But just like a normal secret santa, 90% of participants will be unhappy with what they get!
I'd just send Kirito figurines. Everyone loves that handsome man.

So I think I might have a problem.
I was checking my order history last night to see when that 1/6 Raiden comes out, and when I clicked on the link to the fig items me to a blank page and said that I put in the wrong item code/page does not exist. So I searched up the figure itself and found that it's now changed to tentative preorder and has an entirely different item code.

Amiami didn't send me any emails or messages, but I'm afraid of losing my initial preorder.

All I know is someone would be getting a Mammon from me.

How did it feel on your wrist?
I have two figures I don't really want any more that I could use for Secret Santa: White Elephant Edition. 
No way. heh. My parents do not approve of the hobby. My siblings don't really care but also wouldn't know the first thing about buying figures. Extended family doesn't even know about them and usually just gifts some cash which works fine for me.

Yeah it seems really weird that there is no Judith, considering she's probably the most figure-ready character design in the cast... speargirls are awesome. I'm not a big fan of her default outfit but would probably get a figure of her if it had the emphasis on action pose (vs some kind of coy pose), especially now that I have Yuri and Rita ordered.

You could always put a bag over her head I suppose?

Two figures I want are up but I haven't moved on either. This is a good thing...
Something about that Yuki is holding me back. Really want that Inshun Hozoin figure but don't want to deal with those Alter delays. Also she has one of those silly stands to help hold her scarf up and I can't stand that thing on my Naoe figure

Do you have a monthly limit? If you do, then delays shouldn't matter, as money you save in one month will then be spent in another.

Trying to start that habit next year, part of the reason I am hesitant to order.
I'm not telling you to order something you don't need, but yeah, it's a pretty nice system. Set up a spreadsheet. Of course, I don't go "omg i hav 7k more now i can spend it!", it's only for things I really want.
Set up something like this:
Figure Budget
It's been going great since I started this for February and beyond. January is 17k, but that was the last month I realized I maybe had a problem. 11k surplus in case there's something I really, really want.

Not a bad idea. Thanks

The Yuri figures fine, the old photos are of the prototype, where they take the time to paint it well, and the newer pics are what they actually delivered, it's typical Megahouse quality. Just check MFC, no in-hand photo of the previous releases look just like the prototype.
That said don't buy her if your unsure, if your gonna budget yourself do it, you'll be better off...
Hmm, I'm thinking of selling off some of my lewder figures and figures that i already prepurchased but don't want anymore (Shiro falls in this category). For the people who sell their figures here, where do you do it? On eBay only, or is there another good place to sell figures at?
Send them all to me.
I don't do wishlists. I prefer to buy my own things (when people offer me videogames it's always a disaster haha) and presents usually are stuff that I wouldn't think of getting myself, which is better (like books etc).

Our Buy/Sell thread here and MFC have been my favorite (and only) options. Glad to see people being more wallet conscious (for now)!
On the Shiro note, I've lost my enthusiasm towards the figure as well. (Sad when recalling how much I fell head-over-heels before.) It's not just the QC thing either. It's just not holding the wait for me anymore. I have an older, very anticipated figure coming in (that I'm hoping is in decent condition), if it comes out well, I'm cancelling Shiro to balance out cost and total figure count accordingly.

I will look at MFC a bit more and make a more informed decision. Look at me....trying to be frugal in the figure thread.
What happened??
We have a buy/sell thread here? Also how successful have you been with your MFC selling?
Snkfanatic

Some people have posted stuff here to sell.
I have that set too! Did your Homura come with and extra pair of arms? :O
I have no idea what they're for..
I also preordered the new ones for ps4 and vita, but now amiami has an exclusive bonus version.
I'll have to ask amiami to cancel one of them so I can switch to the new ones. :/

Yep!
And I've been successful on MFC with the transactions I've done (while only a handful). Just take the usual safety/precaution measures with buyers/sellers and you won't get screwed. Only negative is that unless you're a Premium member, I believe, you can only post an additional ad every week or so. Which is why I'd primarily use GAF. I tend to avoid Ebay and Amazon to not have to deal with seller fees at all while getting money for figures I'd just like to sell.
If the figures are very lewd (for GAF), I suppose you can go by name alone plus face profile for those applicable.

Goes without saying you should list them here first. Also how dare you sell Shiro already!

You can buy the extra Shiros and save her!
I'm technically selling her before I even get her
I'm getting her in January along with 2 other figures I've already prepaid for and I'm immediately going to sell them off without taking them out of the box.Snkfanatic

You monster!
Why not just cancel her? Did you order from Crunchyroll?
Yeah, can you cancel stuff you already paid for on Crunchyroll?

Yep! Got my money back after a day or so. Just send them an email. I told them I found the item cheaper elsewhere.
MG Double X!
Man oh man. You guys don't know how long I've wanted this kit. So stoked for this. Double X is one of my all time favorite designs, but due to the show's lack of popularity it pretty much was getting zero kit love until recently. This and PG Unicorn, I honestly can't believe this.
Speaking of PG Unicorn, full display is finally out.
Beautiful kit. Glad I bought it. The more I see it, the more I love it. Going to be such a beauty in person.
We also got a few more kit announcements. I'm personally really excited for a RG 00 Raiser but I'm probably one of the few, at least in the West.

Yay for Double X! Have preorders gone up yet?
I am still debating if I want to try to import that add-on kit for PG Unicorn.

Cancellations? Why is everyone cancelling their stuffs?!?!
I checked AmiAmi and HLJ and it seems no preorders yet. They've just been announced, don't think Bandai's solicited them yet. He's a March release, so I suspect we'll get preorders real soon. Almost certainly by early December.
As for the FA kit, I don't really have any interest in it personally. I love the Full Armor design, but at the PG size, it's almost too much. It kind of distracts from how good the base PG design is. I could envision an amazing diorama display were engineers are putting the FA parts on the Unicorn in the maintenance bay before launch. Some amazing stuff could come out of a design like that.
Same here. Stoked as hell for this one (and RE/100 Dijeh).
