Ugh. Two figures I want go up tonight. One looks not so hot and has a near $100 price tag and the other is Hobby Japan exclusive. Sigh... Not sure how I feel about ordering through proxy. Has anyone here done it before? Do Hobby Japan exclusives ever go on order on BiJ or N-Y?

exclusives go on NY and BiJ.
I ordered most of the deadly sins that way and native figures before the international store opened.
what you getting?
Glad I'm done with that. I'm pretty much done with everything on my wishlist that I"m willing to pay the going prices for.
Caved and preordered Muramasa from...HobbyLinkJapan lol. They gave me a 10% off coupon from my last snafu with them so I said why the hell not. I was a little on the fence because of the price but I didn't want to risk her selling out either. The best of both worlds I suppose.

Hm. GSC Mikasa didn't sell out at all, did she? Maybe they're starting to hit the line in terms of what people are and aren't willing to pay.

you say that but people still went batshit crazy for other figures. 200+ already PO for shimakaze and shes around the same price. Also people are split among DX and normal.
and there goes... a lot of money today for me (monthly order).
Who knew that miku2020 and strength would cost a ton to ship rofl

Eh, not really feeling this after all. Nice try though, might get it if it bargain bins one day.
Sakura up at both AmiAmi and GSC;

Hmm, should I pre-order her from GSC for that bonus key charm, in addition to Mikasa DX Ver. for only 2000 yen EMS cost? It's going to be difficult to spend 2000 yen to ship a single Nendoroid, and there's nothing else on the shop that interests me. :/
I'll give this one some thought.

Thanks. Kinda embarrassed to admit which figure I want though
. Still not sure if I'm getting it or not.Neither did GSC's Shimikaze. You might be right, even though I'm not sure how fast GSC's figure usually sell out. Haven't been around that long.

Oh my god, dat face. I know in the series she looks a bit different than most anime characters, but that...... is not a great sculpt.
Well I pre-ordered the Sakura Nendoroid on AmiAmi. I already have something for that month so I can combine shipping, and I'm still not sold on Mikasa [not sure I ever will be]. I just know they're going to release Eren/Levi DX Ver. to compliment her, and I really don't want to get started with that. Not only that, the GSC bonus didn't seem worth the additional $30 [if you include the price difference and cost of single EMS shipping] for her. If I had other things to combine sure, but I didn't. :/
She's up on HS now, if anyone is wondering.

In for two Sakuras. It's still so surreal that she's finally getting made. I've been after her merch for years.
It's been a long time coming, for sure.

6.5k nadeko (GSC)
Kinda want it to help complete the set but I just paid a massive amount today. Maybe next month or something.

She's a great one, for sure.
I own many Super Sonico [and thus, being in various state of "un-dress"], but I'm really excited for Gift's upcoming version.
I mean, Sonico in her traditional tiger parka? Yes please! News of it's release have been slow, however, but we recently got a new bunch of pictures in the last couple of days, so hopefully that means pre-order will start soon...
BTW, on the subject of Sonico, I really enjoyed the Super Sonico anime. It wasn't as "fanservice"-filled as I thought it would be [it was actually quite tame], and a lot of the episodes had a lot of heart and nice music. I'm really hoping it gets a season two.
shit its tempting..
How are quality of preowned ones from amiami? never bought preowned figure before.
90% of the time, they are perfect every time.

B is basically mint. There are cases where B is dusty and/or (VERY) minor issues, but for the most part mint.
Don't worry about boxes. C box is just a further discount in my eyes. You'll never see an A box.
Funny enough. All my damaged figures were from As. Because they were unopened they couldn't check for any issues LOL.
good. I heard lots of good things about this Elin figure.
you think its worth it to pay extra 2000yen and go for A grade?
Ragingnight
Member
LOL not for me. I would never get an A over a B on amiami. B so far have all been in mint condition for me
Btw you better hurry fast if you do want it. It sells out fast.
edit
What I aim for is a B/C. B figure C box. I don't give 2 shits about the box and Most of the time the damage is just aging issues.
Same, I don't want anything else from GSC and can pass on the charm. Aoba's coming out in September too so it'll be a two Nendo month for me :3

The only problem is they won't come out before 2017 at this rate

if you guys are a fan of steins gate you should try to get the BLK book on mandarake.
http://myfigurecollection.net/item/81195
Got mine without the figma for like 3k. Great book and has both steins gate and BRS.

Its a major improvement over

Well, no arguments there.

Preordered Sakura on the Good Smile shop, to get the bonus Key charm.
A wee bit more expensive (not counting the almost sure customs I'll get upon delivery...) than the other ones, but I want to get the bonus :x And like I already said, it's going to be a rare if not unique buy of the sort so I don't mind paying extra for once.
Everything for my Sakura <3

that MF castle girl figure
Kunihiro Hajime is up for PO on BiJ and N-Y if anyone is interested. Might be a bit too bit uhh.. well everything for some people.
In other news, Hobby Japan announced.. two more additions to the 7Sins line. I thought it would be over after seven, our poor wallets. I'm not too keen on Belial, but I like Astaroth.
Edit: Did anyone confirm whether or not we can post scans? I didn't want to risk anything by posting the 7Sins scans.
I preordered immediately.

Is she going to be up on amiami later?
She's an exclusive, so you'll have to go through a proxy. She's up on BiJ and N-Y currently.
I posted one of them earlier and we decided it wasn't a good idea
Dat Belial Life, her sin must be MMO Addiction, with those WoW shoulders and all. I was going to post the castle image...definitely looking good. More images at the source : https://twitter.com/minokichi_ss

no scans allowed. Its considered piracy in the way that people wouldn't need to buy the magazine and just read the scans.
Also That figure is pretty lewdddddd. I wonder if its like that MF figure of the girl in an apron. Just a big censor bar underneath of its sculpted like native figs.
