Rejoice peeps!! AmiAmi has just opened their English Site earlier, which means it’s the start of their International shipment service!! ^^
For now they only accept Paypal as payment and Just like Hobby Search, they only provide EMS service for shipment. There are no Point System, but the Discount Price plus the availability of “Limited/Exclusive Goods” which AmiAmi is famous for is good enough to satisfied the customers ^^
Keep in mind that there are some restrictions, for example you cannot cancel your orders. Please read the FAQ(English) carefully before making your orders.
They just started their International Service, so more options and better service should be available in the future ^^
I, for one, is really excited with the news. This means that I have more option on where I can order stuffs, not to mention it’s AmiAmi ^^
Via AmiAmi(English).

Preordered my Kotobukiya Mio from there… very nice prices. 😀
October 28, 2009 at 4:05 am |
i use this new to make a question.
Any one know about this new Konata nendoroid?
http://www.otacute.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=2636
I preordered konata and Kagami, but there are no info on the net.
October 28, 2009 at 4:16 am |
Here you go:
http://www.saitama-np.co.jp/luckystar/index.html
It’s in Japanese, but pretty much only 7,000 pieces going to be made and the Nendoroid is scheduled for Spring 2010 release.
October 28, 2009 at 4:21 am
Yeah, i read on otacute the release date, but the fotos are the same of the comptiq versión, the only diference i see its the tail.
Anyway i have preordered the two models of this new nendoroids on otacute, i wait for more info on december.
Thanks for the info wcloudxkumo, its a precius info this web for mi ^^
October 28, 2009 at 4:27 am |
I just found out a week ago! Great news. I managed to order the light-up Marisa. :3
October 28, 2009 at 4:30 am |
this is terrible news! my wallet!!! 😛
October 28, 2009 at 4:44 am |
I’m still going to stick with Hobby Search. I looked at their site earlier. Their stock’s worse than HS for sure. >>
October 28, 2009 at 7:43 am |
But they have things HS doesn’t, which is a reason to use them.
October 28, 2009 at 8:50 am |
Their stock is worse because AmiAmi is pretty much the MOST popular and successful Hobby store in Japan. I’ve been ordering from them for almost 4 years now.
Anytime anything Vocaloid related goes up the pre-orders are closed within 20 minutes.
October 28, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Well, they have nendoroid Luka, which before I’ve only found on Otacute.
October 28, 2009 at 12:44 pm

hs has it
October 28, 2009 at 12:44 pm
lol this was ment for Guy
October 28, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I meant, that you can reserve. Sure HS has it, but it closed to reservations before I got there (and I wanted SAL shipping). HLJ closed to reservations before I got to it even though I searched for it every couple hours, must have been when I slept.
“Has it” = “Has it and I can order it.” 😀
October 28, 2009 at 6:07 am |
Whoa, that’s awesome 😀
October 28, 2009 at 7:04 am |
Oh no!!!
Hide my wallet!!!!!!!!
October 28, 2009 at 7:05 am |
Do we have to pay right away when we preorders things or when they become instock??
October 28, 2009 at 7:14 am |
Pay right away I believe. My Japanese friend always orders from their and I have to pay her right away so I’m assuming that.
October 28, 2009 at 7:16 am
I preordered Marisa kirisame and amiami has send me a mail a week ago telling me this:
*PLEASE DO NOT PAY YET*
When the item is in stock, and your shipping fee has been calculated,
we will invoice you the grand total.
Please wait for our next mail.
(If there is any release date change, we will let you know.)
October 28, 2009 at 7:11 am |
AHHH YEAAAAH!! Haha, I wasn’t aware of this until now. Woohoo AmiAmi!
October 28, 2009 at 7:37 am |
Wow, not needing proxy services for many limited edition items would rock so hard..
October 28, 2009 at 7:39 am |
Dammit, if I didn’t already pre-order Megurine Luka somewhere that doesn’t allow cancellations, cheaper here… but now that I think of it, that site offers SAL.
Still, options!
