Got 99 problems and only one of them is a waifu
Hate it when I pre order something on Nippon-Yasan and the price goes down the next day. Only like 60 cents, but still :x

I've never really been into figures but now that I've checked out this thread I am really tempted to get some from Steins;Gate and Fate/Zero.

Kiss your wallet goodbye. Well...that's not true. Your wallet will still be there. The stuff inside probably won't be though.

I mean....welcome to the club!

I remember when I was the newest, didn't know the pre-owned section of AmiAmi, didn't know of Griffon or Alter...so pure and innocent with much more free money

Yahhh, got mine in too! But at BiJ. Amiami have been kinda garbage with their discounts lately, I've noticed. Do we know what the exclusives are yet? Those comments on MFC blew up and I'm not bothered to sift through that load.


Just saw these!!! How much do you guys expect these to go for?

Dunno, prolly +10k if they're exclusive to GSC's store.

Ten days in perceived customs, should I be worried?

Nah. I wouldn't be too worried yet, especially if it's SAL.

On the otherhand, this is when I'd be worried.

I recently had a very similar experience to this. Continuing to wait over a month did nothing. You need to call the ISC location in whatever city is holding your package and they will get that package located and moving again very quickly. Try and find the direct line via some google searches; the general customer service line for the USPS did nothing for me.

I just got an email that Hobbysearch now has Morgiana in stock! Come to me dancing cutie!

would you suggest the Nadeko if I already have the beautiful Alter one?

The one I have is
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/de...ds=alter+nadeko$pagemax=20$getcnt=0$pagecnt=1
I dontl ike the GSC one.

if you ever find one at that price? Probably.

The base is more detail, and there are more options to display her. Its not a boring base but rather pretty detailed. Mine came in today (boxed still) but I have seen reviews. Shit is madly detailed.

edit

15k Tenshi (exclusive)
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/de...ortkey=preowned$pagemax=70$getcnt=0$pagecnt=1

That reminds me I never unboxed her!


This is a greatl ittle figure. Merry is adorable but Alter got her perfect.

Sent payment to AmiAmi. May is kinda killer cuz I had 3 figures and a game come out around the same time. Glad I didn't send payment immediately for any of them. Combined them, another payment request, combine them again. I really wish AmiAmi would automatically ask for orders to be combined if they came out within 3 days.

The Jason and Freddy figures do nothing for me. I don't like the designs at all.

Wow crazy, I take that series is huge? I don't think I have ever seen a figure sell out so fast on AmiAmi.

OP figures sell out all the time. They've become a reseller's paradise.

Fixed that for you...ya that is dangerous.

lol someone actually took these kind of figures to work?

I have heard few people taking nedoroids to work desks.

I have so much desk space though. We do make resins, maybe if I get one painted from e2046 and sell it as promotional materials...


It's fine if you work in some creative environment like maybe a video game company or maybe an anime/toy design place cuz that's normal to see. But I wouldn't dare bring figures of any kind to some corporate place.

And I agree, loli figures in particular are something to be extra careful about.

I've gotten some grief about collecting figures from a few relatives altho I don't give a fuck what they think. I like figures so I'll collect them.

It is something I am very aware of when I have been ordering figures. Luckily my parents stopped by not long ago and they were interested in them. Mainly my Mom, she wanted to steal my latest K-On figure (Azusa playing with the cat) so I haven't heard much grief yet. Had one friend see them and she kinda acted weird about it but no big deal. Of course I don't really care either way.

The Loli figures, while I do find adorable can bring a whole different stigma...so I try to avoid them.

My parents abhor them cuz they think it's a waste of money. I know that but it's my money, lol

The only figures I keep at work are Videogame Nenderoids. Currently have Sonic, and I'm planning on adding Mario (technically a Figurarts), Luigi, Link, and Red to my work desk as well.
 
Oh didn't realized that Kise and Law went up last night.

Don't care about Kise and don't really care enough to scramble to pre-order Law either. :p

Now if Law had a Chopper hat, maybeeeeeee
