I really want a Figure of Lt. Col MILF. I mean holy christ dude. Dem assets.

Also, I picked up my C.C. Yukata Fig. (SQ/Banpresto) from my mailbox. The box was damaged and frankly, I'm not sure if its "new"?

I dunno, the box received damage from shipping and the tape looked pretty old. Although the figure itself seems undamaged. Any ideas/tips on helping me spot a new/used figure?

That's good news money-wise since her and the Bakemonogatari BD set were heavy purchases in the same month, but I shudder to think of the torment it'll go through during the holidays. Post Office people just don't give a shit, doubly so during the holidays when there's just so much stuff in circulation, and so I fear for her safety.

Luckily AmiAmi has always done a good job of packing their figures so they get through unscathed. Plus that's why I went with EMS for her. The less time the postal employees have to touch the package, the safer she'll be.

I recently order this NSFW Erio figure NSFW from AmiAmi and selected SAL Small Packet (Registered). It took two weeks exact for delivery. They were right about taking two to three weeks for delivery.

I was very impressed that the box arrived in pristine condition. AmiAmi packaged Erio with a good amount of paper to protect her. It took longer but picking the cheaper shipping option lessens the damage to the wallet for me.

Yeah, I usually go with SAL Small Packet Registered, except recently I've been combining all my orders into one monthly order, so I have to use SAL Parcel. In either case, AmiAmi has always packed my figures up real nice and snug so they're not shifting around, but not so tight that the packaging damages them, and the boxes they ship in are all real sturdy, so I'm confident any figure I get from them will arrive in one piece.

I think I've bitched about this before, but I'll do it again: umm, why aren't there like a bajillion Fairy Tail figures? It's a bona fide franchise with character designs absolutely ripe for exploitation, yet my quick Google search failed to yield evidence of a single PVC figure. Does not compute.


Yeah, I'm with you on this. Fairy Tail is practically tailor made for a massive figure campaign too. Even if someone like GSC only released the females, there are a ton of characters that they could be making. There's gotta be something behind the scenes preventing it, because no figure maker out there would not want to basically be printing money with these figures.

I am interested in pre-ordering Kanade (Mayo Chiki!) but there may be a problem. At AmiAmi, it says it is for sale in Japan only. Are you still able to order it with non-Japanese address?

At Hobby Search, it lets you order Kanade without the restriction.

Yup, I've ordered many items from AmiAmi that were listed as "For sale in Japan only" and I've never once been refused. So, buy with confidence.

Yeah, but that's only because you've bought so much stuff from them that they consider you an honorary Japanese citizen. Wink

Yeah, I don't know why amiami bothers putting that statement in. Many, many of us who don't live in the Land of the Rising Sun have ordered from them without difficulty.

What series is "this" series. Do you mean the Aria the Animation/Origination/Natural?

Yeah, there's about 100 of them. Assuming you're talking from the series Aria. If you're talking a figure of a character called Aria, then you'll have to be more specific.

In that case, then no, not to my or MFC's knowledge. In fact, their database only shows 4 garage kits, 3 Cecily's and a Lisa.

Good news in an odd way. Delivery of my order for KnK Shiki in kimono has been delayed until late January, which suits me fine as I'm broke at the moment. Phew.
