Wheres the link to buy some?

Could you get the magic knight rayearth sp figures?

You have an Alucard castkevania nendoroid?

This is a tough business. Good luck!

Amiami pre-owned, Mandarake, Solaris, MyFigureCollection, sales posts here, Mercari, Yahoo Auctions JP….

Just keep in mind that “rare” figures typically go fast, so you need to stay on top of it… I saw a Revy bunny sell in 40 seconds after amiami listed it one time. Edit: spelling

Giving an answer that hasn't been listed already

Honestly Facebook marketplace can be really fucking good; I've gotten some grails BNIB for essentially retail price. Just always keep an eye out and follow some figure selling pages.

Gumtree and similar platforms can be good too since not many people will check there

Obviously ask for photos of the figure / box to ensure its legitimate and not a bootleg as some people will try to write off a bootleg as authentic.

Good luck!

TOM when there's sales, >30% points, or their free shipping saves me money. They're more expensive and had some issue with their warehouse damaging boxes though.

Otherwise amiami for most preorders, Mandarake for used/older things, and now Goodsmile's website when I want preorder bonuses. I've also had good luck buying secondhand on MyFigureCollection

TOM when the math works out in my favor with points/promotions and free shipping. Otherwise Amiami, or Mandarake for pre-owned. I've also had one good experience and no bad experiences buying used figures on MFC.

Answers to many of your questions will be found in that. Welcome to the hobby, we all share your grief over your wallet's impending death.

Amiami and big in japan.

Mainly buy from amiami and mandarake. Ive purchased figures on solarisjapan, hlj, and hobbysearch when they werent available on amiami and mandarake

Mandarake especially the few shops in Nagano Lashinbang around akihabara,largest store in Akiba cultural zone

Mandarake!!

Definitely Mandarake

lashinbang mandarake and surugaya

Mandarake but more specifically the one on Nakano Broadway. Honestly it’s like 3-4 floors of anime figure heaven. Loads of little units of ppl selling anime goods

FigureChoice is a sister site to.... favorGK, I believe... And I go to them strictly as a back up for when I can't find the figure elsewhere. Kaioland is also a good site to go to for putting in a request to find a figure. For example, I wanted the Honey House Womenswear LoZ Link figure and nobody had it online, Kaioland was able to find one for me and sell it to me.

But for my bulk searches and purchases, I go to OrzGK. They have a Whatsapp for quicker customer service than email. And they're willing to work with you on a payment plan, or set different dates of payment if you run into trouble. I've also purchased from WeAreAnimeCollectors once, and that transaction went smoothly.

For official figures, I usually go to BigBadToyStore or EntertainmentEarth.

look first in FNC or fanaticanimestore. they have the best prices and shipping fee though their stocks tend to sold out fast. if you cant find what you're looking for there, check out toyokoku, kaioland or hexapusacg. I tend to look lastly at orzgk, they seem to inflate their prices compared to other sites.

In FNC, for pre order items, you will pay the deposit first and then they will send you monthly invoice using paypal. and then the shipping fee after that. for in stock items, you can pay the deposit then they will send you an open invoice payable within 2 months.

In Kaioland, for in stock items you can pay the deposit and you will have 3 months to complete the rest of the payment before they ship. The price of their statues already includes shipping fee. You just pay the full price and that’s it.

I haven’t had an installment in Hexapusacg so I dont know their process but they do have an installment option. You can join their whatsapp group, they are very active and the owner is quick to answer questions.

orzgk is a website I trust. Because I have been deceived by other websites. But orzgk makes me feel at ease. Although its price is a bit high, I feel more assured. It doesn't matter if the price is high.

Since I leave in Australia I can mainly buy them online but I have a ebgames in my town and they sell anime funko pops so I buy them from ebgames, right now I've bought hawks, enmu and mikasa figure.

I recommend checking out r/animefigures to learn about them. Alot of figures cost that much but they don't necessarily have to. Nor, should you feel like you need to spend that much. There are different classifications of figures typically the more pricy ones are called scales. Due, to them being "scaled" to the character. However if you want something cheaper I recommend looking into prize figures

Some figures cost more than hundreds

I use amiami for my figures usually and specfiction for my statues

If you're in the US, Big Bad Toy Store is pretty good for pre-ordering prize figures. I've found that new stuff goes up on Mandarake pretty fast though. I wouldnt necessarily recommend pre ordering prize figures though as sometimes the prototype and final product can be very different, moreso than scales

AmiAmi, Mandarake, Jungle. New or old they all have all as preowneds. You just need to be attentive after release for the new ones. I'd say I've ordered the most prize figures from Mandarake altogether.

If I preorder then Big In Japan, but their prize offerings are relatively random. HobbyLink Japan has quite a bigger selection usually.

But the truth is that it doesn't really worth preordering prizes since almost always you'll be able to pick them up quite cheaper as preowned.

Some Taito figures though can prove to be online crane exclusive, and they very very rarely appear as preowneds in Japanese shops, if ever. But they can be found on Aliexpress in some shops that offer genuine figures.

bigbadtoystore has long shipping but a huge variety. I also order from Amazon but be careful and check brand/reviews!

Ninoma

Global Freaks is my go to store to pre order prize figures. Aftermarket and pre ordering scales I usually use Solaris Japan or Nin Nin Game.

Looking around it does seem like that is standard pricing for the figure. You can use a proxy service like Buyee to keep an eye out for the figure on Yahoo Japan Auctions and Mercari. If you keep an eye out, you can sometimes snag figures for a really good price! I would also keep an eye out on Mandarake. You can use buyfriend.moe to be alerted if the figures goes in stock

Seemingly new and unopened on jp mercari: https://jp.mercari.com/item/m71319278812

You will need a proxy to buy it. Do your due diligence to make sure it is legit and as described before buying.

amiami is your best bet! they do preorders too and stuff. if not, i'm pretty sure you can buy in physical stores as well.

Prize figures are technically second-hand figures as shops are not allowed to sell it brand new. You'd have to win it as a prize. Anyways, sometimes you can purchase it unopened on secondhand shops. Amiami, Mandarake, Suruga-ya, Mercari, Yahoo Flea Market and Yahoo Auctions are the go-to for online. You can also check Book-off/Hobby-off as they always have a corner/area for figures.

Prize figures are almost always second hand because they’re won in prize machines and lotteries. Doesn’t mean they’re opened, they’re just not technically “first hand”
