Possibly Wordpress's (temporary?) removal of incremental Tumblr imports (it's now one-per-person) wasn't just to deal with overwhelming demand. There are a whole lot of duplicate posts in my Wordpress archive (I had 3,750 Tumblr posts at time of last import, yet I have over 6k Wordpress posts), and while I don't know for sure, "failed to properly skip already-imported posts while performing an 'incremental' import" seems the obvious answer for why.

Worst part is that, when using the "previous post" and "next post" buttons, it mostly skips the duplicates. I didn't even notice they were there until I tried to return to a post and hit the (non-cleaned formatting) duplicate instead. I'll have to work from the per-month archives instead of directly going from post to post.

(Still, better too many copies than not enough.)

In a pinch you could probably self-host a wordpress somewhere, and install the import plugin on it.

And I actually was able to get an export out of tumblr's official export feature even though it took a while. Seems to be a zip file with the post text in html and in a xml file of some find, with images in the posts in a separate folder full of jpgs, pngs and gifs.
