looks like we all got nailed early.

Probably a lot of it was delayed December orders lol.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Good gracious lol

January seems crazy for many. Mine was going to be but not anymore.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

It took Midtown comics 5 days to process my order for that Batgirl fig.

AmiAmi never took that long these silly gaijins.

 

[cajunator]

I have this completionist problem where if I see a must have figure that is part of a line of must have figures...well you see what just happened there. It happened three times already with K-on, and once with Madoka figures. I shudder to think of the future.

I did that with the original play-arts for advent children. Those were only $25 a piece though

I'm being a completionist with the Girls und panzer figmas, and trying to resist getting all the K'On Alter figures. Too much money.

 

[omlet]

Woke up to my payment request for my January Amiami order.

the EMS... it burns... it burns usssss preciousssssss... I probably should have split it for two SAL packages but oh well.

And if we're talking totals for the month...counting shipping costs...let's see here...

A little over 50k. And this was after starting the month with only 7k worth of nendos ordered.

._.

I'm emailing Rightstuf tonight to cancel my pre-order for Devil Homura. I need to let go of a few things, and she'll save me $270 or so.

Noooo

Well, with the additional price you pay in CAD vs USD right now, I can kind of understand. Here's hoping you can find her later when your wallet is a little more prepared.

I'm way too late to the party for Elin, aren't I? Please tell my wallet I'm too late.

Spoiler

But tell me I'm not

Preorders closed at amiami and HLJ earlier this week, actually. Profound sadness.

 

[R_thanatos]

Good gracious lol

Seriously . I'm safe , i have nothing for this month but still

 

[cajunator]

I have....well...a lot this month.
But two of them already shipped out so at least it aint all at once!

 

[Meyneth]

How are you guys changing your money (from CAD to US)? I've only seen an increase in $10-15 when I exchange my money

 

[The Omega Man]

So bought. Glad I didn't jump on the spazer-less one

Edit : ... and pre-ordered !!!

Where did you pre-order it from? I can't find it on Amimi, I am going to get just the Spazer since I already have Grendizer.

 

[kewlmyc]

My January was awful at first but two of the bigger items got delayed so it's not so bad now compared to before. Still around $400 though.

Ya mine dropped to around 350.

It was a blessing in disguise. I could have added another 10k to my order in preowned figs had it not already shipped. Now I'm waiting until April or so before I have another order I can add to.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

So I went to order a CD on Amazon Japan, then end up ordering a Tharja to go with it.

It's a Tamashii limited thing, so I got it from N-Y. It's up on Bij too but a bit more expensive...

[amishpriest99]

Why would you want to pay money for a free to play game? Just buy merchandise instead

I like my physical copies! So I'm a little irrational...

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Wow I didnt know Cardfight!! Vanguard would be getting figures. If they are really going to do femFigures, wheres our Oracle Think Tank cards, Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi deserves one. The deck clan is even proven good at tourneys.

Also one of my favorites deserves a figure Salvation Lion, Grande Ezel Scissors.

So I am the only one who didnt buy one.

 

[amishpriest99]

January:

AmiAmi: 36k + shipping
Wo-Class: 9.8k total
Miku: 7k + shipping
A bunch of petites: 11.2k total
Everything else: 8.8k total

Month total: 72.8k + probably 10k in shipping = ~82k

Not Chrono level, but close.

No way I can do orders like this anymore ;_;.

 

[cajunator]

you live in an extremely expensive area. I cant believe how much COL is over there.

 

[Busaiku]

I wasn't gonna get that Chrom before, but I'll probably get it now.

 

[amishpriest99]

Yep, COL is such that even when my gf and I move we still won't have a ton of space. I've got to be a LOT more selective with what I get for both cost and space reasons.

I ordered the last one off hlj. You're out of luck.

Hey Zeus Chris Toe. 128k.

Shiro came in, looks good. a little smear on the lower bottom of her leg, but good otherwise. Spend a good 10 min trying to remove those legs, afraid I'd break something. Damn plastic.

Thanks! pre-odered from nippon-yasan, oh man I waited almost 2 years for this Spazer!! you are going to love that Grendizer, it's very well made, the head on the new one looks slightly different, maybe they improved the design or maybe it's just in the picture that looks like it.

We have to do something about July and October, that doesn't look right!

Holy molly that February

Can we see what is included?

 

[Arkadios]

You guys must shit cash, sreiously.

 

[Einbroch]

Christmas shopping is over + bonus checks = ...ohgodimpooragain

 

[Maintenance]

My january suddenly got up to 16k and I freaked out, since my soft cap was 9k. It is still inside my hard cap so I can manage it, but goddamn I need to stop visiting the pre-owned section of AmiAmi.

 

[Ultimadrago]

January: 16k

Too damn much.

Spoiler

Can't wait for Chamu Chamu~ <3

 

[Jupiter]

So, I ordered two figures from Mandarake, cost was 11,000yen and DHL shipping is 17,000 yen to Texas. That's a bit high for shipping isn't it? Would EMS be cheaper?

 

[Wanderer5]

Kaga remains my only figure that I obtained this month.

 

[cajunator]

You guys must shit cash, sreiously.

not really but a raise and a bonus check does wonders.
Still need to keep it under control though.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I ordered the last one off hlj. You're out of luck.

Fufufufufu

You're so mean. I would have ordered her, but that base looks questionable. Plus we don't even know what a finished Flare piece looks like.

 

[Professor Renegade]

Wonfes is coming up soon. So I will probably wait until Wonfes before I start pre-ordering again. I still have plenty of time to think about that Native Tony figure.

Of course Alisha is exception. But she is still not showing up again....

Finger crossed for Riobot Lazengann showing up at Wonfes.

CC: Chrono...does he have a Vita XD?

1/8 Scale at N-Y for

Spoiler

38,000

JPY

I will save up to buy that. I don't care if it's N-Y, I have a mighty need for that Kamina.

 

[johnsmith]

Fufufufufu

Yeah but seeing how the first one is going for 20k now I couldn't risk it.

Only Snake Nendo and Yuki Mori for me this month. Will probably hurt with shipping though.

 

[omlet]

EMS would have been cheaper...probably.

Holy crap 17k for shipping for two figures... what did you order, figures made out of lead?! Two Ultimate Madoka-sized gargantuaboxes?

I always use SAL registered from mandarake when I can. For a 7k scale figure I ordered this month that was heavy (for a PVC scale) it was only 2k for shipping. The EMS quote was 3600 and DHL was 4400. I'm also in Texas.

 

[dakkumauji]

Yisss

Yessssssss, Chrom will be mine.

Now hurry up and show off Ieyasu.

Nah Chara-Forme, so like Nendo but without the accessories(?)

Spoiler

then again most accessories the character they've made are their weapons so ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

They are also not poseable like Nendos. And their base is probably too big for them. It was also a bitch to put in and keep in place Mitsunari's sword.

The box is pretty jazzy though.

I had like, three things get delayed. XD
