I think I shared on here the trick to cancel at amiami w/o penalty.
I just cancelled several things this month and last month.
Large BBTS order coming for me later this month
Masterpiece Optimus Prime MP-10 reissue (finally after much waffling)
Mezco One:12 Collective Modern Cap
Mezco One:12 Collective Shazam
Mezco One:12 Collective Armored Batman SDCC 2016 Exclusive
Diving in pretty hard with Mezco. Hope it impresses me so I can keep going with this line.

ZOMBINE PLS
Grats Zulith! That's quite the haul. Can't wait for your MP10 impressions, because he's pure bliss.

oh, I got one of those, once. They're full of shit. They may cancel all your orders, but it's unlikely they'll actually ban you.
They're definitely the assholes of the figure industry.

HLJ sometimes has cheaper prices than amiami too. And you can cancel without any consequences, directly from your order page.
I still use amiami a lot, but if they were ever to ban me I think I'd survive just fine.
I've cancelled two items over the span of about 4 years. So far no complaints from them about it. Order often and cancel rarely is the secret.

I only have Dark Knight Returns Batman and Judge Dredd from the One:12 line, but both figures are insanely awesome.
I'm jealous, just waiting over here for my POs like - when are you gonna charge.

I mainly use HLJ and Hobbysearch. Hobbysearch also allows you to cancel directly if you do so within a few days of placing the order.
I found that shipping costs are considerably cheaper from using HS or HLJ instead of Ami, because of how much packing material AmiAmi tends to use. Dat shipping weight.

You guys know any places to get accessories for figures? I'm talking everyday items like phones, cameras, glasses, and whatnot. Looking for 1/6 and 1/12 scale preferably.

All I know is that AmiAmi treats me right and I love 'em for it. I only order what I 100% want without question like MP Primal/Cheetor and select harder-to-get Figuarts. HLJ is also awesome for allowing FedEx and cancellations. Both give you what you want. Gimmie all the things. All of them.

Got the new alien warrior by hot toys. Looks awesome, but terrible articulation
May flip it and grab something else ugh.
I was some review on it and the guy kept pointing out how the instructions tell you not to articulate or pose the damn thing haha

There are tons of background packs for 1/12 figures in Japan. I would assume that HLJ carries some. If not, take a trip to Akihabara

for bandai japan it's December release.
i believe for Bluefin Distribution for the U.S., it's march 2017, as tokyo okatku mode also listed march 2017.

On the wait list for Scarlet Witch (New Avengers Version) and got an email from Sideshow for $30 off the regular AoU version due to the long wait...this pretty much means my wait list won't be converted right?
Sideshow can randomly find some of them quite a while later. I've seen waitlists convert six months after the item initially started shipping. Rare but possible.
Thanks guys. I'll probably keep the wait list order and see if it converts. Even then, AoU Scarlet Witch can be had cheaper from private sellers after the $30 discount from Sideshow.

Avian Warriors and 1.5 are expected to ship late Summer and 1.75 is expected Fall/Winter. They were delayed a bit due to some minor production issues, but that should be squared away now. Here's the update with the current schedule.

Seller cancelled my hot toys Batman. Sucks.

Is he holding his crotch? Looks like he just got kicked in the junk.
Possibly, apparently the figure has good articulation. Considering all the wires and broken pieces hanging off I thought he'd have super limited ranges.

Releasing any day now in HK!
Yes! Been waiting for it for a long time.
I got mine yesterday. Pretty good figure overall. Very light since she's all plastic. Not the best poseability, but should be enough to get some decent poses.
Quick shot I took last night:

That's pretty cool. I've always wanted a Megazord. Might have to get this one, assuming it can be assembled.

Picked up the Batman Animated Series R'as al Ghul last night after work. Great looking figure of my fave Batman villain, though I wish the cape wasn't so stiff so I could do some more dynamic poses. Never meant to collect these, but ever since getting a couple this past xmas, I now have 9 (not buying any of the new adventures figures).

nice but where's dat Dragonzord

Really glad I passed on this - it looked fantastic but I was worried about the suit & articulation. A lot of recent pictures show it standing still so I assumed the worst. At least you get a new figure!
Confirmed at Power Morphicon hours ago!
If those all combine I'll pick them up! I've been looking for a replacement Megazord ever since I sold mine from my childhood T_T (wish I didn't).

Glad I didn't buy the Legacy version now.
