I'm looking for a reliable site where I can obtain the blue tachikoma nendoroid figure.

Here is a link to the Yellow Tachikoma from RightStuf but unfortunately they don't have a listing for the blue one.

I've always wanted a tachikoma figure, but the only one I have is the tiny figure that came with 2nd Gig LE Vol.6.

Blue should be arriving any day now at HLJ. It'll be cheaper than the TRSI price, even after shipping (if you don't mind the wait). They're very reliable, I use them regularly and pretty much exclusively for all my imports.

Thanks

Which do I choose for shipping though?

SAL Surface Air Lift a.k.a. ISAL
Moves on a space-available basis; no tracking number.

EMS International Express Mail
Moves on a priority basis; has a tracking number.

And how much does it cost? I read their terms and don't wanna click "place order" without being completely sure how much I'm paying.

Wow I just saw this Tachikoma Figure and I may be changing my mind on what I want. SD tachikomas look cool, but dunno if they can bear the original.

I've read that those Nendoroid figures are good quality figures but is that other Tachi good quality as well? It's my first time buying a figure online so I want to make sure I don't have a bad experience.

I always have my stuff shipped SAL, it's the cheaper of the two, and I'm willing to wait the two weeks it'll take to get here at that price. In this case you're looking at about $6 for shipping SAL or $13 for EMS (the pink box with the price and information has a shipping estimate in it). This is why I say they're very fair with shipping, I doubt I could get a domestic store to ship an item like that for $6.

I can't speak for the quality of the Wave Tachikoma from experience, but I do know that Wave is a very popular company that is well known for their quality and detail, doubt you'll be disappointed if you got that one.
