Just a moment, securing your connection...

In Taiwan, finding these at a physical retail store is almost impossible right now. Most local vendors are either perpetually out of stock or selling them at a massive markup. This supply crunch is exactly why shoppers are looking toward the US market, where stock levels at major retailers tend to be more stable.

Comparing the math: US retail vs Taiwan resale prices

If you look at local Taiwanese marketplaces, a single blind box from the Looking Back series can sometimes go for double or triple its original price. Buying a full set from a reseller often involves a "collector's premium" that simply doesn't make sense for a smart shopper.

By choosing to shop US store options directly, you are paying the actual retail price—usually around $12 to $15 USD. Even when you factor in international shipping rates, the cost per unit drops significantly if you buy a few at once or group your order with friends. You can use a shipping calculator to see exactly how much you'll save by bypassing the local middleman.

The best US shops that actually have stock

There are two main places in the US that have been the most reliable for the Looking Back Series in 2026:

• The Official Sonny Angel USA Store: This is the gold standard. They restock frequently, but they are notorious for being strict about shipping addresses.
• Urban Outfitters: A favorite for many collectors. They often have exclusive stock and occasionally run promotions that apply to toys and collectibles.

While these stores are great, they often present a major hurdle for shoppers living in Taiwan: payment and shipping restrictions.

Solving the international credit card block with BuyForMe

Many US retailers, including big names like Nike, Sephora, and even the official Sonny Angel store, have strict security filters. They often block international credit cards or immediately decline orders if they detect the billing address doesn't match a US bank record. It is incredibly frustrating to see your dream series in stock, only to have your order cancelled seconds after hitting "place order."

This is where the BuyForMe service becomes your best friend. Instead of risking a cancellation, you simply tell comGateway what you want to buy. They will use a US domestic credit card to purchase the items on your behalf. This virtually guarantees that the store accepts the order because it looks like a standard domestic transaction. If you are serious about getting the Looking Back series without the headache of trial-and-error with your Taiwan-issued card, using this proxy shopping method is the safest route.

Getting your angels to Taiwan safely

Once your Sonny Angels arrive at your tax-free US address, you can manage how they get to you. Since these are small, lightweight items, they are perfect for package consolidation. If you bought other items from different US stores, you can wait for everything to arrive and ship them together to save on international shipping fees.

Using a dedicated freight forwarder ensures that your collectibles are handled with care and tracked every step of the way until they reach your doorstep in Taiwan.

Navigating Taiwan import rules and EZ WAY

For a smooth Taiwan delivery, keep a few things in mind regarding local customs:

When you buy from US ship to Taiwan, your package will be held at customs until you click "confirm" in the EZ WAY app. Make sure the name on your comGateway account matches your EZ WAY registration exactly to avoid delays. If you stay under the 2,000 TWD threshold and haven't exceeded your 6-shipment limit, you won't have to pay any additional import duties on your Sonny Angel haul.
