Where to buy
>GSC Online Shop - some figmas only are available through their online shop
>Amiami - usual place for buying, to some people, shipping is a bit higher due to packaging
>Hobby Link Japan shipping is usual lower, but their prices are a bit higher, private warehaouse is available
>Hobby Search Japan - items stay in stock the longest
>Mandarake - search figma or フィグマ
>eBay/Amazon - only if you hate having too much money. Avoid bootlegs, you can spot them as 'Chinese version'
>Check the BST threads, My Figure Collection for any offer/deal

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.

You mean THIS year? Next year 2017 is like another 11+ months.
As for hope: GSC & MF stop jewing us with exclusives & BS.
>>5384431
>You mean THIS year?
Yeah, I was to mean for this year, but a made a type there, sorry M8
Figma Tank equals Wallet Rape.
>>5384430
I'm really hoping the new tank doesn't cost much more than the previous.
I just want that Senjougahara FigFix
>>5384501
Uses 50% more plastic so is gonna cost 30.000 yens at least
Jackie Chan.
I'm half joking. Realistically, an announcement on the production of Battle City Seto Kaiba,
>>5384427
>What are your figma-related hopes for next year 2016?
Hoping for the Zero-Suit Samus fig this year.
>>5384429
What is that figure in the unpainted prototype section? Top row, second from the left.

I'm hoping for Femto to be released and a Lancer figma.
>>5384549
Same.
>>5384427
>What are your figma-related hopes for next year 2016?
My pipe dream is that the announcement of Strike Witches season 3 will show that it follows a group other than the 501st, so we get nendos and figmas of a whole other wing. I don't want to need to start getting statues.

I'm hoping for Syaoran to be made into a figma, any costume will do!
I wanna see prototypes of the MKR girls, ZSS and DMG next month on Winter Wonfes.
>>5385070
I just don't get it, Chris's gear weaponry already a copy from Kos-Mos heavy guns, it should be dead simple to make her, and if interest was dead it wouldn't have 2 additional series with even more characters, could've easily done a re-release of hibiki and rake in the dough.
You can't keep that ass mold hostage forever!!
Does anyone know when the Saitama Figma is gonna be released?
>>5384427
>hopes for 2016
out of those that were announced:
archetypes 2.0
Samus Zero
Rayearth girls
Saitama
DRRR guys
out of those that might happen:
Celty
Genos
out of those that I think can maaaaaybe happen:
MGS2 Raiden
the rest of my wishlist will never happen
>>5384428
>Still no Femto release date
Come on, I'm not incredibly into Figma but I've been waiting for him forever.
>>5385161
Maybe they'll announce his release this Winter WF seeing the Berserk anime to getting some interest.
>>5385152
Raiden with the HF blade is a must but I'm afraid of what GSC will cut to make an exclusive.
>>5384427

>>5385182
I have a couple of 1/12 katanas lying around, I'd rather modify one of them than pay stupid money for a GSC exclusive
so far there has been only one time when I was tempted by a GSC bonus: Satsuki... and in the end I didn't buy even the regular release
what I'm saying is that GSC would have to try very hard to make me pay extra
>>5385182
I'm not even into Berserk and don't plan on starting it, but goddamn I'm tempted on these guys for their designs alone
>>5385161

Yeah, I'm hopping for an announcement for this comming Wonfes and the new Berserk anime on the works

And of course, NO MORE online exclusive bonuses bullshit
Got my Guyver and there's a spot on his left eye. It's annoying the shit out of me man. Why do Figmas always have this one QC flaw that just pisses you off?

Do you mean MGS1 Snake as in low poly Snake?

I want to start a strike witches collection but I heard that it's a huge hit and miss with all of them
>>5384427
Hopes?
Finish the Vividred characters so I don't have just 2 all by themselves.
More Bikini figmas.
>>5385792
lol vividred is done dude, sold like crap and show was garbage. No sense to go back to that property.
>>5385808
I know man. I just hate unfinished toy series. I'm a completionist.
