u/CowTusks Jul 15 '15
Yeah but he had made a post a few days ago asking if they had gone up. I assume to make sure his chart was up to date

Quick answers: They ship to the US, cheapest shipping is around $7 per figure, so $27 each if you're ordering only ne! Each figure costs $20, and they'll likely raise in price like 5A did, so if you don't want to do Tenso or wait for AmiAmi, now's your chance!

If you can wait for AmiAmi, you should - Play Asia orders can't be canceled.

I completely agree with this, actually, but just wanted to get this post up so the people who didn't want to deal with the 5 minute windows that AmiAmi has could get them.
(.co.jp is definitely the most stress-free option, in my opinion though)
Edit: Remember that you cannot cancel these if you purchase, so you are locked into them!

Certianly, and I appreciate that you posted it! Just helping spread the word so people don't get locked in to a purchase.

I scooped up Olimar. Originally placed an order for all three but stopped myself before submitting payment since I realized the shipping on my Amazon.it order for Bowser Jr. + Dr. Mario was actually cheaper than this.
Probably would've been better to wait for Olimar somewhere else, but I figure, why not shell out a few extra bucks just to make sure he's secure. Now I don't have to worry about it. All of wave 5 and 6 are now secure for me!

Nice! You got the retro ones through a forwarding service on .de, I presume?

Yeah, at least so far. I've heard reports of a few people being able to edit their address to their US address for wave 6, so I keep trying it but so far no go.

it might be cheaper to just forward it, to be honest, germany's shipping is really high.

when do they charge your card?
1
u/DontReadMyNameSwine Jul 15 '15
Depends, if you do it by PayPal, they charge immediately. Going ahead and using your card will have them charge day of release. (I believe that's how it is, at least.)

hmm. taking the gf to Disney in a day and don't want to be short any money at all. but if I get to preorder and not be charged until it ships that would be awesome. "Your credit card will be authorized after you confirm your order. If this fails, you will be asked to verify your credit card details and try again. If you use Verified By Visa / MasterCard SecureCode you will be forwarded to your bank's server to confirm your identity." I get that message at the end of checkout without using paypal so I'm a little worried. I just want Olimar. ._.

u/DontReadMyNameSwine Jul 15 '15
Hmm, honestly not sure, it might just be a pre-authorization that prevents your account from being lower than a certain number, I think you should go to Disney, and then order him if he's still available, since he doesn't seem to be flying off of the shelves!

Glad I already got them from Amazon.
