Figma Reimu. Everytime I have enough to buy her I put it off because it's so much for a figma. Then I wait and her price goes up again.

I damn know what you mean... but it's not over yet.
I'm sick of losing chances and I finally convinced myself that this is one nice worthy Reimu to have. So I'm waiting for my new Paypal to fucking activate and try, now or never, to get one of the last affordable ones on ebay.

Ok, but... wtf am I reading? ಠ_ಠ
Taxes ans shipping apart, I can see it can really be cheaper. But I don't understand a thing there, wich is I guess the main reason for I always need of intermediaries between me and distributors. So: how do you manage to buy there, Tohno? is there a way a non moon speaker can find his way there (soon)?

yes, I bought two there, and marinas go for about 30 on average.
Of course there is the problem of having to find a proxy bidder, because most sellers wont ship outside of japan, and don't accept paypal, and probably not credit cards, not sure how their system works really.
I normally use babelfish for translating pages, and I've been using goodyjapan for the proxy bidding.
I used rinkya before, but they had some real fags working for them, and I rather not go into it.
Goodyjapan has a site that looks like crap, but they work well.
just so you know, there are other charges as said earlier.
first they have this "bank fee" thing, which is always 300yen from what I've seen, then you have "domestic shipping" (shipping from the seller to the proxy bidder), for that you'll want to find out where your proxy bidder is located in japan, and see how much the seller charges to ship there, if they even list it, sellers more often though list shipping price as the responsibility of the buyer. and then there's commision which is around 500 or 600 yen per item.
So you should keep that in mine, the average fig might cost you 1500 yen - 2000 yen extra because of that stuff, before the cost of shipping to you of course., but sometimes shipping might be free, or the fig might be so cheep it makes it still worth it.
>> No. 130 [Edit]
>>129
>proxy bidder
Absolutely yeah: it is a problem since I know no one there. It's also a pain in the ass to consider all those coin exchange/aditional taxes variables myself, and I'm always affraid I can fuck things up. That's why the only time, up to now, that I got a fig. directly from Japan distributors, was when I used the service of a local small company who had the proper connections; and they did a very good job, but they have still a very restricted list of products/distributors they deal with and, at least for now, they don't manage any Touhou related merchandise (not at all popular enough here, so I guess it isn't very reliable for them)...

Anyway: I'm now searching stuff on Goody-japan and Noppin (from Necrosage's >>127), both in sales and auctions. This got to be of some help; thanks a lot, both of you.

I bought her for $80, and I don't regret it in the slightest; she's by far my favorite figma. What I really regret was waiting until I went on vacation to Japan to buy the Marisa figma. I thought since I could actually go to the Toranoana store, it would still be in stock. Wrong.

Found this Orin plush and a small figure of her pushing her wheelbarrow together up for sale on ebay almost a year ago. The listing was $50 or something around there, and I figured it was a pretty good deal considering the cost of most Touhou plushes and that the figure was almost $40 by itself. I had the money but decided to sleep on it, and when I got up the next day I had decided to buy them. But they had been sold. I have never seen that plush for sale since, and I can't bring myself to pay for that figure by itself...That will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Not gonna lie to you: I've searched for this one like mad. It seems to be all out of stock on Japanese stores. I found it for $213.33 here:

http://japanese-anime-manga.jp/code/69AEE62F3450CA292840D03B604B68C7

It's still extremely expensive; but considering that any other I've found ranges from $433.80 to$464.00, wel... the only option left would be to hope that it gets reprinted wich isn't likely, is it?

Me too... I've seen comments of dudes on collectibles blogs, wonderig why the standard school uniform figure wasn't released first. I'm not normally interested on echi/h figures, wich is why I didn't first pay attention to this one; but Sora's character grew on me, and I ended up really liking Megahouse and 4 Leaves sculpting. I'm not interested in the gym removable clothes one, tought; but seems to be selling well too.

1: If you have a phone with internet access, or an mp3 player with wifi, and there is a wifi hotspot, go to your favourite retailers and look for it. If it is a better price (factoring in shipping), definitely go for it.
2: Ask vendors about availability, see if it is indeed the last in stock
3: check to make sure nothing is missing or damaged.
4: If all of this is true, don't go anywhere else in the room, buy that shit.

Also sometimes they will sell things for way low at the end of Sunday, especially large items. It's a scramble, and you should watch your finances, but you will regret things you don't do more than things you actually do, I think.

I am not from Florida. I moved there to go to college. I stayed in Cape Canaveral at the time. Nah, Florida just isn't my thing. Yeah it was fun living the beach life for a few years living at one of my fathers condos. Its not for me though. I am from Maryland. I like the mountains, change of season and wide open space and all the fun that comes along with it. Also it feels a bit cleaner/fresh air up here.

If you are from Florida and really want to get out, all I can say is remember that place is your home and there will always (at least in my case) be a intangible little thing that makes it unique and special to you. It may not really be that bad.

This is the first real time I have posted here on Tohno-chan after lurking for about six months. What really got me to post was that Holo figure and it was a really fun conicidence that you mentioned that convention. It was the first one I ever went to. 2010. I have been to three other ones since then.

Anyways, I got lots of unique content I think its finally about time to share with everyone. There is a surprising lack of Liru here on Tohno-Chan and I hope to change that some.

Um... To make this post relevant I am still on the hunt for a very rare Liru figure. I have contacted the manufacturer and even went through proxys with no luck.

Here, have a pic of a dakimakura I got custom made of Liru. I have pictures of her from all around the land I live (238 acres)

I've thought of getting a dakimakura myself but do not live alone and probably won't do so until I turn around 22 or 23. (In around 3-4 years).

this has just managed to slip past me or be out of my price range every time I find one. Its becoming agonizing. The thing almost worse than this is that its rarely far out of the price range but the other two girls (Airy and Emil) are only getting Volks exclusives in their regular day to day outfits. All 3 are getting kotobukiya swimsuit figures, which is cool, but I want them in their regular outfits.
