Levi is still in stock. Aladdin is out of stock. Hopefully a box damaged appears in two weeksso I can add it to my January order....

Got payment requests for Junko and Christmas Melty, and ordered Wolf Children from BiJ. That 22% discount (still 9,985 though lol).
Daisy looks nice. I ended up not pulling the trigger on her, but it bodes well for Koto's quality going forward. Tharja delay was too expected for me to be surprised. I don't know why they didn't announce it alongside Momo.

Chrono, can you link me to a pre-order link or an mfc page or something for that Parka Sonico? I'm having a real bitch of a time finding it while on my phone. Fuck mobile sites always and forever.
Dat ass will make you wait.

I've slowed down my figure buying lately and hadn't even seen that Tharja until now. I REALLY want now

Wow, when was the last time you were so impatient to get your hands on something? I thought you were Mr. SAL-unregistered all day every day.
Already? Didn't get one from AmiAmi yet.
December is the exception. I can wait 2 weeks, but not over 30 days.Wow, when was the last time you were so impatient to get your hands on something? I thought you were Mr. SAL-unregistered all day every day.

Wow, is SAL that bad this time of year? Would the slow boat then take six months or something?
Unregistered is pure anxiety attacks.
Sorry for the delay.
Here it is!

Indeed. The wait will be more than worth it.

Ah, she's pretty cute. I take it this is another one that's currently residing in oblivion with no sign of a release date or pre-order info?
Also, I know I bring it up from time to time (but not often enough)... Even though this is a dude, I would totally buy this figure:
...because Max Factory.
Yeah, it seems that way. Pre-orders were supposed to open up a while back for a 2013 release, but that obviously won't be happening now. :/
I hope it's soon, since I've always wanted a standard Super Sonico figure in her traditional Tiger Parka.
Also, nothing wrong with liking that figure. Look at those leg--
Wait, that's supposed to be a male!?

You wouldn't even know except by some parts of the face. Aside from being a well-made figure, I like it because it would freak people the fuck out.

Wow, good price. Too bad SAO is a pile of shit. We have Log Horizon now. SAO is irrelevant. XD
I wonder how big it is...

1/100 scale. Whatever that means
Soul Eater's Maka Albarn up at BIJ. FOR 6,930 yen!

I'm loving that price. I'll wait to see what she is when AmiAmi offers her, though.

Smart price from Medicom. BiJ is rolling with a 23% discount though. Nobody else will beat that.
July.
July.

Ok, I'm officially giving in and getting that Tharja. February actually works well for me if that's when she'll come out.

You just caved now? Jeez, she was announced forever ago... That's some fucking resolve.

Budget was uncertain until recently. Had to pull back from figure purchases for awhile. Even with this I'll need to maintain plenty of resolve.
Cool, I'll wait for AmiAmi though.

BiJ mentions on the page that SAL is unavailable. If she's EMS-only, that's going to tack a good bit onto the price, which is why she's listed so cheap.
amishpriest99
Member
Yeah, the delay's the only way I can get her.
EMS is amazing. I payed for my items from AmiAmi on Wednesday and got them today. I wonder is it because of the holiday season.
I normally do EMS anyway, so I don't mind. I don't want to order different items from different stores all in the same month. It would seem to be more expensive that way, or I might be wrong. I haven't been buying figs as long as the rest of you.

Ha ha. Were you an EMS virgin? Example of EMS: I live in New York. If I use SAL, my package lands at LAX or something and travels by ground from there. If I pay for EMS, they'll fly it directly Into JFK, and then the rest of the way by ground.
I don't know what else is coming out in July besides (maybe) Amazon, who I may or may not buy. I have little faith in MegaHouse unfortunately. But I gotta have dat Maka.
I used EMS about 3 times now, but it usually takes 3-5 days. I've never had it take 2 days though, holy crap.
True. I doubt anything else I want will come out in July, but you never know. There's like 7 figures I want that have no date so I'm super cautious.

bleh i might actually complete a whole collection. Order one of the last strike witches. Only eyepatch one left is unordered (probably will stay that way). I'm getting the 1.5 version of the main character.
Hype
And Maka is going to be on at amiami sale starting 12/24 for ¥7,340

You got her already?

Kagami should be up for preorder soon. I love Aomine's pose, I know when Akashi is jnveiled he will look devilishly awesome.
I will get some Haikyuu figures. Isn't Banpresto like the Japanese equivalent of Mattel? Bottom of the barrel quality.
Nope, those are MFC pictures, I believe.
Unless he was the one that uploaded those, haha.
BTW, I'm definitely pre-ordering Moka, although I think I'll wait for AmiAmi.
She's cheaper at BIJ, but I can combine her with other items via AmiAmi [that are releasing in the same month], and can save a bit on shipping that way [as well as avoid having two separate items be shipped].
She looks great, though.

Hehe, I paid for my items on Wednesday as well and I received them yesterday. Didn't pick them up till today. The box size was insane, over 4 feet long and 2 feet deep in the other 2 directions, and I had 2 boxes. Explains the 160 dollars in shipping....
Megahouse Labrys review. I don't really mind passing on this. There's little doubt that the Alter version will be better. This isn't terrible, but it's also not good enough for the crazy price.

I wonder why she's so expensive in the first place. She's like $160. Alter's Labrys looks slightly plain though, but at least she'll be hopefully cheap.
