Heheh, yeah sometimes it get's tight in the financial department
especially since I started collecting with the Yamato Macross valkyries
first 1/60 and later 1/48, for a short time these scales overlapped releases
back when the Euro/Yen wasn't as favorable I was plunking down €150 for a 1/48
and €90 for a 1/60
With 4-6 releases in 3 months and the pokemon "gotta catch them all" mentality
my money flew out the window

thank god new Macross releases have died down somewhat
so I can concentrate on other stuff (other figs and my motorcycle swallow my
salary now )

I wish i could go....

you have any figures your going to be showing off there gamerabaenre?

and dont forget nightbat, now u have to order an official bandai valkyrie stand for each of your valkyries so you can display them properly :x

[Aoie_Emesai]

Lookie at what I'm gonna preorder, "eventually." I gotta decide if I wanna spend money on this PVC. Sexy without all the nudity ^_o. The top of the head sorta bugs me, seems like they need to polish it down a bit, it seems rather rough. Other than that, it's seems perfect.

You can link to the product page just not the image.

Thank goodness I don't
These things have the advantage of being able to stand on 2 feet or landinggear

Interesting. So if I was to move my store off of ebay, people who visit my store will have a better impression as opposed to a store within ebay? Sorry if this is off topic, but I was browsing through this topic to find out what's hot and was (and still is) intrigued by that statement.

Well that's not good news for me. I only have a handful of figures right now, but given how many I see online and say "Ooo, me wants", I can only imagine what amounts I will eventually spend on them. Self-restraint will be a must if I plan to save enough for study abroad. >.O

And looking at some of the other figures I haven't seen yet in this thread surely isn't helping me any. Oh well.

Ok it's working again. (the product page that is)

[JKL]

This just in. I always wanted a nice Sakura figure.

I know, but HobbySearch is my source for pics, they're a bit faster with images than HLJ
(and sometimes with Preorders too, like the Eb Hyper Fate Saber - though after a quick
email to HLJ it was also put on their PO list and ordered it there)

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

I was wondering if anyone knew if there are any Elfen Lied figurines.

I've have yet to find any.

Wow. I like those figures. But I have to say I like the pose for the sega figure better. I don't know what it is about chicks with weapons, but I really dig them.

I need to get a 2nd job

If this will be produced as well as it is in the picture I might be inclined to get one

And I'm not even a Shizuru fan

[Alexandrite]

Woo! The Max Factory Ayu figure I've been waiting for is finally here! I've been anxious to get ahold of it since seeing its prototype (is there any proper terminology for that?) from photos of a past convention (and wouldn't you know, I forgot the name of the convention too). It's being released later than what I thought I had read, but it matters not!

When my paycheck comes in on Friday, I am so pre-ordering that.
