One thought about the shininess in other reviews. When I first started writing reviews and wasn't so great with my lighting, I'd often get figures that looked quite shiny when they weren't. Depending on where the camera is and how the light is dispursed and reflecting it can have a huge impact on how a figure looks.
Edit, oh yeah, Black Rock Shooter finally arrived. Only took 404 days since I ordered her....

In case of Kotobukiya the glossy paint is their trademark, that's why it's strange
I've also seen her at the local store, it certainly is a big *ss box. I prefer her anime version and planning to get the GSC figure of it. I wonder how big that box will be?
On the other hand, I was astonished by the Sega Strike Witches figure's boxes. The figures are about the same height and width of the QB Aldra, yet the box is one quarter of the Megahouse's product! That's what I call tight packing!!!
