Trying to get out of the figure lifestyle for a while. I have too many still boxed due to lack of space and I want to get my finances in order.

You wouldn't believe the figs I'm passing on; the list would probably get me banned from this thread...

We're not an elitist community, we'll josh each other but unlike most communities I think we're the more new member friendly XD, no in jokes and what not.

Although it will be amusing to see someone "banished" from the thread ala:

The PAK Rorschach made me search for older figures since I try to stay away from PAK, I found the 1:6 scale DC Direct and I want it now:

not my pic, stolen from google

they have a Comedian and Dr. Manhattan in this line as well but I don't like them, too plasticky; I like the real cloth for Rorschach here. I'd be happy if they made a good Nite Owl to go with him but this line is dead and I sure in heck ain't going with PAK

I've done my share of enabling in this thread, and there are a couple of figures I'm looking for/forward to, but I need to cut back for a few months anyway.

And for the Allenye haters, <insert reggiewhatiswrongwithyou.gif> here. And to go deep into TMI territory, she pushes a number of buttons...

Starting to get antsy about Olivia and Miku2020. Haven't received a delay notice for Miku, and naught but silence about Olivia.

The official box-shot for Olivia is out. I believe she's scheduled for the 24th of this month.

If she was getting delayed, we wouldn't have this pic:

unf unf unf unf unf

Omg...I don't even know what she is from and I need it.

Okay, yeah...I'll be ordering too

Found out who she is! Her name is Tsurugi Yagami, and she's an erogé-playing homeroom teacher! XD Apparently from a series called Sasami-san@Ganbaranai. Pre-orders open March 20th.

Sweet. I thought she came out today for some reason.

Now, do I kick Velvet into next month with (hopefully) Miku, or just bite the bullet and get AmiAmi to send her now?

Decisions, decisions...

Just buy it all now. Your credit card company doesn't give a shit if you charge it now or later. They go month-by-month, and as long as you at least pay your minimum payments on time, they don't care.

EMS is on that thing is probably going to cost a fortune. That box is epic.

eeehhhhh... I dunno. I have her and two other figures shipping from AmiAmi at the end of the month. I think they'll all fit in the large box. It doesn't matter, I always charge my monthly orders anyway - yolo.

 

[StayDead]

Tharja needs to be paid for, aah ;;

 

[Ken]

Saw this on raptors blagh, and it has a Max Factory tag... NEED IT.

oh, i like the expression on this one. not sure if enough to buy it though lol.

 

[javac]

My God Warrior arrived. I know this isn't the kind of figure you're all into and to be honest even I'm a little taken back by it. It's pretty odd but I guess anything Ghibli is good in my books. Appeared in Nausicaa? &#9745; A scene done by Anno? &#9745; Inspiration for the Eva Units? &#9745; Thats enough for me. It does look kinda cool too

Lol that Pikmin's expression is perfect.

Haha yeah every time I see his face I just crack up. He has no mouth, it's like he's screaming internally lol. He's like "How the heck did I end up with these guys?!"

 

[chrono01]

Theres only two Yoshino figures but at least theyre cute.

With a character design as cute as Yoshino, how could it not be?

I wish there were a decent Kurumi Tokisaki, though.

The only way you want figures like those is sealed. God knows what foreign substances could be on an open one.

You aren't kidding. I'd never look at a "used" lewd figure under a black light. Not that I would be in that situation since I buy them sealed, but if I were...some things are better left not known.

 

[SDBurton]

Just got an email that my Tharja is ready for payment. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

 

[Ken]

Never noticed AmiAmi put art on their "Contact Us" cards.

Also (hopefully) my only figure pick-up of the month.

The rest of my non-figure haul today.

Hatsune Miku - Love is War DX Version for 50,000 yen on Mandarake. Opened with box being a little damaged.

http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-854773.html

Seriously? 50,000 yen for an opened one? If she wasn't such an amazing figure, I'd be tempted to sell mine.

I paid 42k for mine in November. A/B, unopened. Price sure went up.

I paid for mine last week. Hopefully N-Y will ship her tomorrow. EMS should get her here by early next week at the latest. Can't wait!

