Actually, they don't ship outside Japan. I use a Japan-based service that settles all of your YJ bidding deals. They even receive the merchandise from the seller, then re-ship anywhere in the world. It's quite expensive, so I only use the service for those really REALLY hard to get items like Japanese drama laser disc sets, used OST CDs, Sakai Noriko stuff, etc.

Wow cool! How much more do they charge and what's the website? I might give them a try since the calendars go for 500\ and yesasia when they had it sold them for $30!

I remember you mentioned this a while back... Yeah, the service ain't cheap... We need to get an insider in Japan to help us with this demand for collectibles... :D

Hmmm, there has to be someone else living in Japan :crazy:

I might be headed there this summer but that is still in the works. Although I doubt they can ship to my hotel room :hehe: :hehe:

Yeah, it was. I think the Japanese are still looking for technical people who know English to work in Japan... My cousin was an EE...

Hmm, I dunno. I don't think she did much engineering when she was there... Odd, since they want people with technical backgrounds, neh?

Yeah, she'll be here in June. But the latest she can come is in August. So if you guys want something, let me know ASAP so I can tell her to send it to me. I'm sending your stuff tomorrow, bmw. I'll wake up early to do it! :beaten: If she finds anything Ryoko there, I'll have her send it to me. Weird though, she said that it's hard to find the otakki stuff that we like. (ie: posters and Kanebo stuff)

Just not too much things ok?! I don't want her to feel "Sokubaku" (overwhelmed). She's already taking care of my stuff, you have to remember. (My Hotman Special should be coming anytime soon now!) She has work too, so just a warning...... It may take a while. Send me your list and your address. I'll see what I can do.

You're too kind, Aho. :D

If your gal runs into Ryoko-chan, maybe she can bonk her on the head and have her shipped over here. I'll pay for the shipping. :hehe:
