I've been using unregistered SAL for the past year with HLJ and I've had no problems with it. It's cheap as sheet, but believe me, it's somewhat of a nerve-wracking experience :lol. Japan Post hands my packages directly over to USPS, and strangely enough, they've been pretty efficient in delivering them on time.

I'm not sure how trustworthy the post-office is in Mexico, though...

Without tracking number, not much, I reckon.

I've only purchased unregistered twice and one of them didn't arrive at all, so I don't even want to risk losing over $100 worth of figures just for not paying like the extra $10 :lol or in BBTS' case, priority is often $30 and up, that's for small figures.

It's still a lot cheaper than buying them here when they arrive.
 
Anyone knows how does Amiami works with cancellations? I ordered a couple more revolminis, but I previously set up an order for a Big Boss figure to see the shipping costs but I can't seem to be able to cancel it now.

I've been reading that you can't cancel your orders with Amiami? That seems a little cuckoo.
AmiAmi doesn't do cancellations, but if you contact them through the "Contact Us" link and ask them nicely, they usually cancel stuff for you (just as long as your reason sounds legit and you're genuinely polite about it). Don't let it happen too often though, as they get annoyed by it (it also gets put on their record). It's only regular customers where they cut some slack, but even then that's never a guarantee that they'd casually cancel stuff for you.

Also don't ever wait it out and not pay for the order, AmiAmi hates that even more and they're more likely to blacklist you for it if you do it more than a couple of times. Not that it would ever get to this point, but having them literally close your account is the worst thing that could happen, and it results in them closing any new accounts that might contain your details eg. address, credit card, email etc. (basically you can't register ever again unless you seem like a completely different person with different details)

Hope that helps, I'm actually a fairly regular buyer on AmiAmi and while the site layout, overall selection and prices are great, they can be quite harsh when it comes to continued cancellations (keyword: continued, so just don't let it happen too often and you'll be safe).

Thanks for the detailed tip man, will ask real nicely to see if they can cancel my 1st order, certainly the prices are freaking great! I ordered another 2 Snakes and it was $30 bucks cheaper than through BBTS with super fast shipping, it's ridiculous, I'm gonna have to sell 2 either way :lol I don't need 4 of them but I'm glad I found out about Amiami.

The seller for my mgsvgzpp messaged me back almost a week later and after i finally messaged them to tell me they have no more stock and refunded me. Now the cheapest i can find it for is $150 instead of $107, this sucks.
 
No last email i got said,

'Under the guidance of Mr Yoji Shinkawa, we have made further modification to MGS1, MGS2, MGS3 artworks, including additional samples exchanges between France and Japan. Last shipment of samples will depart on Tuesday 15th July to Konami's office for official approval. Production of your order will follow right away the approval, and you will be asked for second payment (and/or shipping fees).'

lol at the English used too

Do you know how long the delayed will be? I emailed the company, but didn't get a reply!
 
Was the Pistol Old Snake used in MGS4 an M1911A1?

Not an 1911A1, it was a Springfield Operator. Just another of many 1911 clones.

There is some floating around which are similar, I've been meaning to get one for my Old Snake since the 1911 he comes with is ******.
 
Wow, its still for sale? Ive watched it a couple times and just couldnt pull the trigger on it. (No pun intended) maybe if frank doesnt want it and its still around i might get it eventually.
