I only buy figure based on the aesthetic and the beauty of the outlook, character design and the figure workmenship. So I think in future if the figure suit my taste, i still probably will take it.

Haha, agree on this, i dont know anything about Ciel Alencon and Godeater but wanted her badly, and not a fan of Sonico as a characte, but there are those occasions that the moment you see the figure you'll say this to yourself "I MUST have this."

This voice is killing "I MUST HAVE THIS", LOL~

Ya, I see the details and design of CIEL, then say to me, direct order lah...

but if u wait a little longer sometime it falls under sales item.

Sometimes impatience > everything else It happens.
I also have the habit of snatching a newly released flagship smartphone on release day itself and paying RM2000-2400 for a phone. Shiok mah. LOL
I did save $$ in some sales though. A number of my figures i got them at 30-50% discount.

X-Plus any good?

So many Sonicos, but I prefer the simpler ones like this. At 41cm tall she's kinda huge in more than one ways

I havent strayed from Orchid Seed as far as Sonicos are concerned. If u like it simple and big their 1/5 sonico is really good, but a bit hard to find now. About 33cm tall. Xplus is known for huge figures, some of the castoff-able. They even made 1/2 scales before i think. But that Xplus sonico doesnt seem detailed enough to me though.

Well can ship from Japan, but most probably will kena tax (then again tax is around 10-15% only)

Hancur if handling service not good la Well if scared use Fedex or UPS

Just not sure from the size can register as hand carry luggage or not

That 15% tax + shipment already few hundreds for sure.

Go there, work, live, buy 3D waifu and get a human wife.
Both real life and otaku life fulfilled
inb4 20+ hours work daily

Just a few more months, when GST comes in effect tax probably only 6% I think. I dont know if figures are classified as toys.
Exceptions (higher tax) i think only apply to luxury stuff, alcohol, cigarettes, etc

I wouldnt want to live in Japan, earthquake > all your figures gg.com. As for work, i wouldnt be stupid enough to stay up at workplace beyond working hours. Love your job, but not your employer. Family, stress & health management is more important.

For long vacations (like, stay there for a month) and then slowly take time visit various places would be very nice though, if u have the money. While i sure want to go to Tokyo and Akihabara, i's like to visit places like Kyoto and Okinawa as well.
Like some ang moh /western people, they travel to cambodia, vietnam, thailand, m'sia, s'pore, 1 by 1 country, each for 1-2 weeks, over the span of 1-2 months. The issue is that food price in Japan itself is already a killer, their standards of living among the highest in the world.
