Everyone makes me feel better~ Feels good.

 

[dakkumauji]

You just made me feel better. Thank you for this Chrono.

Same here, lol

 

[chrono01]

You just made me feel better. Thank you for this Chrono.

Thank you for making me feel not insane for spending $400+ in one month. You've done me a great service.

Same here, lol

Well I'm glad to have made you all feel better.

Know that this comes at the price of my wallet.

 

[yami4ct]

Oh, I know I do.

I'm getting better, though. All of these were pre-orders I made several months ago, and [unfortunately] were all delayed into a single month [October]. My new pre-orders have slowed down considerably, so if I can get through this, I should be able to get things back on track.


Too much. -_-

- Nendoroid - Cardcaptor Sakura: Sakura Kinomoto

- [AmiAmi Exclusive Bonus][Bonus] X-EROS COVER GIRL

- Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Kongo Half-damage ver.

This is the reason I don't buy any anime toys. If I started buying stuff outside of my current Robot/Toku limit, I'd become this way too quickly.

Oof, if I could only focus on collectible hobby I'd definitely pick up PG Unicorn then, but I need mah video gamesss.

I'm lucky this year has been sort of shit on games. It's been really hard not to grab Shadow of Mordor, Assassins Creed Unity and a few other games I really want, but once I cut myself off I started feeling OK just playing through all the stuff I bought and never finished. The real casualty of this year was the Xbox One. That was going to be my Christmas gift to myself, but then PG Unicorn and MP Star Saber happened.

[Einbroch]

Chrono have you ever posted pictures of your collection?

I'm super interested.

 

[Giolon]

Sideshow Batgirl is up for pre-order!

Link

Holy smokes, I thought that first image was a CG. Looks really nice. Can never spend that much money on one of those things though.

 

[Toki767]

Small time, all of you.

Spoiler

I blame all of you for this.

Hmm...going for Koto Mikasa over GSC? That log is just weird to me.

 

[Ultimadrago]

My October order from AmiAmi is sitting at just under 90,000 yen [before shipping].

That's assuming nothing is delayed. This is definitely the worst month I've ever had.

Oh, I know I do.

You are very wise indeed.

Thanks, I deserve that.

Chrono have you ever posted pictures of your collection?

I'm super interested.

I've posted a slight glimpse of my "wall of boxes" before, but nothing in-detail. The reason being that I'm still in the process of getting all of them [or at least, as much as I can] properly displayed [in glass cabinet(s)], so most of them remain in their boxed state. I will, however, take plenty of pictures once I have everything organized.

 

[dakkumauji]

I guess since we're sharing, lol

I also have the Haikyuu nendo from GSC and dunno what else.

One of the October ones is Kirigiri, I'm guessing AmiAmi knows she's gonna get delayed again

 

[omlet]

Right now for me figures-wise it's looking like:

October - Nothing
November - Nothing
December - Akuma Homura ($200)

In terms of other fun stuff, I'm looking forward to Persona Q and Etrian Odyssey 2 remake but I'm not in a rush to buy them since I still have some backlog. Already bought all the blurays I wanted this year (like Shin Sekai Yori and Kiniro Mosaic).

Even with that limit, my toy bills have definitely gotten out of control. Once the Transformers MP line really kicked into gear, I had to get my act to gather again. Before I culled out 90% of my US Transformers preorders out, let's just say that October bill probably would have had an extra zero on it. The December bill is an anomaly.

Spoiler

I'm telling myself

. Having to cull stuff out of my collection to even make that happen.

Cannot wait to see those picture when you get your collection ready. Sounds like you have some awesome stuff. I really need to clean up mine and take pictures again. I don't think I've taken collection pics since I expanded beyond collecting just Transformers.

 

[Kincaido]

No regrets

 

[Bombless]

Yeah, the first image is really impressive. Shame about the price.

 

[Einbroch]

Chrono and Kincaido make me feel so good.

Mother of God.

No regrets

Aaand this too.

 

[Einbroch]

On another note: Halloween Miku has sold out.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Chrono and Kincaido make me feel so good.

Agreed. They serve as benchmarks on my road to recovery.

 

[yami4ct]

No regrets

What.....I seriously cannot believe what I'm seeing here. What is even in those orders?

 

[kewlmyc]

Hmm...going for Koto Mikasa over GSC? That log is just weird to me.

I think the log/tree branch looks better than random piece of rooftop. Plus it's cheaper and matches with the Koto Eren I already own (which is great) and the Koto Levi I have on pre-order. Plus I've become a bit of a Kotobukiya fanboy as of late. Everything I've bought from them lately has been decently priced and of great quality.

 

[sca2511]

Good thing they have Flexpay (monthly payments) for them. I'm going to use that for this one.

 

[kewlmyc]

No regrets

I...I don't even understand...

High five for [relatively] reserved spending~

Nothing pre-ordered for next year yet?

Makes sense. I'm just not a fan of the pose they chose for Mikasa. I think GSC's pose looks cooler. Definitely not a fan of their pricing though.

 

[omlet]

Nope, Homura is the only preorder. I've snagged a few expensive things this summer (Houmei, Olivia) but I've been funneling most of my spending into paying off the mortgage.

