Gets from sunyshore

May 24, 2013 22:13

Wednesday I finally got my "shiny" package from sunyshore, which was blocked at customs since May 3. Online track was saying that they were contacting the buyer or seller, but in fact they didn't do nothing and I had to call them... Anyway, I was so excited :3

Awesome collection! Congrats! I just bought myself the shiny golden magikarp plush too! I can't wait till he comes in the mail!! As soon as he comes in I'm posting a pic of him on the journal! I wanted the giant karp too but I wouldn't have the space. Just glad I was able to find my own shiny golden magikarp plush at a very cheap price considering how expensive he is on ebay right now, but I bought mine from another site :) way cheaper

Thank you o/

I don't know whether I will have enough place too lol
(well in fact I still have a little space but hope the Karp will go where I want, not to mention that I would like four other large plushies : Dittochu, laying Pikachu, Wailord cushion, sleeping Oshawott ^^).

Yeah this little Magikarp is a must have :)
I love his orange topstitchings (we see them better here : http://pokechildhood.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/4/1/19416539/3385204_orig.jpg). And he is so soft :3

Aww! So cute! I love it! Thanks! :) Can't wait till I get mine! So excited :) And good luck finding your plushies! I have a want too that I'm trying to achieve getting. It's a sandshrew reversible poke ball plush by the brand TOMY. It goes from sandshrew to poke ball in one zip and vice versa! I'm having trouble finding him. Hoping to get him soon! I have the smaller master ball version but I'm looking for the bigger TOMY version.

Nice gets! I like the Poliwhirl but I don't have enough space in my room.

Just out of curiosity, when did you order the Sunyshore package? Did you order it before the 4/27 promotion? Mine has still not arrived yet and I contacted Gin but she said to wait until Mid June before getting the items replaced as I refuse to just take a loss. Then you mentioned that it was stuck in customs. I didn't have tracking but which country was the package shipping to? Did you just call customs to find out and used the tracking number? I'm just trying to figure out privately what I can do since it hasn't arrived and it definitely should have.

Thanks ^^

I paid some stuff before April 27 but my package was sent on May 1st I guess, and it was sent by EMS. That's why I had a track number and some informations (yet not totally true lol). I live in France.
I called the postal service since information were not moving for a while.

Hope your situation will work out. Once I waited a package for 2 months (although it was registered lol).

superhero83 May 25 2013, 14:31:44 UTC

I am so jealous that your package arrived. I am probably going to consider EMS from now on for orders over $100 ( ... )

chromapika May 25 2013, 14:53:07 UTC

I understand because I'm always scared about loss or theft of packages.
I don't know. I had to sign to collect the parcel and there were bar codes, so in absolute it must be possible. But as a recipient, without tracking number that seems very complicated.
No, the one which took two months (if not three) is a package that was lost, that we were undertaking the proces of repayment, and that finally arrived.
Usually my packages (registered) arrive in a week or less.
And for this one with poliwhirl (unregistered), it took 10 days.

Individual plush all have their own variations. It's not that the re-release has a bigger head, it's just that that individual plush does! Like for me, my second substitute actually has a smaller head than my old one. :)

The same goes for Japanese/US versions really... people like to compare two plush and generalize it to something like "the Japanese ones are like this and the US ones are like this" but in reality, it's just that no two plush are exactly the same. Of course if they're made with different fabric that's one thing, but yeah.

chromapika May 24 2013, 23:28:52 UTC

Hum ok. Yet, I didn't say the re-release sub have a bigger head, but on the contrary a smaller one. Like yours in fact. And I said that because amongst all the persons I know who have made a comparison, the result is the same. But it may be a coincidence ^^

kaisinel May 25 2013, 01:56:30 UTC

Oh, whoops, misread XD But I think it probably is a coincidence, since my bf also has a re-release and its head is smaller than my original's.

kaisinel May 25 2013, 02:53:02 UTC

Oh geez, I mixed that up didn't I?! AGH I'm sorry! Let's put it this way... 3 sub plush, two re-releases, and the original has a medium sized head compared to the other two, haha...

I received my Poli cushion and I didn't expect it to be so big either! And I love those tees, I myself have the Night Shades and the Psybeams tees. I'm in love with that patchwork Pikachu too :) Très belle collection! :)

chromapika May 25 2013, 11:29:41 UTC

Oh yes I remember the Psybeam tee. I could have bought it but then I thought I would have had too many similar tees. So I'm aiming on getting some Redbubble Tees, but price is a bit higher there.
Merci beaucoup :3
(même si il faut que j'arrange les étagères pour vraiment bien la montrer lol)

laboltuque May 25 2013, 15:10:58 UTC

Haha well I only bought those two because they are my favorites =P And I don't want to end up having a bunch of similar tees either.
Héhé oui, c'est toujours un problème le manque de place/le rangement x)
