I think most people go through something like that when they first start collecting. It's easy to just buy everything that looks neat until you can figure out exactly what does and doesn't fit in your collection.

Oh I know first hand how easy it is to fall in major debt with a CC. I still have a CC from my college years where I have accumulated 12k in debt on. I'm still paying that off.
Where did you put an order in for Panther?
Also AmiAmi only charges when the order ships correct?

Good lord. I think the furthest I've ever gotten in was about $2500. After that I was like nopenopenope.

Iron Legion came in today. Pretty good figure, though it feels a little cheap because it's so lightweight and due to the soft plastic underwear it has. Other than that, pretty good.
I can see that. I like the pose too.
Amazing the finally got ScarJo headsculpt down.
It only took 4 tries!
Man, that was me about two years ago but it was adding up. I had to quit. Most of my preorders are with BBTS now. No NRDs and easy to cancel.

Sold my PAK Sam Gideon on eBay for £95 then the buyer turns around and says he bought the wrong one and if he can return it.
It doesn't really look like her...

From Nippon-Yassan. They will charge at order as it's a Web exclusive figure. I was considering Nin-Nin Games because they charge 2-3 months prior to release, but they're slower at updating stock and dispatch.
Amiami charge near release, yeah. Not sure if they'll have BP though. Someone else who uses Amiami more can confirm.
I agree. Promo pics are the worst place to judge tho.

What's your return policy? I'm pretty explicit in pointing out I don't accept returns or exchanges in my auctions.
It looks much better than previous headsculpts and usually they'll make some improvements before its released.
Special Edition Mark 4 coming out again, don't know if its Diecast. Chrome/Gold Plated Mark 21 Midas being released.
New Poe figure in Stormtrooper garb also coming.

I'll take that Midas. I missed it the last time around. I hope it's not too hard to get.
Edit: Using Google Translate, the top says something about them Disneyland exclusive. My friend says Shanghai Disneyland. I hope they're available elsewhere too.

Unless that Mark IV is somehow die cast it doesn't matter to me.

That's eBay buyers for you. He could easily return it fucked up or have said you shipped the wrong thing and got refunds.
That's a bummer. Some dude tried to tell me the box was messed up once but I told him that's USPS' fault and he should file a claim with them. He also tried to tell me the figure was damaged but they were weathered marks (figure was sealed and new). Eventually, he simply gave me positive FB and didn't reply again.
I feel some buyers who pay a lot for something really want a discount even if it means trying to lie their way to get a partial refund. Thankfully, that only happened once to me and I'm glad I dealt with it quickly and honestly.

Wow that sucks, glad it finally resolved itself in the end!
Thankfully the person I sold it to seems genuinely sorry for the mistake and he already gave me positive feedback so it should hopefully go smoothly.

Kickstarter for Beasts of the Mesozoic: Raptor Series Action Figures has begun! The first scientifically accurate super articulated dinosaur figures ever produced. These things are so gorgeous, I really hope they're successful and we get an accurate quadrupedal Spinosaurus and feathered T-Rex.

Hot Toys Boba Fett came in today. I've been waiting for him for some time now, since I missed him the last time around. The sarlaac base is surprisingly heavy. I'm guessing it's polystone, or at least partially polystone. No pics of him posed yet because I gotta reorganize my shelves for him.
Almost time to obtained some new figures, the first of which is Marth Nendoroid that has no delay from the looks of it, so he be shipping out next month. It be my first expouse to a super posable nendo, with added elbow and knee joints. I not sure about that with a 3 inch figure, but he still looks great, and I just couldn't pass up.
Now to wait if Sherlock Hound figma comes out next month too or gets delayed. I really looking forward to him.

I got my non-Deluxe Hot Toys Boba in the mail yesterday. Sweet figure, really nice detailing and the windswept cape is neat. Rocket pack was a bit of a pain to get hooked up.
I broke a holster strap on my Briareos trying to pose him with his giant sniper rifle. Then I watched a video on the figure and the guy was like 'posing Briareos with his sniper is a total PITA'. So I just posed him with his pistol instead.
Man, that Leia looks great. Self control. Self control.

Sherlock Hound looks so awesome. I haven't ordered him yet but I've been tempted since the reveal. Wish it was a big set with Watson too.
KoruptData

Thank you sir.
Meh it already close to $100 that would go up even more if another figma put in heh. Would be kind of nice to see Watson come in later on however, through it a shame that car pretty much only fits one figma.
