Re: Masterpiece Prowl Released - In Hand Images

This figure cost me almost 100 from ages 3 and up after tax and their f u pick up fee.

I've emailed them twice looking for an eta with no response whatsoever even though they invoiced me on Sept. 13th.

I think it pretty poor customer loyalty to charge their local supporters 3$ for in store pick up, its pretty much an f u cash grab.

I would love to hear how they justify this as someone who works for an import wholesaler.

I also ordered one form hlj.
Basically 60 dollars shipped all in.
Unless I get dinged by customs for 40 bucks this should wind up being much, much cheaper with better customer service and no 3 dollar kick in the junk.

I also know roughly when my hlj prowl will arrive whereas a3u can't even be bothered to answer a very simple email.

I also can't help but consider if hlj can sell to me for 50 bucks, what kind of margins are our Canadian vendors taking at almost double that price.

100 dollars in store pick up??? Even Ebay is cheaper than that... in fact they ship it right to your door too. Anyways, I had bad experience dealing with A3U since long time ago, and so as many others on this forum...... but I am not going to say anything off topic here. Let's hop on the boat, and get them from HLJ like everyone else for the upcoming tfs. If you ever consider getting TFs from any Canadian online store, I would recommand Automaton, just my suggestion...

Re: Masterpiece Prowl Released - In Hand Images

$100 is way too high. I prefer to use Chimungmung. He has this for 59 + 15 shipping. His shipping is high but he always packs his stuff well and also uses EMS which is super fast to Canada. Bonus is he marks his packages as value $10 and gift no matter what you buy. Never got dinged with customs yet. I'll be getting MP Smokescreen from him soon

HLJ is almost always my first choice since I order Takara MP along with my other Japanese toys from them. I order from Amiami too but they always sell out their stock fast.