>>5385230
>Shilling exclusive bonuses tactics by Good Goy Company/Max Faggotry
>>5385836
You must hate this line then
>>5385840
I think it's the fact that GSC won't drop the exclusive platform anytime soon even though that was what Figmoe wished for.
Shit sucks but I doubt they would drop it if they can squeak out sales from taking some accessory or face that a collector would go mad for on their store.
>>5385845
With a fucking passion.
Maybe Meiko will happen this year?
I don't expect her since there's not even a prototype, but I can hope!
I've been waiting for a meiko figma for fucking ever.
>>5385840
Stating a fact is shilling. Sure, mate. The fact is that not only they won't drop it, but it will become the norm (if it already isn't - I don't follow every figma release). Bandai is doing the same, though their version is even worse, as their exclusive figures and kits don't have a regular versions.
>>5385879
Fucking bandai webshop exclusives
>>5385887
Yeah. Fucking Gundam Front Tokyo exclusives, too.
>>5385871
Don't care much about her, but I'm gonna get her in the hopes that it'll get some other vocaloids made.
I'm ordering a Ninja Slayer pre owned off ami ami and I'm wondering if anyone has any experiencing ordering pre owned items. Did you get all the supposed contents and was the figure in decent condition?
Also what's the usual shipping charge to the U.S.? I've never ordered from ami ami, but their prices are awesome.
>>5385343
if only for the "I don't want no trouble." memes I could make with it.
>>5386044
They usually go by grade in condition like A and B but usually those are near prestine in condition and everything is in box. Condition wise a lot of my AmiAmi pre owned Figmas came in really good condition.
>>5386052
Cool! And they're shipping prices aren't too outrageous right?
>>5386074
It's not too bad but it varies by what shipping option you go for. Not quite sure on the exact rate for RSAL-EMS though for a single Figma since I usually go by monthly packages with other orders.
Just expect a lot of paper from time to time.
>>5385213
I want MGS3 Naked Snake, but I doubt they'll make any more MGS figmas after the gurlukovich soldier.
>>5386080
Awesome. Thanks a lot!
I just went with their unregistered SAL shipping because I read that it's their cheapest option. I'm pretty patient when it comes to my figures.
>>5386148
I would personally go for RSAL just for the tracking number for piece of mind but it works. If you're in the US it should take a few weeks.
At best, the fastest I've gotten was 2 weeks.

I think SHF would be better for the Geahs anyways, despite their history with animu faces. Bandai would throw in more accessories, that's for sure.
>>5386418
Why does Miho have an eye patch? Is she Punished Nishizumi?
>>5386418
Best mod I've seen so far especially the engine sound and turrent movement noises were awesome.
P.S. Why is cute fluff a gorilla?
Just ordered motoko from mandarake . What am I in for? A few of you recommended her to me.
So it seems like GSC/MF starts the new year by giving us a "FUCK YOU!". Remember that figma kiddie Link? This is how they're going to jew us:
1. Bare-bone regular release; comes with his sword & shield and only one interchangeable faceplate: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/198376#tab/official/date/8/1
2. DX "Regular" Edition release; comes with..... see for yourself: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/386687#tab/official/date/8/1
I'm officially done with figma.
FUCK YOU BACK GSC/MF!
>>5386927
The dx isn't exclusive is it?
>>5386927
Wow, I didn't even expect that many accessories. I don't mind paying a little more for that.
>>5386931
It is, like GSO Shop Full Jew Price type of exclusive. And why not make ALL his signature accessories as exclusive? Be glad that the regular edition comes with the sword & shield, and oh..... 1 optional face plate! How fucking generous, for 4,500+ yen.
>>5386927
I wonder how /v/-tards are going to take this into their ass. Proper fuck?
>>5386927
I'm OK with this. I liked the sculpt but I lost interest a bit when I saw it painted, so this stupid bullshit just made up my mind that I'm not gonna bother getting it at all.
>>5386927
DX at 5556 yen......damn thing is cheaper than say Mio Sakamoto from Strike Witches at 7000 yen with an extra face, I don't know what the fuck you are complaining about.
