    Just wanted to share some tips and tricks for using suruga-ya.com to import retro games and model kits. This video is NOT sponsored, I just use the site a lot and people often ask me questions about it, so I thought making a video might help! :)

    It's also perfect for ordering new runners if you absolutely have to. Online warehouse proxies like Zenmarket can act as the middle man for you.

      Never heard of zen market, I will check it out. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the great video! I'm definitely going to be using this to see if I can find a Kshatriya Repaired.

    Thanks for the video. What kind of condition is a used model kit? Is it partial or already built?

    • @pixxellie
      @pixxellie  7 месяцев назад +1

      my experience they are always sealed and unbuilt

    Thanks for this video.
    I have been wanting to get some vintage anime cassettes (definitely the Macross DYRL soundtrack) and I think this could be my solution.

    5:05 A lot of the time the Japanese spelling can be found towards the bottom of the page in the Notes section above References. Great video will probably give it a go.

      Thank you! I’m pretty sure you can get gatcha on both surugaya and eBay

    Jokes aside Surugaya is probably the place where I found the most treasure.

    I ordered on one of these sales, and it's generally good, but be careful, because customs still screw you over depending on how expensive it is.
    I ordered an MG special coating sazabi, and because it was over €150 it was subject to paid inspection and horribly handled and crumpled when it arrived. Luckily all the pieces were intact, but still, be aware of your own country's customs procedures, in Spain they're notorious for being expensive and unreliable.

      hmm maybe it's different in the US. I have definitely ordered packages of $200+ USD and had no issues!

    checked to see if they had a FA ZZ ver ka and unfortunately no. No biggie, nice to know there's another proxy site to buy kits straight from Japan if the need arises.

    • @pixxellie
      @pixxellie  7 месяцев назад

      it's not actually a proxy site, it's just a shop. There's no middle man, but glad it was helpful!

    I'm going to say thanks for making this video but also I'm going to do my best to pretend I never saw this because jeez this site is dangerous. First go a MG Zeta 1.0 for $87 CAD shipping included, great price, $5 a piece J-Pop CDs, records...I'll have to revisit this another time.

    • @pixxellie
      @pixxellie  6 месяцев назад

      I'm so sorry for all the damage I have caused! my condolences!
      but in all seriousness the have an awesome selection of music, games, model kits, and even apparel. It's hard to browse but theres so much treasure in there.
