Definitely going to pick up Yoshino. Know nothing about Date A Live but she's too cute.

Not sure of the orders, but there is a 2nd wave of Simpson's coming out at some point. Current series is a regular series with characters like guy in hotdog suit. In the fall a monster theme series is coming.

I got hot dog guy, samurai girl, and the unicorn. All awesome.

*phew* gone for a month and there's already 80 pages. my January order finally came in last week, SAL took a lot longer than usual. Raiden looks incredible, will be posting pics soon.

The hell did you say that got you banned for a month?

Figure Hobby Club visits threezero, and show off some upcoming stuff, notable are:

Jon Snow from Game of Thrones
Rick Grimes and teddy bear zombie girl from The Walking Dead
TMNT figures from the new movie... (not notable, but in the pictures)

Due to half naked zombie girl I'm not posting pics directly...

So I need some nendo advice.

I'm moving pretty soon, I have a lot of nendos that are going to need some shelving space, and it occurs to me that just going DETOLF like many fig-gaf posters before me isn't going to cut it for what I want to do; basically I want each shelf to be a set piece of some sort using nendos.

By set piece, I mean stuff like this that you see on MFC all the time:


So I need something that doesn't waste headroom wrt displaying nendoroid sets, has some clear doors so I don't have to worry about dust, and isn't too difficult to install lighting in.

Anyone gone down this route before? Suggestions or pictures you could possibly share with me?

EDIT: a friend showed me something like this, IKEA's Besta with added doors and lighting, so far this is in the ballpark if I could cut the headroom down further:

Yeah, a bookcase like the IKEA Besta or Billy would be the way to go.

Currently building a diorama myself, but progress is slow.

Those GoT figures look good. I might cave in if they do the Hound, I like that guy's kawai face.

It's cute that how people think they can limit themselves when they first start collecting.

Lol my cousin was the same way until I introduced him to amiami. Started at one, now slowly amassing an army. I'm sure my aunt and uncle hate me....

Welcome back, didn't bother checking GAF whilst banned?

Nah, it would have just made me impatient. Besides, it gave me some time to get some schoolwork done.

The hell did you say that got you banned for a month?

:x

I said I wasn't interested in nendos at first. Now I have two, three more ordered, and a few I know I'll be buying in the future.

 

[Ohmygoditsjrod]

So I went ahead and ordered Jubilee. I was going to wait on it but found her for below retail and pulled the trigger. Feel like something has come full circle since her reveal at I think Comic con last year is what pulled me over to figureGAF.

Now to hide my wallet unless I find the elusive Ryuko Figma.

 

[LiK]

Ugh, Preparation STILL in progress. Fuck N-Y

 

[Freezasaurus]

I still can't believe that time I ordered the Wo-Class Dekacchu and I got a shipping notification 30 minutes after I paid. N-Y was on the ball that day.

Ryuko figma for $53.99

I bought one from them and it came in perfect condition, super well packed. Shipping was pretty cheap too. I know it's more expensive than getting it on Manda/Ami but hey, you can actually get one now instead of waiting

 

[Snkfanatic]

I can see avatars again! Well most of them.

i think it's cuz my P4 figures are probably in another location. this seems to happen with their older stock. their new stuff can be shipped out in less than a day. so hit and miss with them.

Yooo thanks! I really wasn't looking forward to spending $70 plus. I missed one last night for 3900 that dissappeared super fast. She was in my cart but I was too slow. I'll probably pull the trigger on this.

Edit: went ahead and ordered it. Funny how $10 can make all the difference. Place is also in the Bay Area so hopefully it doesn't take that long to get to me.

Now my wallet can hide until Lucina releases.

Thanks Acid.

No problem man! I was super excited when I got mine, she's awesome!

And dude, are you in the Bay Area too? I'm in the East Bay and it only took a couple days for the package to get to me.

Nope. Still Ca though. Southern San Joaquin Valley so not that far

So my Amiami order just hit Chicago yesterday.
Wonder how long it will take to clear customs.

A day tops. Chicago always goes through customs pretty quickly.

Amakuni Sansei out of customs

 

[cajunator]

Dat LFA.

Dat Redbull X2010.

the LFA is the biggest fail design for a supercar ever but the Redbull GT thing is pretty slick.

Kurumi just entered customs and bunnygirl Laura just cleared them in Chicago so both will be arriving by the time I am off work on Thursday!

Its kind of funny how much my Dad seems to loathe that I buy all this stuff, yet he will drop a couple thousand on a gun or several on a thermal imaging camera for hunting. I should just ship everything to my rent house probably if he's gonna complain about it.

At least it is better than what Lexus is putting out at the moment. The price was insane and they lost money on every sale, but I liked it.

Amakuni Sansei out of customs

Hope your as happy with her as I am. Still wanna know if Nippon-Yasan will be getting body replacement/extra boobs/whatethefuckever amakuni has been promising buyers of the figure...

-----------------------

Got around to opening Link:

I see why you guys can have nendo's just sitting around unopened now. This arm goes in, that arm falls out, put sword in hand, shield falls off. Getting a nendo together is an unending comedy of errors, pretty much like a figma, and I got like 7 more on the way...

its slightly better but Lexus styling in general is some of the worst in the industry. Its a complete mess of shapes and cuts that have no direction. Just...ugh.

 

[BGBW]

The only tricky part I found with Link was his sword swish part. Mostly because no matter how I positioned it it never looked right.

 

[Settin]

24 figures deep and I have none I regret. It'd be nice to get the alternate body but I'm displaying her cast-off above eye level so I'll never see the peg holes.

First nendos are the hardest to set up

Spoiler

, especially if they're shipgirls like Kongou

. Once you get used to it and know how much pressure to apply, what to watch for, etc., they get easier to set up...at least a little.

old man yells at cloud. Hobbies are hobbies. They're all a waste of money and mental energy if you want to get super reductive about it. It's your money do what you want.

 

[Einbroch]

The only issue I still have with Nendos is putting the peg into the back of the Nendo and into the stand. It's usually either too loose or too tight.

Beats when Nendos didn't even had that and you had to wedge the stand from under them.

My parents dislike this hobby because they see it as a girlfriend repellant and therefore an impediment to grandkids.

They may be right in a way but I don't really care

Well, Nendos are a choking hazard, so you can tell him Nendos can kill people too.

Life is a waste if you want to get super reductive about it. Most of our time is spent being unborn or dead.

That's all my parents care about. My GF and I can't stand kids and don't plan on having any. That makes my mom rage so hard. Good thing my brother and sister in law are spitting them out.

My family doesn't give a shit, they're just happy I have a job. Then again, I help pay their bills so maybe that's why. They occasionally come to play "guess which figures are the new ones" once I get a new batch of figures in.

My mom does joke saying that the figures I buy are her grandchildren.

Going by your MFC page....that's a lot of grandkids.

My family only cares that I put away my figures when they visit. Not an unreasonable request.

Hell no man I am sticking with my nissan.

I did appreciate her for forcing me to buy a house though,

Not sure if better but my mom calls Nendo Batman her "cheri" (sweetheart) and she hasn't even received the box yet.

I'm also a bit uneasy atm, I just dropped 3 big Amiami boxes filled with figures at the new place and mom is sleeping there. There's nendos in those boxes. Just to be sure I taped them to know whether she tampered with them.

 

[BGBW]

My mum collects happy meal toys so if anything she's to blame for getting me into collecting displayables.

My dad is basically a fan of space, but, since my mother is a jumble sale addict, her brining things into the house regularly vs me receiving one figurine every few months basically means he doesn't see them as a problem. In fact he finds them interesting.
