I'm a little surprised at how quickly DHL delivers stuff. Had a package picked up from Japan on Saturday and they already tried to deliver it today.

Sure, no one was home (cause who expects to get an international package in two days) and I imagine trying to actually get it now will probably be completely terrible...

 

[Busaiku]

Yeah, DHL >>> EMS.
The prices aren't even unreasonable.

DHL is a mixed bag for me. Their tracking kinda sucks and condition of package is suspect.

I've only had one experience with DHL and that was importing a textbook but I agree that their tracking really sucks

 

[Giolon]

Alright, so now I'm gonna give you a rundown on flash, with particular focus on your camera. The a5000 is an excellent choice to start off with, but flash in particular is one of its sore weak points (sorry lol), but this can be *mostly* overcome with some McGuyvering.
<snip>

And that's flash, which is stuff I wish I had known before, rather than just writing flash off as some useless picture bleach. Hope this helps!

This is a fantastic post for anyone wanting to take photos of their figures. It's a shame it got passed over in the froth.

And now, prize figure Satsuki showed up today! Quick arrangement w/ Ryuuko:

These things are really nice for ~$20. Hair seams are the worst part, but I don't expect perfection from such a low price.

 

[dakkumauji]

Yeah, the price to ship this with DHL was like 2ksomething.

EMS was 5k, lol

I'll admit, I rather like using SAL/EMS since they'll hold it at the local post office instead of in some warehouse halfway across town.

 

[cajunator]

I found this one cute, so I searched for it. Just watched the video / meme, and I'm still laughing.

Chloe Lemaire desu yo <3

Also my Sawa is delayed

Buuut that makes December slightly less deadly!

 

[Meyneth]

Thanks lots for the tips, I'll go take a look at Navito to see what they have.
I'm not a figure "hunter", so I may just find something I like from older collections and maybe for a decent price, you never know!

I'm curious to attend Anime North next year.
I think the other big one is AnimeExtreme, but the prices on the site seemed a bit high, maybe it's just because I'm not well informed though.

I understand that for what one really wants, the safe bet is pre-ordering.

The only figure hunting I do is for older figures I missed before getting into the game. I'm pretty much caught up now though, unless I see a nendo that's super cute. xP

A lot of the big stores from downtown Toronto have booths in the dealers room for anime north. So it might be a good place to check out whose selection interests you.
Have you been to any conventions in the Toronto area?

Hi FigureGAF, I stealth enabled a friend of mine today with an Aoko Aozaki nendo, and he sent me a gallery of what he's been doing with it.

(click for the full gallery)


Also I may or may not have been involved in omlet's purchase explosion last week.

 

[kewlmyc]

Yeah, DHL >>> EMS.
The prices aren't even unreasonable.

I tried it once and it was about a week slower than EMS for me.

GAF is now experiencing what it is like when a figurine you want goes out of stock thanks to Amiibos. Nice of Nintendo to introduce a wider audience to the pains of figurine collecting. They'll soon learn that figurines are something you buy on release, but rather months in advance.

This. I'm just shaking my head in that thread. They're literally like every other figure. You pre-order it, you'll get it. You wait, you're gambling.

I actually facepalmed into my desk reading that thread.

Funny how for scales, that's becoming less and less of the truth.

GSC release date for this month and Phat delays:

I guess it was too much for me to hope that Satsuki wouldn't be delayed ;_;

AnimeExtreme, that's the one I was thinking of. Anime North is amazing by the way, tickets go on sale January 2nd and they have an attenedance cap, so get yours as soon as you can.

Hold up, Satsuki is already out?! Brb, browsing through Mandarake.

Of course if Amiibos didn't have such terrible quality control, I'm sure preordering them wouldn't be such a risky action.

 

[Professor Renegade]

Holy shitballs. I didn't think they would have it, but I just found that Satsuki prize figure on Mandarake. Words can't describe how fast I clicked that order button.

They really are nice! Reminds me of my Banpresto Code Geass C.C. prize figure. I didn't know it was a prize item when I bought it, and some assembly required, but quite nice for around $20!

 

[Freezasaurus]

I'm getting the exposed buttcheeks Satsuki that GSC is putting out.

How much was she?

 

[Professor Renegade]

How much was she?

2,200 JPY, a little bit over the regular price, but I'm fine with that.

 

[Einbroch]

2,200 JPY, a little bit over the regular price, but I'm fine with that.

So, about 11 of your "finest english pounds"?

 

[Professor Renegade]

More like 20 Canadian dollars breh.

 

[Einbroch]

Oh, darn. Someone posted about that figure on 4chan the same time you did.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

Yeah, but Kaitendo as the manufacturer. :/

So they are no bueno? Their Rias Gremory Pole Dance didn't come out bad.

I kinda want to order this:

How is WING?

How is WING?

Fine. I have their Prison School Meiko (Uniform ver.) No complaints. I think they're another of the companies under the GSC umbrella.

WING did the Rockin' Jellybean Devil's Cheerleader, so I say WING is awesome enough I'd easily buy anything they made that caught my eye with no worries..




Ok, after this post I'll be done spamming you guys with Bond, got my matt varnish, and to me it makes all the difference:

Without flash, just detolf lighting:

ugh didn't want to but knew I needed the Zelda, FE and Metroid characters eventually.

 

[Professor Renegade]

Oh, darn. Someone posted about that figure on 4chan the same time you did.

Haha, glad I was able to order it before that guy did.

 

[Giolon]

where did u get them for 20?

I ordered them from Big In Japan. They were about $20 each plus shipping of course.

 

[Bombless]

Great work on that Connery Bond ZG! The result looks terrific.

Also OHMYGOD that Chloe nendo. Why does it exist, whyyyyyy!

I wouldn't recommend that if you're in the US.

I just added a nendo to my order of some unrelated stuff on amazon to get free shipping.

Help.

Hahaha, tell me about it.

I'm failing to see a problem. You get free shipping and a Nendo.

Only a problem if he's black.

 

[yami4ct]

I've imported gun-like figures into the US before. You'll probably be fine. There is a little risk of customs taking it, but I've never had nor heard of that happening.

Of course, taking that out in public and wielding it is a bad idea, but I think we all know that.

I just got notice from AmiAmi that Phat's Satsuki is delayed to January.

The struggle is real.
