I wouldn't buy it but I thought the Ryuko was nice looking. They are mostly generic. the Saber one annoys me snice it seems like they increased her bust size.

this post totally nails it
I almost got Tomoe Mami first Beach Queen, then I saw a few pics from users in MFC and was kinda turned down, not as much for the boring, but for the quality weird looking at some parts & her butt :x and by that time it was like 60dlls everywhere, nope

Nah the hands and legs are my least favourite parts of nendos. So fiddly.

after posting that Holo a bit ago I've been staring at her search results on Amiami...I really want to get a Holo now, but damn at some of those prices.
Probably a really stupid question to a Nendo Lover Extraordinaire like yourself, but you are twisting them at the top, right?
I more meant the hoarders, not the people who buy the occasional one. I also think the Ryuko one looks nice. The Saber one is my favorite, bust size increase and all.

I like petite nendos well enough, but I prefer the regular ones. And I'm not saying I won't get Kaga...just have to make sure it will work.
Sure. Nothing wrong with them, for the most part. I think they've gone up in price a bit recently, which is a shame, but they're not horrible quality or anything. I just think that swimsuit figures are boresville.

I would generally agree but how can you resist this.
amishpriest99

Eh, maybe. I've ordered a few in the past, honestly but then ended up cancelling. Not really my thing I guess.
No Kaga?
I mean just look at this
Just went to change her pose on mine before coming here to see that.
She sooooo good.

Zelda & Samus beach queen would be something that I would seriously think in getting P:
Anyone considering getting Kaga or Akagi without the other is really doing it wrong. You're also doing yourself a disservice because once you get one you'll decide you need the other and will just have to pay more shipping for your inevitable second purchase.

Okay, you all broke me (I'm weak). Ordered Kaga from HLJ.
I guess I don't find the swimsuits boring...then again I don't own any figures that have them.
Funnily enough I was thinking about Kay from GuP, but then I realized there's a premium polystone line? How is that?
Probably, also definitely a Peach.
Alice nendo was announced at Wonfes.
Also I bumped the Kancolle game thread until we get a community thread

See I am only going to get Kaga to make the current squad on the show. I wouldn't display her with Akagi even if I got both.

Ya I do, they just seem odd to move around sometimes.
Ah ya the arms can be a pain too.

Soon as I opened mine I knew I had to display her like this lol

You understimate my love for fluffy hair and hats I guess.Easily.
Cute is cute, but boring cute is just wasted potential.
OK you win. This reminds me of the Ninchijou nendos. I was skipping buying them for some time because I could never quite find them both. Now they go for at least 11k each I think.
Amazon has both for the same price but with cheaper shipping and allows cancellations.
Theonik

HLJ also allows automatic cancellations now. Also Private warehouse yooooo 1.3k yen shipping for both!

Been seriously considering switching to Amazon at some point. I have yet to pull the trigger on a order from there though.

1.3k combined SAL. I have saved about 6+k yen on shipping this year I reckon with HLJ's shipping.
God this is cute. I really need to avoid watching Kancolle at all costs.

So I got my small-ish Amiami January order today....
With the Yellow Sticker of Doom
I could have avoided customs if I had shipped separately I think. Grouping was a poor decision in that case. Oh well.
SD Convoy/Optimus look like it will be a lot of fun and easy to build, glad I preordered Megatron to go with him. I'll put Starscream on my MFC wishlist, too
The unfortunate thing with Amazon is their selection is awful for international users. They have like 15-20 Nendos available at any moment, and only like half that are for preorder are able to be shipped internationally.

Ah ok...maybe stick to artbooks with them at least. I am getting tired of paying for the crazy shipping from Ami with them.
Had her like that before now changing her to this pose:
Course that bow pose kicks ass and will probably go back to that one eventually.

Best part about the KanColle Nendos? Beside the adorableness of course, all the extra Furniture they come with :3
Oh, that's comparable to AmiAmi then.

Yeah, that's all why I'm more often going with them.

Because Akagi isn't in the same fleet anymore. Anyways so far on the show Akagi's personality has been Kind of boring.

Two sunk, impressive work Admiral omlet.
Props for that Alteisen. That's my favorite mecha design, maybe ever.

But with private warehouse you can go even crazier in combined shipping! Prices are pretty comparable usually I find.
I'm a little confused. Private Warehouse seems like they're hold orders for 60 days so you can ship them out any way you want. Like AmiAmi's combined monthly shipping, only with a greater deal of flexibility. So you can split orders into smaller, SAL orders or combine them in such a way that you can avoid EMS. But you can technically do that on AmiAmi if you email them. Private Warehouse sounds great, but Nendos are like 20% cheaper on AmiAmi, so that's worth the hassle of sending them an email, imo.
AmiAmi's is technically a thirty day hold at most, so 60 is great, yeah. Cancellation thing, sure. Duh, that's awesome. But I don't preorder things I can't afford. SELF CONTROL, PEOPLE.

Did nendo akagi and kaga go back up on amiami?
what bad timing.

Normally I do as well, but I've had a couple of "shit happens" moments over the years that makes that flexibility worthwhile.
Thanks ! There are a lot of designs I like in OG, but Alteisen is in my top 3, easily.

That and often pre-orders end or things go out of stock before I am able to determine by budget for a month. Especially with things popping up all the time.
It's nice to be able to secure an order then decide your priorities later.
amishpriest99
Member
Yep...I've got a lot of life stuff going on so budgeting is tricky business certainly for the rest of this year, probably next year too. The more flexibility I have, the better.
Pupupupupupupupu!
Am I gonna have to torpedo you, too?
That's what tipped the scales for me getting Kaga, Akagi, and the Kongou sisters.
Razgriz-Specter

Not Nendo but I didn't even consider Kaga until I had Figma Akagi in my hand,
Now I really feel that she needs her sister.
Sadly I have to wait as I haven't seen Kaga for a decent price, amiami had a preowned for $80 is the cheapest I have seen.
