Does anyone have any experience with dealing with a possible return with AmiAmi? I just received the Hdge Motoko Kusanagi and she has two small paint scratches on her (they're black; one on her breast and one on her ankle), some nasty sculpting on a piece of her hair, a serious case of bug eyes and an all around pretty ugly shading job. I've never had to go through the process of trying to get an exchange before, and I also hear AmiAmi are picky and may not do anything for something that isn't outright broken.

Amiami shipped it to me with no plug, so that's another option.
I have to admit, that does look pretty cool, and it's always nice when a figure from a low key franchise gets made.
However, you're still a student, right? Better to hold off on it for now.
Is it even out yet? It looks amazing.

I think it's out late August or September. If it's like Spider-Man it'll be great, until the joints get crazy loose. And depending on your stance, the joints might be too ugly (I didn't mind them for Spidey). Let's just hope it's better than Venom. That one disappointed me as it's bulk made it a really unwieldy figure, and almost always required a stand for good poses yet the included stand is suitable for small figures like Spidey but not behemoths like Venom.
Oh snap, and they're selling him for a much lower price too. Which shipping method did you choose?
You live near a Customs place? I assume it must be the Megazord cuz isn't Megatron shipped in his robot form? Never understood why he needed orange plugs for shipping reasons.
How much was shipping with EMS? If it makes it the same price as TFSource, I might just get it from them since they offer free shipping for it.
I feel like only BBTS and HLJ will follow that silly rule. At least Customs didn't rip open your package. I'm hoping TFSource replies today about my orange plug inquiry.
Dang, $70 is a lot even if it includes another large figure. Guess I'll think about it.

Another one of the reasons I'm so selective with figures. Regardless of where I buy from I have to pay big for shipping.
Dude was great in the Clone Wars show. You should check out the episode Grievous's Lair.
They also redeemed him in the cartoon? I really need to set up a binge time for that series.

I really can't stand anything that reminded me of the prequel movies. But I keep hearing good things about the Clone Wars so I'll give it chance. But I heard the episode order is fucked up.

Sorta. Mostly it's just that they went back later and expanded some earlier arcs, so it's a bit weird if you watch them in release order. Here's the chronological episode guide: http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-episodeorder

hey, MP-36 reissue is available for a dirt cheap import pre-order price at anime export. you must pay upfront. but they're legit and pack well:

Looks like EMS shipping is 4500 yen. Not too bad. Guess I'll think about it since it's pay upfront.

looks like you can use SAL small packet for even cheaper shipping.
i haven't looked around but i know amazon JYP way back had mp-36 for the same price, and it shipped to the US no orange plug (not sure sure if amazon jyp re-issue pre-order opened) but that was one of the lowest offered between all the import stores.
Looks like Amazon Japan is still expensive from resellers. Guess not.

Thanks. Hopefully Amazon Japan opens preorders for the reissue soon.

That's what I heard. People actually liked him in the series.

You haven't watched Clone Wars?
I tried to watch it, but what I saw (the movie, part of season 1, and a few scattered episodes) was even worse than the prequels.
I've sworn off all new (to me) Star Wars stuff so it's never getting another shot.

Grievous was at his best in the Tartakovsky show. I don't think Star Wars action had ever been better than in that series, either.
CGI Clone Wars has really good stuff. A few misses but they make the characters so much better than whatever the fuck they were in the prequels.

Action was nice indeed, but I felt he was much better as a character in the 3D show. He's such a good mix of coward and threatening. If there was one character who I'd be as afraid of turning my back to as the Emperor it would be him.
And action picked up later. Feats weren't as crazy as the Tartakovsky show, but I feel that was part of the point. He took it a little too far

People tried to sell me on that show with action clips, but the action looked silly, and not even a good kind of silly.

Why couldn't your group contain him.
You're gonna miss the best Star Wars movie ever though what a confusing time to stop watching.
I might get around to it after I finish Star trek.
I still have a lot of Trek left though.

We tried. But it was only a matter of time before he broke containment and the world outside had to deal with him.