October 28, 2009 at 8:19 am |
In my case I didnt know about amiami (probably because it was not an English site). Will check it out for compare prices.
October 28, 2009 at 11:42 pm |
You didnt know it? shame on you phossil ^^. Well amigo know will you love it!!
October 28, 2009 at 8:41 am |
BEST. THING. EVER.
October 28, 2009 at 8:50 am |
I’m switching over from Hobby Search… the prices are way more enticing, though I’m leaving 1 pre-order on HS just so i can use up all the points i collected.
October 28, 2009 at 8:59 am |
Ordered a Little Busters figure 😀
October 28, 2009 at 10:30 am |
best news ever.
October 28, 2009 at 10:40 am |
AmiAmi is so popular there is a high chance you`ll miss out 😦
but its another option
October 28, 2009 at 11:48 am |
Haven’t shopped at these japanese online stores yet.
Had only bought some gunpla runners from HLJ which turned out pretty expensive.
October 28, 2009 at 11:51 am |
Cannot cancel ordered item huh… That’s not good as I sometimes would cancel item that i’ve preordered… x3 Well but it’s good to see more options on buying stuff.. xD
October 28, 2009 at 11:59 am |
Awesome news but the restrictions are just WTF. It does make one think carefully on whether or not to order. Oh well I am not that much into buying figures anymore, so only limited ones will really catch my attention, if even that.
October 28, 2009 at 12:30 pm |
Well, maybe it’d lead to people being a bit more sensible about money 😉
The “Delays broke my wallet” never made any sense, and now when people commit, they know they do. Might result in less impulse purchases, once people train themselves.
October 28, 2009 at 1:53 pm |
Nice, now I have a place to pre-order limited/exclusives from.
October 28, 2009 at 7:02 pm |
Nice, this will be a good compliment to Hobby Search.
October 28, 2009 at 10:57 pm |
I’m new in all this thing. But how do they send to you your preorders? I mean, which incoterm is it? FOB, CIF, DEQ, DES, DDU, DDP? I mean, the package arrive to your home? The postal service arrive to your home and give you the notification that there is a package to you to pick up? Or what?
October 28, 2009 at 11:14 pm |
They send via EMS. Meaning it goes around the globe quickly, when it reaches your country, it depends on how your country deals with EMS. But they ship it quickly, and in my case, send me a notice to come and pick it up from the post office, where I sign for it.
But I also go to the post office for SAL 😉 It just takes longer.
October 28, 2009 at 11:53 pm |
Pretty much about it.
In my case, they send it straight to my doorstep. Let’s say no one at home to receive the goods, then they’ll leave me a notice and asked to collect it at the post office. I can also ask them to send it again to my place though if I’m lazy to collect ^^;
So yeah, it depends on each country services. I think you should check your post office if you’re not sure about it.
October 28, 2009 at 11:45 pm |
There still some problems some broken links
October 29, 2009 at 2:29 am |
oh my god! maybe I can order some figures here for Italy yayyyyyyyyy 😀
November 2, 2009 at 8:25 pm |
Hi. I’m still wondering whether to switch over from HS.
Cos the main reason for me, is the difference in price
Do u have any advice?
Is is shop better than HS? or equal?
Personally, have u used it before
Do I have to pay right after I pre-order a figure that will be release in a few weeks time?
December 25, 2009 at 5:22 am |
I know it’s been over a month since this news was out but there seems to be many people here who know about AmiAmi so i’ll try my chance:
I pre-ordered a figure there that’ll be out in 2010. That item was not avaible in other online shops so i was happy with it. But then i had a question about payment: So far I only shopped from HLJ and Play-Asia like places with PayPal. And these sites direct me to the PayPal site themselves when the payment is required so all i have to do is enter my password and the payment is done.
In other words i never “SENT” money before with another method in PayPal.
So how does things work with AmiAmi? Will it be like the others too or do they get the payments in a different way?
Can somebody who uses PayPal please explain, that’d be very appreciated! 🙂
Merry Christmas 🙂