>>5386927
>fans want a Link action figure for years
>this happens and now nobody wants it

>>5386927
>only widening the gap between poorfags and people with a job
ftfy
is ordering from good smile an easy process or do i need a proxy?
>>5386591
You can't blame MF for your ham hands
>>5386927
The difference in price wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for their forced 2k EMS shipping. Either way, I'm done. Shit isn't worth it..
>>5387057
GSC's online flat rate of 2000 yen shipping. That's usually what turns people off. Personally I find this bullshit because this is gonna be one of those popular releases they'll re release 30 times and they know that, yet they choose to make the DX version exclusive.
>>5386805
A lack of accessories and an extra pair of boobs.
>>5386927
LOL! Next up: figma Zero Suit Samus; regular ver. comes with B size boobs part, exclusive ver. comes with DD size boobs part. Both will cost 6000 yen & 9000 respectively, due to advanced ass & tits tech.
>>5387162
Fucking right. These clowns at GSC/MF sure know how to piss off a fan base. I hate seeing how there prices are steadily rising and as far as I know this is the biggest "exclusive" jewing yet.
You guys think they might be doing this because they are tired of everyone going to other sites for POs and kinds forcing us into the GSC site?
On the other hand there are many other figmas that came with less and cost more.
Personally I think kid link shows a lot of character and can't wait to have all those goodies.
![c09a70f333341ee5aadc060b8d4a9668[1].jpg_4623993.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/otwUNib.jpg "c09a70f333341ee5aadc060b8d4a9668[1].jpg_4623993.jpg")
>>5387162
As a connoisseur of ginormous tits(read: boobs bigger than the head) I would gladly pay any amount for a "DX" version of her if such thing exist.
Kidding aside, I can't think of any accessory they can make as a GSC exclusive, maybe a small baby metroid in a capsule perhaps?
>>5386927
Does the DX version includes the sword and the shield?
>>5386974
>>5387057
There's GSC's flat shipping rate (and you just *know* that an EMS package is gonna get caught by customs), and for some overseas figya collectors the exchange rates of yen and dollar are pretty fucking brutal right now, too. So, you can easily be a poorfag collector while having a normal job.
>>5387162
I'd like that. Nice smaller boobs and more money stays in my pocket.
>>5387182
>These clowns at GSC/MF sure know how to piss off a fan base
Don't buy it lol
>>5387209
>Does the DX version includes the sword and the shield?
No, you have to buy the regular ver. just for the sword, shield, & a face plate. To get the other half of stuffs and complete the set, you need the other DX ver as well. :p
>>5387255
WHAT????? WHY WOULD NINTENDO DO THAT TO US THE TRUE FANBAE THEY PUISS IN OUR FACES TIME AND TIME AGAIN THIS IS UNFAARIIR
>>5387240
>Don't buy it lol
I won't. But will I bitch about this? Why the fuck not? LOL!
>>5387261

>>5386927
The official blog is updated: http://ameblo.jp/figma/entry-12110046760.html
I'm confused, can someone clear this up for me?
What's so bad about ordering from GSC?
Yes you have the 2000 jpy shipping fee...
But it would be, what, maybe 1200 yen less on Amiami?
So what, you save like 10 bucks, but you miss out on all these fucking cool items.
Plus, if you just preorder multiple things from Goodsmile, then you win out. If one gets delayed they will still ship your items out on time. So if you buy 2 things and the shipping is 2000 jpy itll really only be 1000 jpy per item.
>>5387294
Good Smile should cateer to us true fans and not widen the gap between poorfags and people with actual jobs who don't have enough time for lurking bazinga image boards
>>5387286
Pre-order starts TOMORROW (8th; GMT+9), so whatever beef you guys have with this, sort it out by then..... or not.
>>5387297
If you think that people with jobs can't be poorfags, you're an idiot.
>>5387302
Lets just complain about it more.
Any chances Saber 2.0 gets a re-release? Or should I get the aftermarket price?
>>5386927
I really like this one and my main problem with SS Link was the lack of accessories so I just might take the overpriced exclusive. Still think it's bullshit making multiple accessories exclusive their shop when most of these were essential to a regular release.
