The AGF items have arrived! 

After sorting and labeling everything, the only non-guaranteed items I didn’t get were:

Syo Ghost Strap Camus Ghost Strap Otoya Badge (x1) Ai badge (x1) Camus badge (x1)

(the badges had two slots per boy, so x1 means I’m short 1 of that boy)

The extras are:

Otoya CD (x2) Masato CD (x2) Natsuki CD Ren CD Ranmaru CD Ai CD Camus CD Natsuki Acrylic Strap Ai Acrylic Strap Natsuki Ghost Strap Tokiya Ghost Strap Ren Ghost Strap (x3) Cecil Ghost Strap (x2) Reiji Ghost Strap (x4) Masato, Tokiya, Ren, Syo, and Reiji Badges (1 each) Ranmaru & Camus A5 Standing Postcards (1 each)

I’m going to contact those I didn’t get the item of first, so they can choose between the extras or a refund. After that, these extras will either be sold individually or make their way into character lots

Box Split Update:

The AGF items will be arriving at my address soon (within the next couple of days according to the tracking) and the SGK boxes arrived at the forwarding warehouse, so they’ll be shipped out to my address soon as well.

I’ve just about finished tracking down the individual Kotobukiya Maji Love Kingdom (Volume 1) items from second hand sellers and I’m waiting for the last few orders to process and arrive at the proxy warehouse. The only two items I couldn’t find were the Tokiya rubber strap and the Ren badge, so the two people who ordered those will be able to choose either a refund or one of the extra straps or badges.

The online storefront is now closed.

Remaining stock will begin to be moved to ebay starting this weekend.

[utapri-idol-hell]

Store Update:

The online storefront will be closed today at 11:59pm EST. It will not re-open in the future.

All orders on hold will not be affected; they will still be shipped either when the outstanding pre-order items arrive, and/or on May 25th.

Thank you for your understanding.

Box Split Update

The Cool & Pop Animals badge set has now come in, which means that I now have all of the split items apart from the AGF and Kotobukiya ones.

I’ve sorted most of the boxes by now, so I’m just working on contacting everyone who was not also part of the AGF or Kotobukiya splits

Store Situation Update:

The giveaway winners from the fanzine applications post will be announced later today. 

My storefront will remain open until they've chosen their prizes. These will be the last few days to order anything individually from my store and after it goes offline, all stock will gradually be moved to ebay in lots. 

Some items will be sold separately (due to rarity/item type), but I will not split items already listed in bundles for separate sale.

(a.k.a.  i can't sell you just /that one/ item from the bundle. It would be the whole bundle). 

 So, if there's anything specific from my store that you had your eye on, this would be your last chance to buy /just/ that item before it's put into a bundle.

The Starish Solo Album Badges arrived yesterday, so the only box still in transit is the Cool & Pop Animal set. After that, the AGF & Kotobukiya sets ship out in April

I’m so sorry to hear what’s happened to you. I was planning on ordering a plushie myself but it sucks that people out there don’t appreciate the effort you’ve put into these items to make wonderful merch for the community. I was curious though, are you permanently closing your storenvy? I don’t use eBay as I don’t trust the site and I would still like to support your business in any way.

Hello!

I’m sorry that it took me so long to answer this - thank you for reaching out.

My storenvy will be put in ‘maintenance mode’ (i.e. offline/not available to purchase from) at the end of this month. The store itself will still exist, because I have quite a lot of orders on hold from box splits and international buyers that I need to complete. 

However, as soon as it goes offline, I’ll begin moving my listed stock to ebay in lots. If you don’t like ebay, I don’t mind selling off-site via paypal invoices or briefly opening my storenvy for someone to pay by card, but my main goal will be to liquidate as much as I can before May, which is when I fly back to the UK.

As soon as all of my orders are complete and fulfilled, the store will be fully shut down, which will happen sometime between May and June. My account will still exist; there just won’t be a store tied to it anymore.

I may still do box splits on twitter from my personal account and/or keep selling extras in ebay lots (I am, first and foremost, a merch collector - I started my store as a way to sell off the extras from the bundles I bought), but I wouldn’t be running a store for it anymore. 

I’m debating keeping my store twitter & tumblr open just in case. At the very least, it would be useful to boost any lots I do put up (if any) past June.

Thank you for your support and kind words! Best Wishes, U.I.H.

