Hi there,
I am searching out for the Nendoroid Nao Staccato ver. I am willing to pay or also trade a brand-new sealed nendoroid chiaki minami with money as well. If you have one or know where to find out at a reasonable price, please let me know.
A few months back they were selling on ebay for $85-$95usd but now they are too expensive.
now u make me want her too = )
Does it have to be Nao's Staccato version?
After seeing your post, I tried to look for her on Mandarake, but only found the normal version here: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-319171.html Maybe you've already seen this, but I thought I'd give it a try anyhow! /o/
$100 for a nendoroid then u have to pay for delivery too. there are things in life that money is better spent on, like 100 cups of $1 coffee.
>___> Okay. First off. I hate coffee. And secondly, if someone is willing to trade an expensive nendoroid, they could easily sell that same nendo to pay for the one they want. I'm not speaking for this individual, but they did seem -at least slightly- okay with the idea of Nao's Staccato version for $85-$95, which just happens to be how much this one on Mandarake is. - -b (Though they might have the normal Nao nendo already).
I can't remember exactly, but I believe the Nao nendos were limited/exclusive, so if someone really wanted either of them, that's about the price they have to pay. No one wants to pay that much, but that's the way it is sometimes. XD
i would feel like i've leveded up as an otaku if she was mine lol
This limited version has very cute glasses for Nao, I think that alone makes it special.
Exclusive + limited production = super premium nendoroid
After checking on Yahoo Japan Auctions, there're two currently on sale.
One seemed to be released from the box at some point in time. There's a buy-it-now option for a little less than 8,000 yen.

The other is a mint-in-box with 3 bids and current bidding price of 5,000 yen.

You could e-mail Yokatta

They helped me acquire a Sun Seto puchi within 5 days and she's pretty much sold out everywhere ^^ They don't overcharge either. You should definitely try em out!
I've wanted this for a long time too. But the price tag, damn. I know its limited yeah, but usually I convince myself to just wait for a 1/8 figure release by alter or gsc for the same price or less. I didnt get the black hair shana because of this too :(
Such is the nature of exclusives. Once you missed the pre-order, it'll be expensive acquiring it elsewhere.
That's why I have the services of a proxy shopper ready to get these exclusives pre-order. An example would be Tokyo Hunter, in which the site announced the exclusive release and the taking of pre-orders.

Yeh, I check tokyohunter's site almost every day now. for those dire need exclusives. But some exclusives are still out of reach, such as the event only ones urgh.
I e-mailed the Yokatta website and will wait to see. I would like to bid on the yahoo japan auction site but the services provided on the internet are way too expensive. My only option is if a friend lived in japan and could do it or someone could help out.
The nendoroid staccato is one of my favourite nendoroid sculpts because of the high quality in its pvc. The paint job on the outfit is a little bit blotchy but the face has excellent carving.
So Yokatta responded back and said the total fee is 12500yen + shipping out SAL, AIRMAIL, or EMS.
The price is brutal but because it is such a rare nendoroid that is why.
You gotta do what you gotta do, right? "If u want it that bad, be prepared to hurt.", that's my saying when it comes to figure collecting. Very cute nendoroid, btw! Hope this purchase turns out well for you!
I actually just nabbed one someone was selling :O!
It's not here yet though... I bought it for my girlfriend, so you'd have to take it up with her if you wanted it :P!
Considering you and i both live in Canada i wouldn't mind buying it off her if she was willing to sell the figure.
Much like you, I think she's pretty excited about it. So I don't think she's looking to sell, sorry...
I guess i will have to wait and see what i can find.
Hi. I should be able to get one for you for ard $120 + $30 for shipping. Do let me know soon as there is only 1 left :)
Hey there,
Thank you so much for the help. The only problem is that i have only 110usd in my account. If you could find me one for that price with shipping i will gladly buy it!
Haha, wish i could. The price is the actual selling price here, and shipping is non reducable :P. Problem with nendos is that they become a rare commodity overnight. Just trying my best to help out someone with a similar love for nendos ;). Hope u can get one soon :) Just let me know anytime if u wanna get it from my side. I will check out with the seller then. In the meantime will look out for ya if anythin lower comes my way :D
