^ Same here man. I can't resist his work.
In my experience Japanese shops usually start updating around 8pm pacific, 11pm eastern, 4am GMT.
Thanks!

i got my mai but the feet down't go fully down on the pegs but it does look secure enough that it won't fall over.
They usually update at around 8-9PM [PST]. She shouldn't sell out "too" fast, considering Max Factory usually has a pretty decent amount of stock, but I'll definitely pre-order as soon as she goes up.What time roughly do amiami's orders go up? I don't want to risk misisng her
Her being as popular as she is definitely increases the chances of her selling out early-on, but as long as you pre-order tonight you should be fine. I'm not taking any chances though!
*gets F5 key ready*
To be honest...this might be the first time I order two of a figure. I love Tharja that much, and would like a "back-up" for the future in-case anything happens to my current one on display. Knowing Max Factory, she will never get a re-release, and this one will definitely increase in value on the aftermarket [and quite quickly, I'm guessing]. If you want a replacement, pre-ordering one before release is definitely advisable.
Not at this time.
Kotobukiya sometimes does "surprise" pre-orders, with some going up without indication [even re-releases of some]. The fact that so many Kotobukiya figures sell out within hours [sometimes shorter], makes this a stressful experience. AmiAmi usually staggers Kotobukiya pre-orders, though, offering batches up for a few nights after initial pre-order until they finally sell out.
There's always the Kotobukiya USA site if you miss out on Japanese pre-orders, they should have her. Although I still go for Japanese sites since I'm usually already ordering items and I like to have the shipments combined.

Thanks a lot for the explanation.
You're very welcome.
If I hear anything about a price/pre-order date for Daisy-chan, I'll definitely post it here and let you know.

I'm anticipating Tharja cause one of my favourite series is finally getting a good quality figure =D, I hope her release goes well and there'll be more to come.
If there are D-Arts I want Captain Falcon with his Blue Falcon or Fox McCloud with an Arwing, my dream is for an official Arwing model lol
You meant Neodoroid =P and the villager (male or female) will work well lol.I'm surprised about no new Nintendo D-Arts showing up past the Animal Crossing one.
cough ahem right here make this one

Ha ha, you say that, but every motherfucker here is chomping at the bit to pre-order her.

Avatar bet lol change your avatar to Tharja for a week based on losing bet on how fast it sells out =P
New to these kind of bets, but i'd be up for it. Sounds like fun
.Who decides on the avatar?

How fast of a sell-out are we betting on? And do AmiAmi staggers count?

I'm going to bed. You guys better not buy all the Tharjas before I wake up tomorrow.

Just amiami? I mean there are lots of popular sites people use,
amiami, bio boutique, nippon-yassan, hobby japan, hobby search etc etc.
Freezasaurus

I'm asking, is all. I'm betting she'll sell out before the end of the week. EVERYWHERE. Play-Asia doesn't count, because those motherfuckers are scalpers. You guys are underestimating the demand for her like Nintendo underestimated the demand for Fire Emblem: Awakening in the States.

Hmmmm should it be embarrassing or normal? As long as it's safe for work XD. Will probs discuss about it before being made to use it lolNew to these kind of bets, but i'd be up for it. Sounds like fun
Who decides on the avatar?
Yeah won't count on them or eBay, probs should choose the major places...
And yes I also believe it's popular as well but reckon it be a week or two before selling out.
Edit: Quick google, these images made into avatar might work XD, waaaay off one gets the freakiest looking one I let you guys decide which one it is =p

Why are all the Detective Conan figures I see mediocre or downright horrible? (Especially the faces).

Top one is definitely the freakiest. In fact, they look like they're already in order from worst to least-worst.
i know, makes me sad

I got a figma in today. She's perfect!
You get a base like that with every figma.

What was supremely awesome, is that Persona 4 Labrys came with TWO bases! One for her, and one for her giant axe. You can do so many action poses.
Chet Rippo

Yep, the cool thing too is that the action base arm also attaches to the stage I got with my Special edition Mio and Ritsu Nendoroids.
Figure GAF |OT| "Where has all of my money gone?"
Figure GAF |OT| Where we exchange hard-earned money for pieces of plastic...and like it!
Figure GAF |OT| I love the smell of PVC in the morning!
Figure GAF |OT| It's not a "waste of money", it's art!
Figure GAF |OT| Where the box is just as much a collectible as the figure.
Figure GAF |OT| The first step is admitting you have a problem...the second is buying more figures!
Just a few I thought of. I'll post more later [if anything else comes to mind].

These are good.
Im not
yall enjoy though!
Congrats!
Im kind of finished with K on figures until Alter releases a new one.
Having the full Alter lineup plus the Banpresto death devil figures is plenty good enough for now.
I'm surprised about no new Nintendo D-Arts showing up past the Animal Crossing one.
cough ahem right here make this one
Figma "Marth" is known, but yeah other than that I'd like to see the more classic characters.

Blastoise came this morning. Gotta say I love him. Limited mobility, but still a rad figure. Articulation on all of his claws.
The price for Tharja is supposedly 10,800 yen without store discount. Release is scheduled for December.
Depending on how much the stores offer, my earlier estimate seems to be more-or-less accurate.
Damn, that's more than I was hoping for. Will still buy it though.

hope AmiAmi does 20% off
Don't worry, you can likely knock a good 1,000-2,000 yen off of that if the stores offer a pretty good discount.
I still think the 7,500-9,000 yen range is where she'll sit, but we won't know for sure until the sites list her.
They seem to be taking their time.

Motherfucker!
Eh. December. Junko is the only other figure I've got coming out then. Fuck it, I'm in. But if AmiAmi is pulling that 6% off horseshit again, I'm going HLJ.