>>5387318
I'm sorry but are you GSC? No? Then you clearly don't understand why this is a genius marketing move to keep unappreciative gaijins out who asked for replacements because they 'lost' a part like the hamhand poorfags they are.
>>5387294
Can you really combine stuff there? Last time I checked that fee was per item.
>>5387331
I was completely unsure going into it, when I ordered Megaman and Kirby together.
This is from the email I got last night:
"In the event that the items in your order have multiple release dates, payment will be processed and items sent as they become in stock. All additional shipping fees associated with splitting your order into multiple shipments will be covered by GSC."
I then got a invoice for 2000 shipping for my Megaman. So, I ASSUME that the Kirby will have 0 shipping...? I'll have to see, but that is what they said in this e-mail I believe...
Not sure how it works exactly though but yep.
>>5387330
Buttfucking costumers is not marketing genius. They will squeeze some money out of few costumers, but the regular version will most likely under perform.
The original sold well enough an was reissued plenty of times because it was the only option, here people will avoid the barebones version like the plague and not necessarily be willing to pay extra for what should've been the basic version.
This only damages their image. Before you would never expect multiple integral items to be jewed into their store now you will be second guessing every announcement. They went to far thinking this shit is alright.
Next thing you know and you'll have to use GSC site to get a second faceplate and alt hands at all.
>>5387374
somebody better call the WHAAAAAMbulance
>>5387374
/v/ loves the dlc stragery of selling games so maybe there will be a season pass for /v/-kuns to buy and get exclusive add-on bundles increasing the value of the barebones link later on.
>>5387378
It's fine, anon. I hope you can justify paying twice as much as you'd do for a high quality scale in a few months. Soon a simple figma with a handful of accessories for 26,000 JPY. What a time to be alive! GSC can do no wrong!
>>5387382
>but /v/
They start with Link and move to your favorite anime schoolgirl, anon. Keep thinking other characters are safe from Greedy Smile Company grorious business practices.
>>5386616
>Why does Miho have an eye patch? Is she Punished Nishizumi?
I liked how she looked with the patch, maybe I will try to make her one to looks like a special eye visor
>>5386801
>Why is cute fluff a gorilla?
IDK, maybe is a reference to one of the characters in the latest MGS Game as Miho kind of looks like Big Boss, but don't quote me on that
>>5386927
Damn!, I'm glad that I'm not a big fan of Zelda games or I would be really pissed
But nonetheless this is a good example of the fucking jewtactics I have been complaining about lately, I knoe that many don't give a fuck about Link or this version of Link, but just imagine if MF announces a character that you really want and they do this again, way to shit on consumers IMHO
>>5386971
>>5387057
The main point is GSC's tactic of coercing you of buy from their online shop for full price + EMS shipping, whereas you usually can get the same figure in Amico with discount (cheaper) and you can choose the type of shipping that you like as anon in >>5387237 have pointed out
This thread is infectious. Just look at the Nintendo General thread on this board.
Did she get released yet?
>>5387418
Yeah, two weeks ago. Sold out on most sites, now.
Check Mandarake
>>5387418
Is the tamasii nations version any better? found one for 30 on Amazon and I might just settle for that instead
>>5387476
That one comes with exclusive items that the regular one doesn't come with. 30 bucks is pretty good, I may scoop one up for myself.
>>5385209
>IM@S CG Anastasia
yes
>>5387484
This would be my first tamasii nations fig, is the articulation better or the same as the figma?
>>5387492
Better
>>5387492
About the same, no chest joint if I recall. Be careful with the longer sword, I accidently snapped the hilt off mine.

>>5386927
>less than $9 difference between versions
>this much assblastedness
Jesus Christ, maybe if you people had jobs this wouldn't seem like the end of the world.
>>5387550
Do you fap to your "huehue jobs" argument or something? Also it's not a $9 difference. Did you even read the posts in this thread?
>>5387572
It's not really an "argument" when all of you unemployed poorfags are making it pretty clear that you're upset that your welfare checks can't go towards your toys. The retail difference between the releases is less than $9, and if that breaks the bank for you maybe it's time you start looking into buying Hasbro shit or something.
