Couldn't see on in the catalog so here we go.
I think someone fucked up my Saori figma. Her skirt will literally not go down.
The skirts of sluts never go down.
Aaaaaaand THIS is why a trip should always make a new thread.
>>112342343
Or just non-retards.
This thread is shit.
>>112341853
>Couldn't see on in the catalog so
These are always the people that shouldn't make threads. They just let everyone know they're new and don't know what they're doing by trying to justify making a thread by saying they didn't see one in catalog.
>>112341853
Erika figma fucking when?
>>112342656
I just wanted to talk about figures.
I bought both of these; who wants one?
>>112342959
M-me..
Every day until Laura's -Bunny Style- figure by Kotobukiya is up for preorders.
>>112342984
That's nice.
>>112342656
Calm your autism, you don't need to try that hard to fit in because no one cares what you think.
>>112343222
Fuck off
>>112342906
I chuckled.
How much more expensive will figures be in 2-3 years? They used to cost half of the current price.
I hate this new thread closing thing.
I can't tell when the thread dies.
>>112345065
This image kills me every time. I feel bad for that anon though.
>>112345176
The plushie was fine though.
>>112345176
Yeah.
It's too perfect though so I have to use it.
>officially repaired
>>112345065
4chan X pops up with a "Thread is now closed" message for me.
>>112345065
The icon in the tab turns red when it 404's thats how i tell at least
>>112345295
I use appchan and there's a little popup once but when I'm browsing and doing other stuff it's easy to miss whereas 404 would appear permanently in the tab title before
>>112345307
Don't have tab icons
>>112345508
Oh. 4chan X's message stays up until you close it as far as I can tell.
>>112345547
Appchans stays but will disappear if you switch tabs and I do a lot of ctrl+tab without actually looking at the screen.
>>112342296
Shouldn't that be the other way around?
>>112344986
I did some calculations on the rate the inflations grows every year and it was an increase of about 20% per year.
Has anybody gotten a payment notice for this yet? I'm still waiting on mine.
>>112346065
Where do you buy this...? I can find it when I search in kana, but in English, she's nowhere to be found.
>>112346384
Chances are if you'd just reverse searched the image, you would've gotten the artist's pixiv, which has a link to the mail order page.
But I'll just be nice and give you the link now.

