Kill it with fire.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Delays took my April from 32k to 4k.

But now it's at 30k thanks the preowned.

Gotdamn

No... this one needs fire

I feel like I should have just linked this under NSFE (Not safe for eyes)

Sakura Miku Nendo Preowned 5,780 JPY

sorry for the spam, was finding stuff while looking for something

 

[Zombine]

Pre-owned is strange to me. Don't you guys ever wonder what the previous owner did with the figure?

Gonna try and tiptoe around the issue without being gross.

If someone did something naughty to my figure, and AmiAmi rates it a B or above, then I can't be bothered to care. Any evidence has been thoroughly cleaned to the point where there is nothing left. Onto more tasteful topics, if it has smoke smell, they'll tell you. If it has animal smell, they'll tell you. Everything else doesn't matter because...well...it doesn't matter. You're getting a figure that essentially looks like it was opened and placed on a shelf.

Dunno, preowned doesn't bother me, even if someone did bad things to the figure. As long as third parties clean them and tell me they're okay, I'm okay.

Put it on a shelf, let it get a bit dusty, got tired of it, dusted it off a bit, repackaged it and then sold it to the second hand retailer of their choosing.

Not at all. I try to assume most collectors are not the worst case scenario and are not following the small group of disgusting people that do things to their figures.

Pretty much this and what Ein said.

Spoiler

I still find it funny when lewd figures are sold and adevertised as stained.

 

[Theonik]

I only buy A/B or B+. If someone else popped it open it has no business on my shelf.

 

[Zombine]

So basically pre-owned is ok and sometimes worth the discount.

 

[Einbroch]

Always worth the discount as long as it's B and above, for me.

B+/C is the perfect rating for the price. B/C is second best, followed by B/B.

And sometimes it's the only option if you're looking for a particular discontinued figure.

I saw one that said stained yesterday.

Depends on why it's C for me. C is very dubious in AmiAmi, since they don't say why so I avoid it. Will buy a C equivalent for box on Mandarake as long as it's not something I mind. If it's a separated window for instance it's a 2 minute glue fix for large savings.

I love when it's C and down below it will say "missing clear file, figure is an A" or missing some random extra it came with.

Racing Miku 2014 delayed till July and Figma Lucina delayed till June

http://www.goodsmile.info/en/post/4089/Release+Date+Changes+for+April+2015+Products.html

welp there it is

3/5 of my April order delayed. lol I grabbed Ayesha when she went back up, so once Sorey is in I can have my order (those 2 plus Chiaki) shipped. April ended up not being so bad.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

delays happening in OT5 more often than our delayed themed OT

Damn didn't even notice the Racing Miku delay. Shesh....

It seems like gsc is having problem with their new factory.

I have yet to find where AmiAmi lists their detailed condition notes :/

Here's an example from a while back

sigh.... really want this fig, but not like this.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

nightmare fuel

 

[Tempy]

A lot of what is "pre-owned" on Mandarake or AmiAmi has never been opened anyway, or even sold (just stock with minor damage).

 

[Muzicfreq]

Here's an example from a while back

 

[Ohmygoditsjrod]

I think they might only do it on C items.

 

[Snkfanatic]

I am still bitter that Ami sold me a used Ritsu Nendo and failed to let me know that she was missing a drumstick...

 

[kierwynn]

lol Some people on MFC flipping out about Lucina delay. Yeah, delays sucks, but it'll be okay...

 

[kewlmyc]

lol Some people on MFC flipping out about Lucina delay. Yeah, delays sucks, but it'll be okay...

It seems a lot of people's first "major" figure is the Lucina figma if that thread a while back is of any truth. They probably aren't all that familiar with GSC's last notice delays.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Did it mention what Lucina was delayed to? That's my first actual preorder so I'm just curious when Ill see it.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Swearing off preowned.

 

[raven777]

pre-order starts tomorrow

WHY MUST MY WALLET BE SO EMPTY?!

probably next year

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Alright so someone answered my prayers. Probably Hestia.

4 of the 5 items in this month's order has been delayed. Maybe I should spend my saved money on other figures.

FigureGAF is going to get me fired one day.

I never noticed it on C but I guess I'll look there from now on!

ALL OF MY YES.

Manufactures work with retailers akin to video game publishers provide retailers with pre-order DLC

That's the last fucking thing I need, some weeb's DNA all over a figure, no fucking thanks

Haha... I wouldn't even be willing to deal that figure as a reseller

Joke's on you someone actually bought it in all likelihood without looking and AmiAmi made a 4x markup from the dude as a result. YOINK
