>>5702247
with the exchange rate and shipping comes to about $130 my currency and I normally dont go over $60. so double my normal limit.
>>5702252

God bless your courageous spirit.

>>5702252
>and I normally dont go over $60
That frightens me, because so much of the shit i buy starts at $60 (figures, videogames) and goes up from there.
>>5702170
Not a lot of people want Satsuki without a Ryuko to go with her.
>Finally complete collection of something you've been collecting for years

Sell your stuff at bro prices in the bst, THEN kill yourself
>>5702297
i can't even get rid of the stuff i'm trying to sell on the BST
and that's factoring in bro-prices, too
>see amazing toy online and reviews.

>say fuck it and buy it because yolo
>finally arrives and you open it up
>immediately feel like you overpayed and the toy is not worth that kind of money.
>>5702277
Isn't it tho... im in canaduh and things here cost a lot more our dollar has gone to shite this past year. A simple nendroid starts at $70 I mostly collect statue shit kotobukiya. It's cheaper to buy them from a store then it is to buy online.... it's $50 $60 in the US it's $80cdn plus we are super crazy expensive to ship to. After tax and duties that $60us is now $110 or $120cdn
>>5702361
Ah yeah I'm talking US money. I know Canada gets reamed pretty hard.
>>5702288
You're making it sound like you buy an entire line just for the sake of it, is that what you're doing?
Because unless that's something you want to do then why would bother doing something like that?
>>5702120
Use your country's amazon you dumb fuck.
>>5702366
I know what you mean... I'm just saying the prices for us start at that now... and a lot of the stuff I buy is over$100 normally... I look at my poor wallet and weep
>>5702571
It's not that I'd be buying into a line just to buy into it. The Kinnikuman figuarts for example. I have Kinnikuman. If I were to get Robin Mask and Warsman, I'd eventually want to get, at very least, the rest of the Justice Choujin.

>tfw dream collection includes toys that are too expensive to own and long out of production.
Many years will pass before I get to feel empty, and by then, I'd probably have started on something else
>>5702964
>You deserve the slowpoke tax.
Maybe Japan needs to stop being a bunch of shitters and produce more of obviously in-demand figures. You can't tell me they don't notice the prices some figures go for and wouldn't want to make more money by re-releasing them.
>>5702126
This, all of my fucking this. Apparently they used to be able to combine shipping between multiple stores before shipping them out but they've fucked that off.
>>5703004
>and produce more of obviously in-demand figures
They were available for quite some time, Anon.
>>5703201
>Apparently they used to be able to combine shipping between multiple stores before shipping them out but they've fucked that off.
When was this, exactly? I've been using Mandarake since 2011 or some shit and that has never been a thing.
>>5703219
I'm not sure, it could be bullshit but I remember some anon saying he used to request it and they actually did it in another thread.
>>5702283
>Buy old toy I really wanted as a kid

>>5702212
This. The second I've actually got some disposable income, and now I just look at all the stuff I was smoldering with desire for 6 months ago and feel nothing. I mean, I COULD drop 150 bucks on some of this stuff easy, I just think I'm realizing it's not really worth it.
>want thing
>expensive as hell
>only available from literally who websites, many foreign
>can't tell if they'll ship internationally
Hrm.

>Maho and Erica are getting figma now too.
>Fuck, now I do need the Ausf. H for them to have tank fights with.
>Will never have a Kay figma or Hippo team figmas.
>>5702964
Liking anime is considered bandwagoning now?
>>5702736
I just payed $40 in shipping for about 7 figs on Amiami. Much as I'll enjoy them when they arrive, this is a flagrant disregard to my "never pay shipping more expensive than $15" policy.
I'm gonna have to call a moratorium on any online shopping. Being a Canadian between jobs isn't conducive to expensive hobbies. Time to fall back on other interests and thrifty living.
>I should really upgrade to a nice point and shoot camera since my phone is ancient with an 8 megapixel camera

>>5702114
>MFW my mom threw away a shitton of my toys, including my mezco voodooz doll and masterworks galactus.
I fucking hate my bitch mom. That fat cunt is dead for me, and when she dies ill piss on her grave for this aswell for all the abuse shes put me threw.
>>5709051
You can get an older but good and used point n shoot for like, $70.
>>5709439
I'm leaning towards the camera, I think it'll help me appreciate the figures I already have. Any recommendations, or sources where I can research some good ones? $70 isn't bad at all.
>>5702300
This. Fucking Mezco Batman, fuck you.
>>5702114
>Implying this dosen't happen on ebay too
Found something I want to buy.
Contact the seller for int shipping.
Sorry I don't ship X item to your country.
Some people just live by memes.