I dunno, man. I wanted her at one point, but the price being what it is, it just isn't worth it unless she gets a reissue.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I know from exp that EMS is rock solid but has anyone had problems with boxes being damaged on Air small packet. I usually don't care about large statue boxes being damaged during shipping but I like my small scale figures to have nice condition boxes.

 

[chrono01]

Yeah, she definitely did. I remember when she was around 30,000 yen, and that seemed a lot at the time. Insane.

Yeah, I really like her, but I'd find it difficult to pay 50,000 yen for her, even if I had the extra money, especially for an opened one. That's way too much.

It depends on the store you order from.

AmiAmi tend to use much thicker/durable boxes, as do the other Japanese stores [HS/HLJ]. Places like N-Y usually use flimsier/cheaper ones, although I haven't had an issue [although all of my orders with them have been via EMS]. Mandarake also use nice boxes, and have had several items arriving safely via SAL Small Packet.

My bad I should have specified that I'm using Amiami. I only have used EMS thus far but I'm no rush to get the figure, I'm just worried about the box coming damaged




P.S, Does anyone here own the Yamashita Original 2 figure

 

[chrono01]

You have nothing to worry about.

I'm sure AmiAmi will package the item securely, and it'll be a very durable box. They've always been amazing like that.

 

[Ken]

my package from amiami today had kind of a weird cut/indent on the side but everything inside was perfect thanks to the power of stuffing paper.

i don't think i've ever had anything damaged from them.

Same. I once had a hole in one my AmiAmi boxes (only a few inches across) but the actual items were so far inside the box that they didn't sustain any damage.

 

[chrono01]

That's exactly the reason why. Even if the box is damaged, although as I said AmiAmi uses durable boxes, the fact that they use so much packing material inside, your item(s) will, more than likely, be perfectly fine. It adds to the weight/shipping cost, of course, but it's worth it.

I remember seeing a picture on MFC where a package from AmiAmi was destroyed upon delivery. I mean, there was a massive whole punched into the side. However, the items inside were immaculate. You would probably have to physically go out of your way to damage figures in an AmiAmi shipment, they're packaged so well.

 

[hitmon]

Those paying for EMS most of the times for packages? Impatient =P?

Probably save more money in the long run not using EMS, particular places with customs charges T-T, using EMS almost guarantees customs will probably check it for me lol.


Wonder if the same sculptor for Tharja will work on this one:

What? There's going to be another Fire Emblem figure?!

i would never pay EMS for a figure, it's a waste of money. it doesn't really matter if it's sitting here one week earlier. it's just a figure.

I wish I knew better, should've asked for shipping recommendations before paying for EMS.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I wish I knew better, should've asked for shipping recommendations before paying for EMS.

EMS is worth it if it's something you need asap. But if you can wait, you probably should go registered SAL. But sometimes you don't have the option due to package size.

That's why the word "more" is so relevant. I'm done with pre-owned figures for this month, and likely the next, as well. Even if I were to find a sealed Bounty Hunter Ver. of Yoko from Alter for 10,000 yen, I'd pass. That's how serious I am.

I've spent more this month than I should have, but managed to purchase a few figures that have been on my wishlist for a while.

Ha ha, bullshit. You'd snap that up, no question.

Princess Bitch sold (both of them), so that makes things easier. I'm going to go cry now.

Honestly, I don't think I would. I mean, I would probably find a way to cancel a figure for this month to "replace" her with, but I wouldn't be in a situation to purchase her if I didn't.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll have another opportunity to pick up Princess Bitch if you're serious about it. She shows up relatively frequently, and hopefully will in a month that's more...manageable.

so what is she from anyways and any release window?

She's Yagami Tsurugi from "Sasami-san@Ganbaranai"

The release date is scheduled for July, 2014.

 

[Freezasaurus]

so what is she from anyways and any release window?

She's from something called Sasami-san@Ganbaranai. But they had me at "erogé-playing homeroom teacher". And she's coming out in July, I think. List price of 11k (!!!) or something. She'll be under 10k after discounts. But she's from Delay Factory, so keep your September clear.

See, that's the other thing. I like her, I really do. But I'm not sure I've quite decided whether she's a bit too lewd for my collection or not.
