Ah. Thanks a bunch.
I'm still not used to having to wait weeks for things to be delivered, so part of me was getting paranoid.

Did they not send you the email with the shipping estimate yet?
Yeah I'm paid up and everything. Paid on Monday.

They shipped my order a day or two after I sent them my acceptance email.
I'm thinking it's one of those issues where the item was listed in stock when it actually wasn't. Fuck.

I thought that only happened with Mandarake. They wouldn't have even emailed you an estimate if they didn't have it in-hand.
My experience with HLJ has made me paranoid lol.
I had a purchase last month where I waited around a week and didn't hear anything about shipping... I emailed them and they said they had an influx of orders and would be shipping soon. Went out a couple days later. So they could be busy....

Hmmmmm I should really buy Amiibos from Japan unless they're region locked X'D, I mean 1,100JPY that's like £6.36 in comparison to the £10 we are getting priced at XD

Pfft! £10 are nothing, we have to pay 15 for the amiibos! That's ¥2048 and $6 more than americans have to pay. Why is it always so costly in Germany?
Is that a dollfie dream Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee??!
Oh man
Oh man
I think I'm having a heart attack... :O
Dolfies have always been too far out of my price range and time taken to care for them range for me to ever buy one, but damn if I had money I'd buy Ranka.

Awesome!
Nice, that's such a pretty figure.
Also, LOL at those Link/Armin pics with Sorceress.
Also, just got back from post office with my package!
Back to unboxing!
My very first figure. Aaaahhh...I had no idea what I was getting into.
I regret nothing.
Picture time!
She's so cute. Glad I listened to cajun and picked her up.
Olivia and Millhiore are both 1/8th scales but look at how much size difference there is lol (Revoltech on the left for additional scale comparison).
The face on this saber isn't the best (like compared to some of the other saber figures), but man they look so good standing together. Frankly, on her own, this Saber figure isn't that great, but as a pair I really like how they look, and the Kiritsugu really nails it.
Until I get some more display case shelf space, I guess these two can guard my video game shelf!
Last but not least, bestgirl from PMMM checking in. Spear is 13 inches end-to-end(!) and unfortunately since it is 3 parts that stick together, it isn't perfectly straight (one joint is around where her right hand holds it). However, you can't really tell from a distance (the way it bends slightly is "toward" her facing due to her hair). I wasn't quite as excited about this fig (as discussed before) but seeing her in person now I'm glad I picked it up; it's a really good quality figure (as expected from GSC) and the pose (despite not being what I was hoping to see for a Kyoko scale) looks pretty cool from any direction.

What a qtpie.
The only true figure I have is my Hatsune Miku Figma 100. I desire more, but my wallet isn't very open minded. By that I mean there's not much there. What are the best ways to expand on the cheap while not hitting terrible low points in quality?

Awesome pickups Omlet.
Have you heard of the wonderful world of the Nendoroid?
You can get some older ones for less than $20.

Pink packing paper from AmiAmi is different.
Edit:
and then both figure boxes are purple: 1/4 Akeno from HS DxD and Excellent Model Sorceress.

New elin coming from a new company. Looking at the logo they must be related to Alter somehow.
Takashi Mikami is listed as the president on both sites.
This figure is really nice and not overly lewd.
I'm still kinda waiting to see an Archer Elin since that's what I played, but maybe if the price is right (hah).

I need help with Sorceress. What's the best way of getting the staff on her hand without breaking the fingers/thumb?

They look good! Also lol @ those back dancers.
Got some Billy bookcases a while ago. Added lights, glass doors, risers. Still in the process of filling them up. Tempted to add more lights.
To quote cajunator: "Squeeeeeeeeee...!!" That fucking adorable ass army.
You've been holding back on us all this time!

Very nice!
Where did you get the lights and risers from? Brand? Cost? I'd like to do the same for my Nendos.
