Also, I know I've asked this before, but that thread seems to have died, so can anyone please tell me if this figurine is as good as it looks in its image?

I just wonder because it's so big and sometimes the bigger things don't look as good as in their image.
Hey KH, sorry no one has responded on this. The Goku figure you have pictured is pretty cool and is made out of soft vinyl. I'm no longer getting the soft vinyl figures (not a fan) but I know some that love them. Not sure if that helped...

Thank you. :)

I'd like a nice Goku figurine (and a Piccolo one aswell, but I might get that chance early next year), so if I have the cash next week, I'll probably grab it.

So anyway, how good is Hobby Link Japan in terms of reliability and postage prices for multiple items?

There's a larger amount of positive feedback here, but still some bad feedback as well.

Luckily, I had excellent service. Here's the rundown:

Nov.16 - Order Confirmation
Nov.23 - Payment Request
Nov.26 - Shipping Notice

Dec.08 - Order received safely at the door. Items are in great shape.

Never had a problem. Shipping isn't too bad to Australia but not sure on the prices where you are.

So if I buy, say three items that charge about $25 for postage each, I won't have to pay $75 for all three?
