currently the only 2 figures I have
no budget to get more at the moment
the problem of having too many hobbies

More ero stuff from Orchid Seed. I'll pass, although her price may rise after release.

Oh shit, Tohsaka is on AmiAmi for 16k yen, should I go for her?

I even made figure expo in campus before, under campus anime club activity - all of them i 'sponsored', because i owned them.
My room is for three, but im the only inhabitant for the past 2 years, and unlikely to get roommates because most new intake students prefer the same room as their friends from the same batch. Our system here allows students to choose who to stay with for themselves.

Not interested in this one somehow. It doesnt appeal to me.

I tot u so rich until cannot tahan ady, want throw money already? Get her! She is rare (and already re-released once before, i dont think she will be re-released a 2nd time).

With that price, I can get 2 figures with more price rise potential rather than her lol. And she's A/B, last time I bought a pre-owned item from AmiAmi, it was A/A, don't like too much damage on the box. AND SHE"S GONNA KENA KASTAM TAX.

I'll pass, cause I can find her cheaper on Yahoo Japan Auctions.

Oh, pre-owned. I see. Then better go for new one in YJA, or mandarake - if they have it.
Pre-owned I'd only buy from local people, best by COD, or friends that i personally know. My Alter Louise Gothic ver. is purchased from a friend - he got her for rm 280+, after just 1 month+, has financial issues, wants to let her go for only RM 200. Of course i will grab la, save some $$ instead of buying new one, and im helping him with his need for $$. But that figure itself is rare now.

YJA has it, and the price is around 12~14k only for new stuff, even after proxy fees still cheaper than AmiAmi.
Local people, I scared of getting bootleg, that's why I try to buy these stuff on AmiAmi, Manda and all. Nt sure if YJA got risk of getting bootleg a not.

Meanwhile im actually looking for 1/6 scale miniatures, like furniture/chairs/tables etc. Companies like Re-Ment, Megahouse, T for Candy, Orcara etc make them. Those make good props for figure photography. They come in various scales though, 1/6, 1/10 or 1/12.

I will start hunting next month after my finals. I did find 2 or 3 local sites selling them, but as usual, what im looking for are either sold out or discontinued.

Hmmm, I've got no decent shelf to display my figures yet, so currently I still keep them MISB in their box. Guess I won't be needing those props in the short term

^ I wont display my figures either, save some trouble with dust when i keep them in box. But i need them because im into figure photography, but i dont have a DSLR, and all of these are shot with my phone. Here's some of my photos, most of them are only average though.

My stuff 100% real, why? I kept the receipt...

i missed all these... T_T hoping all my old figure being taken care by their new owner well...

Im not worried about bootleg, because i can identify a bootleg figure on the spot with my own eyes.
Even the best made bootleg figures cant escape, i will notice it. So, buying from local ppl by COD or walk-in a shop is not a problem.

My advice for those still unexperienced is, if in doubt, trust your instincts - it might be a bootleg.
If the figure doesnt seem right to you, you should suspect it. Do keep official photos of original products in your phone, good reference material.
