I know its a long shot but is there any reputable store that still sells the GSC 1/8 Ultimate Madoka new?

She pops up pre-owned from time to time. Keep an eye on AmiAmi and Mandarake. Though the price is starting to creep up now that Akuma Homura is on the horizon.
Whew, glad I got one from a MFC group splitting thing for much less. I still can't get over how cute she is

Have fun. Don't buy too much ;P
I just left the Mandarake Complex shop and bought Lucifer from Orchid Seed's Seven Deadly Sins for 13k... Dunno if there is any damage but will check when I'm at my hotel.. I'm weak!
Anyone getting that Chachamaru figure?

I need to know that someone else out there wants it besides me lol.

Are you going to Odaiba? They got a Capcom store there with lots of Monster Hunter goods.
I think she's pretty cute on her own but I can see the argument for getting the mech (which doesn't do much for me personally) too. Argh, I wanted to save some yens though!
I was thinking that but I just wandered into Koto's store and there it is, lol

Ah, hehe.
Sheryl Nome hits 10,000 yen on AmiAmi.

Considering she was around 16,000 yen retail, that's quite a sale. I still have no interest in her, though.

Hahahahaha no. Not at that price.
I think a lot of people know better than to fall for that trick when shipping is going to be lolololol.
Well yeah, sure. EMS shipping will increase the price quite a bit. Even still, if you're interested in the figure [and don't have hobby stores near you that sell this kind of thing] it's better to pay 10,000 yen + EMS shipping than the 16,000 yen + EMS shipping that you had at release.
You still save money, although as mentioned the EMS shipping will increase it by about 5,000 yen or so [maybe more]. >_<

Even with shipping, if it was something I liked, I would jump on it at that sort of discount. Devil homura for instance. I just don't like how sheryl looks even if it is an interesting base. I just can't justify paying that much for homura, especially now when all prices are going up and I just know that the max factory guts will be like 250 dollars and I am getting that, no matter what. It's pretty much a guarantee that the Guts figure will maintain value because there are no others out there but art of war ones and those started at crazy prices and have gone up even crazier. I don't buy figures for resale but I do decide if I will pre-order or not if I think it will be cheaper to wait till after release. Best bet will be if it ends up limited like that belldandy.
Nice job purchasing Lucifer. She's great.
If the title of the next OT is something like "Abandon all hope and wallet, ye who enter here" I wonder how many would click by curioisity and fall into the void...
agreed 100% Tokyo>>>>>>>NYC by far.
Where else are you traveling in Japan? Just hearing about your shopping makes me so jealous. I was there for the holidays and I loved every second of it.

Go to Nakano Broadway too. You can combine that with a trip to the Ghibli museum if you have any interest in going there.
Oh I forgot about Nakano Broadway! Thanks for reminding me, definitely wanting to go there.
I considered the Ghibli Museum, but ultimately decided against it, so never registered tickets.
Hot Toys is finally going to show their Arkham City Batman
Looks cool but I'm gonna pass. I would prefer the armored one in Arkham Knight.
Will keep an eye out for this since I still don't have an MGS figure (since Play Arts seems to suck). It being the MGS2 Snake is even better since its my favorite in the series (and my no.1 game of all time).
Only have one figma so far and its Guts from Berserk. Really like the look and detail and it cost under $30 with shipping so the price felt like a steal.
EDIT: Looked at some more pics of figma Snake on MFC and I think I'm sold, a definite buy.
Ah okay! I was going to recommend going to Denden Town in Osaka if you were going to be down there and are interested in retro/import games at all. I think the branches of Super Potato in Osaka are way better than the ones in Akihabara. In any case, enjoy your time in Tokyo! Greatest city in the world IMO.
Who are some of your favorite characters so we can be sure not to post them?

That first Luka figure does look pretty nice~
Stolen from the PosterGAF thread:

If you guys don't know, Mondo prints limited edition (less than 1000 copies), high quality posters and prints from high profile artists that have a huge resale value. Now they're branching into figures.
They don't delve into anime/Japanese culture often, but Olly Moss made a REALLY awesome Totori print, so there's always a chance.
If you're into this stuff...good luck.

Cool, but don't Mondo stuff go on sale and sell out within minutes then go on ebay for 4x the cost? Nope...