>>5387598
Yup, you're an idiot. And you clearly write these posts one-handed. Oh well, not gonna feed the troll any further.
>>5387057
figma quality doesn't justify that price.
>>5386927
They did this shit with Iron Man like, two years ago and you didn't care because he isn't a /v/ meme character.
They've been doing this Jewish bullshit for a while now. Link isn't the first one.
>>5387617
True, but the fact that it isn't the first time doesn't make it less disappointing.
Also, do I understand well that DX Link doesn't come with the sword and the shield? If yes, then that makes it three times more assholeish, since it basically means that you should buy two Links. You sure as hell didn't have to do that with Iron Man.
>>5386927
>I'm officially done with figma.
Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why Figmas have exclusive parts so much more consistently compared to Nendoroids? Does the Nendo target audience just not care about exclusives compared to the more 'serious' Figma collectors?
>>5387621
>Also, do I understand well that DX Link doesn't come with the sword and the shield?
>Believing this bullshit
Just how gullible can someone be?
>>5387621
Wait, what? I didn't noticed that.
HOLY CRAP.
>>5387630
Well, I'm going by the official photos of two figures I haven't seen before today, since I'm not a Zelda fan, hence my question. You know, the thing with a "?" mark at the end.
>>5387627
Maybe it's because, from what I've seen, Nendo collectors will enthusiastically buy almost every release by default?
>>5387621
It is starting to get out of hand with some of these Japanese toy companies, honestly.
Bandai is kind of doing the same crap with the Figuarts line. Or at least, they're doing stupid shit on occasion, like with the Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper.
There was a standard release that came with the one blaster (even though pretty much every other toy of the FO troopers came with a blaster and a pistol) for like, 5000Y, or something. But it didn't come with the shield and baton that are also prominently shown in the movie and on other figures.
You have to buy an exclusive version of the figure for an additional 2000Y just to get the shield and baton. And guess what? The exclusive version doesn't even come with the blaster that the standard version comes with.
Its just a bunch of fuckery to get you to buy special versions of figures (or) multiple versions of the same figure (or) buy exclusively through their special online shops.
>>5387643
Yeah. To be honest, Bandai's antics are way more infuriating, since so far every GSC bonus has been an easy pass for me. Plus lately the quality of Bandai's exclusives is shitty.
>>5387641
And people buy figmas less often so they need to justify charging as much as possible for each release? That makes sense, especially with some of the Nendo collections I see compared to Figmas.
I was thinking (at the risk of starting an argument here) that it was because Nendoroids are geared towards more casual collectors while Figmas tend to be the more serious weebs.
>>5387653
Well, no argument from me. I think you summed it up pretty well.
>m-my happy meal toy quality accessoried aren't included
>>5387617
This is a bit different because they already know that link will sell in boatloads, not to mention this release has been postponed for a long time.
Iron Man is pretty popular too, yeah, but there's no way they pulled that shit in the past without getting backlash, and the crowd for link is easily 2 or 3 times bigger since even people who don't collect figs want him. Apparently they just hate oversea sales apparently.
>>5387693
It still seems that, for the most part, Japanese toy companies still don't give a flying fuck about filthy gaijins who collect plastic crap from the Land of the Rising Sun. I don't think that's ever going to change, at least not much.
My Ryuko's left thigh joint is possibly on too tight, limiting how much it can swivel.
Should I try loosening it or will it snap?
>>5385209
You never know, they might reissue Black Swordsman Guts since ThreeZero is releasing a 1/6 scale figure
>>5387721
Hot water, fucking put her in hot water for a w minutes and move it around
DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE YOU STUPID FAGLORD CUNT
>>5387721
As lont as you don't force anything it should be alright
So is the DX Link going to be available at Amiami like the DX Iron man?
From GSC's Facebook page:
>But to clear the air from some rumors. The DX Version is exclusive to Good Smile Company's Online Shop ONLY IN JAPAN. The DX version WILL BE AVAILABLE TO INTERNATIONAL SHOPS AND PARTNER SHOPS. So if you are in Japan, you can only order him from our online shop, outside of Japan, you can order from various international shops!
