I just wonder if it will be in Japanese or English...

If my converter is right shipping is $139. Anyone have a different price?

i'm estimating about $35 for the slow shipping... but it's hard to know for sure since we have no idea how they'll be packaged.

the bigger problem here -- i'm reading some terrible reviews about this place and their customer service. overcharging customers by as much as $30 and chalking it up 'yen conversion,' shipping that promises 3 weeks but actually takes 3 months, products that are advertised as 'in stock' but never ship and are ultimately canceled, and it seems like almost anyone who contacts them about a problem gets their order canceled, money refunded, and account 'blacklisted' to prevent future orders.

i was one button click away from ordering, but opted against it. if this place is getting some in may, you have to assume that other retailers or sellers will also be able to get them from japan or other international markets. i'd rather place my order with a company that doesn't sound so shady.

$35 shipping, 3 months to get here, possible customs issues? And just imagine the damage to the box that leaves open? No thanks lol

I have actually ordered from them before, I preordered some figures less than a year ago. They didn't charge my card untill they were ready to ship, and i think they even send you an email before they ship asking what shipping service you want, choose EMS, that has tracking and takes like a week. I got my figures no problem. While I can't say go ahead and order, I can say I didn't have a problem with me order.

Also... Amiami.com has them for preorder too, but I bet you find similar reviews for them too.

I just don't know about this. Funko has already said that they had issues with the Monsters Inc. licensing. If that is all cleared up then why not wait for it to be available in the US. If it's not cleared up, then the site is mis-informed or lyin'.

I thought i read that (I think it was Brian) he said that while they won't be for sale in the US, they could be available in Mexico and Europe, and that some may make it back to the US via the secondary market. I don't remember what thread I read that in, maybe the retired pop thread.

This is what I was guessing when I saw them.

I'd rather wait, and then again, for the price I would spend for them, i could buy a number of the other pops on my list.

I would like it to be in English too so that is one reason I am willing to wait but not sure for how long. The $139 shipping was Fed-Ex and you could get it in 5 days I believe but if you had a big order and split the shipping up it may not be that bad as eating all the shipping and then again you get those hard to find ones.
