Trust me, it will go much worse with a stockpile of PVC figures of apparently under-aged females.
She's already AmiAmi's top-seller for now.
I ordered two figures from Manda. I only wanted one, but it was only 3k so I added another figure to get to 5k and avoid the 500Y handling fee. I checked it for "cancel order if this figure is unavailable" for the figure I wanted. Well, the one I didn't want was sold so I was only getting the one I wanted. They didn't charge the fee.
That's pretty neat.

I'm pretty sure it's Sora from "No Game No Life".
Ding ding ding. Who knows what tomorrow brings.

I suppose the color palette should have tipped me off.
I just arrived at my hotel in Ueno, Figure GAF... So exhausted.
But tomorrow I am hoping to finally go to Akihabara! I brought an empty suitcase just in case (literally... though I spread stuff out for when I came over because I figured a truly empty suitcase would seem suspect...)

I will be staying at Ueno too come Sept.
You should have tried to insert the empty bag inside a bigger one.

Ueno seems like a reasonable area.
That is what I would have done, unfortunately that would have put me over the 50 lbs per single bag limit that I had, so the split gave me a nice 20/30lbs difference (bag weight included).

I got my first Detolf today. Now I can actually display figures outside of their packaging, safe from grubby fingers and jerk cats.
Today was a good day.

Protip - Putting together a Detolf by yourself kinda sucks.
But seriously, it can be done by yourself, just takes longer.
I said before cajun but I'll be moving with my 120 odd figures later in the year too. I'm moving about 40 minutes away from where I live now and I'm scared to hell of breaking anything while putting them all back in their boxes and stuff.
The older scale ones I'm going to wrap in bubble wrap as I'm scared their pegs will break inside the figure like they did with my elsie D:

Ugh, sounds awful. I'd be too afraid of breaking something. But if you've built them before, that makes it somewhat easier.
Okay, that's actually a really good idea. Where are those flames from?
Where's SD Burton?

I really wanted this figure also, but the price
The price was nuts, otherwise I probably would have bought her as well. But I guess it's easier for you guys that don't buy 650 figures per year.
Yup, since I'm still pretty selective it wasn't bad. Not a fan of the price but Signum was the only team member that I wanted that I was still missing. May still get Teanna and Subaru someday since they sell for pretty cheap but haven't decided. I also used the fact that I got all the rest except Nanoha and Fate for way under the original price as an excuse. I still need a better display option for Nanoha and Fate as they are open-air displayed right now and also the only shelving units that can hold them are in my LEGO room which means I have lost a complete shelf that I could of used for Lego.

there is still time for a garage sale.
I'm not sure, but I think I'll do the fake fruits and leaves combo.
Man, the Salamander Oil base is great. I wonder where I can find fire effects like that around here. The second to last one is great too, keeping the Dragon's Crown sign out.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
YES! YES! FUCK YES!
I have to get all the Tekken women now: all I need is Lili, Xiaoyu, and Jaycee. Pretty sure I have Nina on Pre-order and if I don't I soon will!

Think they are using these: Tamashii Effect Burning Flame Red Ver.
Tamashii Effect Burning Flame Blue Ver.
Could also probably use these:
Tamashii EFFECT IMPACT Beige Ver.
Tamashii EFFECT IMPACT Gray Ver.

Javac, Zavvi has a code for 10% off blurays and dvd preorders and it's applicable for the CE, so with code it's £80.99
http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/gurren-lagann-ultimate-edition/10891993.html
Had some reward points from Zavvi that I've gotten the price under £80 =D

Tamashii Effect Burning Flame Blue Ver.
Looks sick, but $30? Nope.
It's a bit of a pain if you want to have it raised (e.g. on top of a 1x1 EXPEDIT), but not that bad.
Getting it from the car into a 3rd floor apartment by yourself, on the other hand, is a giant pain.

It was available through a couple of festivals back in February.
GSC sells her at events and conventions, it was also for sale here in Europe at London Comic Con and Japan Expo in Paris.
Thanks. Looked into the seller though and apparently his 21 pages of items listed, are all bootlegs. I was getting pretty excited to find it on there, but glad I did some research.
Guess Miku especially is a popular character for bootlegs eh?
He uses official pictures so it is easy to get drawn into things.
I found someone on MFC who claimed to have a second which I could get from her, who then went completely quiet afterwards, so not sure what the deal with that is. Silly games.

There's a pre-owned WonderFest 2014 Snow Miku up at AmiAmi, but I'm guessing it's a bit more than you wanted to spend.
It begins.
Yeah it is haha. Someone told me she could drop in value after release, might have even been you. I was going to wait for that but then I saw people mentioning having ordered multiple of these. Not sure how that even works, but I figured maybe I can jump unto it.
Some people from French on MFC also did a group order which I missed out on. 50EUR was a great value, too bad I did not even find out about this one until someone posted it here.
But yeah 12,000¥ is too much for me. I could get it within Europe for that price and avoid the custom charges that always seem to hit me.

GSC took pre-orders on the wide-release version a few months back. They charged me for mine earlier this month, so it should be shipping soon. Once she's out in the wild, then prices should come down.
ABSOLUTELY NOT
My lil' bro brought me a gift, thought some people here might like it.
It's the Tokyo Vinyl Mechagodzilla. Really cute little bugger. While I'm not a big fan of SD figures I really appreciate it, after all Mechagodzilla is one of my favorite kaiju, and it fits well in my mecha-collection.
I won't lie, if this was based on the MvC design I might have been tempted.
