AMIAMI
I believe most of you who own the
PSO2 Premium Package know of this site. AmiAmi has a wide selection of pretty much everything, and their prices are often the lowest on the market. They have a broad selection of some cute PSO2 merchandise, such as Rappy plushies and phone straps. They're also selling an AmiAmi exclusive version of the
PSO2 PS Vita package (since their sales in the PSO2 Premium Package went sky high). Worth checking it out, if you're one of those extreme collectors.
This is one of the pages I, myself, most frequently buy from. Their customer support is genuine, and you can always cancel your pre-ordered items
(unless you turn that into a habit, then they get mad at you). Keep in mind though that parcels from AmiAmi almost always end up in customs
(if your country's into that kind of stuff). AmiAmi also sells
pre-owned items.
HOBBY SEARCH
Hobby Search pretty much offers the same selection as AmiAmi does
(when it comes to Phantasy Star goods), but at a little higher price. I usually head over to Hobby Search in case the item has been sold out on AmiAmi.
Pro tip: for all you CAST lovers, they sell tons of
Armore Core and other mecha stuffs over there!
HOBBY LINK JAPAN
Hobby Link Japan (HLJ for short) sells a lot of hobby-related tools, but also some figurines and other merchandise. Their selection isn't the widest when it comes to Phantasy Star, but it's still worth a check.
This is the page you'll be visiting a lot if you'd one day would like to sculpt out a figure of your PSO2 character yourself. They've got pretty much all the materials you'll be needing.
TOKYO HUNTER
This is one of the most exclusive figure-retailers you'll come across. They have loads of rare/uncommon figurines in stock, and also take on commissions for hunting down a specific figure for you. Tokyo Hunter is one of the few retailers which took pre-orders for the
PSP2i Nagisa figure, since this figure originally was "Volks exclusive" and only sold on
Volks own website. You could say that Tokyo Hunter pretty much works as a figure provider, like SutoCorp/CN-USA works like WebMoney providers for us.
PLAY-ASIA
This page has been around for an eternity. They pretty much have every Phantasy Star game ever made in their search history. Their prices are a tad high though
(unless you've come over a few 10$ off coupons). I'd say you only buy from this page if you can't find the thing you're looking for in other places. They do offer
free shipping on the
PSO2 PS Vita Special Package though. Worth a buy!
YESASIA
YesAsia is one of those pages you never thought sold Phantasy Star related items, but in fact they do. Quite a lot of 'em. The prices on YesAsia are a bit high, but they pretty much always offer free shipping. Only drawback is that the shipping takes quite a long time. Never had any problems with my parcels ending up in customs when buying via YesAsia though.
MY FIGURE COLLECTION
This is one epic page. Not only is it a huge database filled with figures and anime goods (check out the
Phantasy Star selection, for example), but it's also a huge forum and selling site. A lot of people sell their collections on this site to a very nice price. You can also add figures to your wishlist, and you'll be given an automatic email as soon as this figure is being sold. You can also subscribe to be given information whenever they update the information of any figure. Perhaps you'd like to subscribe to these upcoming PSO2
HUnewearl and
FOnewearl figures?
I hang around this site quite a lot. If you'd like to view my whole collection, you can find it here.
MANDARAKE
NOTE: SOME GOODS ON MANDARAKE ARE RATED 18+
Like pre-owned items? Like doujinshis? Then you've come to the right place. With low handling costs and shipping fees, Mandarake is the perfect place if you're interested in just buying a small amount of items. These guys get in new items every single day, so visiting the site every now and then to search for Phantasy Star related items might not be such a bad idea!
Their search-engine is a bit old fashioned, so if you want to look for anything Phantasy-related, try all different kinds of searches (PSO, Phantasy, ファンタシー, etc).
Be warned, though, they don't like you not paying them in time (or canceling your order). If you fail to pay them, they'll ban your name and address from the site, so that you'll never be able to make an order from that place again. Make sure to check your mails frequently if you buy anything from here.
RAKUTEN
This site will pretty much eat all of your money. Not because it's expensive, but because it has got so many items at super cheap prices. I mean, the official
PSO Light Novel for only ¥79, that's a damn good price (it sure is a hell lot cheaper than
the ones on eBay). They also have a (very impressive) point system. Whenever you buy something, you earn points to a total of 1% of what the item cost
(1 point = ¥1), and if you buy for more than ¥10'000
($115) at once, the points you receive is multiplied by 10. It's almost as if you're given a 10% discount right away.
Their shipping is very fast. The only thing that takes some time is after you've placed your order. It might take a day or two before you're given a mail which has you confirm the contents of the parcel.
They always update their site with new stuff everyday, so make sure you check in every now and then to see if something interesting has landed in their shops.
Most of the things you buy from Rakuten are pre-owned.
Side note: When searching at Rakuten, only use the Japanese names for the items your looking for (i.e, ファンタシースターオンライン instead of Phantasy Star Online).
EBAY
When all else fails, use eBay. I'm not saying that eBay is a bad site, just that the stuff people sell on here are mainly over-priced. Sometimes you may run across some really cool and limited goods on eBay though, so it's worth checking it out every now and then.
YAHOO AUCTIONS JAPAN
This might be the most complex store to buy from, but you'll surely find tings you want here. Yahoo Auctions is pretty much Japan's answer to eBay. Normally, you would need a Japanese address and credit card to be able to buy from this site, but there are a few ways of getting around this
(though it'll cost a bit more). This way is called "
Proxy Service". There are a lot of different providers who accept requests on buying things from Yahoo Auctions, shipping it to their facility, then sending it all the way over to you. Do expect a handling fee and an even higher shipping fee when using these providers though.
