God damn the yen. Stop recovering and just plummet already.

There is no real reason for the yen to so high, can't wait for it to crash to at least 120yen per dollar where it belongs.

Go to japan in august and win her from a crane game.

Subscribe to the comments on her MFC page to see if anyone bothers to post a link if a store puts up orders for her. Pre-ordering prize figures isn't something that most people keep track of. I don't even know if they consistently go up. Amico won't have them. BiJ had the pochaco noodle stopper but that was a different manufacturer. She may not show up until you see her at YAJ, mandarake or Amico preowned section.

I ordered from Amiami and didn't realize until after completing the order that the quantity of the figure somehow got entered as two instead of one. What are the chances they'll change it back to one or cancel it for me if I ask them right away? This only happened about five minutes ago.

Please make it stop.

When we were at 108 in 2013, Nendoroids were still 2900 yen and figma were still 3800. There was a huge boom of new buyfags when the yen suddenly got a burst of strength. You can see how many new US based stores popped up since then.

Now that a single figma is 5200, these prices are currently 30% more than they were in 2013. Due to shipping costs we are paying a little bit more than Japanese are. The Japanese market has been shrinking since 2013 because of rising costs. It suggests that in the future, unless things change, the US and Chinese markets might stop growing.

At this point it is now cheaper to buy from US sellers and shortly their prices will increase. I hope you've saved your Amiami cancellations and are prepared to order from the jews, because their prices are about to be very competitive if the dollar drops any more.

The ride is coming to and end it seems.
>>
>>139733160
For figures that are already locked in at a certain price by re-sellers, US redistributors are already competitive.

I bought Nico Yazawa from Crunchyroll for the same price that it would be to buy from directly from Dengekiya, even though the pound is shit against the yen and the dollar. (though to be fair, you can't actually buy from Dengekiya without a Japanese card).

The worst part is that now figure prices have gone up, they're already as expensive as they were post 2008 (i.e. when the pound hit 120) but that was AFTER the last economic storm. The next one hasn't even kicked off and things are already as shitty.
>>
>>139733160

It's got to come down soon, I don't think it was Abe's plan to inflate the yen so much.
>>
>>139729570
Mr clean magic eraser.
Im not kidding, just be careful with it.
>>
>>139733673
It was definitely Abe's plan. They needed to inflate it even more and inflate it for even longer than this. This deflation is a failure. They wanted to increase exports, probably until 2020. What do you think Cool Japan was all about? They spent billions on it.

Look at how many new buyfags there are. When it was 124:1 dollar I'm sure there were plenty of new people looking at that Kill la Kill Nendoroid and thinking, "I want to buy that and it's only $35." Now that Nendoroids are $50 do you think they'll stick around or that new people will join up? Really doubt it.

As soon as the yen dropped to 119 I bought all the figures I had been eyeing up. It was definitely not their intention for the yen to drop back down and this is uncontrolled right now.

So, how many of you have your cases floating in the middle of the floor? It sounds like a bad idea but I'm trying to work some new furniture into my room but due to fuckhuge closets I don't have a ton of wall space for even a Detolf. It seems my options are to place my plastic butts (unlit, even) smack in the middle of the room or put up some wall shelving, but I don't want to do that since I'm in a rental. What do?
>>
>>139733963

I know shit all about economics, but I thought if you wanted to increase exports you deflated your currency so it's cheaper to buy into. That's the opposite of what's happening now.
>>
>>139734501
stick them up your butt or move to a bigger place

How does one properly light an anal cavity? More seriously, the place is a decent size, only configured oddly. I think I'm just going to have to get some wall shelving made that will span from stud to stud so I at least don't have to use drywall anchors that leave holes to put Junji Ito to shame.

>Many said the U.S. dollar would rise against the Japanese yen this year. Instead it has fallen, baffling investors and leading to fierce speculation on when it could reverse.

>The dollar dropped below ¥110 on Wednesday for the first time since 2014 after rising above ¥125 in June. It’s down 8.3% this year through Tuesday, compared with a 4.6% fall against the euro. That’s despite a decision by the Bank of Japan to adopt negative interest rates this year, which was aimed in part at trying to weaken the currency.

