While I was saving up money for the Good Smile Ver. of Homura, it sold out on hobbysearch. Does anyone know another site that sells figurines, and ships fast like Hobbysearch?

Oh... Now that I think about it... The top is removable... right? o_O

Is this the figure that you are looking for?

I checked amiami.com an HLJ, but they're all sold out. Might wanna consider purchasing from plamoya if you really want to get your hands on one.

And I got the last one >:3

I now have Madoka sitting on my shelf, and the rest (Homura, Mami, Sayaka, Kyouko) to be shipped later \o/

Edit: Looks like Plamoya restocked and are available again.

Ichihara Asako · 2012-05-28, 10:20

I skipped regular Madoka, and not interested in Mami, but have Homura, with Sayaka and Kyouko on order -- I'll get Madokami when it is released, though. I also have a Kyuubey plushie. <3

Plushie of Kyuubey-sama? WHERE?!

She is kind of expensive but this site still has her (they are shipping from the US so at least you will save on shipping though)

Why would you want a plushie when you can have this wonderful item instead. XD

As for TSF fans, here's the next one from Volks.

Vermilion Sword looks really nice, but I think I'm going to pass on this one unless a tank class comes with it. Damn it, Volks! How many years do I have to wait for the U.S. Marines Super Hornet, and Balalaika? ;_;

grylsyjaeger · 2012-05-28, 21:48

Do you collect the Volks figures?

Tryin' to get more contracts.

Ithekro · 2012-05-29, 02:00

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.

Sheba · 2012-05-29, 10:56

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?

Do you mean their price tags?

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.

Kirarakim · 2012-05-30, 16:08

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.
