About

I probably spend waaaaaaay too much on my figure collecting hobby. But then it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make :D

Hellsing is favourite anime/manga of all time! It's a real shame there aren't more figures from it about. If you've got any spare Hellsing stuff you'd be happy to sell then let me know XD

I'm also a massive fan of BL :D. Games, manga, novels, anime - it's all good. Togainu No Chi, Ai No Kusabi and Koisuru Boukun (The Tyrant Who Falls in Love) are among my favourites.

I also play the piano and my favourite pianist is Chopin.

Your welcome about the discount code, When I got my reservation notice I thought to myself I am sure on facebook they posted a code that could be used through out may as I found it seem stupid not to share it with you -I was hoping you hadn't paid already- XD

I got him yesterday to, I love him! He is defiantly my fav as well out of all 3 of them. Now I just need to find some where to display them all together XD
I keep buying figures but I have run out of room really XD at the moment I've just put them on a shelf thats now got to many on and looks a mess X3 I've got 3 different ones sitting on the side as can't work out where to put them. I need to have another move around and make some room -it takes so long-

I am glad that your Shiki finally turned up, its horrible when things take to long and you think they have gotten lost. Hmm the quality? His hair was mine but he had a little mark on one of his gloves but its not to visible unless your really looking for it which is good.

Hehe I love the Altair line from Alter I haven't found a fault on any of the ones that I have gotten from then yet. Glad you like the Kazumas they are indeed a nice pair I loved the box they came in.
Lol ya I noticed to that Hideyoshi wasn't part of that line to, weird really seeing how he is a male character X3. He is worth getting though I was lucky not long after he sold out amiami had a tiny restock and I managed to get him from there, he's adorable.

Haha yes my Luke did arrive, I understand what you mean about displaying him, most of my other figures are quite dark colours Luke's hair defiantly isn't dark XD He's perfect though I can't fault him at all.
Suzaku also arrived, The cape is defiantly beautiful I just kept looking at it when I got it out of the box, its so pretty XD This is the first time I've ever had anything from Alpha x Omega and I must say I saw impressed his quality has to be up there with Alter.

I didn't get anything in the order I expect to though, SAL was a bit all over the place with time lengths, Out of all my april pre-orders I am still waiting for 2 things Chopper -but its not been long enough- and my Tiger and Bunny Chara fortunes which I was sure would turn up first as its now been 25 days =/ I hope they turn up soon

Luke 8 days
Tiger and Bunny Chara fortunes -still waiting been 25 days
Shiki 14 days
Tiger and Bunny Yura Tura clips 11 days
Suzaku 13 days
Kotetsu figuarts 15 days
Barbaby plush 11 days
chopper -still waiting only been 8 days

Sazuka, Kotetsu and Barnaby where all shipped on the same day =/ normally they would have turned up together but they didn't.

Yes the flynn Altiar plush does need a re-release, like you with your figures my Yuri plush needs his Flynn. Speaking of Altair Plushies I pre-ordered item #98956 and item #98955 there so cute, even if they are a september release -stupid september-

Haha is agree about Kazama, and he looks great sitting in that chair. Yes Saitou if the person is my profile picture and the one that the top of my page to, hes so pretty X3

Yes those two Tiger and Bunny items, while prob just be on my wish list forever, they will prob be expensive as there partly by Medicom Toy and there range always is or he will be uber expensive because there an exclusive =/ Hope there not though, Kotetsu would be nice to have.

Aww I so need those UtaPri petit nendoroids, they look so cute. I don't know when they go up for pre-order either I just hope there not released in september.
I had the end of the year as they release loads of great stuff but last year I had to miss out on some stuff as I'm very much in to my games and Q4 is always full of them -I love special editions-
But I will make sacrifices for certain stuff XD

Haha its ok no worries about when you reply I know Uni exams cane be really busy =3

=3 Indeed that's why I don't mind some times the postage being so much because the book is worth it, I have quite a few art books I love the amazing art in them haven't bought one for a while though.

I've not played the Kuichiku Megane game but I have read the manga adaptation they did =3. I never got through the anime series for TNC, the artwork was a bit of a put off for a start it wasn't very well done at all.

