Elf [Max Factory] and Insane Black Rock Shooter [GSC] delayed until July/August respectively. 
I guess that lessens the burden on my wallet for this month, but it adds to the other months. But then, given my luck, items from July/August will likely be delayed as well. >_<
As a positive, my Asmodeus shipped [with tissue cover]! I should have her by the end of the week, hopefully.

It definitely makes this month's order a bit smaller for me. I missed the preorder dates for Asmodeus so I've been F5ing the proxy sites and Manda like a madman.
In other news, I think I'll be buying a DSLR later today.

Got an email from Sideshow, Iron Man Mk. VII is set to arrive on the 24th of June.
Anyone else get this email? I was told by Sideshow themselves on Friday that I should be expecting my figure in early July... So yeah...

Figured I would offer it to you guys first, but I'm going to be selling my SIF EX Odin Sphere Velvet statue. She's been displayed in my detolf glass case for about a month but honestly I can't get over how much bigger she is than the rest of my figures. PM with an offer if you're interested.
For anyone who missed it, Asmodeus is currently back in stock on N-Y.

Well I just made my first request to cancel a figure from Ami-Ami, wish me luck.

Don't get banned. LOLOLOL.
I have to actually make a cancellation request too... Ugh. How did you word it?
DeadRockstar
Member
I usually start with "dear amiami team," keep the message short and end with "sorry for the inconvenience" and sign my name. For the actual reason you can cite budget or space issues.
It might be overly polite/saccharine, but I've cancelled maybe 5 things with them so far and never had a problem.

Straight to the point a with a little "please don't ban me" thrown in, like this:
Also it's not a short notice cancellation so hopefully they decide the last 3 years of business was worth my custom.

So Ques Q is doing a scaled version of Amy from Gargantia.... And she's in her belly dancer outfit from a couple of episodes back. Hope they pull it off.
Red_taiyaki
Member
I'm going to admit it. I've never heard of Ques Q so I have no idea regarding their track record.....
They're a newer company so they don't have much of a track record yet. Nothing they've put out looks very good or bad. I might get their Elizabeth, and their Flandre Scarlet looks pretty good, but they haven't really proven themselves yet like Phat Company has.

I really have no interest, but I can see someone springing for it. Even just for potential resale value down the road.
Christina Mackenzie

I have no interest in them nor have I seen the movie. $0.
You should really correct that mistake.

This. For serious.

easily worth $500. Those things are impossible to get and will only become more rarer down the line. I can see them being popular with unique toys fans and Tarantino fans
Not sure if I want this for the price (12800 before discounts). She's big (250mm), but not huge. Maybe if she was 300mm she'd be worth it. But she does look better than Megahouse's Rise, and that was just as expensive. Hmmmm. I'm weak for anything Persona, maybe if she comes out in a light month (mfc says August).
Preorders start tomorrow.

Mitsuru is going to be a buy for me I think. The final version is quite impressive. Interesting that they show her without the coat. I wonder if that's just to show off the detail underneath or if it's cast-off.
Is she really going to make August though? Seems too soon.

So yeah, Ami-Ami let me cancel, and I didn't get banned, they still have a tough front about it though:
Now that I know not to order 1/6 scale figures and the like from them I don't think I'll ever have to cancel again.

Can someone help me out here? I want this figure quite a bit but don't know if they even will ship to the Us or sell it outside of Japan. how would I go about preordering this?

Argh I hope it's discounted well =/, will get but will cry in a corner XD
Usually they'll start around 11pm eastern. Don't worry. It'll still be available a few weeks from now (if it sells out at all).

Yes. Mitsuru. For days.

so mitsuru is aug. Definitely preorder and may get melty (alter) as well and just ems it.
DeadRockstar

Don't forget Melty might miss Aug though with Alter's delays. I'm thinking about grabbing her as well. Cool looking figure.

Holy mother fuck! Dat price! She's a P4A figure, so I don't think I can resist. But come on, where the shit is our Labrys already!?

URG!
I was going to pass, due to my high-number of current pre-orders...but this looks too amazing. ~_~
I already have Insane BRS, Belldandy and Holy Bell, Melty, Katsuragi, Saior Moon Figuarts, and Venusaur D-Arts for August, though [assuming none are delayed].
I'll have to give this one some thought...
Freezasaurus

My only complaint about her is that they went a bit overboard on the black. She could have used another color for a trim on that catsuit.
She's not exclusive is she? Will Ami have her?
SUPARSTARX
Member
I'll be upset if she's exclusive.
DeadRockstar
Member
I don't own any Vertex figures, but their pages on MFC don't mention them being exclusive so hopefully Mitsuru is the same.
Samurai_Heart
Member
Question, are Vertex figures worth the price or it's just the Misturu figure that's expensive?
They're a new company without any track record, so whether she'll be worth the price is questionable. Definitely not like Max Factory where you'll know the final product will be great.

Oh dang, well at least I'll jump in the unknown pool with my fellow geek GAFfers lol

Nobody own this 39,800 JPY beast from Vertex? lol
Freezasaurus

Gorgeous, but that's a wee bit too much.
Nope, she looks to be Standard run, so AmiAmi/HS/etc. should have her!
Pre-orders open tonight! I won't be placing an order right away, though, I need to give it a bit more thought first.
