オンラインショッピング

LOL, I've never ordered anything online before...
@Danny
What sites do you usually order from? And how do you know if that person you're ordering from is not like your good friend costumejunkie? For now I'll just do things old school, go out and buy it myself...

Lol, don't worry about making too much posts Danny. It makes your usual readers all the more happier. ^^ anyway i get most of my stuff offline. My lastest catch would be a akatauki mishiro, 2 speed grade gundam and a HG dendrobium. ^^

lostandfound,
Most of the online stores in Japan are pretty honest.
Most of my stuff is from Amazon or Rakuten.

Kyon's little sister name is Imouto. XD

I always order my stuff online as they tend to be either cheaper or always have the good stuff offered early. Good things are difficult to come by in my place. If there are good stuff, it'll likely be a lot pricier than those found in online shops.

i like that you posted a lot of image posts, it keeps the site looking more active and their easy for you (i think)
you should keep it up!

@Danny,
Do you do your development work on the mac mini server or just upload to it? Thinking of using my current mini as a server when I upgrade next year

i have tried buying online once (borrowed my elder brothers credit card ) and i really enjoyed it and i would buy other stuff online in the future and once i get my very own credit card lolz ^____^

I love online shopping, the only drawback is you have to wait at least a day to get your goods...

OOOhhhhh.... I want that Mai PVC on your desk Danny ^^ Gimmi Gimmi!!

I tried once online with Animewild.com and they never looked at my order, so I gave up on that. And I tried HLJ recently, pre-orded Rei (Shunya edition) I will wait and see how is the service and everything. And I also compared the price, gunpla is about the same price as my local retailer, but PVC they are at least 10-20 canadian dollars cheaper. I am waiting to get a new job and hopefully increase my collection. so far Needa is the must buy one ^^ Danny, you should visit GoodSmile more often and see when they gonna release Needa :D

Grab most of my goods online, unless I'm in Japan with a free flow of cash and otaku stores around ^^;

*Grabs Danny's MacMini and runs*

care to review that mai figure? :D

I'd love to buying online but here where I live online shopping is still under alpha development or it's not available in many cases. Therefore, I am buying offline and so happy when I get lucky and find something cool. If any of my friends from abroad would come and visit me, they would bring some stuff for me.

I'm still a student that does occasional freelance so i guess i wouldnt know how life in the work-lane is but is this a common thing about peeps or are you danny just on a spending spree every other day? save your money man, or can you afford to spend like this when you "grow up"?

Exclusively online. Of course, here in the backwater, I'm surprised we don't have to order our groceries online.

If I am to buy a Figure or Japanese import, of course, I’ll have to order online, for what store am I going to find those at here. If I am going to buy Laundry Detergent, then I’ll make that trip to the store, I cut down on the shipping price and I get outside, away from the house/work for awhile.

i buy all my stuffs offline cos i don't have a credit card. ('~')

Leo,
Dev is done on my MacBook but checked in via CVS to the Mini.

atomusku,
Dont know what you mean? Please elaborate.

Bele,
Coming soon ^^;

im a student so im used to little money (if that) and i live in sweden so the tax on products is like 25% on everything, so im not used to go on spending sprees. Is it different in japan? when buying electronics, toys and anime? also, how does it feel growing up, because i'll soon be in an "adult" so im guessing alot of responsibility is involved, how does buying alot of stuff work with planning the future?

sorry if it sounds rude or anything, thats not my intention, i am just curious, cause my views on adulthood involves alot of spending on toys (for me)

Danny i want that Black Mai with humongous eyes +_+; where can i get one? lol

nice haul danny. and to answer your questions, I do most of my figure and anime purchasing online, mostly from amazon, HLJ, and some other places, I also have a friend that lives in japan and I get him to buy me some things and ship them over, usually a lot cheaper that way.

ps. would've prefered a red mai, I think her traditional colors look much better on her

I usually buy online as a last resort usually because the shipping is so expensive when tacted onto the price and I like to check out the merchandise for any defects in person before purchasing...

but anyways, does anyone know when figures are released in the U.S.? It seems that figures get released in Japan first then releases later in other countries...I was hoping to know when I can get that Mai figure...any tip is appreciated...

For really hard to find stuff, always the online, but more usual things, best on shops...

atomusku,
Hope this post answers your question

Zyg,
I received it as a sample but I think it was a limited edition at a show ^^;

qingy,
Red is nice but purple was a nice change too - review soon ^^;

Silent 1134,
As soon as they are released over here they usually become available on online stores for you to get in the US.

impressive, i hope it wont end too soon though. for the record, didnt mean as something offensive, it was only curiosity, since your not hesitating it means you are doing your thing, congrats! if anything i have to say that it was quite inspiring to have read that, all the best to you //a

oh it's purple? lol too bad it's limited ed =( guess i'll have to stick with the red one

;_;...
