Yessssss. It's the most expensive shipping option. I only use it if I've got three or more figures shipping at the same time. I last used it back in May, and it cost me about $60 to ship three figures.
The flip side, is that you'll get your shit super-fast. But if you're only buying that Akainu figure from HLJ, I'd switch it to SAL.
Another one for the wishlist.

This is neat at least:
9500 down to 6650
I really wanted a Yukiko figure but they're all so expensive now.
Not Megahouse's

2,172 yen
Plamoya and amiami couldn't give these away. They had them on sale for months and for a lot cheaper. I passed because she's ems only.This is neat at least:
9500 down to 6650
This sale is pretty crappy. There's nothing there worth buying.
Not as nice as the Alter one both in pose and quality it seems, but I sure as hell am not going to spend like $300 on that Alter one lol.

Did you just buy Tales of Xillia? Me too. But I'm playing Dragon's Crown first.
I've thought about buying that Milla Maxwell figure, but $100 is a bit steep. Especially when I just paid for my Kotobukiya Asuka 3.0 today.
Yeah, don't everyone try to buy that Men in Black bishoujo all at once.
HOW DID ANYONE AT KOTO EVER THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?! lolololol

Yep, I did haha. I'm just worried with the hype surrounding it that both figures will quickly reach OOS status.

Eh, she's only in the 5k-6k range at mandarake. I got her for $64 shipped a few months ago, and the price hasn't really gone up
yet, I can see it skyrocketing once the US fans want to get a hold of her
Yeah, she's sold out at the moment. Set up an alert on figinstock with her japanese name and you should be able to grab her. She pops up often.

I don't buy figmas, but I'm really thinking about getting that figma Strength from Black Rock. That crazy-face looks amazing.

Just got this for 280 yen from amiami. I didn't even know they'd made a figure of Aika.
Which figure series is that? DO want!!!!! BEEF BOWLLLLLL
Thanks for that! Just set up an alert with the Japanese name.
She's the secret figure in Sunny Side Up's Happy Kuji Persona 4 set.

I hadn't looked too deeply into the series bc I didn't think they were as cute as Taito's set.
And while we're talking about Persona, not sure how I missed this Brosuke pic. I only have 3 of these.

Well i had a plan for it. I am going to get the remaining Supernovas first. Killer should be here tomorrow. Need Hwkins and Bonny. I want to get the Shichibukai next, so Blackbeard would fit. But i need to wait another week for money and to hit weight loss goal. Uuuugggghhh.
Alter Millia is pretty amazing. The hair sculpt is awesome.

I know how you feel. I'd pick up Jude and Millia, but I've got enough on order already. Plus there's the Attack on Titan stuff on the way... I've got priorities.

Take your time collecting One Piece merch. It will consume your wallet and bank account if you act too swiftly. I'd love to convert some of my S.H. Figuarts Zero collection into POP's but it's cray cray paying high prices. They kind of seem to be doing bigger releases now.

Ahhhhhh! So tempted, but then I would have to buy Jude as well. I'll pass. I've got enough on order for this year.
Thanks, though.

Preordered it. Not that chuffed with the crazy face prefer the other look.
So long to wait for my first figure

I've never actually seen Black Rock Shooter... Does the crazy face actually suit her character?
And as to the lengthy wait, just buy more figures. That seems to solve most problems.

Just my luck,
when I don't have the cash for something it goes for a reasonable price but the second I get paid everything I wanted skyrockets to a crazy price.

I stumbled on this thread (only figures I've had were with my Disgaea 4) and saw it and thought it was amazing. Didn't know what it was until after I ordered it when my friend said that it may perceive to be sad (pathetic) to some people if they ask what it is and you don't know...
having seen some of it the face does fit but I'm not one for wanting that look
Looking at those miniature Persona figures in those pictures johnsmith posted, I want to buy those small television sets they're using as platforms for raising figures in the back of a display. If those aren't available, I should finally get to buying clear platforms to raise figures in the back of my shelves.
I've never seen BRS either (I heard it's not that great? I dunno...), but it has some awesome looking designs.
Doesn't really bother me if I'm not familiar with the source, I'd still get a cool-looking figure any day.
edit: Crap, I need to add a few BRS figures to my alert list now. This thread's evil.

I've got Strength preordered and have seen the series!
Yes, the crazy face suits her personality. All the BRS characters have really nice designs.
BRS spoilers if you care to know:
The anime as a whole has really nice animation and design but the plot is a bit weak.

BRS spoilers if you care to know:
All the girls in the series attend a typical school but have "doubles" that fight in another world.
When the girls get overwhelmed with emotion their doubles fight each other in that other world.
The real-world Strength switched with the other world Strength to escape bullying and the harshness of reality in favor of a world fighting. She doesn't want to return.

Ugh. Ordered Alter's Naoe Kanetsugu. Buying that Yagyu Gisen on sale from Hobby Search a few months ago was a mistake as it made it easier to buy the others. At least I was able to get on board with the Samurai Girls series right as they're being rereleased and I can get them for a decent price. Hopefully their price will go up again to their old highs.
The panty shot is pretty gratuitous, but she looks good from the front. And that hammer is awesome.
Really hoping they rerelease Tokugawa Sen.

Also up on BBTS for a ridiculous $190.
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=GEC10000&mode=retail
Even $120 is too much considering the face sculpt isn't that great and it's slightly under 10inches tall. $80 is about the max I'd pay for it.
I'd recommend Phat Company's Hibari. She is adorable.Now that Senran Kagura has been announced for U.S. release, I don't know if I can resist getting their figures now.
It's pretty cute. I like their Katsuragi, too. That one's in stock at AmiAmi right now.
Ultimately, I might just wait it out. I don't think Senran Kagura is going to be dropping in popularity any time soon.
