Okay, bros. It's time to talk about something serious. Budgeting. I'm kinda bad at it. So how do you guys do it? I'm guilty of a good bit of impulse buying, and I'd really rather not be. It's not just AmiAmi pre-owned (that's just most of it). I have other hobbies, too. So how do you guys do your monthly budgets?




From now on, we should all only order the figures that johnsmith orders. XD

I'm trying to budget $400 a month, which I have been doing just fine with, except for last month. This excludes shipping but includes games and movies as well.

I think I am going to have to set a limit of around 150 shipped before to long. Although May and August have already destroyed that idea. I can't help myself when it is K-On related
 
It doesn't always work out, but I try to limit myself to one scale figure and one poseable (usually a nendo) per month at max. That way by the time I order I make sure it's absolutely what I want.

Yeah, I am pretty much trying to stick to no more then 12 pre-orders a year and a flex limit on older already released figures that are on my wishlist. I am trying to keep my total limit to no more than 20 figures a year which should drop as I finish fulfilling my wish list. My final max display area is going to be 1 billy and 2 detolfs.
 
You can tell the GaruPan OVA is getting closer to release, the figures machine is revving up. After the 1/12 Panzer IV announcement comes the rerelease of Miho and preorder of Yukari nendos. RIP cajunator.

Note that Miho's tank is sold separately, she only comes with the turret.

I ALMOST bit, but with the figmas on the way, there really isn't any reason for me to get them.

I ordered Miho today. I wish she came with the tank, I might just paint the turret and use that. I am almost finished with the series, is there a OVA coming out?

I become very selective in what franchises I'm willing to throw money at. And I guess lucky or unlucky, they aren't getting a barrage of merchandise being released for it.

Tempted by that Yukari. Might wait it out for a bit though and see what else is scheduled for August.
 
Hot Toys Captain America 2-pack is up for preorder on SS. $339. Less expensive than some of their other 2-packs.
 
Whoa I got my Green Canti today and it's fucking brand new, sealed and everything. Box is brand spanking new. Haven't opened it yet but looking at it through the window, it looks beautiful.
 
What confounds me is they're devoting resources to this instead of bishoujo Black Canary and Jubilee. Fuck this Earth.

LOL oh cripes, I completely even forgot they had Black Canary and Jubilee in their lineup. I think they said we won't see either until like 2015? Fuck this silly ass earth indeed.
 
Also, Koto released a teaser for bishoujo Freddy. Ugh.

Well, it doesn't look bad but how many Bishoujos does that? I still dislike Freddy, she is just some blonde with the typical attributes of Freddy, minus somethign very important like the skin, plus bending over. I like Jason very much, even though less skin would definitly improve her, she has muscles and looks really badass. Shunya could've done way better.
 
Took some pics of Canti. Had lots of fun doing so! Such a photogenic guy. Every time I moved one of his limbs he had a natural pose ready. My favorite figure by far.
Sorry for the mass pic dump!
EDIT: Made them a bit smaller.
