I just started buying figures, I never really cared for them but now I started to like them. I don't have much yet just two so far, Yukiko and Mikasa.
Its already too late to save you.
ONE OF US
=P
Holy crap, even these fuckers are getting pricey. Doesn't johnsmith collect these DQ monsters?

Well it is large at least:
Size: Appx. 280 x 220 x 220mm
Have fun johnsmith ;P
Oh my god, what's wrong with us? When Mr. "I spent 42k on Love Is War DX" is the voice of reason...

Welcome to FigureGAF! Now, RUN, YOU FOOL! You don't want to become one of us, who can justify $100+ purchases in a multitude of insane ways...

It's too late. You're already debt.

My best advice is to not look at sites such like AmiAmi or Mandarake. And definitely don't have your credit card on stand-by while looking from there.

Good advice, also you DEFINITELY shouldn't set up figinstock notifications for pre-owned figures you're looking for. Definitely not.

...

do it.
 
Ah two awesome figures. Will have to pick up Alleyne down the road if I can.

Do it. I may be biased, but elf+leaf bikini+bulbous breasts and ass is almost perfect. If she had dark skin like Arshes Nei, I think I might lose my mind.
#fuckit #YOLO. I don't get why any of figureGAF would care about the lewdness of any figs. If the fig makes you happy, get it. If people are so judgmental that they can't accept your hobby, they aren't your friend.
 
Yeah it's funny because I find a lot of the prize figures represent her more accurately so I get attracted to them but it's hard to gauge the level of quality or lack of. I liked 3.33 by the way! Loved it in fact. My favourite of the 3 movies. Hate me!

I mostly feel conflicted about good looking prize figures. I've avoided 99% of them so far, like you said, due to concerns about quality. And the desire to reserve the space I've got for the best stuff. I couldn't resist this Yui from K-ON though, and I'm happy enough with it. Although for 1.5K it's not like I would have flipped a table if I hated it.

Oh, and don't worry about liking 3.33. As long as nobody takes the series and EoE away from me, we're good :p
 
Saw this on raptors blagh, and it has a Max Factory tag... NEED IT.

I just wanted to quote this again and thank Freezasaurus for single handedly costing me I don't even know how much money yet. I will be preordering this first thing tomorrow when it is posted.

Damn enablers.....
thanks for the heads up...

I got my Yukiko from amiami, I'm never ordering from there again, took way to long but it was only 25 buckscall together. Is Play-Asia fine? I got Mikasa there and they sent it in two days even though I had standard shipping. I have a state anime coming up that im going to look around.

Amiami is the best site that all of us use. Slow shipping times is normal when you're ordering from Japan.

AmiAmi's great. If you order SAL, it'll take up 3-4 weeks, but that's what you pay for. EMS is pricier, but can take less than a week.

I've generally heard mixed things about Play-Asia. They're pretty overpriced in general.

It really hurts my brain to comprehend someone not liking Tharja or Alleyne.
Forget being open minded, those figs are perfect.

I find both of them kind of boring. I'd much rather have that Sasami-san figure on the last page because of her bubbly expression or Cordelia
because she's best waifu in FE:A anyways
.
 
i must be the only one here who doesn't find tharja appealing
Nah it's more of an accumulation of factors why most of Figure GAF is looking forward to it; A rarity i.e Fire Emblem merchandise and Nintendo figure as well as having an sculptor that's shown to make great sculpts.

I see.

I don't know; I just didn't like the character at all and the statue isn't very exciting to me I guess.
 
The real Bombless is gagged and locked in the basement until this ridiculous month passes and all current orders are paid for. Then he's off on a 2 weeks vacation.

It's for his own good.

Eh I don't know man, opinions and everything. Tharja is my most anticipated figure this year but I couldn't care less about Alleyne. Different folks, different strokes.

Well I'm not the biggest fan either. But I can see the appeal, both from a pose and quality point of view. Most of us here love FE: awakening and the character(I hated her but she ended up growing on me)

edit: Titanfall box came and its wider than anything have but not the tallest
 
I usually got AmiAmi packages within a week when I was in California which was plenty fast for me lol.

Yea, I've pretty much stopped using EMS (I'm in Cali as well.)

I really don't notice the time delta between EMS and SAL.

EDIT: Just got a package that I got a shipping notice on the 10th for. So, 9 days. A little more than a week, I guess.

Interesting. I could usually order something on a Friday and get it to me by Wednesday or Thursday (which was terrible for me since I had classes and couldn't be home for delivery lol).

eh? cali is 2 weeks atleast for me. I do ems because I order monthly.
 
Speaking of the shipping wars, just did EMS for my Odin Sphere Velvet as it was only $7 more than SAL registered...

Next up; Olivia... My credit card am cry...

My last AmiAmi package took about 10 days (shipping notice on the 3rd, arrival on the 13th) with SAL registered to NorCal.

I know the one time I used EMS (only cause the cost of shipping for it was like 4 bucks more than SAL) it took less than a week.

I'm patient enough to wait the extra time for SAL.
 
I'm really hoping I can find some good figures this year at my states anime convention. They are pricey there but I want to get the whole persona group, which were decently priced.
 
Ryuko Nendoroid up at AmiAmi:

Uguu! Must pre-order. That pouting face. <3

And pre-ordered.

Also, Natsu Dragneel. I'm sure he'd compliment Lucy well, but I think I'll hold off on pre-ordering him for now.

As for Eren from Kotobukiya, it's an easy pass for me, especially at that price. I've already decided to pass on all of the scaled figures from Attack on Titan, even more so if they're priced as high as this [which they will be].
 
hehehehahahhaahahahfahhHhahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Alter just decided to confirm that Zelos is coming out on the 27th even though they've said late 2014....

I've learned my lesson, no more browsing the preowned page on AmiAmi. My bonuses at work and tax return can easily cover it, but still, goddamn I lost control this month. Zelos didn't help either.

At least I only have a Nendoroid lined up for next month.
