What's your Eleanor, /toy/? Your holy grail? Your one thing (or more) that you've been hunting down but has eluded you for one reason or another?
Pic related: I only found out these things existed last year, but none of the sites I frequent carry them. What places I've found that have them are either kinda shady, charging well over $100 for them, or both. The 1:12 Street Fighter IV arcade cabinet kit looks like it'll be joining it in Eleanor status soon, too.

Ah! The good ol' days of camping amiami for a restock of these game prize figures, any toy soldier remember that? I got lucky when a restock of the Beatmania happened and managed to get a set in 2009. I have then preordered(I checked amiami from time to time so I can preorder before it sold out) the Quiz Magic Academy set, Pop'n Music set, Guitarfreaks set, Drumfreaks set and a Jubeat Saucer(Didn't get the other 2 since I was low on money at that time). I'm not sure if I remember it correctly but I think amiami had a 50% off on international shipping when Vol1-3 was released so I saved a lot on ems for the first 3.
I had the same problem as you with the 1/12 SFIV Wave Vewlix arcade cabinet, I held off on buying on release because I thought it would be reissued since it was just a model kit, boy was I wrong, Wave discontinued it in favor of the Persona Wave Vewlix arcade cabinet. I wasn't comfortable with paying the aftermarket price so I visit ebay from time to time for bins and auctions, I missed a few good offers but last year I got lucky to win an auction for $50 including shipping. So don't give up hope, you'll eventually get one!

Forgot to add that an ebay auction for the set just ended last month:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Konami-Desktop-Arcade-Collection-Figure-Vol-1beatmania-DX-set-of-2-official-JP-/311550478686?hash=item4889db095e%3Ag%3A4ogAAOSwWTRWxlBM&nma=true&si=pd9Zfs%252B1uSeyfDlSdTva9JXU4aw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Check Mandarake and Yahoo Auction since I remember some toy soldiers hunting these prize figures on those sites. Happy hunting and goodluck!

Damn, looks like I'll be paying a hefty price regardless. Thanks for the heads up; I'll be sure to keep an eye on ebay.
I had this, I threw it out last month because I wasn't using it and it was taking up space.

I'm going to assume by "throw it out" you mean "sold it to Mandarake". I'm not even OP and I'm still rustled by that post.
>>5560661
Mandarake wouldn't have taken it. It was unboxed, assembled and all labelled up.
>>5560521
It's not even expensive? Neets are literally the worst
>>5560666
Whoops, forgot about the whole assembled kit aspect. Disregard, I suck cocks.

You could have sold it on the BST and make a fellow anon happy. But I haven't bought anything on the BST thread yet so I don't know if it's worth the trouble on having to deal with possible scammers and whatnot. Mine are all still boxed up except for Vol.1 Empress(assembled but stickers unapplied), Quiz Magic set and 1 Pop'm Music(forgot which version I assembled).
Still waiting on a DDR.....
