Buying stuff

rincchiI read on MFC that customs are getting stricter with parcels in the UK and even SAL parcels are getting caught now. Ugh. Fortunately, most things I want are fairly cheap. As long as I stay below something like £32, I should be okay. I can't really go spending more than that per figure on a daily basis anyway. I am going to be living like an adult soon.
I ordered the Little Busters rough note on Rakuten for just £6. Aw, yeah. In your face, overpricing eBay shmuck. O/ (It was priced at like £20 there, wow... and that's not including the insane shipping.) Amazon had a copy too for like 1800 yen used. Yeah, I think I got a good deal.
Anyway, I'm going to be sensible with my figure buying for now. Save up money, keep siphoning some into my rainy day fund, and just try to hold back. This year, I'll just aim for three figures - Rin nendoroid, Komari nendoroid, and Beach Queens Rin.
Actually, I got a pretty good price on this UK figure site for this figure I traded in. They have Beach Queens Rin there so I guess I know where my store credit's going. The Komari and Rin nendos are out of stock there, sadly.
Don't have to worry about customs fees with YesAsia usually, it seems, though they're a last resort apparently. I've ordered from them in the past, years ago, and it was just some manga. Didn't have problems there.
They've got that Refrain mug on there too. :3
Course, I'm aware of the bad reviews. I'll keep them in mind.
