Wow, I just got an email from Mandarake telling me my order has been cancelled because the Riobot is sold out. I'm like 99% sure that I was the first one to order it though :/

They have retail shops too. Orders are only filled online if they catch it (the item) in time. In this case, someone bought it from the brick-and-mortar shop before it could be set aside to fill your order.
 
It means somebody walked into the store and bought it before they were able to prepare your order. So no.

Wait what? Someone had their package swiped by a delivery guy? I'll put a camera at my window looking out at the front door with a sign if need be. :lol

How does this even happen if the package is registered? Can't their ass be easily busted by the Post office if you make a claim?
 
Welp, my Kill la Kill collection will now feature 4 figures. Ryuuko, Satsuki and (THIS IS A HUGE KILL LA KILL SPOILER DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EP 20)
their opposite versions
.
 
It's definitely purple in game. Like Junko, whose hair color can vary from pink to blonde, her hair color changes slightly depending on whether its concept art, in-game sprites, or event scenes. (...)

You're right, it pretty much varies from picture to picture. I had her in-game sprites in mind but sometimes her hair color is really pretty purple. Thanks for the clarification! :)

Yeah sounds crazy, but I remember reading a story about someone getting their package(s) stolen by the delivery man or a postal worker. Pretty sure it was in this thread, but can't remember for sure or who that happened to.

Somebody buy this!

That's crazy. Well if its anything, left a note on window and my camcorder looking out just to be safe.

In other news AmiAmi was kind enough to cancel my "B" item Nami. They're so awesome.

Nice! Again, I wouldn't make a habit of it. That's how I ended up with two limited Maeda Keiji's... hopefully I'll just be able to sell one of them down the line.
 
Just out of morbid curiosity, who here dusts their figures if they're openly displayed and more importantly how often? I personally dust the figures I have at my workplace only about every two weeks or so....

I dust them every few weeks or months depending on how much dust I see.
 
That's a lot of LEGO. O.O

In other news, I paid for Villetta this morning. It came to 17.2k with EMS shipping, as opposed to the. 17.6k I was quoted earlier. Was there a difference because I paid by CC instead of PayPal? Ah well, either way the painful part is over. Can't wait to get her.
 
throwing away more boxes. So hard, so many extra parts which forces me to keep them.

Oh God, I don't know how you do it. This is something I have nightmares about. Right now they're just piling up in a spare closet that's getting smaller and smaller on an almost weekly basis. I don't know what I'll do when I run out of space.

well today was

1) mai shiranui (skytube)
2) queen blade alleyne
3) queens blade don't remember name
4) alter swimsuit jubei
5) koto kurisu

might throw away
1) alter selvarias (Swimsuit)
 
What will you do if you eventually have to sell?

not selling most of those figures.

mai shiranui, kurisu and selvarias are a definite no. Sonico is a prize figure and is worth like 20 bucks. Not worth selling

Queen's blade are the only one I "might" sell. but whatever. I got one for 35 and Alleyne is easily my favorite character in that series design wise.

Im probably going to throw away all the strike witches box minus the one with extra parts that aren't propellers and just put all the propellers in one box.
 
Scan of Megahouse's painted Sorceress is up at Plastikitty. Looks awesome.

face looks really good. Her pose is pretty unnatural though... not sure how I feel about it. Won't be buying anyway. In spite of my avatar I'm not much for huge ridiculous tits.
 
Even though I already have a shitload of Miku figures, not gonna lie. I want this one.

Yes, well... re-poster neglected to mention that it's a GK, which I mentioned in the original post.

WHAT!? WHAAAAT!? I wasn't aware this was even an option. It's like, inconceivable.

But it does sound like an excellent way to get the gf to stop complaining about the box buildup. >.>

I have over 100 boxes. I have to do something about it =/. beside its not realistic for me to just sell everything especially things I really like.

The figures I probably won't sell ever is
1) alter yukiko
2) kurisu
3) BRS
4) ultimate madoka
5) Native figures
6) Bakemonogatari figures
7) Hyakka figures
8) some of the strike witches but might as well have the whole set if I'm going to keep some.
9) fighting game characters (mai shiranui, Tekken, etc etc)

Right now, I have a little corner in my downstairs that has a bunch of those big AmiAmi boxes (and assorted smaller boxes) filled with empty figure boxes. It's not bad, yet. But I don't want it to get to the point where it is.

So you're tossing boxes for figures you might sell? What about if you move? You won't have room for all of your waifus in your car.

She's that good huh? Can't wait to get mine.


I have a huge crawl space for storage. Glad I'll never have to worry about this, plus a 4 bedroom house to myself and I only use 2 rooms.

Every week. Maybe it's because I'm new to this but I have a schedule where I clean the cabinets on Fridays and clean my figures on Saturdays.