It's only been down a couple of days but living without amiami is fucking hard
>>112346575
Meant to say, was, hard
>>112346532
Hehe, thanks anon-kun. Found the site right after I posted. Guess I should've looked a little longer before asking.
>>112346575
But it wasn't down, they were just on vacation.
>>112346575
How about you read the announcements? Anyway looks like they came back with new button designs.
So I somehow managed to miss the preorders for this beauty. What do you guys think the aftermarket prices will be like?
>>112346985
Anymore than $40 is too much.
>>112346959
Doesn't look like it's hit the JP side yet.
>>112346959
How many centuries will take them to design a site where you can log in, add stuff to your cart, then order instead of logging in, adding stuff to your cart and being asked to log in again to actually order.
>>112347107
You don't have to log in to add stuff to the cart, only when you want to make the order.
>>112347107
What? Just add stuff to cart, click check out, and then it'll ask you to just log in once.
Soon...
>>112341853
Take the skirt off and hit it with a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting to warm it up and make it flexible.
I had the same problem with my Hidamaris after keeping them in these poses for ~12 months.
I bought my first Nendo petite set the other day and it finally arrived.
>>112347045
But figs manufactured by Kyoani generally retain their value right?
>>112347196
>>112347229
I'm talking about already being logged in because you wanted to check orders or something and then why you try to checkout it asks you to log in again. It doesn't remember that you're already logged in which has been bare minimum for sites for like 15 years.
>>112347296
Just opened it today, and I really like them. They look great in front of my PC monitor.
It's also nice finally owning some Falcom figures, Feena is one of my favorite Ys girls.
>>112347332
Huh, I guess I never ran into that. That's pretty stupid, yeah.
>>112347300
Kyoto Animation exclusive scales always go up in price in the aftermarket.
The K-on ending versions stay at around retail, but everything else is expensive. Chitanda is like 20k and the other Chuunis are around 12-13k.
>>112347332
Just happened to me, too.
>Click for account information
>Log in and check watch list
>Click again for account information
>Told to log in again
Logging in literally every ten seconds is annoying, but at least I know nobody will log into my computer and buy figures from Amiami, because my password isn't saved.Also because nobody would do that to begin with.
>>112347413
Too bad their Chitanda sucks.
>>112346959
Bright and Shiny!
>>112341853
1) Make sure its not part of the design.
2) Make sure its the right way around....
3) If all else fails, >>112347251
Will Griffon ever even bother trying again?
>>112347716
nope, griffon's target market is china now, there's no need to try
>>112347716
Even the prototype looks flat and unappealing.
>>112347828
That and it's the exact same scale that GSC already did like, 4 years ago
I'm not huge into the Marvel Universe but this is pretty tempting
>>112347940
It would be very tempting had the figure actually looked like this.
>>112347716
Griffon Saber really let herself go.
>>112348060
She looks cute and would make a good Sister of Battle.
>>112347940
I'm more interested in the upcoming one of The Wasp.
>Still no Lucina preorders
God dammit
>>112347251
What DVD/BD box set is that?
>>112347706
Looking at it closely I'm pretty sure OP did actually put the skirt on backwards. I don't have Saori but I think she'd come with a standing skirt and a sitting skirt in the accessories and this guy dun goofed.
Even amongst the wizards and autistics here, those who can't put on a skirt properly are rare. Most of us have at least put one on ourselves.
>>112348853
>What DVD/BD box set is that?
>literally says it on the side
I thought downy anons couldn't navigate 4chan properly, let alone post?
>>112347716
And this will sell because it's Saber.
>>112348927
I know its Hidamari Sketch but I want to know how to find it.
>>112348872
Do you not use that tea cup at all?
>>112348872
>Most of us have at least put one on ourselves.
I have two that have removable skirts and I always have a bitch of a time getting them on right.
>>112349028
Then why the fuck would you ask what it is?
>>112347940
>>112347983
This figure looksgood, actually.
>>112349134
Love her ass, but the face doesn't look quite as deliciously smug as in the artwork.
Overall, 7/10, would buy out of bargain bin.
>>112349094
There have been multiple releases of Hidamari sketch in both Japanese and English, also I didn't ask what it was but which box set it is.
>>112349134
No accessories/effect parts.
>>112349134
Bishoujos are really hit or miss.
Sometimes they can be really good for their price and sometimes they can be really bad.
I don't know how many different sculptors they have working on them, but the guy who did the Lili and the Men in Black one should really be kicked off the project.
>>112349028
>http://www.rightstuf.com/rssite/action/store/item/Item?ItemName=sfhs100
>>112349038
Yes, but that's where it lives when not in use.
>>112349232
>What DVD/BD box set is that?
So question:
Some blu rays sell like shit naturally.
Lets assume I like some show that sold like shit.
Why are the prices of these shows that did not sell not crazy low? Shouldn't there be some sort of clearance on them?
>>112349258
Man localized box sets are so cheap. But I really don't want to support fuckers like sentai.
>>112349252
I've got the Ami-Kuni (I think that's what the line's called?) Jade, and the Bishoujo Catwoman, both of which are pretty nice.
>>112347374
How hard to fit on were the stands?
Well, I did it.
>>112349586
Damn anon. Post pics when she gets to you.

45k for a swimsuit figure
>>112349658
45k for a 65cm tall 1/2.5 "scale" swimsuit figure with squishable breasts of my waifu.By Griffon.

>52 sold
oh well, she's made in china in the first place anyways
>>112349586
I'm kind of surprised shipping is only 4.5k
The box has to be pretty big
>>112349775
I picked SAL for a starter since it was the cheapest. The most expensive was FedEx at just under 11k, and EMS at just under 10k.
>>112349586
Should of saved up and bought a life size doll. Dress her up as biri biri.
>>112349586
I thought that figure looked bad, but I hope you will enjoy it.
>>112349734
Why would you give griffon 40k you son of a bitch
>>112349422
I bought a set for myself at full price and then when it went on special last Christmas I bought another full set for a friend I knew liked it.
I'm glad I was able to buy a legitimate copy of my favourite show, regardless of who produced it. Now waiting for Honeycomb to get a U.S release.
>>112349658
You should see what the dollfags spend on their 60cm tall swimsuit figures.
>>112349586
Keep us updated if that arrives safely
>>112349506
Renne was a pain to attach to the stand, but Estelle and Feena weren't too bad
>>112349839
How did you manage to get SAL on something that big?
And wouldn't you want to register and insure something that expensive? If I saw a giant Biribiri pass through my scanner at the airport checkpoint, you can bet your ass it'd be lost in transit.
>>112349773
>Homegrown products for Sale
>>112349913
For being such a large figure I thought it looked just passable. Could have been worse, really, but time will tell.
>>112349927
I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about it. I'll cancel if it gets worse than Himawari's.
>>112350002
>How did you manage to get SAL on something that big?
I picked it as a placeholder. Once I'm sure I can afford better shipping I'll bump it up.
>>112349932
>I'm glad I was able to buy a legitimate copy of my favourite show, regardless of who produced it
See, the only reason I'd consider buying shows is to support them, and unless you're buying jap ones there isn't much point. I guess I'll just stick to figures.
>>112350099
I don't even have a Blu-ray player, so that is basically the only reason I would ever buy anything.
>>112350099
>I don't know about licensing fees
Are we gonna have this argument again? U.S retailers don't get the licenses for free.
>>112350281
>I don't know about licensing fees
I really hope you don't think that's a significant amount at all. It'd be more effective to mail them a bunch of coints.
>>112350366
You're an idiot, but lets not have this conversation yet again.
>>112350418
>You're an idiot
Says the guy who thinks buying localized box sets supports the show in any significant way. I bet you subscribe to crunchyroll too because "licensing fees"
I only buy DVDs if they have a bundle like pic related.
Sadly most others cost about 140€+ over here for a complete series

