Hello, I'm just wondering where I can buy figma link for a cheap price, I checked BBTS and eb games, but in total it is 65 bucks plus shipping, if I found it somewhere for 40 bucks tax and shipping I would be happy, any recommendations? Also, when the figure gets imported to north america, will it be any different? (more accessories etc) and when does it even come out here?

 

Thank you in advance.

If you're looking for figmas, you will typically have to pay a lot for shipping out of country (unless its like some ebay shipping, which can be inconsistent).

 

It depends on what you're looking for.  If it's common, ebay may be your best bet.

 

Other than that, you may try amiami, yesasia, mandrake (bought a few VNs from them, don't know about their figures), 1999, then there are a few hobby sites.  If you're lucky, amazon might sometimes have it (but usually not).

Pretty much what Mourn said, but I wouldn't expect to really find anything bellow the price range of $50-$60. Usually shipping is what makes these things so expensive, and as such they really can't sell it at anything bellow that and make a profit.

Be wary, the suck is coming.

Thank you for the resources, I'll check them later, a Figma is a japanese figure based on a video game character/anime/movie character, there's all sorts of them, I didn't here about them until I saw the link one.

 

If you're looking for figmas, you will typically have to pay a lot for shipping out of country (unless its like some ebay shipping, which can be inconsistent).

 

It depends on what you're looking for.  If it's common, ebay may be your best bet.

Amazon has it but it's basically the same price as the other two places, would it be possible to pay less than 50 for this if I'm lucky?

I saw this figure for 10 bucks on ebay, and 70 dollars for shipping, LOL.

figma is a brand

 

also you can find a better deal on japanese websites but normal shipping had no tracking and can take anywhere from a week to over a month, and if you pay for better shipping the price pretty much evens out to american website prices.
