The Fate/The Facts book

There is no currently no confirmed release date or price, however Ross from Ghostlight is expected to make an announcement soon.

But this is exactly the same as the NA version, you know. Minus that poster thing.
Pre-ordering but I wish they gave us figma :(

Got to love Ghostlight.

[ro4eva]

Looks nice, but meh, it's a PSP game. That's not to say PSP outright sucks. I've enjoyed quite a few exclusives on mine.

I know I wanted the figma too :\, and I like the Saber Lily figma too lol

[Neilikki]

Yeah, the price of the Japanese collector's edition with figma unfortunately skyrocketed to about 20,000 at the moment. So this time I made sure to pre-order the sequel, Fate/Extra CCC so I pay the retail price. And the figma that comes with CCC is georgous too!

The only discouraging fact is that there is still no firm release date, aside from "spring 2012" and well, spring is almost there.

Imo I like Saber lily, extra, then the wedding. For some reason the wedding figma just didn't look all that pretty for. I use to have the saber lily figma but end up selling it due to low cash :\, not sure of the price now though

[Neilikki]

Well, I like the design itself of Saber Lily and some of the statues of her are absolutely stunning. But when it comes to Fate figmas, I generally don't find them very appealing.
The Saber Bride is the first one I really want! I find her absolutely adorable ^^

And about the Lily figma. You mean the whole boxset of the PS2 game right? Last time I checked, the prices varies from about 6000 yen for the used copy to 8000-15000 for a new one. Plus shipping and other costs (like proxy service cost). You basically need to be lucky and wait for a bargain price. And btw, those are prices from Japanese sites like Yahoo auctions etc. Due to the large number of bootlegs this figma has, I wouldn't risk getting it off of ebay...

I agree, I sold off my Saber Lily figma to get the Saber Lily Distant Avalon figure[it's so gorgeous]. Though I'm pretty sure the figma would raise just because the Fate/Stay series has a huge fan base and Japan tend to make things more limited then compare to the US

does Ghostlight charge fully upon preorder? Depending on price, can someone help preorder and ship to AU?

Yes they charge you full at checkout and you order it yourself as they ship to all PAL territories like I did for Agarest: GoW Zero CE last year. :thumb:

ahh they can ship to Australia? nice nice ermm what are the delivery charges and how is the packaging?

[Matrix6]

I can't remember exactly how the packaging was but I don't recall a bad experience and the game arrived in good condition though I didn't keep mine sealed.
This is the way they charge you for your order:

Item Sku Qty Subtotal
Agarest: Generations of War Zero - Collector's Edition + T-shirt AGOWZ_CE_TSHIRT_PSP 1 £ 33.33
Subtotal £ 33.33
Shipping & Handling £ 2.92
Tax £ 7.24
Grand Total £ 43.49

It felt like Aussies were being treated/charged like the residents of Europe where you get tax included! :S

[RyT]

well that's quite alright for £2.92 and arrive in good condition.. as long as it is not packed in a jiffy bag.. :S

[Matrix6]

It'll arrive in a box with protective stuffing inside, but they charge you Shipping&Handling plus Tax!
So that's £2.92 + £7.24 = £10.16
Not sure if Fate will cost exactly that but it's an indication.
And £2.92 for P&H would be really cheap for a direct company distribution compared to any US companies!

[RyT]

eppp oh alright.. guess no choice haha.. with tax :S

[Matrix6]

Around $15 all up...not too bad :)

[gurpswoo1]

When Ghostlight were releasing Persona 3 CE I mentioned to them that the packaging for prior releases were quite poor, they used jiffy bags and arrived damaged.

Ross at Ghostlight ( Great guy by the way) fixed that and sent Persona 3 CE out in boxes, I can ask f they will do something similar again this time.

[sleepwalker]

I don't know about you guys, but here is a little something that I got on pre-order for a couple of months now. Release is due in May.

RRP: 13,000 Yen and is already "sold out" for a while now.

Yeah I preorder this but I cancel because I don't think I could afford the shipping :(

[sleepwalker]

Shipping for this should be same as for any other figurine, which is around 2500 Yen for EMS.

I paid 5000 yen for EMS shipping for an item that could of fit in a SAL box because the site wanted to put in a ridiciously huge box[and the stuffing protection took about 60% of the box anyway] It was so ridiciously and because of that I'm hella broke since I didn't expect shipping to take that much[figure was expensive enough as it is]. It was a 1/8 scale figure so I didn't understand why the put in such a huge box

Eeeh? I don't get it. The retail price of the game is 39.99, that's the price everyone are paying. They don't charge you £40 plus additional £7 of tax, so what's the problem? Or am I missing something here? :huh:

[gurpswoo1]

We will have to wait for the prices to be confirmed, Taxes shouldn't be charged but it depends on if you are inside the European Union.

That's how I was charged when i ordered something from them last year, I have no idea how it works :shrug: Could it be because I'm outside Europe?? :v:

[Neilikki]

The thing is, the game costs £39.99, not £33.33, whether you are inside or outside EU. So you didn't actually pay more than EU residents. At least not £7+ more.

Look,that's the checkout when you choose UK address:

And that is when you choose Australia:

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/3286/ausx.png

So the difference in tax is less than £0.5

[Matrix6]

All I was pointing out was that I've never come across an additional "Tax" whenever I order anything in Europe before, and so far Ghostlight are the only one who have charged me that. Over all it wasn't too bad for me as I took it as if the shipping cost is around £10, which is much cheaper than what they charge in the US for an LE game of any sort. I can't really complain, but most of the online stores I order from Europe [mainly UK] offer free shipping which I'm used to now. :)

[Neilikki]

They didn't charge you additional tax. They just showed you how much of the catalogue price is the game itself and how much is VAT.
A lot of shops do this, for example amazon.uk does that too.
Everytime you buy something in EU you pay VAT (it's already included in the final price) it's just that usually shops don't list it down seperately during checkout.
D:

[Matrix6]

Good to know, thanks for clearing that up :thumb: , but either way I was happy with the result...which is the most important to me ^_^

[Neilikki]

Yeah, you are right :)

Anyway. I can't wait to know when this is getting released. The price will probably be like their othe psp limited editions, but I'm not sure what to expect when it comes to release date.
Hopefully it's May, because my buying schedule is pretty busy in April. Unless Fate/CCC isn't getting released in April, then I would be happy with getting this ASAP.

I'm currently waiting for my Cloud and Fenrir to arrive this week. Bought it from TeeMug (fullfilled by Amazon) for £69.99 when there were 2 left, now there should be 1.

Just checked and they now have 5 left and £59.99 but shipping is £26.51 UK delivery LOL!
