Toy-wave's fine, Crash. Pretty sure they're where I got my first Strarf from, now that I think about it.

The reason I'm asking is because I haven't gotten a shipping estimate or date arrival from them yet. I have gotten a email, but it was confusing in wording. It mentioned paypal and included a link, but the link was to an e-mail address.

Paypal uses email addresses for sending money.

Also, English isn't Ken's first language (he might even use a translator...), so he tends to have funnily-worded messages.

Ok, I understand most of the e-mail now, but in the e-mail it just included the sub-total of the items and insurance but it did not tell me the cost of shipping.

I'd reply asking about it. Not much you can really do without knowing about it, and he may have just forgotten? either that or you got free shipping. >.>

Ok...I'm pretty much oblivious to the proxy service and I'm planning on buying the Battle Masters Package(UMD+2Figures+OST ), Altlene and Altines. Which proxy service would you guys recommend me that I can get the 3?

The first post on this thread lists some good proxy services that you can use to get those figures. Basically you are getting a Japanese middleman to purchase the items for you, have it shipped to their Japanese address, and then shipped to you. As to which one to use, I've used Shopping Mall Japan to get a Fubuki figure and I was happy using them. I would use them again if I needed another exclusive.

I don't know about you, but all my purchases from Angolz have been well in quality. Their only fault from my experience is they don't always update their website completely. I believe you just had a simple Quality Check Problem and not an actual Angolz problem since the stand is inside the box which is unopened until you receive it.

My verdict on Angolz's status remains the same.
