For those who haven't noticed yet and are a fan of the Shining Wind series, AmiAmi is currently selling the Kotobukiya Xecty 1/6 scale for 4000 yen, which is 50% off the original price 8800 yen. Seeing how I already have Elywn, I will most likely pass on this offer as I personally feel that only thing different about this 2 figures is the heads; there is practically little differences between them. This is a real shame because it is not everyday you can pick up a 1/6 scale figure for the price of 1/7 scale, especially when it is based on Tony Taka Designs.
Wow, i was so ready to pull the trigger (even though I'd prefer Elwing) but luckily I looked at MFC where people are claiming high shipping charges. Thus I will not be buying this figure.
I paid around 2820 yen for shipping alone, the package was indeed big....
I guess it may be actual charges but with a total of 6820 yen converting in to nearly $82 USD, I'd rather purchase from a US Retailer than worry about something happening during over seas travel.
2,820yen: what's the shipping method you choosed ?
Anyway, thanks a lot for the sale, my Elwing will be less alone =)
That would be EMS, I did not feel safe using SAL on such a big package.
I asked the staff in AMIAMI and they told me Xecty didn't actually fit in SAL small parcel so you have to use EMS, which is around 3000yen shipping fee~~
wtf 3000yen....
anyway GSC Xecty is superior anyway.
