AmiAmi

AmiAmi is a figure retailer in Japan and according to some folks in the biz, they are the biggest in terms of sales.
Some folks form AmiAmi came along to the Tokyo Figure Show party last week and you can see pictures at the AmiAmi Blog which includes a snap of my mai musume Saber.
They also done this most cutesome illustration of figma Mirai@TFS for us! Expect to see more of AmiAmi around here ^^
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Same here. They probably have a much much greater share of the pie if they went international. I would be a customer if they did.
Hopefully they will hear this.

Yeah, I wish they shipped international too, they have good prices, and the overall look of their site is nice. Plus they have a cute mascot! :D

Can not a place such as Japan to Door do this? err what was the name....yes that was the name. Almost forgot! *bookmarks* In the future they will come in handy for me. ^^
Saw the illustration earlier today and thought, "Oh! What a cute Mirai~~ !!"

Haven't really delved into the figure selling scene, i've yet to be accustomed to the big retailers. I'm sure i'll start with one of the biggest, AmiAmi!
So, hopefully AmiAmi will be supplying Figma Mirai. ^^
That image they drew up is great.

^^; As the others have said...AmiAmi doesn't ship international. They don't have an English site either.
If you're looking to start, the big retailers online are Hobby Search and Hobby Link Japan.

Yup, heard of 'em. Far too many times reading about figures that only they had. *cries in corner*
I had a much more lengthy experience with them a couple months back. I found a GSC metal Tachikoma on sale from them, and the deal was so good I braved the Japanese interface with my intermediate grasp of the language and registered. I even went as far as to set up a Japanese address via Tenso to get around their not shipping internationally.
I even placed my order. Then, as I puzzled over why they didn't ask for my credit card number, I realized they only accepted bank transfers. I looked into bank transfers, how to do them with a Japanese bank internationally, how addresses are organized and written in Japan, and spent hours looking through a number of Japanese sites to figure it all out.
Then I finally realized that the exchange rate and service fees the bank would charge me far offset any deal the sale was. My last hurdle was composing a letter in Japanese to AmiAmi support to cancel.
>_> In the end, a lot of wasted time, and no gain save for all the random information I learned. Which wasn't bad...but seriously, I'd be so much happier if they ever decide to ship international. x_x

I've heard of AmiAmi and for some reason most of their items are 30-50% off retail~!
Too bad they don't do international shiping...

Love AmiAmi, too bad no international shipping.
They have great stuff though!

Oh yeah, I visit their site once and awhile. Even tho I can't read the text or order from them, I still go to check out the prices as they seem more in tune with what price you'd find the item for within Japan. Maybe one day I'll click and find they'll have english, and a international order form...
Student, Uncle & hopfully a good husband..
They have just recently caught my eyes...wonder why i don't see much of their works?....

Like a few other members already said, the only bad thing about AmiAmi is that they don't do international shipping. T_T

amiami have always been the place for me to check out on figures. since they are always one of the first with the latest news/pictures of new or soon-to-be-release products. and those photos of the figures in there helps me a lot on deciding what i want to get.

The international shipping is easy to get around nowadays with the likes of Tenso etc
But oooo the Japanese interface...
still trying to figure it out...

Yeah I knew about Amiami thru DC. I usually check the quality of upcoming figures there. It's just so unfortunate that they do not do international sales (sigh of relief from HLJ and Hobby search) as they would make a killing on selling figures internationally. Nice Mirai illustration BTW.

Ayiyi! I love that Mirai so much! Very cutesome ^^
I've heard of AmiAmi because I go through Moeyo.com all the time and they put in reports about figure preorders from AmiAmi. I almost bought something from there using Tenso.
