Sale and Deal Posts

Posts regarding websites with everyday low prices/reliable sellers are prohibited.

No 'looking to buy' posts - if you need help finding a figure online, that's fine, but please don't solicit users. Please do not make sales offers to other users unless you have an active sale post.

Individual sellers offering a piece are OK as long as your sale follows ALL of these rules:

  • All sale/trade posts must include [Sale] or [Trade] in the text of the title in brackets.
  • All sales/trades must be in a self-post (text post) format.
  • All sales must be priced.
  • A date+name stamped photo of the figure(s) for sale/trade must be provided. Handwrite your reddit username and the current date on a piece of paper and photograph that alongside the items for sale. See the wiki for more details on what we expect from a verification photo.
  • For large sales, lists of figures should match images accordingly in groups of 10 (See the wiki for more info).
  • eBay listings must have a 'Buy it Now' option
  • Your account must be at least 3 months old.
  • One sale/trade post per user every 7 days.

Self-promotion is tolerated (linking to your own site/blog/channel), but please be aware that if the mods do not feel like you contribute enough to the community outside of your own posts, your self promoting post(s) will be removed.

Question concerning Revy Nendoroid

Hi

Does anyone own this figure? Can someone tell me if the end of the stand is supposed to snap all the way into her back? I can't seem to get it in all the way, and the most I can push it, it's not very secure and can easily fall off. All other pieces snap in all the way so it's flush.

Thanks

Fabric dye stains on Snail Shell Victoria

So I made the rookie mistake of storing Victoria with her headdress without putting something between the figure and the fabric, now she has a few stains where there was contact between them (on the butt and forearms).

Any advice on a removing these stains would be appreciated. I've been eyeing the Magic Eraser method and/or the Benzoyl Peroxide method, but I'm not sure whether these are safe considering the size of the parts affected.

How to avoid ripping, tearing and bending figure boxes?

I'm new to figure collecting, and the three figure boxes I still own, I destroyed by accident. I bought a nendoroid last week, and while attempting to open the box, it wouldn't open, so I used force and ended up tearing it off, which really frustrated me because I wanted to display the box on my shelf. Another figure I bought wouldn't open, and when I finally opened it I saw I tore right through the inside and had to throw it out.

I literally don't know how to open my boxes without using force, which ends up ripping them and destroying them. I want to buy new boxes and display them on my shelf, without decimating them. Any advice?

Who gets unboxed next?

As a belated Halloween gift my friends are taking me out to play crane games.

I hope to get at least one I like but that means I should open one more I already have.

date: alive’s box got a little crushed when I moved so maybe she is a good choice but I need to get a new shelf.

Which one would you guys pick?

Amiami - optimal small packet shipping?

Hi!

I started collecting anime figures recently, and just "discovered" the amiami site, which probably ALL of you know.

I made my first order yesterday as a test to compare the change between the price I see on the screen and the price I end up paying once I have the figure in the hand. I ordered a Nami (One Piece) figure which was 6.580 JPY, and got the shipping for 2.050 JPY (Registered Air Small Packet).

My estimation is that adding a +20% (import taxes in Austria), I will end up paying:
6.580 (figure) + 2.050 (shipping) + 1.319 (import tax) = 9.946 JPY = 60€

Not so bad for the figure I ordered! But now I'm wondering.. is there a way to optimize the shipping costs adding more figures to the order? Would it drastically change the shipping price?

I checked in their site but couldn't find any info about what's exactly a "small packet". The only thing I found is this "Air/SAL Small Packet shipments are restricted to 2 kg in weight and 90 cm in size". Which it's not super clear to me, since a figure is measured in 3d and I can't understand what those 90cm mean (the sum of the cm in HxWxL? meaning that if a figure is 22x9x9 that's 40cm?).

So, in resume, I'm asking here about your experiences. How do you optimize packaging? How many figures can I fit in a "small packet"? Of course I know it depends on the figure, but let's think about "normal" 1/8 figures with no scenery, like this one for example:
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIG-IPN-1175-R

Thanks to anyone replying!

Wrong shipping method??

Hello guys, today I received a surprise when a package arrived at my door, I wasn't expecting nothing today and I thought "it must be something a forgot" but when I opened it it was a figure that I bought through surface parcel a month ago in hobby genki, they took almost 3 weeks for ship it and I received the shipping notification on 23/10/2024 and today she arrived, only EMS have 1 week shipping time and I don't know if they just selected the wrong method or if it was a way to apologize fpr the delay, Has something similar happened to someone else?