>>5387745
Since it's a Japanese site, no.
>>5387761
Okay, that's not even irrititating, that's just stupid. Who will buy the regular version, then?
>>5387761
>international shops
Great, like BBTS who will increase the price even more?
>>5387761
>The DX Version is exclusive to Good Smile Company's Online Shop ONLY IN JAPAN.
AHAHAHAHAHA! Now not even filthy gaijins can get their hands on it through their official online shop! Enjoy the mark-up proxies! Fuck yeah! Loving ow Max Faggotory fucking us in every crevices!
>>5386927
so the DX version comes with a bomb, hookshoot, a pot a rupee and a seashell?
it looks like it doesn't have extra faceplates right?
if that's so, well i can get that on my own so i'm not going to follow this jewery, in fact i'm trying to make a hookshot too. looks like i have to anyway
i will get the regular version, max faggotry can suck it with its DX version
>>5387778
No anon, they can get it, but if you live in japan you can only get the DX version from the GSC online shop. Try reading a post fully before posting
>>5387761
>WILL BE AVAILABLE TO INTERNATIONAL SHOPS AND PARTNER SHOPS
well that's better, i hope whatever distrubuitor that gets it doesn't buttfuck me with their shipping prices to this third world shithole
oh who am i'm saying, they will
>>5387751
Wtf r u talking about? U tell us, is it fucked?
Some people...
>>5387774
At the risk of sounding like a shill, try TOM. They have free shipping a lot of the time, and with their constant coupons, they're surprisingly close to ami's prices.
>>5387782
>looks like i have to anyway
Huh?
No, it doesn't look like you have to, it clearly looks like you WANT to.
There IS a fucking difference.
Also, that is cool if you are trying to make your own shit. Just know that it won't look as good, but don't let that stop you.
>>5387761
Oh so it'll be affordable on Amazon just like Skyward Sword Link
>>5387799
I imagine most people like me enjoy their figures on time, otherwise, use TOM.
The only thing I want to understand about Link is: The DX version will also have the Sword and Shield or not?
>>5387788
yeah, like..... 99% of international buyers live in japan? did you even know what you're typing?
UPDATE: "You can order the DX from our online shop, or from any international shops, you won't be able to order from a Japanese based retailer such as Amiami."
>>5387259
So what? Nintendo fans will still eat up whatever shit they shovel at them and sperg out on you if you let them know it's shit.
>>5387809
>The DX version will also have the Sword and Shield or not?
Holy shit, this is baffling. How can you believe they will not include the fucking sword and shield on the DX version?
Yes, it includes the sword and the shield. I feel like a retard for having to write something so obvious.
Seriously, use your common sense next time.
Since AmiAmi is not an option... where the fuck do you order the DX version from?
>>5387820
For DX:
If Country = Japan, GSC Store only.
If Country = Other, GSC Store or international (non-Japanese retailers excluding GSC) shops like Amazon.com
>>5387827
We are talking about fucking Link, not random army builder guys like the Stormtroopers.
Releasing the regular Stormtrooper without baton and shield and the riot Stormtrooper without blaster is a dick move but makes sense. In the other hand, releasing Link without his sword and shield is beyond retarded.
>>5387823
I was asking about non-japs shops since I mostly order from AmiAmi and I'm not in the US, so sites such as Amazon may not ship to my country.
>see this
>want it because shes cute
>looks like a ship
I know nothing about this series. Is it good?
>>5387836
You can still order from GSC even if you're not in Japan.
>>5387835
GSC is fucking retarded. I don't doubt anything.
>>5387643
Really that has only happened with the FO Sto Trooper so far. Can't think of another time it was done by them.
Like if Bandai did LoZ it probably would have been done in the same way as Fourze, Wizard, Super Mario, Mashin Chaser, etc.. They wouldn't do a DX version, the items would be their own release.
That I find that more manageable since Link could get a regular release on sites like Amiami. So you get the price a DX version would have cut from taking the figure out and would get the base figure with discounts from the usual sites. If they could get Bluefin to regular release the inventory set(s) (if the inventory sets were to be exclusives), that would be even better.