I got my Cu-Poche homuhomu today.
What a surprisingly good figure. Much better than a regular nendo.
The proportions are much cuter and the magnetic stands are godlike.
>>112351099
Yea no shit. What's one that isn't just a list of links, has been used by anons, and doesn't look like sketch from 1990? Buyee looks nice but according to the links, it's overpriced.
>>112351328
Use the guide.
>>112351151
How do you deal with the joints? It's like having a mini figma and just as disgusting.
>>112351328
>Buyee looks nice but according to the links, it's overpriced.
it's only "overpriced" if you're a poorfag who buys cheap trinkets and needs SAL
when buying 10K+ items and using EMS Buyee is no more overpriced than the rest
tl;dr the guide is no substitute for doing your own research
>>112351328
Nearly all of those have been used at least once by anons. You can't just ask people to tell you what the best one is since it depends on what you're buying, how much is costs, etc.
Start opening those links and read their FAQs.
>>112351328
You better get used to 90's web design if you're buying figures.

>>112351448
>he doesn't like joints

>>112351448
The joints are pretty mediocre but it's not really any worse than a nendo. If you mean how they look, then it's not really that noticeable.
>>112351544
jointmind
>>112351544
Joints on a doll are different from joints on a figure.
Still no release date?
>>112351686
How so? A doll is just a gigantic expensive figma with fabric clothing and realistic hair.
Also, joints mean they can be played with. Which is so much more fun than just looking at them once in a while, and opens up the table to things like pic related.
>>112351686
In what way?
>inb4 RAH is a doll not a figure
>>112351845

Mandarake is trying to charge me 12400 jpy for godoka shipping using DHL. I've emailed them asking to confirm the price for dhl and to list the other shipping options. Surely shipping shouldn't be this much?
>>112352357
It was like 9k shipping EMS to brazil IIRC, where do you live exactly?
>>112352357
>DHL
>Godoka
SHIT NIGGER, yes it is that much, Gosoka box is ungodly huge, hence why it actually stayed in stock a long tiome because people just wouldn't pay that much shipping for one item usually
>>112352241
As synonym for low quality.
The only good joints are hidden joints
>>112352392
I live in the UK. Looks like I'm going to have to change shipping option.
>>112352357
You are shipping a huge box halfway across the planet via priority one methods, which costs money, with registration and tracking, which costs money, and with insurance, which also costs money. Considering the size of Godoka's box, plus the extra size to accommodate padding, it's not that unbelievable a price.
>>112351998
Same here. Waiting for the price goes down on mandarake.

Is amazon an acceptable place to buy older wallscrolls from, specifically a CCS scroll? The guide is kind of scarce on info when it comes to tapestries, as all the info in that sections pertains mainly to getting really nice prints/posters. The prices are actually less than what you'd pay for a regular B2 wallscroll but I've never used regular amazon for buyfagging of any kind, is it safe?
>>112352283

I have a stupid question. Are you supposed to take the figs out of their boxes or hold them in, unopened?
>>112353617
Some people display them, some collect them.
I only display a minor portion of my figs and keep them on rotation every couple months to keep the shelves fresh. The majority stay in the plastic prisons.
>>112353482
It is
>>112353617
You can do either one.
>>112353617
I'd say that the vast majority takes them out of the boxes.
>>112353617
Why would be so cruel as to buy her and keep her locked inside her tiny plastic prison?
She wants to be out in the real world, with you, Anonymous
>>112353617
Free them from their plastic prisons and display them properly if you aren't going to scalp later. There really isn't much reason not to, because their value is mostly in aesthetic appeal, which you should enjoy, seeing as you paid for them. Also, they will sweat plasticizer and get sticky if you keep them sealed up for too long.
>>112353695
Can you refresh me on what makes it so?
>>112353617
Up to personal preference.
I WOULD take them out of their boxes and display them, but I lack the personal or shelf space.
So for now their boxes just gather dust as a mountain.
>>112353482
Not really, Jubilee and X-23 have a close friendship for a while, but it's nothing particularly sexual.
>>112353617
Display them in their boxes of course
>>112353617
It depends.
I've heard that the PVC can deteriorate (over the course of 4-6 years) if you keep them in their boxes, so, provided you take care of them properly, they could last longer then just staying in the boxes
Of course, whats the fucking point of keeping them in a box?
Take them out and play with them or whatever you want to do.

