I think Miku has way more than the others.
No wonder I feel like every other week we get a new idol girl or a ship girl (or sword boy).

Bad news friend. She exists. You can get her on the aftermarket. Last I saw, she was about 7k on Manda.

As it turns out, there wasn't as much photoshopping in those pictures as you thought.
Ugh, I need to stop ordering from Good Smile.
I end forgetting I placed an order there, and put one through AmiAmi twice now.
I placed the AmiAmi order a week or two after the Good Smile one was supposed to ship, but I got them both on the same day (both EMS).
All for a strap...

Bye bye monies.
Also, don't they charge flat-rate 2k shipping? You're paying 2k shipping for a strap? :O

It's the problem with how the figure industry works. I don't tend to normally pre-order things for this reason. Asking me to keep track of stuff and then wait several months in advance is pretty rough.

You know, this picture gives me a perspective. I need to stop. I need to be stopped. Thankfully, there hasn't been anything interesting as of late and I've stopped buying figures on impulse.

AmiAmi only stays in business by guilt-tripping their customers. :O
Email them and ask for a full wipe.
Then only re-order what you really want.
I did it about 6 months ago.

At some point this happens, it happened to me for sure. Email them and just tell the truth and tell them to wipe your orders out. They won't let you cherry pick, it's either keep it all or cancel it all. Sounds like you won't have a issue with that part at least. Just take a break or step away.

When that happened for me, I'd already been able to re-order the things I really wanted at other retailers, so I was happy to see all my AmiAmi orders wiped clean.

Wipe your orders then just order what you really really want again. They won't fight it unless they ban you and I seriously doubt that will happen.

Subbing since I guess I'll be joining the ranks of nendoGAF once my Gahara arrives. I'll also be on the lookout for more Monogatari releases if they ever come. I guess Ononoki would be nice, and Ougi could be a possibility as well. I'd really like getting a Hachikuji nendo, but paying over $90 or ¥8K is too rich for my blood.
8K yen would only be like $72 bucks or so. Go for it!
Except Amazon JP apparently doesn't allow me to ship her neither to the US (where a relative could pick the package up for me) nor to Argentina (lol). Gahara cost me $66 fulfilled by Amazon (US) which I think is fair since she originally cost ¥5K, but Hachikuji originally cost ¥3.5K, so I don't feel all that sure about paying over twice that amount for her.
The rest of the girls are all kind of meh, I'd say. I'd only pick Ononoki up because she has a completely different design, Ougi because he/she/it's creepy, or Kaiki because he's Kaiki. Koyomi's kind of decent, but $80 for him is again more than what I'd be willing to pay.
AmiAmi all day bruh. Stalk the pre-owned section, if the figure rating is A the box was never even opened.

Thanks to a few people enabling me, I now have 12 nendoroids. How should I store the spare parts? I only opened one of them last month and have Raiden from MGS 2 on my PS4.
I have Jack Frost and Umaru on the way soon.

Plano hobby boxes! You can get them at Walmart, might be hiding in the fishing section since they're super popular with fishermen. Amazon too, of course.

I use Ikea KUGGIS to store the parts. They look clean and are dirt cheap too.
Grim Patron

Ill check. Thanks.
No Ikea here yet but ill google to see and get something similar. thank you.
But are there any chances that I'd happen to find a nendo such as Hachikuji's, which was released on Jan 2014?
Also, what's with AmiAmi constantly displaying out of stock items? A filter would make sifting through the items you can't even get a lot easier, IMO.

For "used" stuff, you may want to check Mandarake, though the price isn't much cheaper for rare ones.
I have Nendos from before that I got through their used section, never been open and totally mint, even if the boxes had a little wear to them. Just gotta check a few times a week.
Yeah, they do have a couple Mayois in there, but all those "order at your own risk" disclaimers, their "picture is for reference, please call for any inquiries about the in-stock product" and their no returns policy certainly doesn't help me think of them as a trustworthy place for ordering stuff. Anyone have any experience ordering from them that they could share with me?
I'm glad they do have a filter for out of stock items, but a quick browse through their Monogatari stock made me wish they had a 18+ filter as well.

They are legit. I bought like 10 nendos from them. They have unopened (bascially brand new but with some dents in the box) and opened stuff so you might want to double check the conditions or missing parts before making the order.
figinstock is your friend. It's how I found Mayoi on Mandarake a few months ago (she goes for around 10k yen).
