A "normal" sized figure is about 2000 yen S/H, and Alter Fate's box is definitely bigger than 2 of those. Adun is right, 4000 yen to ship Alter Fate isn’t too surprising because the box is massive.

Fortunately for me here in SG, I am friendly with my local store and he only preordered the one for me since he was not sure of getting any more than that thanks to how hot Yoko's orders were in Japan. I am sure her sales will rise when she gets released, and there might be a shortage of stock for local demand and stocks will (again) get recalled. Woo preordered Enterbrain’s Yoko as well.

I have majorly toned down my figure purchases the last few months, but no matter how you slice it US$150 is a lot to spend on 2 pieces of pretty PVC. My only advice to you would be to set a limit on your spending early and stick to it. Impulse buying is your worst enemy, which is why I employ 2 rules. (1) No figures of characters I do not absolutely adore and (2) no figure from series I only <I>finished</I> watching in the last 6 months. I loved True Tears and would probably jump on any Hiromi figure right now... but who knows what my opinions will be 6 months from now. It very well could have been $60 down the drain. For me, it's about getting a figure because of the character and not because of the figure itself. There are plenty of pretty ones out there, but I'm not going to force myself to watch/play something to make wasting money legit. Figure are awesome, but remember, they can be a HUGE financial strain. @nckl: Be careful about starting because it is a HUGE financial commitment.

This is good to know because I'm *thinking* of getting into the whole figure scene, and so I'm trying to learn anything and everything about it before I make a decision whether to jump in or not. However, stuff like 4,000 yen in shipping costs alone is a huge turnoff for me. I can at least stomach $9.50 though ... - - - (BTW, sorry to put this here but I have no idea how else to contact you. I'm pleasantly surprised to see my Impartially Biased blog end up on your blogroll (thanks!) but long story short, I accidentally deleted it, and I was so pissed off at myself that I'm gonna leave it deleted, so you can take it off your list.)
