment. Wish I could've snagged the Dark Elf ones in time, but that's a bit late now.
>>142451585
Sure why not. Thinking of adding Alter's new Alter and OS' Shadow Wing, but something keeps me from ordering them every time I look through their pictures.

Me too anon. Too bad all we're getting now is swordshit and even Altiar has jumped on the idol bandwagon. Orange Route initially looked very promising but all series they've even targeting have made me lose all faith in them. Still waiting on Altair though.

>>142454428
Pro-tip, now that you have that equipment get a fucking hobby out of it. Buy some cheap-shit GKs and get some skills up before you work on her. I mean, the point of GKing is that you actually have fun doing it. The point isn't really just a finished figure.

I'm so glad I bought him back when they did the renewal.
How's Kusuriyuri? Is he as zombie-looking as the promos made me believe? It's too late for now, but I'm curious. Are you happy with your copy?
>>142448610
I hate pictures like this, they make even decent figures look like shit.
>>142466814
I hate that 90% of the male figures we do get are 1/8 with the character in his default outfit just standing around. The touran ones are especially bad in this regard.
>>142448610
Can anyone here recommend a good display shelf for figures?
I'm looking for something simple with square sections and adjustable heights, sort of like the Ikea Billy but made with higher quality wood.
>>142475412
This. All male figs should be 1/7, they look too small compared to female figs otherwise.
>>142475412
Yeah that does suck, seems to be changing little by little though
I mean look, we have our first male lewd, and what a lewd. It's a step on the moon for figure making.
I personally don't wish to buy him or care about the character but I recognize the accomplishment
I live in Canada, will I go to jail for buying this?

>>142476020
Yes. Lolis are illegal
Spent about half an hour trying the pot of boiling water as an iron thing, it didn't really make much of a difference. I'm thinking now my next best option is to hang them up, stretch them nice and taut, then cover them with a foam board and tape it really tightly to the wall then leave them like that for a while.
>>142474853
Because I'm willing to spend fiscally irresponsible amounts of money on any from pic related.
>>142477030
Just google it, there were a couple people who had websites / deviant art pages that accept commissions, last I checked. But it's going to be very expensive, not only because of their costs but because most of them wont work on recasts so you'll have to find original kits.
>>142476075
It'd be nice to have a little set of them.
>>142477030
Top left HAS to be picked up by someone, right?
It can't stay GK forever, right?
>>142477030
It would be cheaper and easier for you to learn how to do it yourself. I'm serious, if you're willing to spend hundreds for someone else to paint it for you, you might as well buy an airbrush and some putty and shit and try doing it yourself.
>>142477030
I would ovropay for dress shirt taiga if even a midlle tier place picked it up.
>>142476020

Get two or three cheap ones to practice with, GKs are extremely forgiving, moreso than gunpla.
Where do you guys buy body pillows for dakis? The one I have for my Mio cover is too short and narrow. Most of the ones I see don't hit the right size.
>>142477529
That's probably not the case, basing it off that guy that bought a set of GK supplies recently and spent like $700 on them.
Would probably a bit more than half that to get one commissioned
>>142476020

>>142478013
You need to find a forwarder.
>>142478685
I wouldn't base your opinion off some retard who bought way more shit than he's going to need, and picked an extremely complicated design as his first kit. You could probably get everything you need to for under $200.
>>142478913
That's painting with a brush rather than airbrush I assume?
If you can start for $200 then that doesn't seem that bad, might look into it at some point.
>>142478893
any idea of how to contact someone?
>>142479137
>guide buyfag.moe
In the guide.
>>142479123
Forgot to add "handbrush" after "everything you need to", but yes.
Airbrushes aren't that expensive either, if you eventually want to go that way. The guides in the buyfag guide are actually really good, give them a glance if you do decide to try it.
Was extremely excited for this one, though the box is way sparklyer then I was imaging.
>>142479323
Didn't know the guide had a gk section, haven't looked at it since it was moved to a wiki, thanks I'll have a look.
Would you say handbrushing is significantly harder than airbrushing or are they essentially separate skills with similar skill curves?
>>142479644
What color are her nipples?
>>142479323
Why would anyone handbrush?
>>142477030
I would offer, but I just started doing GKs. I'm going to start working on that top Shinobu soon.
>>142479795
Handbrushing isn't really hard at all, I hate painting and failed every art class I had to take in school but I didn't have too many problems when I first tried.
>>142480178
Because it's less expensive and is a good way to practice or try out making garage kits if you're not sure you want to blow lots of money on it. You can go out and spend $300 on an airbrush and a compressor, but unless you already know how to paint anime figures it's going to look like shit. Having more expensive tools doesn't make up for lack of knowledge, and handbrushing lets you learn that stuff without spending a lot of money while still getting a good end product you won't feel embarrassed of and throw away.

UK Buyfags, have you ever had customs fuck up with charging you? They've overcharged me by £140 and I wanna know your experiences with them if any.

why is everyone preordering the muramasa scale? thought nobody played that game.
>>142480502
What I'm really waiting for is pictures from under Saber's skirt.
>>142481412
Never been over charged before. Just call them up or go to the depot where your things being held and tell them you've been overcharged and how it should be X amount
>>142481412
Try calling them , I do remember reading that sometimes they will tell you to pay the charge and then claim the money back with a form , or just dont pay get it sent back to store and ask them to resend it , that is if shipping is not too expensive
>tfw almost everything from April and May got pushed to June
>>142481828

How silly would it be to just order one keychain? I really just want this one keychain and nothing else.
>>142483006
Use USAL if possible.
I want to buy loli doujins
Any britfags in the same boat? Will I be arrested?
>>142483059
if you send it usal and they just put it in a mailer it should only be 3 or 4 bucks to ship
>>142483178
You're fine famalam
>>142483178
become a muslim and they can't touch you
>>142483178
You're fine.
even if it's "illegal", in Canada (where I am, at least) they don't even arrest you for receiving contraband in the mail (usually)
for example, even if you order cocaine in the mail and they open it and find the drugs they won't come to your house and arrest you, they'll just confiscate it and send you a letter
obviously you probably shouldn't do it again if that happens, but if you aren't caught you'll be fine
do any forwarders ship adult items? buyee and FJ won't let me buy the daki I want
>>142483434
lol, in the USA, our mail service is run by the federal government, and customs checks virtually all international mail. I dunno if it's like that for you britbongs, but since your govt has an ACTUAL stance on loli, I'd suggest discretion.
>>142483178
Literally only one person has ever been convicted in the UK. And in that situation it was when his computer was seized, so it had nothing to do with importing. So far those laws are totally unenforced.
If I can ship weed through customs you should be a-ok.
>>142483515
I several years of buyfagging I've never had ANYTHING opened by customs, they just tax it based on the value on the invoice and xray it for drugs/guns/pigs, if it's just a book it'll pass without issue
>>142483610
What about dakis or figs? Will those pass?
>>142483515
Burger here.
Customs doesn't do jack shit.
