But doesn't Chen already have a contract? Or is it Chen trying to get QB into a contract with Yukari?

Yes, I do, but not a lot.

Perhaps I should post some pictures once I find my camera.

Oh crap, Charlotte Dunois Bunny Girl ver. by Kotobokiya was up for preorder a few hours and it is ALREADY SOLD OUT in amiami and hobby japan. It's very unlikely that one of those who preordered change his mind and decide to pass. I either hope that the reservation queue somehow free up like it happened to me with Niku, or I wait for the figurine to be up for preorder at Suzukaze or Archonia.


EDIT:


Hobby Link Japan still have her!

QUICK! GO GET HER!

How can one say no to that alluring wink? That delicious bunny girl costume? Them delicious curves?

Hmm, I've got all the so-far-released Kotobukiya kits.

And I have to say the F-18E/F is my favourite but you know me, I'm hanging out for that F-22!!

Yeah, €76 for a figure from HLJ compared to €125 at Archonia for the same one is just too big to blame transport/taxes

Sure I'll get hit with shipping (though at Archonia too) and taxes from HLJ and in the end may just save myself €20
but that's still €20 someone else was making extra (apart from the profit margin HLJ was already making on that €76)


Oh I'll admit that a lot of price fixing starts at the importer/distributor
but keeping prices high isn't exactly gonna 'expand the market'

I agree. That's why i also buy my anime merchandise from shops in japan (cdjapan, hobbysearch, amiami or even with a proxy for webshops that don't ship internationally) rather than from those in Europe or the USA due to their much higher pricing.

I usually order from Japan because you get your items quicker that way but with the awful exchange rate & shipping cost I am not really sure how much cheaper ordering from Japan really is.

Although I guess International sites do an awful mark up.

That's a lot of dedication. To think you even purchased the recolors for the Type-0 and Shiranui Second.

Anyway, I've always wondered if the Super Hornet comes with a knife accessory, and Black Knives emblem. D=

From the box - none are assembled, yet! - I can see two CCWs and there appears to be an emblem of two crossed CCWs on the wings of the thrust units?

Yup, that's black knives emblem alright... You have no idea how jealous I am. T^T

Setting that aside, here's a figure of a certain character from Comic Party that I used to have.

Not really a figure, but a plush instead. Been a big fan of this character since I was a child. She's so cute <3

Adding to the subset of my collection that is Kuroneko figures - this one just left the shipping dock:

Actually... yeah, now that you mention it - that's pretty close to how she looked in high school atmospherically speaking. I'm just a sucker for small, petite types - freely admitted

Perhaps the following might bear a closer resemblance :-



Speaking of which, I'm starting to develope a taste of retro Sailor Fuku. Those kinds with longer dress and in a darker shade of colours.
