You've got Tsukasa in my Kagami!!!
No, you got Kagami in my Tsukasa!!!! Interesting reversal of the faces and the body/hairstyles... But that pose with the cell phone is Kagami all the way (minus her hair....) as well as Tsukasa posing in dance-happy (minus her hair...).

Lucky Star merchandise it really expensive. I want so much of the stuff too. Most of all was the Akira PVC statue and the Konata PVC statue. I also would love a Kagami as I love her, Haha.
The only thing that I have in my possession is a Nendoroid of Akira. I chose Akira as she is my favourite under Kagami. Even those are rare here in England. I am just greatful that I found an English based anime store that sells genuine and new Japanese models and such. I mean REALLY greatful! Most of the things I see on there I will probably never see on Ebay. I need some more money though as I want the new Kagami shrine statue. |

@JKD: Poor choice of font color, its barely visible against the default background color.
But to answer your question -- ALL japanese merchandise of the collectible kind is expensive. Figmas are extra expensive because of the joints. Regular unjointed PVC figurines go from $35US to $100US depending on the size and detail. And then there's the shipping (aieee!).

aye, that's an amazingly good price for imported figmas O.O considering the hops necessary to get to the UK from Japan.
Per the shipping, I was talking about the shipping cost from Japan (most exports insist on EMS (registered/tracked shipping) anymore). I have the miko pair of Kagami and Tsukasa on pre-order - it ran 8500 yen (about $80USD or 50 Euros). The shipping costs about a third of that again. http://www.hlj.com/product/WAVDT-29 I'm just not a fan of figmas - but they'd be very cool for stop-motion hobbyists.

Yep talk about EXpensive, you can refer to Vexx's post for the price, just guess how much I got her, just pick the GREATER number XD.
But it's wroth it in my case since I really like Konata. Also there is a pull out carton poster of her standing outside WF building.

Yes, I know. The good things about this UK based store is that if they do run out of the item they themselves order more from Japan and then send them to you. So their is no need to pay for the shipping from Japan, they do that themselves. The only thing that I have to pay for is the actual item and the £2.50 shipping from London to my house (which 2 hours away from London). To be honest I was quite shocked at the low prices for these new and official Figmas and such which are worth barrels full of money on Ebay..and that is even if you manage to find them on there. I am so happy that I found this store. The prices on shipping and these rare items is amazing. |
