When will they ever figure out that differently sized boxes do exist? Especially small ones? It's like all stores in Japan that ship internationally don't realize that you can use more than three (or so) sized boxes.

This is the package I just received from HobbyLink Japan. What you see on top of the box is literally all that was in there.

Granted, I didn't even know Bandai was sending out these faces for everything that ordered the figure. Which is awesome, since every single picture of him on the box uses the face, yet the figure was missing it entirely... And HLF shipped it - EMS, no less - for seemingly free. But if it weren't for free I wouldn't have even bothered. That's why I'm so glad Figuarts are starting to show up on Amazong a whole lot more often, because it's what's enticing me to order them. Shipping from from overseas is pretty expensive. And when the box you get is more often than not filled with just air, paper, or bubblewrap - I'm firmly convinced you're getting ripped off in some way.

Granted, most of this comes from observation of others rather than experience - though I have indeed experienced it. So yeah. This is my complaint of the day.
