IDK... crotch shots.
Off topic: Finally fought Zamtrios. I think I was over geared because that was really easy. Could have been my favorite new monster but then he
Inflated like a balloon.
His armor are really cool too. Too bad it has crappy skills.

So my Amiami bill for this month is under 300 now. I think that's doable. Even with the shipping, should be under 300.
I am tempted to tack on a gunpla or frame arms kit.

I think spider has too much going on. Iron Man looks cool with the effect parts. Also Mjolnir looks huge.
Speaking of Strike Witches; I got the Toys' Works Niitengo Collection A (http://myfigurecollection.net/search.php?type_strict=1&type_id=72743) yesterday:
Also got plamo kits of Rensouhou-chan and ChibiMaru Kongou.

Honestly I find that a issue with quite a few Play Kai Arts figures, they go way overboard with the design and detail and often make a mess.

Nice! I really like those chibi ships...kinda want one still.
Boy that Spidey looks shitty.

Wow Figma Sinon & Nagato both got delayed.
Still readily available. I think they were originally released in 2012? And then re-released to capitalize on KanColle popularity. It helps they don't need to pay any licensing!
They're pretty damn small though.

Behold my grail
Congrats, I was still in "I don't collect statues" mode when it came out, though I wanted one.. I don't know that the rest of figuregaf knows how much she goes for, but I do...
How much did she set you back?

In NeoGAF terms?
193080.20 ¥
I got my grail, was able to help a guy out in a bind, and sent a very clear message to the lcs owner that brokered the deal that I'm a serious collector.

A little late on this, but ever since I saw her at WonFes, it's been Volks 1/4 Selvaria:
If she ever became a scale, she would be my "at any price" figure.

It takes a lot of guts to spend that much on one statue.

i c wut u did ther.
It's astounding to me how much Sideshow pieces go up in value once they sell out. Prices go from "That's expensive!" to LOLNOPE.

Well at least its less stress for you to get them. ~_~
I got two, saw the mess it is trying to get some of them, and then I gave up. Samus and Pikachu are enough for me.
They are.
I'm waiting for Mega Man/Sonic to arrive from Amazon, and Shulk from AmiAmi [when my monthly order ships]. After that, I'll probably combine them all into a single auction [complete Wave 1/2/3] and sell them all. They're just a headache.
Speaking of ships, I watched the new KanColle episode last night. I was pleased with it. Very pleased.

I'm fortunate that I got to see her in person before buying. That's worth at least an extra couple hundred bucks to me. Plus, being able to help someone out is icing on the cake.

Man, I can't believe you guys bought into the Amiibo trend. Hipsters, the lot of you.
More like Amiiblows, right?!
Says the guy who jumped onto the Kancolle boat like it was nothing.

lol I know. There are a whole bunch of Alien and Predator pieces I want with stratospheric pricing.
Another closeup. I don't know where I'm going to put her.

I'm remembering back when I said I wasn't gonna get any straight away except the rares
;___; Damn scalpers have more or less made every one rare T__T, feel the most sorry for you NA folks though, their distribution is such a mess =/
Always been curious was your name inspired by DBZ or something else?
And yes I know Goku get's slapped back in the GIF XD
Freezasaurus

It was DBZ, but it was years ago, you're talking. Over a decade.
Well after moving my bed in the pink room to a better place and getting most of my figure boxes out my room now feels more like my room apart from the insanely pink walls and princess wallpaper border at the top of the room so feeling much better. Everyone else is somehow already in bed at 11PM so I think living here might become a problem for me in the long run lol my keyboard makes so much noise.
PC still not set up and two days of Internet gaming lost, but I shall persevere!

Your LCS owners gonna start rolling out the red carpet when you strut in.
When your in the position to help someone and get your grail at the same time that shit's gotta feel good. Just going back and picking up some of the things I missed, or passed on always feels great to finally have them sitting on the shelf, but Darth Talon is at level I don't see myself attaining.
My grails a hell of a lot cheaper, the Mark Newman Vampirella EX, but I keep putting off picking her up and started setting stupid rules in front of her so that she always remains a grail.
I need to want to own her, more then I need to own her, if that makes any sense at all to anyone else I dunno, but that's how I feel about my grail. I need to feel like I can buy her without sweating it...
oh come on, you fucking tease. Out with it....
I wasn't trying to tease, I was trying to be discrete... I now know I suck at that...
I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS REAL ;__;

I have 0 experience with Vampi. Comics or otherwise, but that Sideshow piece looks damn tempting. I kinda want my first SS statue to be a character I'm a really big fan of, though.
I figured it was a lot. I just wanted a ballpark figure. I don't need to know what he paid down to the decimal point.
Nah, just one of her eyes. She'll be back, no worries.
enigmatikone

That Vampi EX is a great piece. I like the comiquette, too. There's a shop in town that has the PF. Dunno about the price. I've got the new one preordered.
I totally understand about want vs need. I had just started collecting when Darth Talon was released. At that time I was more into Kotobukiya bishoujos.
I did try several times to get Talon on ebay, but was always sniped. I really didn't know how things worked, either. I thought that it was just a matter of time until someone threw one up on the 'bay at a reasonable price (close to what she originally retailed for).
Then the piece was shown on Big Bang Theory and the price just skyrocketed after that. It didn't make sense to spend that much, when I could get four SSC PFs for that price and handn't even a single PF collected at the time. Now I'm fleshing out a budding collection so it makes more sense.
I guess I need to pick up Asajj Ventress now....

Makes what I paid for my Yoshino Nendo sound like chump change. Congrats on this magnificent acquisition.
GSC, please do NOT rerelease Yoshino...at least not in my lifetime.

No amiibos for me
If this was real I would never shut the fuck up about it.
