Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet
- Thread starter George Oscar Bluth II
- Start date
Considering you order these things months in advance and many many many circumstances may arise, I don't understand your point.
Emergencies are one thing of course, but after I pre-order something, I proceed from there as if that money was already spent and budget accordingly to avoid being blindsided by a bunch of payment requests I'm not prepared for. It's pretty much a necessity when I have multiple pending orders.

Lighting. He is not perfect but the color of his fur aint the problem.

That's getting pre ordered. No way im going without this
Does anybody have any good recommendations for proxy shipping services that can ship to the US?
I'm trying to buy some statue/figure from a company (HMO Collectibles, makes mainly video game related statues) based in Hong Kong I think, but they apparently don't sell nor ship to the US for some of their products due to licensing issues. If any of the proxy shipping services are located in (i.e. export from) the following countries (some of the countries that HMO does sell/ship to) then that works:
Australia
China
Germany
Hong Kong
Indonesia
Malaysia
Norway
Sweden
Switzerland
South Korea
Singapore
Taiwan
United Kingdom
I probably would have used proxy shipping service, Tenso, in Japan since I've had a good experience with them before, but unfortunately, that's not one of the countries HMO is selling/shipping to.

Not interested. If they move into Dark Souls though, holy crap, I'd buy all of them.

i did but you forgot, you asked the same question a while back. didn't want to repeat myself.You never answered my question, David
here's something that might interest you.
METAL BUILD
Mazinger Z
Release date: scheduled for February 2018
Price: 21,600 yen (including tax 8%)
※ Reseller will reserve a reservation from September 29, 2017
(Availability of reservation handling depends on dealer)
I did? Shoot, most be going senile ;-;
And that Mazinger looks ace. Actually considering not buying Mazinkaiser and going for this instead. Hope it's not as much of a struggle as Gundam MBs.

As much as I love my Darth Maul figure, it was barebones with accessories and the joints articulate too easily and the lightsaber blades get out of alignment too easily for a $250 figure. ( I got it for $200). I love everything about the Obi-Wan Mythos figure except the $260 price tag. Thats just too much from a company that doesnt have the track record for having quality control issues.
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
oh shit thats cool would kill for a noise tank figure and on a side note i found out they made a arthur figure from GnG as well and ended up just spending $200 on both armor versions
If someone wants that Tracer statue, BBTS is probably the only place that is taking them at the moment.
I've had HT Rey (Resistance Outfit) boxed for nearly 10 months and finally put her up in the display cabinet. I like her simple and clean design. I also took the time to put lights on all shelves of my Detolf. Feels good.
Are you trying to pick up Morrigan?
Borderlinx.com works IIRC. There are also some online distributors that receive stock from HMO and also sell directly to US customers (i.e. most recently with the Megaman statue), but I can't recall their names off the top of my head. I'll go look for them.
I have the IKEA DIODER light strips that seems to be discontinued now.
I originally had it behind my TV for ambient lighting but found that I didn't use it much for that purpose.
Yes.
After I found out that they won't be selling/shipping that statue to US, I figured I had to prepare and find out some way to get it (and possibly multiple ways, in case one way doesn't work).
Thanks for the help.
Man, prepare to pay a hefty price for the shipping.

Black Knight scale figure when? Man, these Gecco Dark Souls figures are silly expensive but they're amazing.

Black Knight is just about as dull as Dark Souls gets, but I might grab one once a player character turns up (Elite Knight has to be next, right?). Especially if it comes with extra weapons.
Why aren't they shipping the Morrigan statue to the US? Seems weird.
I'm sure it will be absurd.
HMO says they have the Vampire/Darkstalkers license with Capcom Japan (rather than Capcom USA) which restricts them from distributing to certain countries including (but not limited to) US, Canada, and weirdly, Japan.

OMG IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING.
It's odd that they keep showing off this vapour ware.
Could be anything in those boxes. Follow the money Korupt.

Sounds like it's about time for me to cash in my SS rewards points. Was hoping to have enough to get it free, but I'm fine with paying $200 for it.
Haloid is probably just going to cancel it because that is the kind of quitter he is.
