My usual Pokecen contact is selling it for $70 pre-shipping, payment upfront. =/ Probably cheaper to go through BiJ or even another proxy, though I understand why she's charging so much since she's doing pre-orders in person.

*I should have just waited for the next page. In any case I'll post it here again since I know a few of you are interested in this. Let me know if it's frowned upon to quote yourself again on the next page and I'll edit this out.*

It's up on Amazon.co.jp. I've got my order in. 4860¥. Link

They don't ship to the U.S. right?

Love LIve! nedoroids!

remember me
There was a 1/8 scale Ultimate Madoka there as well, but it was $260 and someone got it before I did. Would it have been worth it guys?

That's like double her MSRP when it was selling for half for months. Even full retail + ridiculous EMS shipping costs would have been less than that.

You can use a proxy. Basically they buy it on your behalf in Japan and ship it to you. Of course you'll have to pay domestic delivery (Amazon to FromJapan HQ) unless Amazon do free delivery in Japan, and then international delivery plus commission which is like 200 yen and 5% system fees here and there.

Look into it. Usually it's not as bad as you'd think, plus you can mark the package to whatever you want to avoid import duty etc. FromJapan are great in my experience :) Have a look but do your research and ask me if you have any questions. I'm going to sleep now tho so see ya!

This is why you don't preorder anymore, guys.

Those are pretty great prices. I passed on both of those, and I'm down to pre-ordering only the stuff I absolutely 100% want. Some things aren't worth chancing sellouts. But it seems a lot of MH pieces end up with pretty deep discounts.

Kirito figma open Box: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1392352.html
12000 Yen

GSC Shinobu open box: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-860885.html

Or let's talk about Momohime?

This is why you pre-order, guys.

If it's something you really want, and feel like you can't live without, you'd be smart to pre-order. However, if it's something you only kind of like or don't feel like missing out on it will be a big deal, then roll the dice and play the bargain bin game. Sometimes you win. But sometimes you lose, hard.

I remember when I almost canceled my Aoba preorder. Would have regretted it so, so hard.

And she is MY cutie now. That makes two of the Yamato girls at a crazy low price :D

I am late to the MFC friending orgy, but here's mine. It's not up to date though, will fix it once I return on Monday (in case I grab more stuff before then hehehe)

http://myfigurecollection.net/profile/Bombless

I checked the price on Iris on Amazon, and I think I got a good deal at 95£. She's around 245 on Amazon.uk and no longer showing up on Amazon.fr

Today I'm debating whether I should go ahead and grab Kaito, Rin and Len nendos from GSC. I have Meiko akd Miku reissues ordered and whule 35£ isn't a good price, getting them from Japan would probably end up around the same due to the shipping/tax.

Plus for some reason the vendors at the GSC booth are french hehe. Had a great chat with them since Umibozu is a well known character in France.

Thats fine. If I want her Ill buy her on Ebay. Shes probably not expensive. Yamato isnt that popular.

I almost bought an Aoba once when N-Y had him for $120. Was so close to pulling the trigger. Now regret. So hard.

homura is already sold out in one day from NY, BiJ and MBT. lol...

Already 200+ orders on MFC alone in one day. holy shit

This is bad, it's only going to encourage figure makers to set prices even higher because now they know they can get away with it. I think a lot of people only think about what they want, and have no real appreciation for how far their money could go if spent elsewhere.
 
Hahah, for funsies, people should post the top 5 tags in their collections on myfigurecollection.com.

Lol im the only one with flat chest figures.

12. flat_chest (22)

Most of those are probably Madoka and Sakura, though.

Edit: Actually not even. Someone tagged the Popura (Working!!) nendoroid as flat-chested?? And they tagged Alter's Red Riding Hood but not their Alice? So inconsistent, lol.
