Rakuten Global Market Closure Announcement



Today Rakuten has announced closure for the global market. It such a shame that I usually brought my Frame Arms, Gunpla, books, etc there. While the Rakuten market continues to operate in Japan and the rest of the countries (below), I don't think I am going to use any delivery forwarder services to get stuff there. I use to direct purchase using a discount point and get shipped using EMS to my country which is much better in saving. For those of you living in Asia, you can still purchase until end of May 2020.
