Ooh, for me it was two weeks and it was supposed to be freaking EMS. I'm suspecting they opened the parcel and probably questioned for that long if the content was ok or something.
Ditto, 2 weeks however is the longest i've had from EMS

Wow, that long? This is EMS too. Knew I should of gone for SAL
It's just a waiting game now, and I'm feeling horribly impatient.

My post office will only sometimes deliver to my apartment building.
When they don't, it sits in the post office and I SOMETIMES get a notice in my mailbox. If I wasn't so anal about hounding the tracking number, I'd probably be screwed since they return to sender after only a week.

never had to pickup a package via ems or sal.
Customs usually take a day for ems. I have sasaki stuck in customs today as well. Another package is Origin is processing or whatever. And my EMS amiami month order is on transit from japan.
man this coming week is going to be a buttload of shit.

I'm learning that lesson now. He always shows up at like, 9 or 10am with the EMS delivery, and I'm never home. Always end up having to pick it up the next day.
Also, OMGFUCKYES Kotobukiya Shinobu incoming.
The postal office workers who drops off packages at my house are so inconsistent. Sometimes, they will arrive at 10am just before I head off to work. Other times, the packages come as late as 4pm and they have to leave a notice for me to pick up the package at the post office.

Half joking. I'm sure they'll both be good.

Good. Because I didn't want my only option for a Shinobu to figure cost $280.

I don't know what the chances of that are. The new Grasshopper game (Killer is Dead) kind of bomba'd.
I'd totally buy a NMH Shinobu figure, though.

I'd love this. However, teen Shinobu from Nisemonogatari could really damage my wallet.

thats not a problem. I wished I got the original for the blue one. Colors matched really well but the new alt isnt bad at all. I do like the blue/red scheme >_> but I guess white/black has to do.

Face is softer than I expected from the unpainted sculpt, but it still looks alright. Don't know if I'll get though. I really have to think hard about every purchase. Space is at a premium these days.
Edit: On close-up her face does look really nice!
This though:
...I expected more.

I don't really mind having to do that. It's just one extra day and the post office is right on my way to work.

Turned out great. Sexy as hell.
Are huge, but I guess that's expected. The sculpt is pretty nice though.

So it seems as though the Mikasa figma is already selling out at stores, which isn't a huge surprise considering how popular the series is. I'm holding back on purchasing it, though, since I know there will be numerous scaled figures and I want to save my $$$ for those. It's the same reason I'm not collecting the Nendoroid's.
The way I see it, the case of Attack on Titan is massive. Therefore, there will be many characters to collect and I know that once I start I won't be able to finish. I'll try to collect the scaled figures, but figma's don't really impress me [due to their smaller size, joints, etc.] and I'm trying to stop collecting Nendoroid's [not that I don't like them, it's just that they're so numerous and the cost can really add up].
It seems as though I'm sticking with my resolution for 2014 so far...

i only care about Mikasa the most and maybe a few of the other mains. Not gonna bother with everyone they make.
Heh, nice to see that you show restraint.
Speaking of, I wonder if they will bother sculpting the less popular characters or sticking purely with the main leads. I mean, the characters are numerous, so it would make sense for them to restrict their creation process to those that desperately need it rather than create everyone.
It's too bad Alter isn't handling the license for Attack on Titan. I would have liked to see what they would come up with.

The problem with the human characters, which johnsmith brought up, is that their outfits are all the same. I daresay to the point of making most of them rather uninteresting to look at. I mean, I'd buy a scaled Mikasa and Levi. Certainly an Annie. But most of the interest, visually, is going to be for the figures of the actual Titans themselves.
On a side note... I'm thinking of getting a Tekken bishoujo or two, because I don't want Jun to be lonely. Looking at Alisa (LE or regular?) and maybe Christie. But Christie is like, $90 now and fuck that, even if her ass is glorious. Opinions?
That is a very valid point. I never thought of it that way.

Haha, true enough!It's a valid point that's going to save me big bucks.
Whatever we must find to help us save a bit of money [to later spend on my more figures, more than likely] is a necessity. This hobby is expensive enough as-is!
Pretty much what I was thinking about it.

they probably won't make too many characters considering some die fairly quickly.
