Ninhonju review
Link: http://nihonju.com/
What's selling?: They offer a range of products directly from Japan: Figures, plastic models, scale models, books, goodies...
Nihonju is a beloved shop x2 that I like a lot. Faster, paypal an prices in yen, with € or US$ converter(you always pay in yens)...cheap and safe shipment...I've never had a problem with them (well...once I chose one strange shipping method which was available for Rise preorder and they emailed me that Rise only accepted SAL or EMS...but they correct it quickly).
Oposite J-list(who dont have 1000 of one concrete figure, but at least you know how many things are in stock) Nihonju always has low stock of items. If you see any rare...preorder it quickly because maybe at the 10 minutes it will be gone. The counter of items left is not very well shown. Well...I never look at it...I just click fast xDD
They're not a big platform (yet xD) but the great advantage is that they can bring some rareties that HLJ or J-list usually dont. Always at low stock and if its very rare and expensive...they ask you to do an early pay. (ex - the latest Nao (Stacatto version) nendoroid)
+Cheap shipping (if you're going by SAL, to Europe it takes 1 month more or less...usually at 7€)
+Fast reply
+POINTS! FOR SURE! You can use points to pay figures ^^
+They had rareties at great price like Sumomo, Churuyas, Romantica petits etc
-Low stock...and they usually dont restock.
-Not sales section (yet xD)
+Fast reply

I had a low historial with them.
Number ?? Nao Stacatto ver.
Also got Nu Villetta from them (chocolate happiineeees Thx Nihonju!!!), Preorders of exclusive Nao nendoroid and Rise K. from P4. That's it. But I hope to come again for some rareties ^^
About their answer: They always reply the emails. And they replied me so fast.
About shipping: Fast, cheap, everything fine ^^
Example: Nu Villetta:
Shipped 28/4/2009 Arrived 11/5/2009
For last, Jlist accept for payment Credit Cards and paypal.
My rating over 5...
4 out 5, due to the out of stock matter(I want one Cammy by Shunya Yamashitaaa)

Jlist Review
Link: http://www.jlist.com/index.html
What's selling?: Japanese T-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, Japan-themed hats, dating-sim games, region free DVD players, bento boxes, chopsticks, Shinto good luck charms, pvc anime figures, Japan-related books, manga, art books, Japanese study books (check here who is the man/woman in charge of each http://www.jlist.com/PAGE/aboutjlist.html)
J-list is a beloved shop that I like a lot. Faster, prices in US$ and not in yens...cheap and safe shipment...I've never had a problem with them (well...once I got my address mispelled, but they correct it quickly). Maybe they dont have 1000 of one concrete figure, but at least you know how many things are in stock. Also, their shop is divided on J box and J list (mature things and the rest of Jbox). They have an ebay account too.
Their mascot is so lovely, and the blog is very complete.
They have a section with discounts.
Cons and pros
+) they're always on USD
+)the shipment is cheaper
+)Communication is good
+)They ship random gashapon and the whole set too.
-)Nothing xD
I had quite an historial with them one nendo (hehe).
Number 45b Tsukasa normal vr.
2 Red haired Shanas, Nanoha figma+xmas hats, 2 Japan nendo dioramas, Yoko movie vr revoltech...
About their answer: They always reply the emails. I mailed them several times, and they replied me so fast. There's one inside-web ticket system for help ^^
About shipping: Fast, cheap, everything fine ^^
Example: Yoko revoltech:
Shipped 5 May 2009
Arrived 21 May 2009
For last, Jlist accept for payment Google checkout, Western union, Credit Cards and paypal.

Singer Yuna experience:
http://figure.tsuki-board.net/figure/1736_mizuka
Mizuka figure, who arrived today May 28th and was shipped on 19th of May (with SAL).
AUCTION: My first bid was 1500 yens, the minimum bid. I won xD (1500yens=11€)
But the happiness finish here.
Commission: 600 yen
Domestic Shipping: 580 yen
Bank Fee: 300 yen
International shipping(Small Packet AirMail 900g) 1,680 yen
Total amount: 4,660 yens(=34€), total amount in European shop, https://www.up1.co.uk/Details/S1596 on United publications within shipping it will cost around the 34€ too. Not the 11€ I started bidding.
So...the best choice is that if you want TWO OR MORE FIGURES of that yahoo.jp seller, go for it, because of that, the bank fee and the local shipping will be 1 and not 2 or more.
Singer Yuna historial with Goody-Japan: Aria 1/6 figures (both form the same seller, so I won xD) Aika and Alicia Florence + Miku Hatsune Race Queen preorder + Mizuka.. Tenso soon too ^^ (Hope to be useful. I need help if you know more middlemen)

E2046 review
Link: http://www.e2046.com
What's selling?: Resin kits, Pvc, own E2046 figures, etc.
Kits de resina, figuras de PVC, figuras propias finalizadas en resina.
E2046 has become one great referee on online shops, its due to their own work on kits(a very discussed matter) and due to promotions for the asidual clients, like the VIPs...
VIP status is adquired when you spend 500USD in products, and VIP means 7% on all, and acumulative with other timed discounts.
Also, if you comment about Oris or gatherings (read more about these terms below) you earn 5% of discount.
AND (the list never ends xD)each month there is a lottery, the lucky draw, on the people who
1)are participating on comments from figures
2)participate and opine in their forum
3)show photos of their figures
can win things on the shop (gatherings, kits, etc)
E2046 has important sections:
Preordering section, with a discount percentage.
Gathering, the section of their own produced kits.
Ori, the section of their personal projects, the projects that next will be on kit or gathering section.
E2046 resins and PVC section; E2046 resins and PVC are more priced than Hobbysearch or Hobbylink, but it sometimes compensates
1) they're always on USD
2)the shipment is cheaper
3)VIP discount or any other of their great promotions.
I only had bought on there (in a sale, with the subtitle of ONE LAST LEFT!) (I felt so...YAY MINE! RAAARW) one nendo (hehe).
Number 37 Pastel Ink Moetan.
About their answer: They always reply the emails. I only mailed them once, and they replied me so fast. There's one inside-web comment system for help ^^
About shipping: Special mention to the handling...when first I receive my package, all green and only paper and no box...I thought "Uff...Im safe because GSC made good blisters"...but I started to open it...and...voilá! standard bubble plastic and...A NICE PLASTIC BOX like a tapper!! WAO! Im still saving the tapper (for eating lol) for saving in there my gashapon collection.
In the case of Spain, there is normal international package and EMS, with some great prices and contrarresting price if you're ordering 2 or more things.
I've heard that in their own kits and figures the protection is great too.
Maybe you should hear that some kit pieces are broken etc...no problem! E2046 has in your shopping historial on their web, and inside the order, tell trough the questionarie the problem, and they will replace it witout any costs.
Well..the best is having it all pieces perfect, but It can't be xD.
For last, E2046 accept for payment Credit Cards and paypal.
