Masterpiece Convoy 3.0 Revealed

IIRC you need a Japanese address to be able to use Amazon Japan. I could be wrong.

It's just one of the many reasons I miss living in Osaka...

Those in the UK, Canada and USA can purchase from amazon Japan. Australia is completely excluded.

Yeah, Amazon JP's toys are accessible to much of the world. And before Amazon's hissy fit over the GST, we could by from there also.

I'm going to try and buy this year's Generations book from Amazon JP next week when I get paid. Hopefully, they still allow us to buy books from them.

Couldn’t find an Australian based supplier that had available for preorder (hence asking the original question if a local could get it cheaper bulk wise).

TLTC has him listed. $545 + shipping. However, there are those of us that have had issues with TLTC, so caveat emptor.

I have done my homework... read back 5 pages and thus was asking the question, to see if someone else had another opinion. The usual suspects were listed. So don’t assume that I didn’t.

Ended up with Amiami due no payment until product is available, reliable and I know they package items securely.

Tried Amazon.co.jp (Had to sign up) but doesn’t ship to Australia.

RobotKingdom USD price at current forex rates moves it above $500 before shipping costs.

HLJ was ¥2000 yen more than AmiAmi.

Didn’t bother with TfSource and BBTS.

GST is a fact of life so didn’t bother me too much if a site charged it, although if there was one that didn’t it would be considered.

Never bothered with NY ? There no gst. Ae no gst, hobbysearch no gst.

Sigh

Yep we discussed NY on page 32 of this thread but Amiami is still a fine choice. Just tested Amiami and it doesn't seem like they were charging GST during the checkout process either, though the base price was 4,700¥ ($58) more than NY.

Ah right that's good to know thanks.

The give away mate is because the box! It gave the Australia Gov recognition that the company is doing well enough so gst. Hobbysearch, ny, and ae uses plain box unlike hlj and amiami . So is harder to trace.

Even Tenso is charged so no point buying amazon jp and sending via Tenso. You be charged gst.

Never bought from those before so didn’t know what the shop name acronyms meant. I did ask in a roundabout way. So went with what I knew.

Have now found out NY is Nippon Yasan.

Sorry about that, we shouldn't assume that everyone knows the acronym.

Just be careful of ny as they have bad reputation as well. But they are mostly for limited items.
