Hey people, long-time lurker but have decided to post a bit after getting into figure collecting more earnestly smile.gif

I got my preordered Revoltech Saber, you can view some of my pics here - her supercute face is what sold me, and being posable is a big plus!

Mine was from ultimate-toys (Amcorp outlet, RM90, not sure if off-the-shelf retail will be the same) and mine has no defects as far as I can tell, so hopefully that'll be the case for all local shipments. Got her yesterday and when I was there I saw 3 more boxes.

The only thing is that there are slight painting inconsistencies as is usual with most figures, so it's always advantageous to peer at the figs yourself and pick the best. If you don't mind braving it like valho (hi, byak-chan from figure.fm here! XD) you can get her for cheaper for RM70++ on P-A, but again I must emphasise you're left to the luck of the draw w/ online ordering ^^;;

LilKeV84, any idea if Revy is still available at DC? I was going to buy her from XL-shop but she was sold out before I could get there, and now she's really hard to get (unless you order from US retailers, in which case shipping is a killer). 'Grats on the purchase btw ^^

UNDICI: Ah sorry, the question was meant for you, misread who posted what ^^;; Thanks for the response, looks like a trip to DC is in order.

LilKeV84: Mai! I haven't finished watching Kanon yet, but she's definitely one of my favourite characters. Really like the pose of that figure ^^

Quite the Kanon fan aren't you! They all look so cute together, especially Ayu wub.gif

Alter Revy? I saw it in XL Ampang
try to call XL Ampang & ask bout it

Ah, thanks! I saw that it was sold out on their website - maybe someone who preordered it didn't collect or something.

^The Asian release of Prison Break S1 & 2 are out? I saw S1 in a store recently, bugging my bf to burn S1 and Heroes S1 for me to see if I like them enough to buy the DVDs XD

QUOTE(LilKeV84 @ Jun 8 2007, 04:31 PM)
ooo...nice detail indeed brows.gif
e-jump would love this, since he's been eye-ing this for so long laugh.gif

Haha, hopefully that convinces him to buy one. Not sure about the availability locally though, since she came out quite a while back. He could order from US retailers but shipping might be steep ^^;;

I don't know how they did it, but P-A managed to secure a batch of the highly sought after Max Factory Haruhi. So if any of you are among the ones constantly missing out on the preorders because hordes of Haruhi fans got there before you, you can order her here.

I'm tempted to get her myself, but I've already ordered the Metamo Haruhi and I'm much more of a Yuki fan. Can't wait for Max Fac's release with the removable cape! ^^

hmm they only have 3 of the Lamento figure, thinking of getting all four of them

Frustrating isn't it? The one they don't seem to have is the one I want most (Konoe) >_< Just preordered Rudy from them today ^^

QUOTE(LilKeV84 @ Jun 11 2007, 09:57 PM)
well, the 3rd batch has 20k units, so it should be enuf to satisfy the rest of the hungry ones tongue.gif

20k? o_o No wonder P-A has stock too then! They certainly know how to milk the Haruhi franchise XD

it sold out super fast, some ppl say US site might have it though

arg P-A got some nice gun x sword figure for super cheap price, hmm should i buy or not
*

I highly recommend getting them, they're both gorgeous - standard Max Factory quality ^^ I just ordered the Van which was on my wishlist for so long, almost bought him in Sg for S$70, luckily I didn't ^^;;

Already got the Wendy which I ordered from cdjapan which was 50% off at the time, can't beat P-A's price of $19.90 though (almost feel like ordering another one to keep in the box, haha XD). Just took some pics of her over the weekend, so lazy to sort and edit tho =_=;;

If you're purchasing anything above $50 feel free to use this coupon:

LU-YEI-IOS - $5 off $50+, expires 30 June - using my affiliate link would be nice but not necessary, esp since you have your own XD

hehe both the figures are awesome, van is so tall and rubbery lol. I had problem removing him from the base after he's attach though, very hard to take out. btw does ur van comes with two gold ring and carmen 2 keys, i wonder y, max fac scare ppl will lose it so give extra hehe
*

Haha yeah, the Van is so lanky for a 1/8 XD And yup, they did give a double set of keys/rings, good of them to do so (especially since I dropped one of Carmen's keys during her shoot and almost lost it =_=;; ).

