I just got confirmation from Nippon-Export they have one for me :D
Hope it's less costly than the other shop :?
Bad news.....I got mine from Nippon-Export & the shipping costs to Europe were quite big...so you can end up in 40-60$ area :( Sorry
But at least they have nice customer service (next day answer).
High shipping costs to Europe ? But it's a French site :shock:
Yyyy.... :shock: :? Nippon-Export = French??....The company is located in Japan or maybe we're talking about different Nippon-Export-s....

Mine figure arrived last week...but I can't see it :( 'cause I'm so far away :(

Man, that dragon is awesome...
I didn't buy it because I thought Aya's expression made her look like she's stoned or something, but that's a nice dragon.

Cancelled your shipment ot just didn't ship it ?

hast shipped yet :/ its finalized and everything but its been 4-5 weeks now

Isn't "finalized" the same as shipped? Because mine has been finalized since late August with a "Order has been processed.." mark, so I assumed it has already shipped. I selected the cheapest delivery, so I wasn't too concerned with it until now.

So, what's the deal with TokyoCentral? Is "finalized" the same as "shipped"?

I think so, though I thought it was wierd that you had to submit your credit card twice, once when preordering and once when it said final and they really charge you. The shipping took about 2 to 4 weeks, SAL is slow as hell

I ordered mine from TC in May it finalized 3 weeks ago I got it in the mail last week it depends on what kind of shipping you got.I think it was 4 to 8 weeks shipping .I think they said they pre-ordered too many

animegamers sells it too for $36. UPS Ground for about $8. total $45. That's not too bad. I bought my Air Gear manga from them, no problems whatsoever.

edit: hmm... $62 for vol 1-12 missing like four volumnes (out of stock)... worth it or not?

Anyone living in the New York area and in need of some Aya-love, be sure to visit the Kinokuniya in Manhattan. I was there today to buy some BLEACH and Air Gear, and lo and behold, they had at least two Vol. 12+Aya figurine sets.

43 bucks each. So... if you want one.. there is your chance.

Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 3:41 pm

^ what volume is Air Gear up to now anyway? And oh yea, you check out the Bleach anime yet? any thoughts?

Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 4:51 pm
by Dembol
I've seen six in on-line shops, but somebody posted that 7 is out in the Air Gear thread. I haven't seen it yet so I guess that only 6 are out.

Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 6:12 pm
by MrProphet
Yeah, I have up to 7 now... Air Gear is waaay too weird, but I can't resist Oh!Great's art. 8) Oh, and that girl - Akito/Agito is just strange.. but cute. 8)

Saw BLEACH yesterday. It was pretty much same as the manga, 1 chapter - 1 episode. Little things were changed (like, Ichigo now looks much older, than he should be), but on the whole, it was pretty good show.

wait... I thought Akito/Agito was a guy? That's the person who has that "shark" personality or something right?

Yeah, he's male.

Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 11:39 pm
by moyism
thought so, cause I else Ikki's reactions to him would have been wrong if Akito was a girl. Though I do got to admit, I def thought he was a girl for a bit.

Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2004 11:06 am
by MrProphet
Heh, yeah, I knew she was a he after they showed him with a bare chest. But I was kinda hoping, since Ikki isn't getting any love lately...

He's too much of a "Nagi" for any romance. Although, I was kinda hoping with that Maya/Makiko-lookalike girl in volume 6.

Although... Ringo would be hot too, if only she'd loose her glasses. 8)

What, you mean Rika? She's practically his Mom! :?
She's really hot, though. I'd wrestle her. :wink:
