Can anyone recommend a Japanese based mail forwarding service, especially one that will do an 'assisted purchase' (they order from a Japanese language website, on the buyers behalf)? I desperately want to track down the new TR blue bumblebee Bump Chicken https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/exclusive-bump-of-chicken-sonic-blue-bumblebee-toy-revealed/44167/, but don't know of any services. A recommendation would give me greater confidence.

I've used White Rabbit Express twice (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/25737), for TakaraTomyMall and Amazon Japan.
I was thinking of using them for the blue Bumblebee as well, but since this item is only available for pre-order on just two days in two days time, it might make it difficult to get a 3rd party to understand what to do and to charge you the right amount for it.

Thanks Griffin (as always!). I just ordered now, but Nov 4 is a public holiday so if you want it, you'd better place an order today.

Ebay prices for this is going to be at least half a kidney.

Where on the product page can that be ordered (https://www.bumpofchicken.com/goods/list/detail/?id=14&item_id=46)? Or is it somewhere else on the website? Translating the product page doesn't even say the price or when it can be pre-ordered, so where are people getting that info from?
If I can't see how you pre-order this, how can I tell someone in Japan how to order it.
(today is apparently the last day too)

I use "from japan" personally but I didn't compare rates, all I know is for the 10 times I used them they worked, last time however was for legends greatshot because I missed out on everywhere that had him and thought why not go direct for once?
