"An oldie but a goodie! figma Sherlock Hound is coming soon too!"
Coming soon? Probably talking about preorders, but damn again I didn't think he was going to be up and set sooo soon lol

Oh wow o.oPre-orders for Aliasse from "Senjou no Valkyria 2: Gallia Ouritsushikan Gakkou" [Alter] start on the 22nd.
Expect a massive price. :/
Haha, I'm not going to order her personally [I'm sure the price will be more than I'm willing to pay], but she's a nice-looking figure. I love her pose, very dynamic. Art is by Raita too, which isn't surprising considering the series it's based off of.
But yeah, I'm sure the price will easily be 16k+ yen. :/
Fudge. They really are cheaper. Too late though. Already preordered with AmiAmi.

Man I'd really like to get all the Valkyrias but she's going to be expensive. I also wish she would have been closer to this.

whats going on with her leg? And whats that weird weapon thing?
I have the option to pay using the bank's rate instead (I'm using Visa Debit). Normally Paypal charges around 1.5-3% higher than my bank's rate so I opt to let Paypal charge in Yen and let the bank do the conversion rate.
Here's a a modified old screenshot that I made a few weeks back:

In the game she has a Valkyrian.....whiplance...thing.
Oh cool, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! This should save me some money.

I've been looking for her for a while, first time I skipped it because my monthly bill was too high, this time I said fuck it.

They are mostly ok, which is why I still use them from time to time.
Just be aware that N-Y sent someone here a bootleg, and then denied it until social media pressure forced them to honor a refund. They also frequently take a week or two from purchase to shipment for me, and they're not shy about jacking up the price on items they feel are in demand.
She's tempting. I do like blue girls and demon girls.
I tried to get into P&D a long time ago when everyone was saying that you should keep rerolling for a free Valkyrie when you made an account. I gave up because after a few days it was too draining. Has the game changed much since then?

No, that was pretty much my experience when I tried it last year to see what all the fuss was about. There's one thing that can kill my interest in a game in no time flat, and that's F2P energy systems.
A lot of the character artwork is really nice though!

Oh yes, definitely. The character artwork is great!

I did a photo shoot in the last thread if you missed it. She's still available from AmiAmi's Jp site as of yesterday, but you'll have to use proxy since Orchid Seed put a stop to international sales of the 7 Sins line for nobody knows what reasons.

She happens to be the pic of the day on MFC
And there are 4 members selling her starting at $110, if you're truly interested.
Couldn't find her on AmiAmi or Mandarake.
Giolon
Member
That is a pretty epic photoshop!
As I said, she's only on AmiAmi.jp at this point, not .com, because of Orchid Seed's insistence on killing international sales on the line. サタン is the name.

That looks pretty cool.

AmiAmi seems to have no qualms over selling used Orchid Seed figures because most of the Sins are still in their pre-owned section.
I'm sure one day soon Satan will show up in there as well.

Yeah it's really bizarre that OS killed off specifically the 7 Sins international sales, because all their other figures are still up for sale. Big in Japan had a tweet saying they couldn't sell the (hideous) Mammon recolor internationally because OS wouldn't let them. Around that point in time about a month ago, all 7 Sins figures vanished from Amiami.com Yet you can order their Triage X figure everywhere. Nobody knows what they're trying to accomplish.

That is fancy as heck. My guess it'll cost about 18k lol
I-401 is up on Amiami at a great discount, 17.7k instead of GSC's 23k (which includes a bonus background sheet of the Gravity field effect).
Release window is October 2015. I'm waiting to see what Abysse Corp's price will be to order but I've just found the background piece for my Arpeggio shelf!
Also, if you haven't seen Arpeggio of Blue Steel yet :
1: What is wrong with you?
2: Fix this glaring oversight immediately!

At around 13.8", it seems kinda small for all of that detail.

That is pretty damn awesome. Not going to get it though, not going to get into ships.

You can't really until you get it. But it depends on the item. Usually MFC might know if there is a counterfeit going around where you can see it on the item page and be more weary of less reputable sellers.
I'll take your word for it, man. That ship is too awesome for words.

KAIs suck if you care about scale though.
I prefer XIII-2 Lightning as she is in scale with the old Play arts which were much better.
kinda worth it. She's awesome.

Okay guys, real talk: I haven't bought anything pre-owned from AmiAmi since they introduced the new intermediate rankings (A-/B+), I've previously bought B items and they have been like new, is this still the case or should I be more wary now?

Ouch, love her to death, but I dunno if I'd pay that for her, luckily I bought her when she came out. Just as a side-note I hated the game, and her portrayal in it, but the character design is flawlessly Kazuma Kanekoific...
She's been on ami-ami pre-owned at least 3 times since she came out, and I had to pass on her each time. Just search for her everyday, and be there when they update...

Nah, B/B is still fine. If there's anything serious they'll make a note of it in the info column. Things like cigarette smells and whatnot. If anything is missing or busted, those items are usually C-grade.

It's been so long since I've posted on FigureGAF but I've returned with news and pics. First and foremost, my current amiibo collection:
I also received the last 1/4 scale statue I'm buying for a while (I have some debt to take care of first) so nothing above $200 until sometime in 2016. But here he is, Mass Effect's Garrus Vakarian.
That's it for now. I have a Figma coming this month (Lucina) but one of my other April orders (Abyssal Girl) was delayed, again!
It's missing the Gold Mario I have but rest assured I have him. I have had no luck, however, securing any Wave 4 preorders as of yet so there's that.

Unfortunately you really can't.
What you can do is
- Check MFC to see if known bootlegs exist
- Make sure the price is not too good to be true (compare to MSRP, MFC user price if possible, amiami/mandarake/etc.)
- Be extra wary of sellers shipping from China
- Check product reviews and seller feedback to see if anyone has left notes about getting bootlegs from specific sellers
- Ask here about specific listings
