laurenk418 • 1 month ago • #123535406Thanks for the insight! (ba dum dum tss...) What do you think is the safest shipping method for these figures, in your opinion? I usually avoid Surface bc it takes so long, but I'm wondering if it'd be safer than being loaded onto a plane? First time buying from them/dealing with PMMA so I'll do anything to lessen the risk of it coming in pieces, lol.

LOL! I’d always go with whatever is quickest and FedEx and DHL tend to be lightening fast and pretty careful in my experience (tho anything can happen - just depends if something heavier falls on your box or whatever! Rare in my experience tho!)

That being said, I HAVE had an Insight figure shipped via surface once and it didn’t break so who knows … a lot of it comes down to an unlucky jostling I suppose.

laurenk418 • 1 month ago • #123511192Hey, since you're the resident Insight/B'full connoisseur can I ask, in your experience is it better to PO a PMMA figure from them through Solaris or Nin-nin? I'm looking at PO'ing my first figure from them and I don't know which shop has better packaging for their figures, if possible I really don't want it to arrive broken/in parts lmao

Hey! There's always a risk of breakage with these 3D print figures, but it's been way less than a 70% chance like the shops estimate for awhile now AND typically if there is a break, it's usually minor and in a spot that's pretty easy to repair with glue. That said, most of the figures I've received from them more recently have arrived intact!

I use both Solaris and Nin-Nin and overall, I'd say they're about the same, it's just down to preference. Solaris might put slightly more protective materials in the box and use a bigger shipping box, but they only offer EMS or Surface and their shipping seems to be much more expensive than Nin-Nin. Nin-Nin has great prices on Fedex/DHL (you choose that one and they seem to pick whichever is more convenient / cheaper for them) and the shipping is super quick (at least in Ohio where I am!)

Nin-Nin does seem to sell the Insight / Fots Exclusive/limited versions on their website at a proxy mark-up while Solaris doesn't (but I think it is probably cheaper to just use a regular proxy if you want one of those).

Both Solaris and Nin-Nin have loyalty points systems, and I'm not really sure which is better - I haven't compared them side by side, tbh!

Solaris probably ships out (goes from the figure being released to being shipped to you) sliiiightly faster than Nin-Nin, but again, even that can be a crap shoot!

glad they got there safely

LOL It seems like the AI pulled some of that stuff from B'Full's little blurbs? Pretty funny.
