Just got to experience every Figure-Gaffers worst nightmare... Just had a 5+ earthquake here in Southern California. Got stand in a doorway and watch as my figure shelf swayed dangerously in the shaking.

Luckily, no damage and only single figure fell over.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to finish this Imperial stout and my crack another...

Oh shit you felt that too? That was the first earthquake I've ever experienced and wasn't even sure it was a quake. My tv all of a sudden started shaking a bit while I was watching the tourney.

Edit: Must have been an aftershock. What I felt wasn't strong at all.
 
Think some people here might be interested in a tank.

Here we go. The March Month of Death is officially OVER.

That means starting next week it's OPEN SEASON AGAIN.

*ahem*

Well, I'm glad that went by without too much damage.

Will need to update my budget forcast for the remainder of the year once I get back but only Kamael jumped months so the impact should be minimal.
As long as I control the impulse orders.

There's like 3 months beyond September without orders though, so it looks good so far!
 
Well that was fast. Payed for my order last night and they shipped it just now. Usually seems to be a day or so between that. Hopefully I will have this huge box next week then.
 
AmiAmi order arrived in the country on Friday but I guess the postal services decided to have a long weekend instead of delivering my shit.

Monday is now Dual Tharja Day.

I just took a quick pic with my Vita.



I don't have time to crack it open right now. This was the second part of my March order, lol.

All of FigureGAF's March order boxes would probably reach the moon or something if stacked on top of one another :p.

Just picked up mine from the post office. It's a good size, but not really picture worthy. Shitty iPhone pics of the contents later though.

Hehe, I've recieved like 2 of those. I've kept them for when I move.

Yeah, I figured that some folks in here might have these boxes. I can definitely put it to use. This March is easily my biggest order since I started collecting last year.

Only 3 orders for that big box? How big is Olivia?
 
The good thing about monthly orders is the boxes are large enough to hold several extra figure boxes (without the extra packaging fluff) for easier storage. I have 5 boxes so far with 90% of my boxes in mom's garage.

One to keep in box?

Didn't we learn that's a great way to end up with a figure covered in sticky residue?

Mikatan had a great article about this a couple years ago.li including explaining the cause (plasticizer escaping).

Oh, yes. Yes we did. ;)

All kidding aside, is that the reason? People just want to keep a sealed one or is there some twin Tharja fantasy going around? Now that I mention it...that doesn't sound like such a bad idea...
 
Giolon said:
Why are so many people buying multiple Tharjas?
Click to expand...

Probably for flipping purposes due to the high demand there is for it. However they produced a lot of her so I don't see too many people having trouble acquiring her. She's available online from most retailers and even my LCS had 6 on their shelf available yesterday. I've never seen a 1/7 scale figure have that much stock in my LCS before.

One for a friend.

But the idea of Tharja bookends was brought up earlier in the thread, and that's a great concept.
