You should really keep better track of that stuff. I keep a .txt file with all of the things I have pre-ordered (as well as things I just want) and their release dates. Not just figures, but games, books, everything.
I have an excel doc that I constantly update.
Yeah, really should keep track of that stuff.
I did that last year, though having an easy to access dollar amount that I had spent in 2013 on anime goods scared me so I'm not keeping track anymore...
I do, obviously, keep some track so that nothing surprises me. But a record of the exact dollar amount spent on this hobby is scary.

Anyway, here's a quick photo I took of Mahou Shoujo Miku earlier today.

Looks like it's the whole case, which has 10 mini boxes, and it's mini figures so 1 secret, all 8 different characters from the box cover and 1 repeat.

I still haven't opened it yet, but if it is like the first case, there are 2 secret characters, lol

I think the worse set with repeats I gotten was this one:
Petit Chara Land "Tales of" Series Puchitto Issho Arc BOX
7 characters and 10 come in a box, lol
I split it with a friend and I think we both got a Flynn, Kyle and a Jude, lol
But, at least it's better than the sets where there are more characters than number of pieces in a box

mannnn setting up figures is hard.
Miku 2020 is HUGE sideways and was a pain to get one tail in (was scared to breaking something)
Elf is surprisingly easy to put together.
Also strike witches are hard to fit in a billy. Atleast putting 5 in one spot. I have to leave 2 out on the dresser since Lynette big as sniper makes her over 11 inches high >_>. I don't really care for the alternative pose with her aiming the rifle.
This museum putty is amazing tho. Its pretty strong and easy to remove and adjust

I'm gonna dust my billy at some point tomorrow and swap out a few figures. I'll be putting Elf and SDCC Psylocke in the case. Miku wasn't difficult for me to assemble, I just kinda hate how much space she takes up, considering that billy bookcases aren't all that deep.
Unlicensed figures always make me smile a bit, like that recent not-Halle-Berry.
Just noticed this guy in Amiami, with the amazing name "Medicated Psychopath James".
He seemed familiar, but I couldn't place him right away.
I then noticed the manufacturer had another: "Mercenary Adam".
That's when I figured out who these guys were. Wait a minute, there's even one picture together!
What a strange, strange thing to emulate. So much after the fact, too.

Well office chairs in 1/8 form aren't cheap!

Hey guys, do me a favor - If anyone spots one of these at a reasonable price (under 10k, preferably under 8k), lemme know? I already checked all the usual suspects.
Freezasaurus

Well, she supposedly popped up pre-owned on AmiAmi a month or two ago for 6k, so she shouldn't be too pricey. I appreciate it.

Picked her up here. Thanks! I also took the opportunity to order a 64GB Vita card and ship them together.
Oceania region.
I have a PO Box which sideshow doesnt seem to like. Don't have much problems if they just ship with EMS or something.
i dunno where that is, lol
yea, SS doesn't do PO Box. I don't think there will be any issues with buying Hot Toys from AmiAmi but you'll miss out ont he SS exclusive version of Star-Lord.
yea bought here yesterday used. She will be my first Alter figure...
I have her. She is gorgeous.

That reminds me, who's getting delayed this month! My money is on Amazon, with another delay for Kyoko. Calling them both right here.
Hm. I was looking at her the other day. What anime is she from?
Found her here Link The show is called Waiting in the Summer (Ano Natsu de Matteru) apparently.
Still hoping Phat Ryuko gets delayed...or comes out at the tailend of this month!

ryuuko from phat will get delayed. Phat hasn't released a figure on time in like 2 years? atleast.
I got nadeko and put it together and my god ...that shit is so unstable. its one small ass peg thats like l---l tall and its only ONE peg.
I just museum putty that shit and its super stable now.

Amazon just got a release date announced a few days ago for Aug 29, which happens to be the last business day of the month. I'd wager a delay is pretty likely.

No doubt.
Kurosaki Mea [Max Factory]
Ryuko [Phat Company]
These are the two pre-orders for the month that I feel will be delayed. I was going to mention Sansei Muramasa [Wing], but I think they [more-or-less] get their figures out on-time. It's possible it might be delayed once, though.
Oh, I got my payment request for Shimakaze [Amakuni] from N-Y. It seems as though they expect her to be in-stock on the 20th.
So starts the KanColle collection...

Mm! Mm! Mm! Shimakaze.
If my wallet were looser on figures, it'd be a dead(er) man walking.
Cammy's my favorite Street Fighter woman. Sweet figure and thanks for the pictures!
Nice pictures man, thanks for sharing!
Haha, that infamous One Piece pre-order battle, huh? Thankfully I'm pretty much done with those, having secured the Straw Hat crew and several others beside, but I might be tempted if one comes along that looks amazing.
I wish you luck!
Yeah, something about Shimakaze appeals to me. It's probably the bunny ears. Or the sailor outfit. Or the striped-socks. Or all of it.
I was debating between this and GSC's version, but I preferred Amakuni's since it was closer to her original source material and wasn't as..."fanservice-y" as GSC's. Well that and Amakuni is an exclusive meaning GSC's will likely be easier to find on the after-market if I get desperate. Both look great though, IMO.
I think I'm good with just one, though. I don't even want to get into the idea of collecting multiple of the KanColle girls.

Yes on the first, also yes on the second.
Also said I would never buy a Beach Queen, Nendo or Figma. Got them all pre-ordered. I think I might need professional help...
