When I first dove into the world of figures I was like a lost confused puppy. I didn’t know which stores to buy from or how to tell the difference between bootlegs and the real thing. So, I’m passing on my experience.
The MAIN DRAWBACK to all U.S. Figure Stores I have EVER used is that you will NOT get your figure as quickly as if you had ordered it from Japan. It’s not that each individual store is slow or bad, it’s that the figures have to be shipped from Japan to that store and then from that U.S. store to your home. U.S. figure stores also have to deal with middle men in order to get figures, which may potentially lead to an unexpected delay. Japanese stores have direct access to the figures being released.
