If anyone missed Elizabeth preorders from the usual, www.nakamatoys.com is starting to take preorders, also preorder items are 10% off with discount code "preorder"

HLJ and Nippon-Yasan would be my top two picks.

C'mon someone needs to enable johnsmith XD
Let's see if Ragingnight's attempt is successful XD

Too pricey, as Ragingnight mentioned. Also stay away from Play-Asia (at least for figures).

Also avoid YesAsia unless they are having a sale on the figure or something XD (Price mark ups and what not)

They're reliable but overpriced. Your best bets are AmiAmi and HobbySearch. I think all this is in the OP?

What is it? Is that that Thanatos doo-hickey everyone's fussing about?
I know, I've already bought from AmiAmi. J-List wasn't mentioned, so I was asking about it.

You order characters you don't even know? FigureGAF doesn't fuck around.

Welcome to Figure GAF, again =D lol
I might technically be the "winner" but I'm also the winner in "Spending of Money". Granted they're for items I feel worthy of, so I don't personally mind, but when I look at the dollar amount spent, it can be shocking. O_O
BTW nice job on collecting the Lineage II girls. I'm likely to pre-order Kamael later, I'm just trying to find a way to fit her into my budget. It wouldn't feel right to collect the other two [well three, I guess, if you included color variants]. That's my reasoning, anyway!
If you like Hatsune Miku or, at least her design, and the look of the 7th Dragon 2020 figure, you definitely made the correct decision! She will definitely sell out and, given past 7th Dragon 2020 releases, only increase more in-price post-release. I feel pretty confident in the figure turning out amazing since:
1) Max Factory
2) Shining Wizard!
3) Past 7th Dragon 2020 figures by Max Factory have been incredible
She's an extremely safe pre-order to make. I'm positive that you'll be happy with her.
And the stress level/F5 key associated with One Piece figure pre-orders.
Seriously, it's war.
I do it all of the time, hence my abundance of figures. >_<.
Often-times the figures will be what get me into their respective anime [or other material the figures is based on].

At that point, I would probably be realizing my mistake of getting into One Piece to begin with.
Also, how do you watch 40 episodes so quickly? Shit. I watched 18 episodes of Super Robot Wars in the past two days and I can't close my eyes without seeing robots.
One Piece so far has been generally light hearted, so it has been easy to marathon. Watching a show marathon is what happens when I have nothing better to do on a weekend, and I didn't feel like playing video games. Tomorrow is a holiday in Canada, so I am hoping to finish 60+ episodes before the weekend is done. Then I will slow down on my pace.

Good luck getting through the 600 episodes that exist.
Where are you watching it? Streaming?

Thanks. I was able to preorder him for HLJ for twelve percent more.
Which anime is this from? I think you already answered that in the previous OT but I didn't write it down at the time.
Freezasaurus

Anytime. HLJ is sometimes a last resort, but you can cancel at anytime. So if it does become available at AmiAmi again, it may make sense to order it and cancel the HLJ order.

Whoa! This just popped up out of nowhere.

I'm a fan of Rockin' Jelly Bean's work and I wish the prices on his Invisible Woman weren't ridiculous, might have to think about grabbing this.

It's been up on amiami for like, three days. Where have you been?
But if you want it, buy it. They even say on the listing that they may not be able to get enough to fill all orders.
Yeah, I'm grabbing it. This'll probably be super expensive in a couple of years. I have my fingers crossed for lots of delays in December.
Well that was a failure on your part and everybody else who saw it to not post about it here! Figures based on foreign properties are easy to miss on JP sites.It's been up on amiami for like, three days. Where have you been?

Enabling +1
Awww yeah. Besides, the wording on that one is different from that on the usual provisional pre-orders, like they don't expect to get too many of them.

Skip the fillers for your sanity lol, at the newest One Piece those fillers XD
sometimes a nice design transcends the source material. i own plenty of figures from series i've never seen/read.

Decided I should update my avatar. I realized I hadn't taken much in the way of photos of my ebCraft Selvaria since I got my new camera over a year ago.
Think I'll try this out for a little while, based off this photo I just took:
I was going to use the whole thing, but you can't see her eyes when you shrink it down so much.

lol, trying to shift the blame.
I thought it was a bit of an oddball item when I saw it. With that 70's hairstyle and everything. I like the way the text is done on the base, though.

I have sealed POP Nico Robin (time skip) / Shirahoshi if anybody is interested PM me.

So tempted, but I haven't even gotten into One Piece yet. I'm trying to stave it off as long as possible.
Saw this while browsing Hobbysearch. Didn't care for the Jelly Bean IWoman.
But Mystique looks really nice. Damn Dec is gonna be a expensive month.
Alright figure GAF. I need to downsize again, that means figure give away! firsts to respond gets dibs etc.. Just need to pay shipping!

I'm not going to participate personally, but you're awesome for doing this.
Just letting you know!
Wow, that's really nice of you. Unfortunately all the ones I like seem to be claimed already.
I haven't listed my preorders yet, they don't seem that bad compared to a lot of you guys. My September is absolutely brutal, but at least I've got nothing in August, October, or November.
