Nevermind, she's EMS only. That's a pass.

Do it, she's amazing!

Shipping will likely be around $40 or so, possibly more. Her box is pretty massive.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Wait, what makes that Shirahoshi different from this one?

Or is she this one?

Same one, different box.

I have one from the first release and the only difference is that my box has a shimmer design around the edges as well as in the text.

Aside from that they're identical.

 

[johnsmith]

Wait, what makes that Shirahoshi different from this one?

They're both the same figure. I think the only difference is a sticker or something indicating which release it is from which region. Hardcore PoP collectors only want the original Japanese releases or something, hence the price difference.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I'd buy her if I wasn't terrified of getting into One Piece.

 

[RMI]

definitely will be pre-ordering that D-Arts Elizabeth when I wake up in the morning. I'm loving the chair.

also the 2013 racing Miku looks amazing, but I don't know how many Mikus I can justify to myself. It's easy to say no at that price too.

There's a good chance she'll be sold out by then.

Dang, really? not sure if I should go to sleep now and set an alarm or just wait it out. The idea of going to work tomorrow on 4 hours of sleep is not appealing.

 

[johnsmith]

Stay up. That's what coffee is for. And if someone asks you why you look so tired, you can tell them "because I was up late buying plastic girls"

 

[RMI]

it's probably the safest. looks like I get to dig in to SMT IV for a bit once I clean up this mess in the kitchen.

LOL.

 

[ochaworldorder]

Need Elizabeth but not sure I can stay up that late...is it likely Amazon USA will get her later?

 

[Jayhawk]

Must stay awake for 72 more minutes! Damn work in the morning. I should have napped earlier.

Against my wallet's reccomendations I've gotten my hands on the Persona 4 anime, so I can see what this Persona craze is all about.

"It's just another anime" I told him. "What could go wrong?"

Nobody loves Persona 4 because of the anime. They love it because of the game, the anime is passable with some funny moments, but the game is where it's at. Especially the vita port

ruh roh.

The anime is ONLY good if you played the game. Otherwise its kind of all over the place. It did a decent job at cramming a 40-60hr game into 24~episodes.

 

[MCD]

Anime is better because fuck silent MC.

 

[Bombless]

It only exists on PS2 and Vita doesn't it? Got none of those consoles

 

[Ragingnight]

Get a vita! and then you can watch anime on it!

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

Get the PS2 disc and run it on your PC.

Runs pretty well on PCSX2 and I have an older PC, Core i5 and some crappy, obsolete AMD card.

 

[Giolon]

Make that three of us. I'm also going to purchasing all seven of them.

Elizabeth is up! http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-001346&page=top

Got mine!

Thanatos is up too: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-IPN-3114

 

[RMI]

fucking site won't load for me. so slow.

 

[Jayhawk]

Amiami servers not being kind to me right now.

 

[RMI]

had it in my cart but went to hell during the checkout process. this kind of sucks.

 

[Jayhawk]

Ugh, going to sleep. I can't even get the product page to load, and I've been trying since the top of the hour.

 

[Cheska]

Is the demand for Elisabeth really that high or are other figures up for preorder at the same time?

 

[Giolon]

There are a couple other S.H. Figuarts that went up from Kamen Rider, but really that's about it. And Thanatos and Mewtwo re-releases.

The power of Elizabeth compels!

This tends to happen with Figuarts/D-Arts.

 

[RMI]

finally, elizabeth and thanatos ordered. November is going to kill me between those two and project mirai II :-/

 

[Jayhawk]

Nippon Yasan also has Elizabeth up for preorder for like 80 yen more. I was willing to pay that extra price to stop having to deal with '503 Service Temporarily Unavailable' when trying through Amiami. I bought a Thanatos as well.

 

[johnsmith]

I was going to buy Thanatos but the site is totally slammed. If it sells out I'll set up a notice on figinstock as I'm sure they'll open up more
preorder slots down the line.

Nippon Yasan also has Thanatos up for sale for a slightly higher price, but without the server issues of Amiami.

Bed time for me. Good luck everybody on your Elizabeth purchase attempts!

 

[meltingparappa]

Gwaugh, site got slammed and I missed out.

I can't even set up figinstock to properly alert me for Thanatos, for some reason. That's how you know things are bad.

 

[Hero]

Sold out? For real?

 

[Busaiku]

Nevermind.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Sold out? For real?

Yeah I know :/ Elizabeth and Thanatos are still up for preorder at Yasan. . glad i already have thanatos personally it's ridiculous how fast amiami was sold out.

BTW Elizabeth is back up for preorder on amiami.com

 

[kewlmyc]

Bought Elizabeth. I already have Thanatos so I'm completing the collection.

$40~ isn't a bad price.

EDIT: Found Megahouse's Yu Narukami for $80 on Amazon. I had some leftover Amazon credit so I got it for free. This slope is very steep.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Silver Centurion and Tony Stark Mechanic Version pre-ordered at HLJ. I'm happy SC is a October 2014 release. woot.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Yeah I know :/ Elizabeth and Thanatos are still up for preorder at Yasan. . glad i already have thanatos personally it's ridiculous how fast amiami was sold out.

Thanatos is also back up now, I have no need =D got it a while back =)

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Attack on Titan Colossal Titan Nendo is up for preorder. Bought.

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-001421&page=top

Do they charge when you order or ship?

 

[DeadRockstar]

Official Miku 2020 shots are up:

Price is 11,800 JPY. Samurai and Hacker were 9,333 for reference. She's not that much more complex so it looks like a Miku tax to some extent. I also wonder if she's SALable with that hair.

Assumedly pre-orders will be any day now and needless to say, I'm buying her.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

They ask for payment when they ship the order, if you chose Paypal at least.

Hhmmmmmm. Is that site pretty competitive on price? I want to go all in on One Piece and Attack on Titan. The Kuroko no Basket figures also look cool and I havent read the manga. Too bad there arent any good Fairy Tail, Soul Eater or Eyeshield 21 figures...

 

[LiK]

D-Arts Elizabeth and Thanatos are both still in stock at AmiAmi.

AmiAmi is one of the better sites for discounts. Sometimes other sites might have a better discount but I rarely seen that happen. AmiAmi gives the best discounts imo.

I regret getting up in the middle of the night only to see their servers get hammered.

If I think about the fact that this wasn't remotely the first time I got up in the middle of the night to nail down a pre-order,then I should re-examine if I've gone to far down this rabbit hole.

 

[RMI]

And now I pay the price for staying up all night to get those preorders in. Glad they're back up for people, but damn I feel like garbage.

 

[kewlmyc]

Is D-Arts Thanatos just a rerelease? It it's a new model, I might have to re-buy it.

Yeah amiami is great. It's where I have the majority of my preorders since they are the cheapest most of the time.

Payment is only due when the order is ready to ship, and that's when you'll find out how much shipping will cost.

How much does shipping to the US usually cost?
