aeonblue • 8 hours ago • #83702746Thanks for that and sharing your experience too. I’ve been wanting her for a while and wanted to see around how much she was going for and if there was plenty of her on Taobao.
I’m sorry to hear that your figure was damaged though. Hopefully the store can sort it out with you.
No problem, just avoid that particular store. The store refuses responsibility hence the bitter dispute, so I roped in the customer service as a last resort. I am tempted to do a credit card chargeback but you will be banned with a single chargeback and I cannot afford that because I have several preorders on TB with deposits paid due till middle of next year. Sigh~

On a brighter note, I received this other one too and she is gorgeous (pre-ordered from another store, thankfully). Box damaged but the figure is perfect so I am really happy. She is MASSIVE and HEAVY, and just beautiful.

aeonblue • 10 hours ago • #83702635Would you mind sharing the link of where you bought her from?
m.intl.taobao.c...

The seller upped the price a few days after I bought Lilith. I got her for 100rmb cheaper brand new.

And previously there was only a new figures option when I made the purchase... and now they have added secondhand ones. Which probably means that... there were returns.

Also I never bought from a shop with anything less than 4.9 rating or less than 4 stars. A lesson to me to be more rigorous and necessary with TB purchases from now on.

Smittywerbenya • 14 hours ago • #83701925I take it you used taobao? Did you use a proxy and what shipping method? Or what did you use. I had a bad experience using EMS Wuhan but no issues with anything else thus far.
Yeah, Taobao. I do everything myself because proxies are unnecessarily expensive for me. And I have been doing so for over a year. I used EMS and the official logistics from Taobao... and never had any major problems - a few bumps and knocks on the figure box is normal and fine for me because their packaging is not Japan-standard.

This is the first time I actually received both a damaged figure and box... and the outer brown box is pretty much intact. I don't want to be suspicious but I am.

I am in a bitter dispute with the seller now - Taobao usually sides with the sellers from what I have heard, especially when it comes to foreign buyers... but we will see.

evenstar88 • 20 hours ago • #83670043Yeah I went to watch review videos of her and saw that it was pretty much static. Which really sucks. That's what I get for trying to skive off expensive shipping fees, aftermarket prices and customs.

evenstar88 • 1 day ago • #83663427Anyone who has Lilith, can you let me know if her scythe head rotates? I just received my Lilith and she took a real bang because the shipping was a major fail T.T The box is in dreadful condition and her scythe staff got bent. I can probably bend the staff back in place but I realized that the scythe rotates easily on the staff and I just wanted to know if that is normal or if it was damaged.

My Lilith's scythe doesn't rotate either. If I shake her display area she'll sometimes let go of the scythe, but it stays in place. I heard of it falling often, so I tried to secure it very firmly into the peg. Sorry about the box condition and damage, I'd be devastated... She's an amazing looking figure.

kylinas • 21 hours ago • #83668871My Lilith's scythe head doesn't do that I'm sorry :( it sounds damaged.
I do have a small scratch on the top tip of mine at the end of the pole from when it fell while she was holding it once though.
