"bootlegs" in reference to E2046: ALL the resin kits they carry are technically bootlegs, as they're recasts.

I do almost all my proxy shopping with Shopping Mall Japan. They've got decent rates and can order from websites as well as Y!J. I've never really been in a hurry when ordering from them though, they're probably considered a bit slow.

does anyone knows if www.plamoya.com is a good store?

since i have found there some stuff i can't find anywhere due to be "sold out" or "discontinued".
I have been looking for answers on some review sites and they said its good but i prefer some sort of known experience from here....

I am suggesting moving ED2046 into bad. 3 kits in a row missing parts, takes them effing forever to fix up their fuckups.

That is pretty bad actually. List adjusted.

Updated the list, Finally.

Does anyone have any experience with Otaku Fuel? I have just become royally screwed regarding Figma Rider, but Google Shopping directed me there. They seem decently priced, and I doubt Google would steer me wrong, but it never hurts to double-check, right?

Edit: Placed my order, but it's apparently a pre-order (ships from California) and won't ship until at least July 30... If no one else gives any input I'll report back then.

Edit 2: I have been refunded... I wasn't swindled, but this still doesn't make me happy... I guess it's back to refreshing AmiAmi and HLJ for Figma Rider...

I listed Otaku Fuel as bad as they were unable to procure something you pre-ordered, though they did refund you. The fact they are unreliable in this one instance brings into question their ability to acquire pre-orderable items. Unless someone else can give anymore input, that is my ruling on their position.

No entry for BBTS? Or am I just blind? They aren't always cheapest, but shipping (at least across the border) is pretty good, and their selection and pile of Loot feature makes them very convenient.