I still kinda want the Ciel that GSC is doing supposedly in December but that thing is like as expensive as Homura so I couldn't pull the trigger on preordering. If it goes below $120 after release I will probably snag it because I really like how it looks, but I don't need it badly enough to preorder for like 14k (edit: it's good but not Homura-good, plus while I like the look, it's a source material I am not familiar with so there is no additional passion from that side). On a similar note I also still might preorder the Chinese dress + chair Sora but didn't pull the trigger on that yet, either.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Good man. You've seen the light. Kotobukiya has been getting really good. And they seem to be much more invested in the US market than most other figure makers.

 

[Bombless]

With September gone, the worst has passed. If I manage to control myself that is.

 

[Kincaido]

What.....I seriously cannot believe what I'm seeing here. What is even in those orders?

Mostly waifus with some Gundams, art books, games, and blu rays thrown in. Just the usual stuff

 

[Einbroch]

Wow, misread. NEVERMIND.

 

[StayDead]

People with these big orders, can I have some money please?

+ New 3DS

I'm thinking I'm going to put all those october orders together, but I've always been worried about being stung by customs on a bigger order. Anyone know how bad it is in the UK for big orders?

 

[yami4ct]

People with these big orders, can I have some money please?

Due to the big order, I have none left

 

[Ultimadrago]

Wait, Shiro is coming this month?!

I missed the memo because I was busy thinking she was very far off [Early next year].

SOON

 

[Einbroch]

Cruchyroll peeps ain't getting Shiro until January.

[kewlmyc]

Yeah, confirmed for the 29th.

Cruchyroll peeps ain't getting Shiro until January.

I'm perfectly okay with that too. She was a peer pressure buy so I don't mind much.

 

[Einbroch]

I'm okay with it too, as I've already paid for her so in my mind she's freeeeeeeeee.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Fuck yeah Shiro. Come to meeeeeeeee.

 

[yami4ct]

I'm okay with it too, as I've already paid for her so in my mind she's freeeeeeeeee.

The problem of having extra money sitting in my paypal account. "Oh look, I have $200, I can grab this one other thing!"..... 2 months later when I actually need it. "Oh no, I have no money anymore".

 

[Ultimadrago]

Yeah, confirmed for the 29th.

On the bright side, I can get a heads up on what level of quality to expect of the figure from other users/reviewers. Here's to me hoping it's as great as the official pictures.

Shiro >>>>> all, so in this case it doesn't matter.

Hail the Queen.

Trying to find a silver lining, eh? Kotobukiya is pretty consistent in the quality department.

 

[Ryuuroden]

I'm sure she was consistently.......traced.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Trying to find a silver lining, eh? Kotobukiya is pretty consistent in the quality department.

That's the one positive I get from it! And yeah, it would seem they have a solid reputation. It's my first figure from them, so I'm simultaneously excited and curious.

I'm sure she was consistently.......traced.

Ooooooo! Too soon, Ryuuroden!

 

[kewlmyc]

I'm sure she was consistently.......traced.

You can't trace a figure.

...yet.

 

[Bombless]

Wow, misread. NEVERMIND.

I..umm..what?

 

[FrostyCollects]

What I'm expecting to get from AmiAmi this month:

- Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Shimakaze Tsumujikaze no Shoujo Vol.1 Limited Edition w/Nendoroid Petite

- Nendoroid - Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Oi

- Nendoroid - Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Kitakami

- Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Shimakaze 1/8 Complete Figure

- Genkai Tokki Moero Chronicle Official Art Book

- Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- Shimakaze Chuuha Ver. 1/8 Complete Figure

- Dangan Ronpa The Animation - Kyoko Kirigiri 1/8 Complete Figure

- The Witch and the Hundred Knights - Swamp Witch Metallica 1/8 Complete Figure

- HORROR BISHOUJO - Freddy vs. Jason: Jason Vorhees 1/7 Complete Figure

Not going to be cheap but I wouldn't be surprised if there are multiple delays again. GSC is falling behind big-time this year (eg., Metallica was originally an April release).

 

[Baka Zeitgeist]

I'm thinking I'm going to put all those october orders together, but I've always been worried about being stung by customs on a bigger order. Anyone know how bad it is in the UK for big orders?

You pay 20% of the total price of your order including shipping cost in customs fees, and another £9.50-£12 for handling depending on the courier delivering the package.

The rest of my year is easy:

Oct: Dragon's Crown Tiki
Nov: Guyver Figma + Queen of the Dead PF
Dec: Saotome Maria

September however was worse:

3 scaled Japanese figures (Amazon/Rita/Sorceress)
2 1/6 scaled Chinese figures (Terminator/Spider-man)
1 1/4 scale American statue (Hellboy PF)
1 1/6 pre-order that had to be paid in full (Ned Stark)

Spoiler

and a partridge and a pear tree

Sadly have to pass on the Batgirl PF as she's gonna conflict with the Court of the Dead Death's Siren piece.

Spider-man should be here tomorrow...

 

[Einbroch]

I..umm..what?

Nevermind, I misread October as September so I posted about how your December was worse than your "October", but since it wasn't...

I'm dumb, just ignore.

 

[Tempy]

Figure preorders:

November
Nendoroid - Love Live: Yazawa Nico

EDIT: I guess I also have some Amiibo's coming in somewhere in November.
