Shit....

I really don't know if I'll be able to resist at least trying to get Vergil. I have the old Kotobukiya model, but I'm contemplating selling it. Even more so I can replace it with this!

On the plus side, if thieves ever break into your house, they'll take your electronics and overlook the way more valuable (and expensive) Hot Toys collection you have.
 
Those are just my Hot Toys. I still have quite a few Transformers that are in boxes. I collect Fans project figures mostly now. All will came out when I finish my basement, this is what my stack looks like now.

that room is bigger than my entire apartment. i wouldn't know how to fit all that in my place.
i have some MP's but no 3P's except megatron. damn... i'm super jealous.

you prob did in the past but i hope when you get set up , you post pics of your display. it'll be like a museum =)

you need to get some Macross =)
 
YES, I have one you don't. :p

I'll think about it. It's going for a lot on eBay atm
I just checked online and it is going for silly money! I opened mine and put him in a cabinet last night...all that before seeing how much he is going for. I wonder if they are likely to actually sell at those prices.

They don't, the Mark 3 Gunmetal on eBay is being sold for 2,500 USD which is absurd. I was going to sell it last fall and had an offer of 1750 but decided not to sell it in the end.

Secret project I've seen go for 500 - 750.
 
What a shame. That thing is F-ing gorgeous.
yeah, it was insane. i got an order in @ hlj bc one of members that's an amazing "spotter" noticed it went live early before 1600 JST (hlj always tries to either put extreme hot items up late/or misspell the titles to throw off bots, this time they put it up early. lol)
i got cart jacked @ Cdjapan, Nippon Yasan while checking out bc i was too slow... HS and amiami was gone in an instant. Anime Export sold out this morning after i went to bed.
i have a contact in JYP that's ordering me a back up in case hlj doesn't come through.

Dang I missed it.

But MB Red Frame Astray is back for preorder At BBTS.
congrats! RedFrame is hard to find at retail w/o a markup at the moment so that's a good price.

i hope bandai makes more exia's available but they just love playing these short supply games.

Tell me about it. Just like SoC God Mars.
 
I decided to add some Resident Evil figures to my growing collection. I'm absolutely terrified by the prices some of these things command on EBay; especially the Palisades line. I lucked out and scored a few "cheaper" figures. They just started showing up this week.

Really cool looking figures. They're much older Neca figures, so they lack a lot of articulation. Sort of like the old McFarlane Movie Maniacs. They have a couple of points, but they're pretty useless. For example, the Licker has an elbow joint, but the sculpt limits to greatly. It makes them more like statues, I guess. It doesn't matter much, though. The poses they're in are pretty cool and the sculpts are pretty amazing. Overall, I'm very happy with them. Can't wait for some of the others to show up.

Hope you've got the Crimson Head/Cerberus combo pack - it's one of my faves.

Pulled the trigger, preordered Wonder Woman Hot Toy. I have no desire for Supes though.

I was thinking about getting one DC figure based on the DCEU. Was going to get batman not long ago but decided against it. WW looks great, but I'm hoping they release a Suicide Squad Harley. I'll buy that in a heartbeat.

Oh they will. Probably show it off at SDCC.

My current Figuarts collection (visible with some of the other items on my Star Wars shelf).


I really love the line. I'm not quite ready to make the jump to sideshow, and besides these provide fantastic quality given the size and price.

Episode 1 Obi-Wan is easily my favorite, though I love the others as well. Darth Maul will probably be my next purchase, but I'm kind of dragging my feet since I prefer to buy figures at launch from AmiAmi.

Great collection, I also collect and prefer the SW Figuarts for the same reasons as you, I don't collect SW PT figures but I've heard that Figuarts Darth Maul is amazing.
 
The Metal Build line is quite stunning.

I think I will splurge (for me at least) and get one of them. Now I just need to decide which one...

see if you like Metal Build Red Frame's design:
here's a detailed video review of Red Frame, it's in Chinese so i can't understand it, but it's in HD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZLOq425C3g

this is the only place that has him avail @ retail price left (non mark-up) he was just released in JYP last week.
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN16683&mode=retail

there's a few suits that are not popular still avail at retail but the majority of them are really hard to grab post release. bc they are limited print and high demand.

here's an example of their insane prices after release:
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/serchKeyWord?target=00&keyword=メタルビルド
(the ones that are cheap are unpopular)

the Destiny Metal Build (red wings of light in that photo you quoted) is really sought after, his reprint is coming out in Oct/Nov 2016. really hard to find... Pre-orders are closed now but if you see him, under 290 grab him.
