Wonderful pictures RocBase. The gloss look came out way better than Akira's
And another upvote for Yamoto 2199 here as well.

Okay, I have to ask. Where do I watch it?
Hey, FigureGAF. I made a profile on MFC with all the figures I'm looking to sell (no prices decided yet). I'd like feedback from this community on what I'm sellin& and what some reasonable prices are for them (or if anything sticks out as something I should ask for more than $20 for)

So I mentioned a couple times that I got mom a Yukata Miku nendo in London. She loved it SO much. She keeps talking about how she wants more nendos of Miku, preferably in japanese clothes, because this one is lonely and she needs company.
I've been thinking for a while now about what present I should give her for Christmas. I didn't want to make it a figure because she's got enough of those already (and she buys her own anyway) but after seeing how she reacted to Yukata Miku....I decided to go for this.
I'm giddy with anticipation. She's going to freak out so much. Initially I wanted one for myself (that is just too cute) but the aftermarket price is fairly high and I didn't want to spend that much on it when I have so many other figures POd already (well, that and I dread the nendo curse of MOAAAAAAR). As a present though, the price is nothing.
Got it off MFC, for 82 total with shipping and Paypal fees. There were cheaper (but not by much) options but outside the EU, which meant higher shipping + 99% chance of having the Customs jump on me for more money.
Expect a picture of the unwrapping after Christmas day!

I picked up Yamato 2199 on Blu Ray as it came out, which is conveniently English-subtitled already.

I just got her as well. Very cute figure. Next on the list, Niimi!
Before he gets too excited, you should mention that to own all 7 volumes would cost over $500 minus shipping
JP BD prices. Never not crazy.
Ah, but the "where has all of my money gone?" thread isn't the place to go to be thrifty.Before he gets too excited, you should mention that to own all 7 volumes would cost over $500 minus shipping
JP BD prices. Never not crazy.
Still, at 26 episodes, at least it's not OVA series crazy.
depends on the size of the base and accessories. Maybe 5-6?

You make a good point. We're enabling the JP figure market, why not the anime BD market too?
If you use risers for the ones at the back and don't over-stuff it so things look cramped I would say 5-6 per shelf. Of course it'll depend on the specific figures and their footprint to some extent.

Got Belldandy yesterday and I can finally breathe out because there are no breakages! Here's a pic:
bah i am combining mine with an order of project mirai 2 for the 3DS... probably won't get my mail until next week when that comes out.

Believe they aren't related and anime Blu-rays are pretty much the only thing most of their studios use just to break even, especially if they have no merchandising etc.
Kind of the reason why NA anime Blu-ray avoids dual audio (to avoid reverse importing or something) and places like Europe have both audios.

But...But...THOSE LEGS!
Nope, no relation. Nice character designs on both series, though.
She's 270mm tall though. That's 1/6. Do it.
You're very welcome.
They can cancel it, although I've never had a "tentative" pre-order cancelled. I think it's just a warning in-case they can't fulfill it, but I've never had an issue.
Junko now sold out. Again.

The New 52 Supergirl costume sure is....odd.
yeah, new 52 costumes are mostly shit.
compared to some of the other new costumes it's not that terrible. Power girl's redesign was absolutely atrocious, and Zatanna's is just so boring. The only thing that confuses me about Super Girl's is the weird high boots with the knee cutouts. Otherwise I dig the cut of the cape and the rest of her outfit.

I really should unbox mine, along with the other 4-5 Miku Nendos...

Why? It looks like she has a nice flap right up front for easy access. XD

Well not avoid dual audio, just either you'll get a long delay between its Japanese release and NA release, or you'll have unremovable subs, or you'll pay just about the same price as you would have if you imported them.
There's only been a few cases where a blu-ray release in NA didn't have dual audio.
John! You can't be seriously doubting this purchase :O
If I wasn't so broke right now, I'd get it too. ;_;

There is such a thing as too much Aegis.
Haha, for some reason, all of my Miku Nendoroids are also still boxed. ><
Part of me is very tempted about your Viewtiful Joe, Zelda and Big O figures. Might not have too much to spend by the end of the year, but I'll keep this in mind.

Those compromises seem equally bad =/
Blu-ruy compromises due to region locking is dumb... I mean I remember when Wreck it Ralph came out in UK cinemas the Blu-ray released in NA like a week later or before =/
Stop tempting as John!
Hmm, can't decide whether I want to get this.
Aigis is one of my favorite characters from an aesthetic standpoint, but I'm not really into that nendo at all.
Guys I need a bit of help.
I bought a figure on Ebay recently (Kotobukiya Nymph) ans he shipped it via EMS but it has taken abnormally long and hasnt gotten here yet. According to the tracking number it got shipped but the last scan was in Tokyo about 11 days ago. Should I be concerned? how do I check up on this from the US if I have a tracking number? am I just screwed?

It's probably just slow due to busyness, or slow update. You can try the USPS website with the EMS tracking number and see if it gives you more details - I've had experiences in the past where the JP Post website was very slow in showing updates after the package has arrived on US soil, while USPS showed them. So I tend to rely on USPS for tracking updates once the shipment has left Japan.
Speaking of slow shipping, my Samus figma finally arrived. I'm not a fan of figmas at all, but it's not as if there are a lot of quality scale figure choices to pick from. I skipped on the GSC Zero Suit version (because I don't really want Zero Suit Samus), and the one I really want, the First 4 Show Varia Suit Samus, is long out of availability unless I want to pay like $500+ for one second hand. So while I've never found figmas to be fantastic in terms of quality (which remains unchanged), I made an exception and bought this one:

What part of the US do you live in? I'm in NY and EMS has only ever taken four days or so at the most for me. Reason being that with EMS, they fly it into JFK instead of LAX. Eleven days if definitely quite a while for EMS. But I suppose that this time of year there's heavier package flow for obvious reasons.
Also, my Jaina Solo bishoujo finally came today. Yay!
Cobra approves!
Also the band is getting bigger...Need Rin, Len and Meiko and a couple more instruments. Also maybe a stage...hmm...

Ha ha, I could have told you that, dude. Those things are heavy as fuck.
It sounds like maybe it hasn't actually been sent out yet. I would email EMS service and provide your number and ask them if it's really in transit yet. I have had it happen where the tracking number and everything was set up but the actual package wasn't delivered to the postal service yet, in which case it would be the seller's responsibility. (Not say that is what is happening here, but it's a possibility.)
