restock and as usual just 1 only

stock wise depends one woh, sometimes HS faster and someties HLJ faster, from what I know HLJ stock doesn't update immediately, so sometimes your order might go through but maybe no stock already.
HLJ have two type of preorder though, early bird where you get 5% discount, this usually open for short period thn no more, they will open the normal preorder at a later date.
HS stock is update as soon as you put in your order, that's how I know when they restock it's usually just 1 only

EMS is like pos laju, no one home they leave a card and you go to the Pos laju office to collect.
Yes SAL is untraceable and the item might arrive fast or it might take a long time to arrive, hence I nvr use SAL. Most probably won't get lost just that you dunno when it'll arrive lo
For peace of mind always use EMS, arrive fast and you can track it , if I want to get a figure cheap i use PA, but usually when I only have 1 figure to get for that month, more than one I use HS since can combine shipping

ahh Ringo, risky item to import in haha, time to pay XL a visit and see if they are getting her.
As for Haruka, it's just a prototype, the final one might have another rod to hold a left foot, like Alter Nadie, the prototype only have 1 rod but the final one have two
What I don't really like is her expression like a bit cacat

Ringo in school uniform or any others clothing she use to wear with spec will be fine but too bad dun have loh

EMS should be ok one can track mah

that;s y my parcel all send to office so that the reception can receive it if I not around.
Local post office lauya one sometimes didn't give the card, but for my Hobby Search EMS no problem so far, usually arrive 3-4 days and i keep track of it so that I know whether pass custom or not

email PA and let them know so that they can check. Usually items from PA takes about 1 week from shipping date to arrive.

nice XL open preorder for Ringo, must go there and preorder soon hehe

just went to XL BTS to order Ringo hehe

Koto figures have US releases so you can actually get them cheaper buying from the US, problem is not all figures will be release in the US though and usually they are release later than the Japan.

nice haul btw, really cheap

well no Peorth or Urd from Koto yet, but there's Mao though

agree agree

hmm seems like I got nothing from August onwards at the moment, good

Most recent purchase hehe, now waiting for figma Saber

Max Factory Mikuru of course

no problem

pose and expression I prefer the Koto version, colorwise Alter version is better,

I won't be surprise if the Alter final version have a metal pole as well, like their Nadie .

Damage version is Koto not Alter. Detail wise both are almost the same, just that Alter color looks more vibrant but I find the expression a bit bland, Koto version also abit chubbier it seems lol. If you look closely, Koto version on the chest part, it's fishnet, detailed man, while Alter one is just plain black.

That's y in the end I couldn't decide which to get, so most probably won't be getting either

some of mine are on my table as well, I just use one of those small make up brush to clean the figure. But make sure you clean frequently though, coz after sometime the dust will stick and might leave marks on your figures, especially on white color.

they just got back from holiday, so shipping will be a bit slower for the time being

My Nida have arrived

already on the shipping box there got US Postal service haha
btw which online store you ordered it from and how much, been looking for this figure for ages

anime wild huh, how long did it takes to arrive. I ordered from them before, bad experience, took over 1 month to reach and no reply to any of my inquiries

proper shoot of Nida, enjoy

that's probably one of the cheapest price you can get. Out of stock figures that are still in demand usually go up in price after sometime and since figures are not reissue often, it's practically impossible to get them at normal price. btw the original price of Max Factory is around RM280 if you import it yourself (based on Hobby Search pricing)
