Buyf/a/g pasta.

Suggestions, experiences and complains are welcome.

Big trio:
http://www.hlj.com/top/Fig
http://www.amiami.com/
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/
Brand new figures, Paypal, EMS/Sal shipping. Amiami is the cheapest.
-----------
(On par with the above)
http://biginjap.com/
Low prices for some items ( even lower than Amiami sometimes), limited/exclusive figures are sold, they accept upfront payments and have a proxy service.

Mandarake is good for figures that you can't find in shops from above. Use jap/eng languages both (you can search for jap names on myfigurecollection).
-----------

Chinese shop, garage kits and some exclusive pre-painted figures.
