Man I hate hearing these shipping stories. So expensive!
Worst I've had is like $20 for EMS, (unless you count middleman services used for exclusives and merchandise not sold through online retailers, in which case, a chunk more).

Worse I had was a $44 charge for EMS.
Of course, SAL Registered was like $41 dollars so I just chose to spend a little more to get it to me faster, lol
Can't wait to see my shipping charges once the 1/8 figures start shipping...

Most I've ever paid for shipping was about 8k for one EMS shipment. Granted, it was four figures, but I still cringed when I saw the invoice.

So I got a huge box today...
Sena from Haganai Next (damn, she is beautiful)
And a handful (literally) of Sonico. This is kinda my Pokemon, gotta catch them all. Now where am I going to fit the other 7 or 8 that I'm getting till years end?

Did they fix the painting? The originals looked like they had no shading. Or maybe they just used super-lighting magic on these shots.

Got that figure preowned for about 8480JPY, feels good =D. Exact same quality as well =)
I have it, it's fantastic. Only minor gripe is that his sheathe can fall off easily.

Gotta love the mini-figures of the characters that come with them as well, not much reason to have them but it's nice and amusing, shame Alter has only done it for Vesperia figures.

Yeah, Rita bumped up in price online as well. Glad to know one of the few scales I own gained some value after pre-order.

MegaHouse did something similar with the Magi figures.

Yeah, I really like the mini-Flynn one that came with Flynn.
That's probably why I never got Estelle, since I already had a Nendo petite of her.
Samurai_Heart
Member
Yeah it's a great feeling XD
I was rather tempted to get those Magi figures, but I'm not gonna step down the route after seeing the price for Morgiana, went up a bit.
My wish is for Alter to make a scale Repede figure lol, a mini-Repede will be so great XD. But guess Vesperia merchandising is dying off ;__;
Was it a Tokyo Doll?

Hehe. That's a lot of them.

I think a Repede figure (of any size) with the whole cast on him would be amazing. Like the one above, lol
Poor Judith, doomed to never get a figure.

So getting this?
Or gotten this one?
41cm
1/2 Scale 91cm D=
Yes to both lol would want a figure of him, and yep she'll never get a figure just like Karol XD
Repede like this with his puppy will also do T-T Garage kits:

Am I crazy for liking the headsculpt more than the Figma's?Lol at the quality of those new Nintendo figs.
until we get other characters im kinda happy because he is the same scale as the Twilight Princess trading figures.
For $8 what more could I ask for, even Epona is coming down the line.

Think he is one of those crappy figures we had back in 1998.
Same here. I am very happy that I stepped away from it.
There's so many cool regular figures, just don't have the money to catch up on the ones I missed aswell as the ones coming up.
All these cool Homura's, bleh.

The more people keep talking about, the more I'm regretting not picking up Snow Miku from AX last month. ._.

Oh man. I'll gladly buy her when she releases in 2018.
Question, do some stores have small amounts of figures available when they are released, or do they mostly just run with whatever pre-orders come in?
I guess this differs for every store, but buying these figures in Europe is pretty much twice the price, at the same time they are not available on the Japanese shops, pre-orders for the Timeshift Homura already closed long ago.

It varies. Some figures are made to order, so only cancelled pre-orders will be left over. Others are readily available for a while after release. In the case of buying domestically, you pay so much more because that retailer wants to make a hefty profit and had to pay the same price for the item as those who imported. That's why buying a figure domestically in your country will often cost you an extra 30-60% and you'll be getting it a month later.
Can't wait to preorder her in 2017.
