BEAUTIFUL Figure >.< Good Smile did it again By the way she is widely sold out, and already over 20,000yen in Solaris Japan I'm still working on her props for photography, hopefully can finish it in a few days. The 2nd pic is just a test shot. I'm aiming for something warmer in colors to match her base.

I had a hard time finding a good angle... btw, you said widely sold out? wow...i just check on Ebay, average price at RM700 now... This post has been edited by jason_tan1980: Apr 6 2015, 03:11 PM

I had a hard time finding a good angle... btw, you said widely sold out? wow...i just check on Ebay, average price at RM700 now... I assume it's not really the high demand, but low amount of stocks produced. Good Smile kept the amount of yield low for quality control, and it's not wise to overproduce given this is a rather expensive figure, not many people can afford it. Personally it's a wise move, im very happy with Ciel, i only wished the metal pipe used to support the god arc is wholly metal (or at least, the insides/frame is fully metal) so that we dont need another plastic support pole for long periods of display. Amiami and many more common/mainstream sites already sold out of Ciel. QUOTE(WingNut @ Apr 6 2015, 03:21 PM) And then you add in shipping costs... yeah, still rather expensive =/ But Solaris Japan is known to have preposterous prices This post has been edited by EXkurogane: Apr 6 2015, 03:36 PM

QUOTE(ilfort @ Apr 8 2015, 08:13 PM) IMO, the Home Ministry in general tends to do a few high-profile/somewhat attention-grabbing, but useless things per year just to justify their annual budget, but their Al-Quran Text and Publishing Control Division is a classic example of "takde kerja lain"  ...The guy in charge even says this is not the first time such an operation was conducted, so obviously they only make such a huge fuss when they need the cheap publicity on how well they're doing their job...If this follows the tradition of all their other "major" operations, this entire issue will be forgotten in a few weeks tops...

He might have very well been joking but you can tell that GST-mania has really gone into overdrive when even dollar amount of raids also need to mention GST.

Well, if he wasn't joking, I guess it implies that sex toys are not zero rated goods...?

i'm not surprised. i actually think some shops were kinda like asking for it by openly displaying such figures, don't you think so? what you display at home is your business, but displaying it openly in public is a different matter altogether. just my two cents.

Well, the problem with this country, if your religion doesnt allow you to own this or that, sure, no problem. But you should respect the rights of others who do not practice the same belief as you do, their rights to purchase and own something that is illegal to your religion but not to their religion or beliefs.
Anyway this is just the authorities seeking attention telling the people they are doing their work. It will be forgotted in less than a month, we hobbyists are not really affected in the long term.
