@pure trance that’s a nice deal you’ve got there! would save me a lot of money ^^;;

@len-vesper thanks for the heads up. although honestly, any delays or even cancellations will help the burden on my wallet ^^;;; as i mentioned before, i don’t mind so much the usual delay – basically a month or so after the japan release – it’s the deviation from that that worries me. this has been my only complaint so far after many satisfactory transactions though, so for now i’ll probably keep all my orders as is. i’ll let’cha know if things ever go sour so you can tell me ‘i told ya so’ ^^;;; in the meantime, i’ll stay optimistic ^_^

Caution with Kidnemo, Meronpan. I’ve ended up cancelling many orders with them because of unfullfilled preorders.

Like Chu Chu Astram I had ordered, after a month that other friends had receieved their units, mine had not come in, their response was ‘it’s not arrived yet’. I ended up purging most of my orders for that silly remark, but I can’t deny one thing: prices on their internal stock is quite good. Just don’t pre-order through kidnemo unless you want to wait, and wait.

If it’s currently in stock though? Good prices for the most part.

@meronpan – I get free shipping because I am special LOL. I get it on any order, even my $22 Revoltechs etc….even if I just order 1. Also 99.9% of all my orders are preorders xD;

I think I get the free shipping because I put a good review for them, and their button, on my site ^^;;;

@james yikes those are some pretty bad problems. One thing I’ve noticed looking through all the comments, is that everyone has an anecdote for every possible take on stores ^^; person A has nothing but good experiences, but person B got screwed over royally. Meanwhile person C suggests a different store, but person D gets bad service for them… it’s insane!

@pure trance …you get free shipping? what magic is this?! oh wait, checked their site… guess you can get free shipping on domestic in stock orders of > $149.99. maaan, i’d say 90% of my orders are pre-orders… pretty rare i’d qualify for free shipping ;_;

@James – I think you should try emailing them…they are usually pretty good about responding.

It’s funny…I actually really hate Animaxis lol. They charged me upfront for a preorder (already bad) and then strung me along for ages in regards to when it would be released…similar to what you are going through, but I had paid for the figure so I was super mad.

I only buy from Kid Nemo, unless I can’t find it from them. I get free shipping so I don’t mind waiting a little longer. Also…I preorder a lot, so having some things take longer than others means I have more time to be able to pay back my credit card debt for the figures LOL.

I want to add that i have lots of friends who had problems with Kid Nemo not sending the package or asking for more shipping or saying after a while that the figure is not available anymore …

But maybe they just don’t like sell figures to french ^^

Anyway i buy only at Hobby Search and Animaxis , the two fastest shop for sending figures … HLJ became too slow for me lately … : )

@optic honestly i’m not that hung up on the delay itself, but rather the reasons behind it — it doesn’t (appear) to make sense. but yes, i’ve had a pretty good experience with kid nemo so far, and they have fairly responsive customer support. (although one thing i *hate* is that they don’t send e-mails to you when your order ships anymore!)

@panther lol because it’s so many, or so few ^_^;

@james i know, right! that’s why i was so confused

@sonic_ver2 lotsa ppl mentioning hlj… will definitely check them out next time.

@pure trance that’s a good question. i’d like to know also. from the website product description, it appears that it’s the japan release, hence my concern. and that’s what makes me suspicious that i was tricked into getting the us version. but yeah, delays, late shipping whatever, i usually go by price. i just would like to know why/what’s happening with my order, you know? ^_^;

I usually go ahead and order the US version anyhow, even though it can/will probably be delayed…it’s so much cheaper!

I am confused…did you preorder the US or Japan version? Because Kid Nemo usualls offers both, and has a warning on the US one that Kotobukiya US often gets delayed etc.

If you want to get a figure faster, then you’ll have to order in HLJ or Play-Asia.

I don’t really know much about US release and Kidnemo, but i know that Kidnemo always late at releasing figure.
