Wanted! / Any Japan Yahoo Auction Users Willing to Ship to the US?
« on: August 19, 2021, 12:40:25 AM »
Hello!

I ran across a Japanese Yahoo auction I'd love to bid on but I don't speak/read Japanese so I'm nervous to try.

Would anyone in Japan be willing to bid and have it delivered to them and then sent to me? I will pay for everything plus a finder's fee of course. PayPal only please.

The item is a small light plush.

Please email me at [email protected] for details and my positive feedback info.

Thanks for your time!  ^.^

I gotta say this is distressing. I had something similar happen.

I asked a Target employee to look up the number and he brought a case out from the back. When I selected 2 rainbow ponies then decided to get 2 more different ones, he said he could only sell me 2 before even ringing them up.

He didn't mention a system message he just said "to be fair to others and because it's part of the reset". Thankfully there was another employee that stated "They're not Funkos" and he begrudgingly relented.

I just don't think this is fair. Sure if someone wants to buy a whole case of the same item but they're all different styles. What if you have 3 kids that each want a pony?!

I can't say for sure but the employee was being really pushy about only letting us have 2 and it was before he started ringing them up. I really feel like if there was a system message that popped up when scanning all 4 he wouldn't have let us purchase them so maybe the register message is set by the individual store?

Same here, ours is closing and it's super sad. They get a lot of things you don't see at Walmart or Target and there's no such thing as mom-and-pop stores anymore.

I'm extra bummed because my grandma used to work there and I have a lot of memories of her there. Now that she's passed away there's nowhere to go that she used to be.

Off Topic / Re: Star Wars The Last Jedi

Enjoying reading this thread a lot! I have been on other boards and it's more along the lines of "TLJ sucks/It killed Star Wars/It's stupid" rather than calming discussing pros and cons and thoughts about it. Thanks ladies and gents!

I think Force Awakens was a more even movie (less ups and downs and tone issues regarding humor) but Last Jedi just holds my interest more.

I came out wanting a whole movie of just Luke, Rey, and Kylo.

It felt like they did a disservice to the other characters by under utilizing them or ignoring any kind of arc all together. Poe's arc consisted of one line to Finn about being patient when Poe really fudged the rebels throughout the whole movie. Not only did they lose all the bombers and many fighter pilots ignoring direct orders from Leia, if he hadn't sent Finn and Rose on their mission then DJ wouldn't have overheard the info about the escape pods and ruined the rebels' plan to escape to Crait undetected. But even that could have been worked into an interesting arc but the only blow back is Leia's slap and then 10 seconds later it's completely undercut with his "Permission to jump in a ship and blow something up?" joke line because she says yes.

I also wanted more Phasma. After seeing how fans reacted to her hardly being in the first one, and Disney acknowledging it and making a fuss about getting the same actress back, heavily featuring her in magazines, interviews, and press junkets they threw the character away. I always wanted more back story with her and Finn. To hear her say in that amazing accent to him "I raised you! I gave you a family." and Finn to be all "You stole me from my real parents!" and she's like "You're parents couldn't have protected you like the First Order has. You've seen galaxies your parents could never even dreamed of because of me." Ok, I'll stop now...rofl.

I feel so bad for Kylo. From his point of view his father wasn't really present, his teacher tried to kill him, Snoke exploited his unbalanced nature mocking him for his ambitions to become Vader (even though this is what Snoke ultimately wants) to lure Rey, and when he offers to share the galaxy with the one person he's probably felt the closest to, she refuses. After the throne room sequence (despite it being a cliched "let's rule the galaxy together" thing) he doesn't say "Join me or die", he begs her, saying please, and Rey is the one to make the first move for the light saber. Then ultimately in the finale his mother states that she "knows her son is gone" even though she should've felt that he didn't make the shot that exploded the bridge, when he questions Luke about forgiving/saving him Luke says "No", and Rey shuts the Falcon door on him when he reaches out one last time holding the dice. Is 10 rebels dying worth the chance to rule the galaxy and enact balance? Maaaaaybe, lol.

I love the CP G1s. Those big rumps and shy down looking heads are adorable and they look great together on the shelf! :lovey:

It's hard to decide when to keep going. I think I got 1 set of triplets and 2 sets of doubles but finally got the base set so I might lay off for awhile.

But it is hard to stop the Vegas mentality "If I buy just one more it *could* be a rare", lol.  :blink: That's how they getcha.  :P

Has anyone gotten a pony with a missing ribbon? Minty came out of the bag without a ribbon and it wasn't in the bag or the box, pfft.

These threads are always interesting to me because everyone is different.

I find it changes over time for me. I used to really be bothered by head/body mismatches but as I get older I'm more okay with it.

I guess cancer and pindot are the things I can't stand. The idea that the cancer will get worse and I've tried removing pindot but with very little success so I try to avoid them.

Other things like regrind or highlighter spots/saddle sores are fine with me since they aren't fixable and give them character. I LOVE ponies with names written on them. There is something  adorable and endearing. If anyone has any that need a new home let me know!  :biggrin:

Haircuts can be pretty cute sometimes. My childhood Glory had her hair cut down to a fluffy mohawk and her tail was lost but this particular Glory was always a "boy" to me so it's not a big deal.

I guess missing limbs are a no-no. I have been gifted a few ponies with feet chewed off and I just can't find the heart to keep them. I don't want to throw them away in case a smaller kid can still love them so they get donated.

Like others it seems like it's a case-by-case thing as you run into them.

I need a Daisy Dreams too!

I love the FS ponies more than the regular sized ponies since they are a more equivalent to earlier ponies but so few come out.  :(

When looking into other items that never showed up I heard that we had a strike at the SF ports and boats were turned away full of stuff, but that's just hearsay.

Oh fudge! I totally missed this thread. Is anyone buying doubles to resell or will you be doing another order? I need the missing zillas!

Oh man! I hope they don't get skipped. There were so many people that wanted these.

PM for Lady Starflower!

I found her in Cali too!

Big thanks for posting the Target number! I had them pull her from the back and it looks like they are in a case of 3 with 2 C and 1 SS in there.

I agree. I think it also has to do with them being so heavy to ship. I've thought about thinning my collection but it's just not worth it.
