An Alter Mugi is being made (saw a model for it a while ago), and I take it Ritsu will eventually follow as well. It just takes time. And that's a good thing, coz then I can save up for them.

Mugi will be affordable, too, just 7140 yen, same price as Yui and Mio. Considering she comes with a huge and probably insanely well detailed keyboard, that's pretty nice.

Maido's....WTH??? No Ritsu?...oh there....far back from Mio

The one on the bottom right is pure tsundere win and moe.

Her "Nyaa! Stop staring at me pervert!" expression is way too cute.

Of course, you know she's talking to you.

Qikz · 2010-05-29, 10:58

Oh dear, it's begun. Came back from Expo today with the Ritsu Nendoroid and I've ended up reserving the Mio and Tsumugi ones for when they come back in stock, or get released in the case of the Mio one.

Squawks · 2010-05-29, 11:16

What about Yui, man? That's the best one.

Qikz · 2010-05-29, 17:58

I'm going to pick up Yui and Azu-nyan at a later point. I've spent too much as it is. :X

My wallet is crying, I just reserved Azu-nyan and Yui too just so I don't miss them. Damnit world I'm trying to save for my Japan trip next year.

I am not a pervert! That look must have been misdirected!

Though I wished they made a figure like this :

DannyChoo advertises them on his site and I think he's reliable. I've pre-ordered some things there yesterday too. You can pay with Paypal which is nice.

Agito Akiyama · 2010-05-30, 16:07

I pre ordered the Mio Alter School Festival figure, when do I pay in PayPal? and when will I know what the shipping costs are lol?

Assuming they're similar to HobbyLink Japan (which is my favorite), you pay when they have the actual figure in stock.

And by that time, they'll also tell you how much shipping is (though you should be able to find it somewhere on the site itself too, usually in customer service, FAQ or anything in that fashion).

Vexx · 2010-05-30, 17:24

Aye, they should tell you that up front as to whether they want to charge you immediately or wait til the figure is in stock. The very small shops usually want all up front or at least half so they aren't stuck with the figure.

Yup, they don't bill you until they have the figure in stock and when they find out how much they're charging you, I think they add the shipping charge onto that, but usually with Nendoroids it's around $10 or something for EMS (the good shipping).

Agito Akiyama · 2010-05-31, 08:36

I live in Israel so I didn't get an exact detail about that, but the figure it's suppose to be between 10$ to 20$? I hope the Shekel currency won't fall in the summer... or at least the yen won't get stronger.

Agito Akiyama · 2010-06-01, 10:16

Is the Mio Max Factory factory legit? I don't see it in Hobby Search and similar stores but there are few on eBay that are available and even from Japan...

Are you talking about This one?

Side-note: Alter Mio School Festival figure pre-ordered.

@ Agito : To answer your first question, there isn't any trading pair for JPY/ILS so I am doing a very rough analysis and conversion here.

For the USD/JPY trading pair, it is going pretty bearish, meaning that USD$1 will be trading for less and less yen, which is sitting at around 90+ yen per USD now and it is going to cost less to buy the USD using yen.

As for the USD/ILS pair, it has been trending up daily, meaning it is going to cost more Shekel to buy USD$1, hovering at USD$1 = ILS$3.869. It means now ILS$1 = 24 yen at best. In the next few days or weeks, unless there is some major news event or breakout, ILS$1 could be trading for less than 24 yen.

Putting the final maths in, the figurine is going to be more expensive for you as time passes for the next week.