Kirino: A
Box: B
You look like you got bootlegged.
The box was completely fine though. Do they give it a B if its opened automatically?
When you monthly order is only one item, does it make you feel like you have to add a couple cheap things into the mix for some reason?
>>112354259
I'm still puzzled why Amico sent me a box stuffed with paper for my last nendo and not something like this.
>>112354332
I kind of liked them because they didnt have the pins sticking out of the back like the new ones, although, the new bases are a lot better overall
>>112354332
>>112354350
I agree. Its impossible to make them sit on them right.
Ready to steal the limelight....
>>112354350
it's not a bootleg, it's just not a nendo
If it's opened, then they start at B, I think. B could also mean sealed but dented box or something.
>>112354364
Why not just get it sent as a regular order.....
>>112354422

Does Figinstock "restock notifications" alert you if Amiami puts a preowned up?
>>112355867
Which ones?
I have all 3 Araragis.Subs when?
>>112355884
That's not what restock means, no. That's what the pre-owned tab is for.

>>112356000
No bee?
>>112355983
I was hoping maybe it would've covered both bases, but you could also use the preowned for when there wasn't an item page
oh well
Isn't the restock alerts kind of pointless if it's only for new things? Nothing really ever gets rereleases for goes up to back order

Is there a single decent place to buy manga in Australia? Getting tired of having to import all the time and wait 2 weeks for it to arrive.

Nah, Pulp Fiction Comics in RADelaide. I was going to find some prices on their website to show the differences but their website looks like it fell outta the DeLorean on the way to 1992 and does not have a catalogue or search function. It also has sounds for button presses...
I get my mango mostly from Rightstuf or Amazon/Ebay. I don't really read that much though, it's usually just to complement an anime I've watched and enjoyed.

I just purchased this for 45k. Gonna have to eat a mountain of shit to kill the taste in my mouth if re-release happens.
>>112358755
It was stealth re-released a while ago AFAIK.
That Hiei.

For your sake, I hope they don't rerelease it.but I secretly hope they do because I also want her

Summer Comiket ended yesterday and it's normally held in August.

I don't like boatshit but this is neat.

I'd be fine if they re-released with some new version, ie. different paint job or whatever. But if they re-release the exact same thing i'll cry a little. That said, spent a lot more on a lot more shit before, probably won't be the last over-spend or whatever.

I do hope that they do actually re-release this. My god do I want her

I received a PayPal request for my two, but they want... get this: 11,536 yen total. So I'm paying 4500 yen in EMS for two mousepads?
How do I even contact Alicebooks?
So let's say I ordered something that gets released in December. Two months later they put up something that also gets released in December. How does goodsmile ship it out? Especially considering some orders have some of the December stuff ordered with shit that comes out, say, February? Do they automatically bundle or would I have to wait?
>>112358908
>?????????????? ??????????????????????????
And then I'm like, fuck you. They should do this shit using recent crap I can actually find rather than old shit.
Finally arrived

Cute cat.
>>112360831
>>112360928
Is that 1.6?
>>112360928
whats the scale on the cat
>>112361055
It seems to be the cat from that Nanoha episode, which would make it something like 1/20.
>>112361030
Yeah, one of the few games I still play.
>>112361055
1.5:2
She's pretty small for her breed.

I need to get back into that myself. Source and GO just aren't the same. Whenever I see GO tournaments I'm always questioning what they've done to the maps (inferno, militia etc).
>>112361199
I really dislike GO too (source to a lesser extent), it's hard to find people to play competitive games with nowadays on 1.6 but I still have a couple friends that I just play with on pubs.
>>112361199
Valve improved many of the maps and GO is easily the definitive version of CSso far.
>>112361355
Yeah, no.
>>112354394
I swear her oppai get bigger with every picture I see. They are WAY too big in this figure. Disgustingly big. They look like a sideways balloon in this picture specifically though.
>>112350798
How much for the Tharja?
>>112361403
Yeah, yes.
Stop being a jaded faggot and just accept the truth.
>>112361403
I can strongly attest to >>112361355 and I only very lightly played GO for a short amount of time.
>>112348978
Not really. It looks like shit and is using the same pose of the superior GSC scale. There is literally no reason for someone to buy this outside of completionist autism.
>>112348978
This looks worse than the pajama Saber and the one from alphamax and those are still in stock. Yes, it will sell, but not good and there is no reason at all for this disgusting shit to sell out
>>112358755
You told us yesterday, we didn't care, and still don't care for mikushit.
>>112362094
I care.
