Figure selling site Nippon Yasan

After a long time, this criminal's site that has stolen 500 euro worth of figures from me by not delivering them might finally be going down the drain.

2 Years of COVID scamming Figure collectors, they might actually finally get what they deserve. Only wish we could all sue their ass into oblivion.

In my case, they stole 50€ from me because I luckily claimed every euro that was paid to them through PayPal (a preorder of a Kaguya nendroid was overdue). If I hadn't done that, they would have stolen 500€ from me too.

I don't know about how to claim to them through legal actions but I didn't planned anything because it's a pain in the ass.

Sadly, the problem I had was I paid with a pre-paid credit card, and it was already more than a year in advance. Should have gone with PayPal but i personally never had any problems with them before COVID. The most useful part about them was that they faked the price which made it, so you never had to pay import taxes over your order.

Would have loved to sue them, if I knew of a way to make it possible.

This thread was more to make people rejoice who bought figures from these scam artists. There are plenty of shady figure sellers on the market. In the figure thread, J-list was mentioned and only ever order one thing from them that never arrived. Lucky, it never got released out of its pre-order state to take my money.

I'm personally slowing down with buying figures. Got way too many, and right now only have 4 coming.
Switched to Solaris Japan, seeing as I ordered some figures from them that you couldn't pre-order anymore. The lucky thing with that site is that you can automatically ask lower price on the bill for lower import cost.

And for some reason, this one caught my attention.

Orders paid with PayPal can only be claimed in 180 days since payment. In case of card payment, check with your bank. Prepaid cards (if they are bank backed) maybe have some buyer protection. If you have paid the order through cash or the card is not backed by any bank, well, I don't know what can you do. :gura-pain:

At least in my case I've acquired a lesson about not paying anything in advance to the store if that store works outside of my country or EU.

Now, an anecdote: Because of NY scamming me and various problems with the postal operator (one time I went to the airport to get my package due to import problems), I've started a website where I evaluate and list stores inside EU and Japan, and I found stores in my country where I can buy some interesting figures and I don't have to buy them directly to Japan as first instance. I've checked the prices and there's not a great difference buying from store inside than directly to Japan (including taxes and extra charges from postal operator).

It's a WIP and only in Spanish because I don't have much free time to work in it, so consider that as a notepad of the stores that I know until now: https://japporters.com/

I hope someday I make something with more potential than a blog talking about each store. :gura-pain:

I had no problems with Nippon Yasan in the past but my last pre-order they asked me to pay because they said they item was ready to ship and then i never heard back from them again.
Luckily i paid with credit card so i just did a chargeback when they ghosted me.

Strangely enough, 2 months later i suddenly get an email from them that the item is no longer available and that they canceled my order. :bep-what:

Too bad though. They had a good selection of stuff and lots of shipping options when they were still healthy and fully operational.


Apparently they also had a sister site that sold onaholes and such that went down as well.

The best about them was getting exclusive figures for a cheaper price. For instance, the ones from Native or the whole seven deadly sins line.
Their faking of the actual cost really saved me a lot of money, but I guess they promised too much to their customers, which in the end they couldn't make true.

I got a mail to pay for a certain order also, but refused to pay seeing as I was still missing about 3 figures before that one and never got a reply. I even hounded them on their
live-chat. Every week I'd go through the same routine with their live-chat people, accusing them of just being criminals and that they should just admit they scammed their
customers and go bankrupt. Seem the last part came true.

Seeing as their sister site is doing, it can be safe to assume they are down the drain.

What pissed me off the most, is that I was collecting the Seven heavenly virtues, seeing as I got the deadly sins I wanted them all in my collection.

This is a big oof, I have so much on order over a few different stores that I'm always a bit worried this will happen to me as well.
If I really want something and am not too worried about price I just go strait from AmiAmi, since it is a proper physical store in JP that sells over seas.
I also have orders with Hobby Search (always been good for me), Akimomo (site is a little odd, but it has free shipping to Australia for some reason) and another Australian store called Sugotoys.