Hello! How does one buy your stuff from eBay? I would like to buy something from your store but I don’t really understand the rules (with the bids and stuff. Or lots. Anything for that matter lol). I’d love if you could help me!! (Is it possible to buy an individual item?)

Hello!

So all of my current ebay listings are Buy-It-Now listings, which means that the listing/lot is available until someone decides to buy it. There’s no auction or ‘Best Offer’ option enabled; it’s just the price you see on screen (plus shipping) for everything that’s in the photo.

If you’re not confident with ebay though, I don’t mind selling off-site and doing a paypal invoice instead.

Box Split Update:

The Starish Solo Album Shikishi's came in as well, so now I'm just waiting on the Animal badges and the Solo Album badges. (and the unreleased AGF + Kotobukiya sets).

I’ll prioritize sorting out store orders containing box split items first, before contacting through twitter/tumblr/discord. I’ll hold onto the items for anyone who also signed up for a box that hasn’t come in yet, so that all your items can be sent together.

Kumapri Lots are on Ebay!

https://www.ebay.com/sch/utapri-idol-hell/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

These were prize items from the most recent Shining Store Lottery in 2019.

Usually I have a rule of ~$1 per item when I do lots, however these are different/more expensive per item because all the items were purchased at retail (~$6 per ticket).

[utapri-idol-hell]

Box Split Update: All boxes (with the exception of the AGF and Kotobukiya sets) are currently in transit to my address. Quite a few of them shipped out much later than they were supposed to - e.g. the animal badges were supposed to be released around January 20th and only arrived at the warehouse last week.

I will post updates as the boxes come in.

[utapri-idol-hell]

Given recent circumstances, I've been a little behind on packing orders, so I'd like to apologize to everyone who bought an ebay lot recently - they would have been sent out Thursday or Friday, but will now be sent on Monday instead.

I'd also like to thank everyone who's sent me kind words over the past couple of days - I have read all of your replies and messages (even if I am a little slow responding), and they do truly mean a lot. So thank you again from the bottom of my heart <3

Notice of Plush Doll Termination & of Store Closure

The fan-made plush dolls have been terminated upon request of franchise owner (Broccoli) after they received a report of violation from the members of the public. No non-official merch will be sold from the store-owner from this point forward.

All orders containing those items have been cancelled and refunded.

The twitter account will be made private at 7pm EST and will be kept open until all box split orders and AGF orders have come in and have been shipped to their buyers.

The store will remain open until March 1st. After that, all remaining stock will be put into lots and listed on ebay.

Finally, to the group that saw fit to take pictures of my tweets and post them with captions expressing your desire to see me closed down, as well as your joy over Broccoli's response to the plushies:

I hope this news has sated you. I am now closing down, so please leave me alone.

Four Utapri Character Lots are now up on Ebay!

https://www.ebay.com/sch/utapri-idol-hell/m.html?_trksid=p3692

The Syo and Camus lots also contain a couple unclaimed box split items, and the shipped for each lot is estimated, so any difference will be refunded after the lot is shipped.

If you’re not in the US, please ask for a shipping quote if interested!

[utapri-idol-hell]

Hi! Idk if you would know but, do you know when the chun colle utapri collection will come back??? Specifically the STARISH characters? I’ve been looking for an Otoya birdie for a friend of mine but amiami has stocked up on them and I can’t find them anywhere else.

Hello!

I don’t know about any planned resales of them, no. From my knowledge ami ami only stocks up on things when they’re still available from the manufacturer, and the only ones currently in the Broccoli store are the Heavens ones.

You’re best bet is to find one second hand - there is an Otoya one up on Suruga-ya right now (it’s the Shining Live one), but you’ll need a proxy to order it. I’d recommend Buyee, since it’s very easy to navigate. Suruga-ya also does free domestic shipping (i.e. free shipping to the proxy warehouse) if you’re order is over 1500 yen.

If that one’s already gone by the time you look at it, you can try otamart (you can use FromJapan for that) or Yahoo Auctions.

Best Wishes, U.I.H.

[utapri-idol-hell]

hi! I was going to place an order on your storenvy. will I be charged customs if I’m ordering from the uk?

Hello!

No, you wouldn’t be charged customs - I change the declared value of international packages so that they won’t incur customs charges for the buyer.

That said, there is a shipping option for May 25th, where I’d be shipping from the UK, so if you chose that one it would be domestic.

Best Wishes, U.I.H.