>>5387847
>GSC is fucking retarded. I don't doubt anything.
Not as retarded as the people actually believing that they will release a Link figure without his sword and shield.
If people want the jap exclusive why not just use a middleman service if it's that serious?
>>5387838
It mostly exists so you can enjoy the cute girls, so if you want it because she's cute, that's good enough
>>5387761
Oh, neat. I'll probably give in and get the DX figure then. Zelda items and gear just bring up too many good memories. But yeah, they're really pushing people limits on this exclusive BS. So by "tomorrow" does that mean it'll be up for preorder tonight?
>>5387838
I don't know about the game since I've never touched it. She's the main character of the anime and it's...alright? It was a little too much mediocre SOL for me, but some of the battle scenes were cool. If it helps, I did actually kind of want a figure of her immediately after watching the show, but that desire has kind of worn off by now. I'd still kill for any of the enemy ships.
I recently learned how easy it is to get fedex to throw out the bullshit admin fees they add on when importing a package to the UK.
Thought I'd forward the tip. Every penny counts!
>>5387874
>>5387874
I'm dumb, can you explain what is going on here?
I ordered a Revoltech figure from AmiAmi last year (my first ever Jap import) and I got charged TWENTY FUCKING QUID in fees, from Parcelforce and Customs.
I want to know how to avoid this in future.
>>5386927
still fucking love the design. Hopefully someone gets the hint and makes all future games look like THIS and not that gross toon link crap. This is how you fucking stylize. This, or a chibi version of this. no pumpkin heads with ape arms and muppet faces
>>5387881
Just copy & paste the portion of his message at the bottom.
>>5387838
It would be nice if the boat parts we're removable.
I'm really looking forward to the Prinz Eugen figma, I'm assuming her boat parts are removable, looks like they should be.. http://myfigurecollection.net/item/331527
>>5387891
How did his package end up in Fedex's hands in the first place? Aren't Parcelforce the ones who usually rape you with their admin fee?
>>5387838
she's a good ship, an anti-aircraft boat in one of my fleets but I just sorta like her. not enough for a figure
>>5387892
Just buy any cheap generic school girl figma and swap the legs. Problem solved.
>>5387881
It works with fedex, just dispute the charge on the invoice and they remove it.
Parcelforce aren't having any of it, they basically told me "tough shit" when I tried it with them. And unlike fedex, PF hold the package ransom most of the time so you're forced to pay up.
Fun story though: a while back they delivered my order before sending the ransom letter so they're never getting that £40.
>>5387892
Oh, Fubuki doesn't get extra legs, I thought she would, since Kitakami sisters did.
>>5387893
It sometimes varies who delivers the package. I Think it was a HLJ order, maybe sal or something.
>>5387902
>It works with fedex, just dispute the charge on the invoice and they remove it.
How do I make sure Fedex handles my package? (no homo)
>Parcelforce aren't having any of it, they basically told me "tough shit" when I tried it with them.
That's what happened to me, they basically said 'pay the £13.50 fee or we're sending it back to Japan'
>And unlike fedex, PF hold the package ransom most of the time so you're forced to pay up.
Also this. Parcelforce are fucking scum.
And here things start to get interesting..
And thats not even all he comes with..
Booyaah!
And were not even counting his pre-order bonus here.
buuuuut i dont really care about it that much really either.
>>5387955
>How do I make sure Fedex handles my package?
I don't think you can choose.
>>5388002
so this is the 2nd version?
>>5388011
no sword sheath either.
>>5388016
yeah this link will look really great fighting with a > : | face
>hurr
>>5387881
>I want to know how to avoid this in future.
Never ship EMS to the UK.
RSAL pretty much always goes through the Royal Mail. If you do by chance end up getting charged, its a much lower fee.
>>5388020
He never looked good with a >:0 face either.
>>5387617
With IM you had decent alternatives. With Link there's only Jakks (heh), the old one or the Nendos. And they aren't even for this version.
i'm German. where can i preorder the DX version?
>>5387761
That's good for all the US folks I guess. International shipping from Amazon and the likes is even more stupid. Costs more than usual and they charge taxes in advance. Hopefully I'll be able to find a decent alternative.
