Otaku-ism

^ do want

Another question: I've been checking around the amiami site a lot (which makes me realize how poor i am), and I've noticed some figurines are listed as "For sale in Japan only". Is this just an amiami thing or does it mean they can't ship overseas, because other sites i've been on to don't have problems selling a lot of their figurines like that.

I think some figurines are actually restricted for Japanese people only, though I'm not too sure on that. I could be wrong. I actually read something similar to this a while back, in fact, there was a similar reason as to why AmiAmi cannot sell Good Smile Company's Nendoroids for an extremely cheap price on the English site.

The thing about AmiAmi is that the costs on there are actually pretty cheap if you try comparing them to other websites. Try comparing figurines on there to the stuff on Jlist, Otacute, etc. Best way to buy figurines if you want to be cost-effective is to try buying them at fansites that have a large community that sells back figurines. I usually lurk on figure.fm and myfigurecollection.net whenever I want to buy pre-owned figurines. Figure.fm has a nice community, though the demanded prices for some of the stuff on there are pretty insane. Cheapest and best thing I got from that site was my Rozalin, and that was my 1st figurine.

Though if you're aiming for apparel items, go for Jlist, their stuff is cheaper. Most shirts are near 20 bucks, iirc. S&H costs less than 5 bucks too, iirc. If you're buying from AmiAmi, expect 3,000 JPY (near ..36+ USD?), and that's excluding S&H, so in total, expect 40 bucks. If you know what you're doing though, you could also try making custom t-shirts. Though the last one I made ended up costing me near 30 bucks (total) for 1 shirt. >___>
