I've ordered from AmiAmi and HLJ a few times. Between the two of them, AmiAmi is certainly cheaper (especially with their current shipping promotion), although the lack of accounts or automated payment system is a little unfortunate. I've never had problems with them, though. I like their packing better than HLJ, too.

Interesting... maybe I'll try out AmiAmi next time.
Gotta say, I do prefer HLJ's website layout more though. Its just so much easier to browse through.

Yeah me too.
Seeing how much work goes into our figures is rather amazing. But the problem now is that the more I appreciate them, the more I get the feeling that these sculpture artists are way underpaid.
I liked it at the beginning of the video, where everyone gathers with their ideas. I'd love to have that job, I'm sure there are loads of us who think "
I wish there was a figure of *** character, wearing his/her *** outfit, doing this *** cool post" for their favourite characters
