Yep, we will go. Rugi la you not datang today. Kev oredi brought your MF Tsuruya

From the height, seems to be lil bit small than 1/10 figurines

That's why I said they are close to 1/10. They are not 1/10 though

Painted sample below. Make sure nobody behind you when u click the spoiler tag

Haha, you live with family ka? If so, quick-quick find ur own house

Dunno yet, but guessing from the manufacturer(Yamato), and the size(23cm, should be 1/7), the price most probably will be less than RM 250.
BTW, I too still studying right now (UPM). Stay in hostel at UPM, and my parents stil didnt know I collect figure

Me too, but my leftover after paying for fees is only RM 300. Te rest I have to chip some from my monthly allowance

PA lng ago have run out of Nix(few hours after Nix available there, she sold out already). Got mine from Hobby Search, through preorder

Found someone who want to sell Nix at Xltoysforum. Her price not stated though

Also you can try:
http://www.hlj.com
http://www.1999.co.jp <--go for bulk order at this site, most of the time you can get same or less price than play-asia, and they use EMS, which are trackable and fast to arrive

Now waiting for AlphaxOmega CC to arrive. Kena tahan by kastam

To be exact, the parcel that contains my CC and several valho's stuff is detained by customs. If detained by customs, a letter will arrive to tell you about it. Then you will have to go all the way o KLIA to collect it. They will ask you to open the parcel, and verify the total value(plus shipping) of the parcel. If exceed some value, have to pay tax. If not, lepas lah. Most of the parcel didnt kena tax, the painful things are, KLIA is far

I personally didnt have the experience, coz I usually tumpang someone else order, or order through someone else(like be@rbrick). However, LilKev84 and be@rbrick sometime got their parcel detained by customs

I also not sure, but most probably Goodsmile will act as agent to sell the listed companies's products. Each company produce their own product, but may share resources with each other. Permission to produce product of certain series also shared between the companies (I think that's why most of Haruh-related figure comes from company under Goodsmile). Oh, and Goodsmile also produce their own product(they are figurine maker too you know).
If I'm not mistaken, Alter broke from the "alliance" already, and now is in a partnership with Megahouse (through AlphaxOmega)

~Just my two cents though

However, people whose most of their Shining Wind figurines comprises of Kotobukiya's might as well stick to the Kotobukiya's one, coz although both is same in scale, the actual height of the figure may differ between each manufacturer (which make them not very well-matched when put besides each other).

Meh, 6800 yen only at Hobby Search

I might get them if suddenly in April and July I got extra RM200+. April already preordered this:

Hmm, then you must regularly(or camping in front of ur PC, refreshing PA's page on April) check PA in April, coz although the preorder are fully booked, there will be a small number of the figure being sold at the store (and they usually will sold out within a day, if they are the popular ones;for example Queen's Blade Nix, which appear for about a day at PA b4 sold out). And also take note that sometimes PA is not getting the stock at all due to some reason(like what happen to my Queens Blade Airi preorder;until now still in preorder status-I canmcelled though)

Haha, not exactly. That depends on my budget, and the figure on that month.Actually after Shizuka, I'm pretty much pokai (April is the last month I ever get allowance from my family as a student, coz April is the last month of my study in UPM). I usually plan ahead what I'm gonna buy for each semester (my Queens Blade figures after Echidna and Reina is bought that way), with some figure preordered months before thay released(example are my Megahouse's Tomoe, Erina, Nix, Yamato's Sonsaku). Some are bought on impulse, like AlphaxOmega's C.C, Bandai's Nono and Griffon's Ryofu(coz both of them are cheap, about RM 50+ each).

Aside from scale figure, I usually bought at least one gashapon everytime I'm in BTS/S Wang/Lowyat area, and gunpla(although the amount of Gunpla I bought are reduced by a lot, coz still got some not assembled)

Haha, yep. I think they start their Ikkitousen line with Kanu. Most of Griffon's Ikkitousen figure is cold cast, only a few made it to PVC, and not to mention their Ikkitousen's figure most of the time is ecchi

My recent haul(thanks to valho):

Lelouch too small la. And I'm already pokai this month(and probably next month also)

Haha, I'm surprised XL manage to bring her to M'sia. Anyone getting her?
Actually I want, but pokai already

Huhu, Griffon's figure (from my opinion) seems smaller from their stated scale. For example, my Griffon's Kanu and Ryofu should be 1/6 (as stated on the box), but the actual height is more to 1/7 to 1/7.5