>>5388036
we don't know yet
>>5388022
I don't think we've even seen this link with an open mouth face that isn't happy anyway, so doing one without reference would probably look odd
It looks like they did the faces based on the official art
comparing pic related to this>>5387980
>>5388036
If you can order from GSC Shop, there's that.
>>5387899
I'm gonna do this. Just gotta find one with legs that look good.
>>5388014
Well that is accurate because this Link doesn't have one.
Makes more sense too when you think about it. I mean, where the fuck do those Links get those fancy scabbards? They just appear.
>>5386927
>It will be regularly available international via retailers, Good Smile Partner Shops and the english Good Smile Online Shop.
Can none of you retards read? This is actually perfect. If every online bonus was done this way I'd be satisfied.
>>5388214
Same, i hope they do this in the future. I don't mind cheaper figures since i don't use half the accessories that come with them.
>>5388214
Why are you happy that 3rd party retailers are going to mark up the price?
>>5388303
GSC already marks up the price with their shipping. Doing it this way makes it possible to find lower prices, and avoid customs.
If you don't like it feel free to buy the normal version.
>>5388351
Goodsmile's shipping isn't outrageous considering they ship EMS. I usually pay around 1800y for EMS shipping for a single figma from AmiAmi. The difference with Goodsmile is that they charge the full retail price with no discounts like the major stores do.
>>5387294
You clearly don't live in the UK. Customs will rape you if you order EMS.
EMS can mean another £30 added on to your order and having it take longer than airmail to finally get to you after paying the hostage fees.
>>5388409
This.
I'm not paying £70 for a figma.
Is anyone else just fine with the regular Link release? I'm not a huge Zelda fan and the extra accessories will more than likely sit in a drawer.
>>5388436
It sort of is, by virtue of them not allowing any other shipping option.
>>5388436
Let me guess, I should just move to glorious nippon right?
>>5388453
The joy of having accessories is having a choice of how to display/pose, with just the sword and shield you're severely limited with what you can do.
Are there any prototypes of the little armory mascots up yet?
>>5388461
That, or move to USA for quality fast EMS shipping.
>>5388453
If you're not a huge Zelda fan why are you buying a Link who only has one recent game ?
>>5388453
Nah, because I already have the sword and shield from the previous Link
I would probably just forget this thing exists, because the regular version is barebones shit and the exclusive one costs too much for me to care. LBW Link is a little adorable bastard but MF fucked up that one.
>>5388669
No one knows what the exclusive costs do they?
>>5388494
yes
> i wont pay $12 more for cool accessories
When did toy become this cancerous?
>>5388695
+$20 shipping
>>5388453
Honestly if the standard version was >4k and the DX version wasn't exclusive I wouldn't mind this whole fiasco. Since I can probably get 1/12th scale bombs, pots and rupees elsewhere I think I'm just going to stick with the standard version. A hookshot and snail isn't worth the +$20 it'd cost for the special version
>>5388701
2000y /= $20
Shut the fuck up, poorfag.
>>5388695
When /v/ started coming here asking when Nintendo figmas are released.
>>5387302
God dammit, I'm gonna have to keep refreshing that shit at work now.
Was hoping to grab it tonight, and sleep easy.

Yes it is? Not everyone is american
>>5388862
6,000 yen + 2,000 yen shipping! It begins!
>>5388862
Fuck! I consider myself a /toy/ guy. I know how and where to get shit, but I couldn't find this link anywhere. Thanks a lot, anon. I know people don't like helping people around here. You're a good man.
Ika figma.
Any good headswap for her besides Hachikuji Mayoi?
>>5385792
Himari bikini would be preorder day one.
>>5388872
Who said I was American?
>>5388892
Nobody. Who the fuck are you?
Never ordered from GSC before and now they're making me sign up and I can't process the Link DX order and now it says my password is invalid. What is it with Japs and their inability to network shit on the back end?
Do you have to pay right now to preorder the figure?
So everyone was crying over 1000 yen for optional parts?!
>>5388909
Yes.
