Huh, didn't realise there was this type of thread floating around.
I need to open like 6 packages full of figures. Haven't had the space around the house to sort them out. Hell, I can't even recall what's in some of the packages so I'm in for a surprise.
...Plus, a new package arrived yesterday which I need to pick up. Screw financial responsibility!

Welcome enjoy your stay in figure heaven/hell XD
I fell down the slippery slope a looong time ago. I don't really invest in statues these days, more of a Figuarts and figma guy. I like having dynamic display options.

Her Force Unleashed costume is so much better than the traditional Jedi robes she's been wearing in like, every other media appearance.
I hope she's the next Star Wars bishoujo after Mara Jade.

Nah not slippery slope kind of thing more like we enable one and another XD
Already tempted seeing the talk of the Alter Milla on the other page. I remember seeing the figure when it was up for pre-order last year and thinking she had a neat character design, but passed since I wasn't familiar with the source material.
...Now that I've played Xillia, I want to pick her up.
She went through several stages. In the beginning she was "waste of money, stop throwing it away" blah blah blah. She came with me to London Comic Con and saw me pick up Yoko and Batgirl, but she didn't get a good look at them.
Then she came to visit once and went STRAIGHT for the figures. She couldn't stop talking about them, how great they were, how beautiful, such detail etc.
A few days ago she told me she was thinking about starting her own collection but she was looking for the "right type" to fit her (and she cited Kongiku lol).
And now this...Tomorrow I'll go over to her place and give her the lecture on preorders etc...and probably make her an Amiami/HS account.
Edit : I already need to order 2x Mara Jade and gift one to 2 friends of mine that are big fans of the SW EU so if Koto ever does Shaak Ti...sigh. In other news, the TFAW Jaina Solo never arrived. I r sad

Don't enable me back XD, I'm tempted by that figure but got the CE prize figure one so I'm okayish XD
I have the CE one and I still ended up ordering the Alter one. It just looks so much nicer.
I should also get a picture up of my stack of unopened boxes. I wonder how far up to my ceiling I can get.

Xillia continues to touch hearts, minds and wallets.
I've heard about it, but am buuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrried in JRPGs right now.
P3P, SMT IV, EO IV, FF XIII-2, Atelier Totori Plus, the list goes on and on. I'll put it on the list to check out! This one seems to be getting a lot of buzz.

lololol, the Milla thing from the other day totally died out until I broke down and ordered it last night. Now everyone is being tempted again.
Also, did Chun-Li pre-orders start yet? Entertainment Earth seems to be taking them.

Lies. You seem to be the only one I've seen comment on it who thinks so thus far.
They've got most of the Vesperia characters out already, don't they?
I'd definitely buy a Judith.
I like her hair and outfit, but not really her face. She just doesn't have the wow factor of other top tier Alter figures like Jubei Yagyu or Momohime.
Judith, Repede and Karol are the only unannounced ones from the core group.

Isn't her face exactly the same as every anime character ever?
I forgot about Repede. He would be awesome, too.

Yeah, they started yesterday in the US.

Nippon-Yasan has Lucifer in stock for $130. Seems a bit pricey, but she is pretty big with that base and everything. I'd bite if I wouldn't feel the urge to get all seven of them.
One question though, which ones are out and which ones aren't? What's the release schedule look like? Lucifer is the only one I've even seen on AmiAmi or N-Y.
I do, but it got a reaction.

The Obon Holiday in Japan might have something to do with it, unless you're talking about something that started prior to this week? I'm not sure since I don't [generally] focus on pre-owned figures. My pre-order list is large enough as-is, I do not need to add to it!

the others were exclusives
GWAHAHAHAHA! Another falls victim!#yolo #aftermidnightpurchases #nofinancialresponsibility #makingastatement
Well-done, enablers. Well-done!
Asmodeous, Leviathan, and Lucifer are out. Asmodeous and Leviathan was exclusive, Lucifer wasn't.
As for the rest, they haven't said one way or another whether they will/won't be exclusives, so I suppose we'll just have to wait and see!

Looks like my Scar Predator is coming out soon
Nope. It's been going on all summer. I'd see interesting stuff pop up almost every night before. But these days the pickings are slim. Even though I got most of my wants, I still check it every night.
Fixed that for ya. I think Milla is a great figure, though.
That's really strange, then. Perhaps those that provided AmiAmi with the figures decided Mandarake was the better option?
It's a shame, though. I know many looked to AmiAmi for pre-owned figures [not just yourself]. Here's hoping that if there is a problem that it's fixed shortly!

How are we victims if we're getting an awesome figure out of it?
It better be an awesome figure. -_-
Also, is her sword shiny as in "reflective", or is it just painted silver?
Victim to those who enable, successor to great figure-collecting.
It's just painted [not reflective], but she's an incredible figure. You won't be disappointed.
Are you thinking of purchasing Jude to go alongside her? You should, you really should. They make an amazing pair and would really compliment your collection.

I might, but he's not really a priority. Getting Estellise as part of next months order, though. Unless she gets delayed. Which I'm praying something does, otherwise September will be five figures.
He's pretty great, even more so after finally playing Tales of Xillia.
It's refreshing to have a male JRPG that doesn't whine [at least not yet], is level-headed, and actually uses his fists [and not a sword]. I'm liking him a lot more than I thought I would.
Yeah September is looking to murder me, since two of my expensive pre-orders for the month has been delayed there on-top of what was originally releasing in that month. If nothing gets delayed...well...it's a good thing that I'm not a heavy eater.

oh, I'm definitely thinking about it. I'll see what the next few weeks look like.
Question about Milla... how tall is she exactly? Nippon-Yasan says 16cm under the data portion, but it lists Jude at 17cm, and I know that isn't right because I've seen a pic of them side-by-side.
