Regular Shinkis (at pre-order) are easy to find on AmiAmi, HLJ and Hobby Search.

For exclusives, go with Yokatta (THE proxy).

Ah, thanks much!

I'll need to check out AmiAmi. I usually hit up HLJ for my Gundam fix =)
Also, Madarake is great! I snagged myself a Proxima from there-- just awaiting shipment!

Sigh. There are soo many Shinkis I want... it's somewhat depressing, ahaha.

Yeah. Sadly AmiAmi is basically completely sold out of shinkis, so until we get new preorders they're almost useless to us. Mandarake is totally the best bet, though if you don't mind using a proxy you can find some neat things on yahoo!japan.

AmiAmi does sell Picconeemo clothes that fit shinkis though.

What are shipping costs from Mandrake on a typical Shinki? (Shipping to the US)

depends on the kind of shipping, ems is about $30-ish

Heh. We really need to get that FAQ out.

3: Mandarake - Kind of an oddman, as it's a 2nd hand goods store that ships across the globe. If you dont mind a bit of box damage, the usual reason a Shinki shows up on mandarake, it's a good way to get a shinki fairly cheap although it's often the luck of the draw whether you'll actually get something. They dont update the website in real time, and they're listing product in actual stores, so something could be sold out before they process your order. On the other hand, you can also get Shinkis here that are sold out elsewhere.

stop scaring me. Just ordered a shinki there and waiting for paypal to process my payment ^^;

Okay. Thanks for the info. I was just curious if the shipping was average shipping costs or if they did what proxy services do and tack on nasty handling (or sometimes double shipping) fees...

Hello everyone, its been a while since I visited the site. It seems the new anime series has led to shinki revival.
Just to add to the thread, Amiami may be sold out of new boxed shinkis, but some 2nd hand shinkis do turn up from time to time, prices also vary greatly. Its really up to your "need" and available disposable funds you have.

Ooh.

These are awesome!
