Anyone paid for Phat Ryuko yet? I ordered her on CDJapan but nothing's happened yet and it's the 26th...

Trigger tried to bill me a few hours ago. I hope they don't mind waiting about a week for payment.
Damn Edea-chan :/

Yay! Go karts!

I have a question.

I live in Dundee in Scotland and a new (and only) animie specialist shop has opened up. It's been quite busy and I popped in and chatted to the owner.
There is a cool Racing Miku (2012) figure and nendroids but unsure as to how to check authenticity. The price is about right for what you'd pay including shipping and a bit on top, but want to make sure what I get from there is genuine. Unsure if I want to ask where he gets them from Japan incase it seems I'm being rude
You could always check the figure on My Figure Collection and see if anyone has posted photos of known counterfeit versions of the specific figure

On another note, my shirahoshi collection accelerates
95853199735
 
I calculated the cost of all my preorders.

Jesus...

Ha ha. I prefer not to think about things like that. I simply concern myself with the month-by-month costs. There's not much reason to worry about the big picture anymore than you would worry how much all of your electric or water bills are going to amount to for the next year. :p

Just got home to be greeted with part of my August order! Got nendo Ryuko, 2 GSC Madokas, and Rorona today. Tomorrow or Wednesday I should be getting 2 more (Ludger since I had to pass on the Xillia 2 LE because I had no money at the time and Totori to finish off my alchemist group) and this weekend or so I should be getting my magical girl Nia figure to finish off the month. Spent more than I meant to this month, but whatever. Next month is gonna be pretty awful, too. (and I may not even be done this month- I'm thinking of getting a Jojo figure for my boyfriend- need to start him down this dangerous figure path as well)
 
My August order was only two pre-owned figures, amounting to 7k even after shipping. Good thing, because September is looking apocalyptic. Here's hoping we get delays out the ass.
 
through-out april next year? that really isn't too bad, was expecting worse tbh lol
like i bet out there that's somebody's actual monthly spending

Yeah, I've been cutting back. Especially on impulse buys and the like. For the most part, I decide what I'm going to buy based on what gets displayed at shows like WonFest. Then if the painted previews turn out well, I'll usually pre-order.
 
You guys are making me curious to check out mine.

I will not. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

I don't know exactly what prices you paid, so I estimated mostly. Adding some to list price for exclusives, subtracting usual AmiAmi discounts. You're looking at about $3000 based on what you've got listed on order on your MFC page.

:D

Damn you. :(

Did you factor in some of the exclusives, such as the Seven Deadly Sins, that I have pre-paid already? That should knock off $200-$300 or so.

ahahahhahaha, so cold man, so cold :D

Edit, and that doesn't include shipping does it ;0
 
Got my shipment in today!

I was most excited for EO4 Sniper Girl and she is gorgeous!
Gotta pick up some paint and practice on a Gundam model before building her because a straight build won't look very nice at all.

They were even nice enough to include two free HG Custom Gun kits in my order. :)

So, I got this Madoka figure in my box today and I cannot for the life of me get her foot onto the peg thing on the base. It's frustrating me so much I'm about ready to just pack her back up. I love the figure- she's adorable, but it's pretty annoying. Anyone have this figure and had any troubles?
 
You know not what damage you have inflicted upon me!

I have cast the ultimate destruction spell. It's called "Reality." Hear its' name and tremble, mortals.

Freezasaurus on the Akame Ga Kill wagon, whoot!

I've been watching the anime from the beginning, but now that best girl has been introduced, I realize we need an Esdese figure yesterday. Maybe I should check out the manga, too.

Well, good thing I started my "Miku collection" today... >_>

Even though I've seen a bunch of pictures of her at this point, she's still gorgeous. The first really unique racing Miku I've seen. I think it's the addition of the moe generators on her hips this year.

Mine comes out to $954 through out February 2015 not including ones that are already paid. Including already paid figures brings the total to $1214. Reading that makes me a little ill.

Well. That's still no small amount of money to spend on a hobby. :D

...I have $1,363.03 worth of purchases on just AmiAmi for the rest of the year. This isn't including games and other stuff I was planning on buying.

I am more afraid of my LEGO spending than my figure spending. I know I've easily spent at least 3k on LEGO this year which is actually light. I think I spent around 7k in 2011, Over 20k since I started collecting LEGO again in 2009.

There's a point where I needed to stop and I've clearly passed it. I can afford it, but I need to keep my spending more in check from now on.

Yeah, those definitely add to her already very dynamic design.

Calculating the cost of all my figure preorders is scary...
I'm currently at ~$1050... Q_Q
Calculating total cost is how I plan the payment plan on my card, since some months are wayyy heavier than others.
Like this month I spent around $800 (dolls/figures) but next month I only have Sakura nendo coming.

AmiAmi order came in, suprisingly, I think that even above my 2013 Racing Miku and Arch Bishop Nendo that this was my favorite snag. She's absolutely gorgeous. Super heavy, the colors are pastel but still pop. And her hair amazing. I really, really like her.



I think I'm gonna try and collect the whole line.

Needa is amazing as a standalone piece. Definitely get her. One of the best Shunya figures.
