Re: Amiami or HLJ for Canadian

Is it a separate Amazon account that you need to create for Amazon Japan?

I used Hlj before and they are quite good (i got dinged with customs though so I may have been unlucky). The other place I order from is Robotkingdom. Just comparing prices around, their prices are not bad at all. (I pre-ordered MP tigatron from them and I think they had the lowest price all-in with EMS shipping).

All Japanese sellers/stores declare full value.

I only use Anime Export for exclusives (not just TFs) that cannot be acquired from HLJ and AmiAmi. They don’t entertain cancellation, but if they couldn’t fulfill a preorder they do promptly refund you (happened once).

The other option for TakaraTomy MPs is Amazon Japan. Deep discounts and extremely fast and cheap DHL shipppng but they do collect tax upfront.

Due to my bad experiences with Nippon Yasan and have seen quite a few negative comments online in the last couple of years I have stopped shopping there. You can google it.
