Contemplating on ordering both Hikari and Homura. Never played XBC2 but the figures look nice.
Ryan Ramirez
although since they both come out in December I feel like I might regret it since other figures I might want will also get released on december. what do?
Grayson Ross
I am considering buying one of these
How terrible is that idea?
John Collins
uh oh, I have a poster coming in with buyee that I bought on yahoo JP auctions and I didn't buy any extra protection. I hope it's not crumpled to shit
Jackson Green
I want a time machine.
Leo Taylor

Caleb Perez

Joshua Gutierrez
>can't even wait a year
buyfaggotry builds character don't it
Lincoln Hernandez
I just heard some Koreans complain about Amazon Japan shipping fee increased based on box size,(especially metal build series and freeing figures) do we have any news on this?
Gabriel Bailey
That is why I only buy figs that are already available.
Juan Perry
Buyfagging teaches patience, budgeting, critical thinking and light research skill. It's fantastic except for the whole $400 figure thing.
Aiden Cooper
Heh
Daniel Gray
It's not a terrible idea at all, user! In fact it's a great idea! The friends are cute! CUTE!
Isaiah Myers
Waiting on the Shuten payment notice...
Jose Peterson
Got some of the Native images started.
Jack Turner
Friendly reminder to report and ignore sipfag
Juan Lewis
Yes/No?
One/Both?
Levi Ortiz
aside from amico and play-asia, what other stores can i pre-order them from? i don't think hlj or hobby nips will list them. did they even sell them during their initial run?
Noah Wood
it's amiami exclusive according to their site
Isaac Wood
i hope you didn't forget to PO cute robot to complete the set user.
Adrian Cooper
>Got the hair color wrong
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Austin James
t-elos eventually my bros
Julian Ross
that's a shame. i was hoping "particular shops" would include something other than amico. the first article on the net regarding the re-release linked to play-asia so i thought it would be "less exclusive".
Carter Moore
can you make money in the west by finishing garage kits and selling the completed figure?
Leo Murphy
there might be a market for it
Jeremiah White
>Green
excuse me
Nolan Gonzalez
Yes
Both
I already had Homura so got Hikari ordered now, christmas gift for me already
Asher Gomez
Why exactly can't they ship out Hikari and Homura together? Why is it Single Shipment only?
Julian Barnes
this isn't about garage kits per se, but i have a friend who assembles gunpla and sells them with a huge mark-up. he does some custom coloring and is really good at what he does. he once told me he made near $200 for a single model but he usually averages around $100 for a model that takes him around 2-3 weeks. making a living out of it, i don't think it's that possible. but it's his hobby aside from being an architect so it works well for him.
Landon Brooks
big box, was the same with jeanne
Jace Butler
Both
But fuck, i want Morag, Nia, or Poppi in some shape or form next.
Lucas Collins
I want both but its hella expensive, hope the aftermarket price is better this time
Ayden Robinson
A throwback to the initial loadout she has.
Looks cool in a practicool way, ngl
Dominic Phillips
yeah if your good theres people that pay commission for it.
Jonathan Powell
Brutal
Hunter Martin
Trying to cash in on superior green gun loli by adding realism.
Luke Foster
I guess so

Is he living in Burundi?

Carter Miller
With shipping and friendly German customs, they would probably end up costing 500 bucks together.
Owen Phillips
Level up your reading comprehension.
Chase Turner
Looks like shit. I hate western painters, a lot tend to hand paint too many details and it turns out cakey and too "painterly." Anime figures just need airbrush shading.
Grayson Reyes
Looks cuter honestly. I think the pink soldier uniform was gaudy, but I didn't watch or even care about that show anyway so meh
Connor Murphy
Wait for Nia.
Landon Davis
who?
Leo Hughes
I found a pretty good deal on the GSC 1/8 hatsune miku (from 2008/2011) and the moekore 3.9 encore 1/6
I don't really want to get both of them so I was wondering if anyone had one or both of them and had any thoughts about which one they like better
Tyler Diaz
>Amazon JP international rape shipping prices get even higher
Oh good
Parker Hughes
Is Zenmarket default packaging safe for figs?
Angel Jackson
yes
Logan King
they will rise in price again after one or two years after release . How much was each one before the re-release anouncement like 800 usd ?
Hunter Green
Is scalping really that bad even after a second release? Shouldn't volume make them way less valuable than the first run even a year or two after?
Nolan Williams
Well, to give him credit, the sentence structure was a little awkward. I had to reread it myself to understand.
Cooper Long
That hair ruins the whole thing. No way I’m paying $200 for that.
Christian Cook
they don't
Levi Peterson
What type of paint do they use to paint scale figures? Lacquers?
Jacob Smith
I checked a few FREEing figures, and I notice no difference in price to the USA at the moment. Is this planned for the future or is it supposed to be in effect now?
Easton Bell
I have a few as well, I put them on my manga shelves to brighten them up.
Christian Roberts
they were popping on mandarake for 26k yen
William Murphy
Anybody own this prize fig?
How's the quality on it?
Brandon Thompson
>Is this prize figure, prize figure tier quality?
Juan Jenkins
is it at least NOT ugly looking with a shit paintjob?
theres prizefigs that look really good despite being prize figs
Julian Anderson
Even the prototype image on the box looks bad so I would not be expecting much.
Ryan Ward
The biggest problem in the west is the competing points of "What people are willing to pay", "What you need to make a living" and "What you need to get decent turnaround times" don't intersect too often
The best example would be Ihaztoys, they started painting garage kits and were modestly priced with good turnaround time but they weren't making enough for it to be their livelihood.
Now they make their own figures, take ages, are over priced and haven't seen a deadline they couldn't skip.