Depression is one hell of a drug, become so apathetic I don't even want to kill myself.

He is probably implying the dude is a normie casual cancerous fag for only getting into an anime show when it comes to America instead of watching the show while it airs in Japan like some true dedicated and honest superior anime fan.
Kinda sad considering they probably got introduced to anime by toonami in the first place years ago.
>something I want is in stock but don't have the funds
>by the time funds are acquired, the thing I want is out of stock
This happens all the fucking time.
>>5709487
Searching things like "best point and shoot cameras 2011", for example. Find some reviews on the ones you're interested in, buy whatever on amazon/eBay/local classifieds, etc.
Also, invest in a small tripod.

Good God this 100 times over. Did that with some of the original Bionicles that came out in 2001. Could never find them around here and I got them around 5 years ago finally. Wasn't the same as growing up with them.
>>5711608

Life is suffering
>>5711666
the sad thing is, you'd have probably got fuck all for the comics in trade value.
>>5711666
>>Talk to the guy behind the counter ask about 3rd party Sixshot
I know it's not much of a soothing balm bro, but you can still find him online for for around $100-140. I see used ones on eBay occasionally and they still have him on BBTS.
>>5711791
Yeah offer was $75 cash 125 store credit.
I can get more on eBay
>>5711801
>>5711797
Yeah, Just wanted to get rid of the comics while getting a something I wanted.
>tfw spent $40 on wat looked to be a decent light box with built in LED lighting
>its fucking tiny
so disappointing. Guess I should have paid less attention to the damn pictures and more to the listed height, god damn it
>pic is how small it is, useless for shooting anything that isnt up close toy pic
>>5712229
Why didn't you just make your own lightbox...?
>be canadian
>>5712248
because I work intense hours and im fucking lazy.

stupid fucking americans.
>>5713441
>replace WALMART with any store/shopping place
I don't know what third world basement you crawl in, but if you have the means to buy $40 premade useless shit, you can probably buy a fucking box and some lights, online or in person, ya fucking retard.
>>5713441
Not him, but 1. way to miss the damn point, and 2. aside from the desk lamps, you can get that shit at the dollar store.
>>5713326
>>Dont have large boxes
Do you not buy toys online?

blessed be the /toy/ gods. it's as cute as I had dreamt it would be.
>>5720137
Well bringing the figures there must have cost something.
I would have killed myself already tho if I didn't live next to Amerikkka to get my plastic crack for cheap.
>get over collecting toys because of time and money spent
>work and go to university classes like a functioning adult
>have accident and shatter my leg
>in painkiller induced haze go on a three month spending spree

Apparently spending sprees are common for people on painkillers so if you ever are drugged up for a while, make sure a caregiver takes away your credit card
Salvaged one of them courtesy of Perfect Effect. I will feel like a moron whenever I look at him, though.
>>5721233
wait whats going on here
>>5721244
It's simple. I wanted to swap out the legs between HasOptimus and TakOptimus, and I failed to Google the subject; so, like an idiot, I just went at him with a screw driver.
Turns out you need to take apart the thighs, not the hips. You can't restore the hip ratchets once you take him apart, and the abdomen does not come apart.
I suppose it's a good thing I haven't felt that stupid in a long tome.
>>5718401
Nothing wrong with you anon. You thoroughly researched your purchase, which is the smart thing to do. I hope you like it a lot when it arrives.

As a grill with a partner who collects toys too, hell yes it's better.
Imagine the high of buying your grail toy, but it someone else's grail toy instead and you get to give it to them. You get to see their face light up as they unwrap it and realise what you got for them, and feel their gratitude.

I own every single Bioshock figure and the light up big daddy has a small paint dot... it drives me mad.
I looked up buying a replacement and only found rape prices. Goddamn. what makes it worse is it's the only one with any noticable flaw so it drives me more insane
>>5722384
>as a grill
Why did you feel the need to mention this? It has nothing to do with the thread, you attention seeking whore.
>>5722640
It's because she's responding to somebody who responded to a female poster (or less likely, gay male).
Calm down.

You're a ducking moron. Pease leave this board and go kill yourself.
