Damn, the only think I disliked from this purchase is, as ever, HLJ website works terribly bad (nedded 5 Reload -.-' )

It was that cheap? I've been wanting that figure for a long time, but every time I saw one it was like $50. I'd definitely get one, but the shipping takes it back up to almost the $50 mark. Too bad there isn't anything else I want to order that's in stock.

You can always try SAL. It just takes a LOOOONG time though.

Edit: I did end up getting the Aldra and this Ymir:

I initially wanted to get the other one, but it was too expensive, and also had a pretty dull face (imo). This one has a pretty exquisite costume and better sculpting overall. Plus it was on sale =)

This is my newest acquisition, just released by the end of June:

It actually has a background like the one from that classic image, really nice, but I prefer to have it like this.

And the rest of my collection:

^wat classic image are you referring to

Marcus H. · 2010-07-10, 09:41

Well, luck is definitely not on my side (or I'm just really not experienced on this stuff). I just lost my reservation for Megami Volume 124 and Hobby Search has closed pre-ordering.

HLJ doesn't even have it yet, so we still have chances

Shikimori Kazuki · 2010-07-11, 21:02

does anyone know of a website that shows comapnies that produced Tony Taka's figurines?

Agito Akiyama · 2010-07-11, 22:38

MyFigureCollection.net should do the job, just type in the name of the series you want to see it's figures or so.

tyvm, but i have a problem finding those particular figurines who doesnt have a series name to it. Take this picture for example, i do recall it has a figurine made but dont know the name of this series or character.

Spoiler for contains ecchi materials:

Agito Akiyama · 2010-07-12, 01:30

Ecchi material is always welcome in Agito's kingdom

Hmm, I don't know what to say regarding this, figures are usually categorized by series (I think) though you can google "Tony Taka figures"

My BRS arrived today, but I've yet to unbox her. Going to wait until my display cabinet arrives, I think.

Black Blade or Cannon?

Ichihara Asako · 2010-07-12, 04:11

Black Blade. I only collect figures with swords.

I usually like big stuff, like guitars and cannons, or a Cloud Strife-sized sword.

Ichihara Asako · 2010-07-12, 04:26

My Saber Lily has a big sword and scabbard, but Shiki has a more subtle katana, like BRS Black Blade (from what I see of it) but I think they will all work well together. Once I have my display case, I'll see about getting more. The Saber and Shiki were gifts, this BRS is the first I've actually bought, but now I'm serious and spending $350 on a display case for them, so I think I've been suitably suckered in to collecting.

I guess it doesn't really hurt since I don't buy as much anime as I used to, so I can put the money I don't spend on that toward figures instead.

$350? Does it come with lights and temperature control?[/serious question]

I was thinking about getting a display case, but I feel cool with them right next to me; as of now, most of my figures are on my writing desk. I like it like that, since I don't think I'll ever get enough to require a case, and having them so close it's easy to just grab a Nendo and pose it.

I may build some shelves one day, but I don't have wall space, except for over my bed. I'd prefer not to sleep under a pile of wood and plastic, too many earthquakes here.

I'll have to move a bookshelf or something.

Ichihara Asako · 2010-07-12, 05:36

No lights, I decided it's not necessary since I would pretty much never use it. No kind of thermostat or humidifier, either. It's just what it costs to have one delivered. I wanted a Detolf from Ikea, but they don't deliver, plus it would require assembly (says two people required for assembly, to boot, and I live on my own). This is the only option I've found so I just have to pay the premium.

I can't keep figures on my desk or low shelves because I have three cats. And keeping them on high shelves is kind of disappointing since it's not a good way to enjoy them.

Zeroryoko1974 · 2010-07-12, 09:09

Ikea has delivery now, but the Detoif requires freight (it weighs 90 lbs) so it costs like 300 bucks to ship
