No time, I need to start investigating pink paint.
Don't even act like that's the creepiest thing I've said.

The good news about getting a payment request from Mandarake is that the figures I ordered didn't sell out already.
The bad news is another payment.
Man, my October became a whole lot of more expensive than I thought it would be. :x

I got an Alter Estelle for 5k and a Megahouse Kagami for 3.5k.
Cheapest I ever seen them so I just had to go for it.
Chocolate Alleyne doesn't have pink nipples like the limited edition...
Huh, what color is it?
Me too! Only 16k this month. All I have in November are Psychic and Nendo Snake, and Psychic's probably getting delayed.
Pics?

I did OK. Bought about 25k worth of stuff including shipping but had a huge pile of cash back on my credit card from various house expenses over the summer so it didn't sting that much.

I would have been in the same boat if Sapce Dandy's release didn't get pushed back until November. For once in happy that one of my figs are being delayed.

Huh, didn't notice that Mandarake shipped my recent order in two boxes :x
$350-$550 each
Currently in bins. I may try to sell them on a lot or just give them away soon. They take up too much room and I no longer care about them anymore.
They're all still sealed so that helps. But I see them used for insane prices too. Hot Toys are really excellent at retaining their value. If I sold them for MSRP right now, they would be instantly sold no problem.
Their prices are less profitable with the newer ones because of the higher prices and they make more of them now. But I sold a lot of the early ones I never opened.
One of the most irritating things is people constantly asking for those brown shipper boxes. I can't believe collectors actually care about them.

Brown shippers are the best thing to keep the boxes protected, since they fit the figures box perfectly you can save a lot of storage space. Also a sealed shipper means less chance that you opened the figure and played with it and then closed it back up pretending it's mint.
Most people don't understand that the older figures didn't come with them, or that the shoe box type boxes don't get shippers unless they get them through Sideshow. I've even seen people bitching that Sideshow uses the brown shipper box as a shipping box, they want it packed out 'cause they want the brown shipper mint.
Congrats on the sales though, only old Hot Toy that ever tempted me to dip deeper into my pockets was Blade, but I never moved past feeling tempted...

I grown accustomed to trekking to the post office to pick up my packages these days.
Better than getting them at work, where I would then have to lug a giant box back home on public transit.

I think I might try that, though I just moved and dont actually know where my post office is. Time to google I guess.
Yea, I'm trying to trim down what series to keep so it's been a bit painful but I also need space. They take up so much space. The money I've been earning definitely makes it worth it. I forgot that most of the early HT figures were around $150-170 so it's been very profitable for me even with the ridiculous fees.
I agree about the brown boxes. But they are so dirty after their trips that I didn't want them in storage either. I tossed most of them a long time ago. But I've kept some for now altho not sure I will sell them.

Part of me is interested in Makoto and part of me is yelling at this other part of me since I still have three boxes of figures that were just shipped out last week. >_>
I guess the Muckle Mannequins Halo 2 statue. Very rare. One of the first high quality MC statues.

My WW Link Nendoroid came in from Ami-Ami! They actually tried to deliver it Saturday but work was closed; EMS shipping is no joke!

That title goes to my Riobot Gurren Lagann. I bought it used, but it's in perfect condition.
The only thing that could dethrone it is either Mysterious Bounty Hunter Yoko or the Soul of Chogokin GX-34 Gunbuster.
For non-anime figures, it goes to my limited edition Eddie Riggs statue. Came out in a very limited release from Double Fine.

I've still been mulling over this Shiro pre-order with the defects that have been reported. Ideally I could simply wait for Phat's instead, but I don't like Phat's current prototype pictures for her at all.
The hair sculpt is okay, but the face and pose are vastly inferior to Koto's, so at that rate I'd just go without. If I got a good one from the Koto batch (with no problems aside from the excessive top moulding which I don't really care about), it'd all be worth it. But something major regarding the paint would not be pleasant at all.

I will have one soon. I wish I could give you more info first hand but Ami hasn't sent my order out yet. May have it by next week if they ask for payment tomorrow.
