Also, congrats on your grail purchase, Einbroch.

Did I use that term right? I took it to mean the figure you've been lusting after for a long time.

It's easy to say that now, but is pre-owned done with you?

I think so. Unless a new figure comes out that's part of a line that I absolutely need. Racing Miku 2014 did it to me, but I don't see anything on the horizon that I'll get into. Seven Deadly Sins is too rich for my blood.
 
Kyoko and Asuka are pretty much guaranteed to be delayed. Sansei...is possible. Amazon should make her release date.

I'd say if you can wait, wait. You'd save a bit of money, unless you're super-anxious to receive your Tsukasa Bullet.

Alter's Asuka Q is going to get delayed 1000%, no question. But do you really think Kyoko is going to get hit with another one? She's already been delayed once. Then again, people are still waiting for Swamp Witch, aren't they?

I can definitely wait for Mizuki, so I'll just bundle her with the monthly, which at this point may just end up being Sansei.
 
Alright. Been out of the figure game for awhile, but came back hard after reading this thread. Just got the last of my figures in today and took a small group photo (had to take it in a hurry, so it's not the best picture).

(There's a catsuit meiko in the back as well)

Vanessa was $120 after shipping

Angel and Mary were $20 each plus shipping

Meiko on the left was $78 after shipping, Catsuit Meiko was around $100 after shipping

Viletta Nu Emotion Style was was about $77 after shipping.

I may have spent a bit more than I should (around $430, which I didn't realize until now), and I do want to cut back for awhile....but I'm also going to an Anime convention tomorrow (Motaku), so who knows.

One day I'll get the teacher version of Meiko.
 
Guys.....guys. I found out some sad news...... the Gundam Build Fighters figures from MegaHouse are only going to be 1/10 scale. :(

WUT? I didn't even think MH bothered with that scale, especially for PVC figures. I'm sure all their Gundam characters up to now have been 1/8, even Tieria..... so why?

One day I'll get the teacher version of Meiko.

I just ordered her from Big In Japan the other day. Got my shipping notification today. They were the only place I could find that still had her in stock. Except Nippon-Yasan, but they wanted 14k for her, fufufufufufu.

I like the Catsuit version, which even comes with the table (from that scene with Anzu, fufufufufufufu), but I hear that version is pretty tiny for the price.

Yeah, the term is correct!

Yeah, Phat seems to delay their figures at least 2-3 times before release, sometimes even more. I mean, look what happened with Bayonetta, and the same seems to be happening with Swamp Witch. Since Kyoko has only been delayed once, I can see her getting delayed another time, possibly even a second.

Sorry to those looking forward to her, it's better to expect the worse than be disappointed later. >_<

wait wait wait wait.

There's a figure of Angel?
 
question

I put quake putty on the front 3 (non risers) and the shelf is bolted. Do you guys think thats enough protection rofl. or should i put putty on the back row to the risers. I can't put putty on the risers to shelf for whatever reason. For some odd reason, it doesn't like to stay.

holy fuck when and where can i buy these?
No release date yet and, given the track record of both companies, expect them to be delayed a couple months beyond what they estimate. :(

Oh, a preview for Mikuzukin now up on Mikatan's Blog:

http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2014/08/08/mikuzukin/

Not sure what it is, but something bothers me about her face. It's almost as though she's wearing a mask or something, it's strange. I like the idea behind it and all, and Max Factory is manufacturing her so I'm sure the painting/final product will be great, but for me it's an easy pass. Thankfully. I don't get many of those these days. -_-

Pre-orders open on the 11th.

It's the chin. Don't like her face either.

Daw, what a cutie but I have to save up for glasses Kancolle girls. At least my wonfest will buy list is just down to MF Yamato (I believe that is her) and racing miku. Probable buys are MF wu class if price is right, and aquamarines akatsuki from log horizon if sculpt and paint is good. Since I don't get as many figures as a lot of you I usually rather pay a for quality than quantity which keeps my collection relatively reasonable in size.

My Alter Kanna arrived!!


only had her for few minutes but she looks amazing. The quality is fantastic. It seems it doesn't really have any defects (my other A/B used that came with Kanna had some problems)

also the box is really pretty. Best figure box I have seen so far.

Maturity, bitches.
Is that GUP nendo tank going to be a thing or is it similar to the battle uniform Miho from ages ago which was just a one off mock up (I know one can make your own now by buying one of the other GuP nendos)

I really should build that model kit tank I bought...

I don't care about Miku that much and I'm done with bikinis but that Racing Miku figure looks so cute and sexy...

That's unfortunate. Kirigiri is probably my most anticipated figure right now- gonna suck if she gets a few more delays. Oh well, you're probably right about expecting the worse. I'll just be patient until she is finally released.
 
Looks like I'm going to need to head to IKEA for another DETOLF display unit. I know I'll need to build in the same LED strip lightning as before, but I hated doing it first time round... It's not about to get any easier, is it :(