Hmm, PA actually brought in the Noir et Blanc figures, Diana and Morte. Most people seem to prefer Morte (so do I), so if anyone only wants Morte getting it from them is a good idea instead of having to buy both (I hear XL is bringing them in, but only sold as a set at RM500+?). If anyone is buying those and needs a $10 off $50+ coupon feel free to PM me =)

Bloody PA and their 20% sales every year XD Now I think I won't be able to resist the 1/6 GSC Saber *dies* Trying to poison my bf into getting the Yamato Ryofu also =X

To browse the sales section easily (especially figure-related stuff), use the Discounts from $10-$20 and Discounts from $20 and above tabs - most discounted figures are grouped there =)

^Aaaagh the DN nendoroids! I really want the Light and L ones - and the Yuki nendoroid is out this month too I think. Supposed to budget this month cos going overseas for a concert, yet so many lovely things are tempting me~

There goes my resolve, just ordered the 1/6 Saber =X Let's see how consistent our beloved Pos Malaysia is and see whose arrives first, e-jump's or mine XD

o_o ... the 1:1 (Type Moon?) Haruhi looks more creepy than cute XD

Speaking of Haruhi, took some pics of my Max Fac Yuki:

More at my flickr =) My Yuki box was pretty beat up by the time it arrived as well, but I don't really mind seeing as I'm keeping her anyway.

Also, the fantastic Princess Waltz Iris figure just came in at P-A today - if anyone plans to order and needs a $10 coupon, PM me as usual =)

^Hmm, probably just a mistake in the picture. The price certainly reflects the Griffon one. The hair looks fantastic but will probably be a heart attack for anyone waiting for it to arrive intact in the post, I foresee a lot of hair ends breaking (which happened to quite a few people with the Kotobukiya 1/6 Witchblade and Creator Labo Simca resin statue).
QUOTE(LilKeV84 @ Jul 10 2007, 03:45 PM)
haha, i'll be on the lookout for it tongue.gif
wah, everyone's box nagato oso kemek ar tongue.gif

hopefully the next 2 coming will be fine laugh.gif

wah...nagato looks damn nice
i can't wait to take mine out from the box tonite biggrin.gif

The box is pretty big so it dents easily in transit unfortunately. Enjoy your Yuki, she looks fantastic out of the box! ^^

^No idea if RM20+ is a good price for that, but she looks really cute! Come to think of it I have too many Sabers in my collection already ^^;;

Hmm ... I guess RM300+ for a high demand 1/4 Haruhi isn't too bad XD

Shunya figures fly in less than a day as usual - luckily I preordered Rudy, just shipped today. My Revoltech dark Saber arrived too, no time to take pics till this weekend though. Just preordered the highly sought after GSC Mishiro Akatsuki figure from Shiok Toys and that's it for buying toys for the rest of the month unless I have leftover cash to get GSC's 1/6 Matou Sakura.

I wonder how many Akatsukis Shiok Toys managed to get. XL got 2 (so I read somewhere in this thread) and most online preorder sites sold out so fast its scary. Even HLJ only had it up for preorder for a day I think, and when I saw it it was already 'Quota Filled'.

For a figure that neither had a game nor a anime but is itself launching a line of media, I think that just goes to show how sexy the figure is.
*

I was actually surprised that Shiok Toys had her up for preorder, since preorders for her filled up almost instantly everywhere. So I pretty much gave up until I read my email today only to find that Shiok had slots open - hopefully they're actually able to deliver ^^;; She's definitely an outstanding figure, fantastic pose and top notch GSC-standard finish from the looks of the prototype.

QUOTE(miloy2k @ Jul 11 2007, 07:13 PM)
i already PO from XL teh 1/4 haruhi, just hope there is left some for me to haul sweat.gif

Hopefully you're assured of your Haruhi! Out of curiosity, how much are they retailing her for?
