So I haven't watch Drarara yet. Am I looking at a spoiler here?

Nah. Celty is a Dullahan.
They're apparently sending notifications to retailers to stop selling their products internationally, and it's one of the reasons why Leviathan was taken down from AmiAmi. At least, that's what I gather.
Just added iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls G4U vol4/5 and Kantai Colletion Kai's Limited edition to my preorders.
My total amount I'm spending between now and the end of the year is now: £1,411.00
I have 700 of my own money and my Mum agreed until I got myself a job and stuff that she'd lend me money to pay off things, but I'm going to owe her quite a bit of money the way this is going. I should stop ordering things, but I think I have an addiction or compulsion. I can't miss out on G4U vol4/5 as I've ordered all the others and Kancolle is Kancolle. dat ktkm and ooi.

I think it's only the sins. Look up orchid seed pre orders on ami
Hm, hopefully you're right. It does suck for people collecting the Sins, though.
Leviathan will be my first.

No 5 year K-On Anniversary set either ?
I canceled Azusa today. I can't justify spending nearly $500 for another set of K-On figures....heck more like $600 when all is said in done with shipping.

Wow.
The rumor is it's only going forward and that they're putting in motion plans to stop international orders. Apparently, and this is all internet rumor poop, is that Orchid Seed has wanted to stop the west from buying their products for a while, but the profits were worth the effort.
International policy may be changing and that cost may not be worth it. Seized customs lead to angry customers, etc. Perhaps their Japanese market has expanded and now they feel like they don't need the west. Licensing issues for original characters may exist. Maybe that loli figure was the one that broke the camel's back. Maybe they hate whities and blackies. Who knows the reason. But where there's smoke, there's fire.

Stay Dead.
Kinda sucks though.. I was actually considering Easter Bunny Mammon, oh well.
Senran EV cuties made it through customs without getting charged!
My theory still stands ᕙ( * ̀ ᗜ ́ * )ᕗ
Help.
Although the funny thing is if I could actually get a full time bottom level job in Networking/IT I'd make nearly that in a month loll.
Just every job I've found cites you either need to be a graduate (I graduate next year) or have experience. Thankfully according to a recruiitment manager I know just citing what I've been doing networking/computing wise for past 10 or so years is enough experience so I just need to slap it on my CV.

It was an exclusive. So you would always need a proxy or ny/bij
Also, os if i recall had English instructions in their figures.
The "smoke" is probably the delaying of Satan and levi. But nothing else of os was taken down. Hell, they just put a preorder figure like a week and half ago

Nice. Good luck, admiral, hopefully you'll get a fine job and this will be just water under the bridge.

So this has nothing to with figures but know Kancolle is loved in here. This was pulled from the Senran Kagura thread. Using accesories and costumes someone made these.
Had forgotten to pay for the March order. The email had been sitting in my inbox for 5 days. It got shipped an hour ago.
Also I re-checked the GSC email about Sakura Miku, they only took the payment, it wasn't shipped yet (which makes more sense).
Now to see what delays April will have in store for us, the wallet is feeling restless.
This'll be the last order to head out towards my old place. Hopefully I'll get permission to mail all my boxes to work now, that way the reception will pay the postman and I'll just pick it up whenever.

I don't think so, people on mfc said that it's supposed to be a standard release and that AmiAmi had her on their Japan site. :/
Did research: There's a standard release and an exclusive via the Orchid Seed store. The exclusive comes with a signed mug I think

That's magnificent.
I haven't even watched Durarara yet and I think I will get this. Awesome nendo is awesome.
YAY
I'm seriously so excited for this figure. Now just waiting on Sepang Miku and everything will be good for April

She really is a beautiful Miku.

7k on Amazon, new, with 1.9k DHL shipping. MY WILL IS WEAK.
Ordered.
Man that's a hot price. That's the Miku I want too. Good pick up.
avatarquote
I was waiting for her to hit 7k. She went from 9k to 8k and sat there for months. 7k, BOOM BABY.
moar mikus to go on my new bookcase
I can smell the new paint and carpet from here.
Yeah....their prices are consistently so good. Plus pre-owned is right there and can be combined with orders you already have.
You can store stuff in Private Warehouse for up to 60 days. So if Lucina does come out in April then it'll be no problem shipping her in May
Mine just got delivered to my office!!!!
That Luka....she's near the top of my wishlist.

Ah good. I will leave her order alone for now then. Although I am tempted still to get rid of it. Same with those three little cute K-On figures in August.
Oh, nice! How big is the box?
Same here, got her delivered to the office. Took her out of the shipping box in front of my coworkers and everything.
Her box is way smaller than expected. No where near as big as Ultimate Madoka's box. Maybe 14 inches all 3 ways at most (L, W, H).

Ah ok, just curious if she compared to UltaMadoka
Siiigh two awesome figs (super-expensive shipping) rolled into my town on Friday, it's 2pm on Monday, neither are out for delivery, and one got held up because the auto-scanner couldn't read the postal code and a living, breathing human had to look at it to read it.
I guess what I'm saying is F U, Canada Post. Give me my figs.

Whew. I'm only looking at like $800 CDN between last week and the end of August.
...course that Bloodborne fig, Fight Club Mako Nendo and the Velvet/Cornelius fig may nudge that up a bit.
Dammit. No sir, I don't need it. Don't need it.
