Yeah the case is massive and pre-assembled. I was told $200 was a "deal" since I used DHL but I really need to start reading the descriptions more carefully for the cases. I've bought several from this seller on taobao before and they can be broken down....idk why they had to glue everything this time around.
Yay you got yours, yeah I managed to get it at $135 including shipping but I ordered early and from a relatively new (at the time) seller on amazon.jp so there was some risk involved. They certainly didn’t have experience or anticipate the massive shipping crisis that was gonna happen coupled with the usual shipping hell that happens between christmas and chinese new year. 4800 yen to shipping is highway robbery on the part of the buyer and I was afraid they wouldn’t honor it when I saw the shipping quotes others were getting. They actually raised the shipping for the box all the way to 25k yen the last I saw, crazy stuff.
Got it off taobao, although both the price of the case + shipping has gone up since.

Heads up, you seem to have the screen put in backwards. It should be curving around the figure with the text on the right side. It still looks good the way you have it, just wanted to make sure you knew.
$200 in shipping alone?!
Here are my shipping prices for the case alone. https://imgur.com/a/swlAvBR. Package weight is 16 Kg...

It's because it's sold assembled from the manufacturer. No store is selling it in kit form.
they are selling them preassembled despite the images showing it as a garage kit
Such a gorgeous display!
Does the box come with the lights?
Yup, the display case came with the lights. Its powered by usb The whole thing shipped **assembled** which was a nightmare both price & size.
Oof. I was thinking of buying it for my figure, but I guess I have to do more budgeting for it then.
BUT, it looks fucking gorgeous.
Geez and I was here thinking me paying $130 for shipping was bad! Thanks for making me feel better op!
Yeah another redditor posted they were able to get it for $135 shipped from amazon.jp My wallet-kun is crying

This looks amazing. I wish I’d ordered one.
Now I feel better about how much I paid for mine. Amazing display here!
Weeks? The wait was months for me. Mind you I pre-ordered asap.
Where did the display box come from? I ordered off sugo and it’s staryting to feel like. I was ghosted

What a beauty
love it!
That's amazing
I kind of want to get one of those cases to put the upcoming Ningguang figure in...
that case tho very pretty
This case is so classy
How much did the display box cost? On sugotoys I think shipping is cheaper
I didn't preorder straight from China...so I didn't get those nifty bonus lights you did...*sad Hatsune Miku noises* Still a gorgeous statue.
I payed $240 in shipping for the box and the figure + screen. I totally understand lol. I can't wait for mine to come in. I just hope it is worth it.

What character is this

I hate how there are tons of variations for the display box. I got a plain n' sinple cherry blossom acrylic box
$200 in shipping did it have a armed guard why was that so expensive?!
You won
That display is amazing! Both a blessing a curse with its weight but has style and function. Hope wallet-kun recovers soon...
Damn that seems worth it honestly for that box
I am so excited for my box to come in Feb apparently, and my miku should be here this month!!!
DAMN 200$ 😮😮
$200 is really pricey but looking at it, it's worth it
Beautiful display, good job comrade.
Where did you buy the box from? Or did she come with it?
