group bidding/buying Kaiyodo and other Japanese figures from us

Hey.

After having several great transactions of the sort the past few days, I just reminded my mailing list of something that it occurs to me I should mention here as well--since possibly some who haven't bothered to look into how we work might see a (rather huge) benefit that they can't get anywhere else...

When I or one of my buyers finds something really desirable in a mixed lot (or even well priced set), I try to organize a group bid or purchase. While otherwise I virtually always offer the best prices--very often  by far--for buyers outside of Japan--when these attempts are successful, the results are extraordinary.

For instance, I had a few this week that resulted in no one paying more than 400 yen each (no other fees) per figure, many of which (for instance, multiple Kaiyodo CQM Deep Sea figures) would sell in the US for $20 to upwards of $50+ (if hopefully we win a lot with the Kaiyodo Study Room Nipponites) each.

I typically only suggest one when I see something that I still need for my collection or think I can sell for really good money on eBay, but anyone can propose it when they come across something of interest and I'd reach out to the mailing list to try to facilitate it.

As usual, please PM if interested.

Thanks.
Brett

A good idea always.

I have a suggestion, if you have a way to shop in China, I think some figures will be cheaper than Japan, especially new figures.

I can do my best to find figures, but I can do nothing about payment and international express delivery at least not currently.

Which figures do you want ?

If you have taobao account, you can buy figures online in China.

Yes, this is what i mean. I search more for chinese figures like K&M or Club Earth, produced i think by Wing Mau. So i found any parrots, now is my most wanted the grey parrot.

I didn’t collect K&M or Club Earth, so I’m not sure if these are correct.

I believe these are Nayab but a good find nevertheless