>Many say a stronger Japanese yen makes it more difficult for the country’s exporters to stay competitive and makes it difficult for economic stimulus measures to have their desired effect. The Nikkei 225 index is down 8.3% over the last seven trading days.

>Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told The Wall Street Journal that countries should avoid competitive currency devaluations, saying “I think we should refrain from arbitrary intervention in currency markets.”

I don't disagree, the earlier volumes hold up a lot better as a self-parody of dark fantasy, and I think even he admitted the last few volumes were a jumbled, incomprehensible mess. Probably why I like the idea of redraws (I'm also a sucker for reissues of old games I like). Though the last volumes did have one or two charming scenes with Gara, Arshes Nei and Kall-su, the rest of the fighting between DS and the Archangels or whatever was a mess.

>>139739780

Early volumes hold up pretty well, especially if you enjoy the fourth-wall breaking comedy, psuedo-science, and fantasy generally not taking itself too seriously. Then again, I still think seeing Arshes chrew out Gara for whatever stupid shit he gets into his muscle brain is funny after all these years, so I'm biased.

I've sold some stuff here and on MFC. I haven't ran into any problems yet.

Speaking of, I'm selling this stuff.

The postcards at the top are 100 yen each.
The bookmarks are 50 yen each.
The sticker at the top right is 100 yen.
The cards at the bottom are 50 yen each.

I also have this stuff, but the prices aren't organised yet: http://myfigurecollection.net/list/32191

I'll shit anywhere as long as it's not some shithole where the package will vanish.

Question. I pre-ordered pic related back in November. Since then, the release has been delayed twice: originally it was supposed to release in February, was then delayed to "end of April" and now has been delayed again to "end of May".

Is this indicative of quality issues? Has anyone heard anything about this fig having problems?

MFC is okay. Biggest problem I've run into is people not responding after shipping quotes or a message asking if they're still interested. I never get why the do it either.

/a/ and /toy/ are alright if you want to sell fast and cheap.

eBay is great for mainstream stuff, but a bit shit for non-mainstream stuff. Fees might not be worth it if you just have cheap stuff (straps, gashapon, etc.) unless you're selling popular characters for a decent price.

No. Original release dates are loose as fuck in Japan. Just means they were being produced slower than anticipated.

Remember, all those figures need to get their cow tits hand painted by a Chinese woman. That shit takes time.

He's making assumptions. It's pretty obvious from the reveal that Nero will be the central character. So from that you wouldn't expect much Tamamo given how the main servants work in Extra, but she may have a cameo.

And who knows Tamamo is in the Fate/Extella game which looks to be getting a english release even.
>>
>>139749842
She doesn't have a release date yet, just "April". So either that anon got their orders mixed up or they bought a bootleg.

The polite thing to do would be to tell the person you're either buying from or selling to that you're not interested anymore or that you have a better offer, rather than leaving them hanging on a potential sale or buy.

As a seller, what >>139750729 said is true. It also makes me hesitate to do business with a person in the future, and they certainly go on the bottom of the list if I get multiple offers for a sought after item.
I do understand it's a pain, but it's nice to seller or buyer. At least they don't get their hopes up that they've made a sale/purchase.
>>
>>139750729
>>139751182
>it's the polite thing to do
Nah, I'm good.

They'll figure it out. The majority of time mfc listings are shit anyway.

It's not like you can't have multiple accounts on mfc for those spazs who think they're actually running a storefront.

Additionally, people think it's some huge effort to trade, quote, pack, etc. I've been selling on ebay and craigslist for a long time and some people really have no concept of what goes into the most basic selling practices.

Is sizing usually all over the place when it comes to different companies? Some of my 1/7 look to scale with my 1/8 alters or just as big as my 1/6 dolls. I don't understand.
>>
>>139752861
I paid 4k shipping for a 1/4 by itself this week.
>>
>>139752861
Although because you have two 1/4 figures, you might be forced to use SAL Parcel or EMS instead of SAL Small Packet, both of which are usually a bit more expensive

The only 1/4 I've ever bought I shipped via EMS so I'm afraid I can't say how much shipping would cost.