I know I really want my Damaged Akira XD Hopefully it will be soon -hoping any day now XD- Though I do tent to find I get an update/re-stock e-mail on a sunday so perhaps we might hear something then.

I'm sure your Luke will turn up soon he is totally worth the wait. The only tracking I find update correctly is EMS. I had 3 different things posted on the 1st may so hoping they turn up at the beginning of next week.

I got Shiki yesterday after 14 not opened him yet though had work yesterday evening then work again this morning, been home since 5.30 and still haven't opened him -so tired haven't got the energy might do it in a min- Akira needs him.

Still waiting for my T&B Chara Fortunes they where posted before anything else been 19 days now, thought they might turn up today but didn't get anything. Like you said the delivery times have been a bit strange for me lately, epically this month.

I know stupid MegaHouse I wonder if you did it because it was T&B never had any problems ordering any of them other figures from the GEM series just that one. I might have managed to get one from amiami -ive been lucky before got the chibi arts Kotetsu and Barnaby-, though never managed to get the Origami Cyclone Figuarts ;-; I made it to the check out with him but kept getting error messages so never got him I still want him though =(

Aww lucky of the TNC Shiki figure I've had luck like that before, I got the Trinity Blood Esther Blanchett for £10, Shame I doubt I will ever find Abel for that XD

I agree Alter make amazing figures I either own or have pre-ordered all of the Altair line figures except UtaPri's Ittoki Otoya but I can't wait to see the Prototype for him I hope they make all of the other boys. I still need to find the alter Tales of Vesperia Flynn Plush I managed to get Yuri but can't have one with out the other XD

item #27630 and item #50791 are hands down my favs out of the ALTAIR line.

YAY some one else that loved the Summer Wars film, such a brilliant movie

Oh I pre-ordered him now, Love the aubergine deficiently going to display him riding it XD

All of the Hakuouki figures are on my list of wish but prob never get I couldn't afford them at the beginning when they came out as you had to pay up front on BIJ and I couldn't do that but I don't want to get the odd ones that are being release now or still in stock cause I have to have them all if im going to get the set, Though if I just could have one it would be Saitou perhaps one day I will

I love artbook's some have some amazing art in them on of my other fav's is item #48046

Ya hopefully it will be in the next few days that EOA get him in they did say prob this week some time, can't wait to get him either all 3 need to be displayed together can have two either out the other XD

I'm still waiting for my Shiki as well though it has been only 13 days, normally takes about 15 days SAL.
I've had that problem when reg. SAL tracking doesn't seem to update I once got a figure before it updated said it was still in Japan =/ but my Luke one updated. I have one for Suzaku but haven't checked that one recently.

Would have thought you would have got your Luke by now I think the most I've waited for SAL is just under 4 weeks for one -I really had thought it had gotten lost-

I've found lately that SAL is a bit hit a miss with its days lately, as I managed to get my Luke in 8 days o.0 and I've just got home to find a parcel with what I was sue would be the Tiger and Bunny Chara Fortunes as its 16 days today but turned out it was actually the Tiger and Bunny Yura-Yura Clip collection which has only been 11 days =/

Haha ya always seems to be a lot of T&B stuff especially the April lot. No I'm mortified that I didn't get the GEM Kotetsu ;-; I got the times confused and didn't realise the pre-orders opened at 10am here its normally 7 or 8am I would have been find it it was 9 or earlier but I had work today and had to be there by 10am so I wasn't in, I tired to my phone to get it from BIJ but my phone decided to be gay when it came to paypal and wouldn't go through for me on my phone;-;
Acutally as I'm writing this I've just ordered him with nippon-yasan not sure if it will all go through the reviews on the store seem a bit hit and miss =/ I so I get him from there

Aww jelly, the military Akira and Shiki are on my list of items I prob won't get ;-;, the Alter Summer Wars Kazuma figures as worth it I bought them when they came out there a lovely paid. I also try to forget about how much I spent as that was just pre-orders I made quite a few impulse buys and that just anime/figure related I bought a few games as well in april XD

Me either -touch wood- which is why I prefer to use BIJ as they lower the value XD

Ya I know but the artbook was worth the pain of paying that much for postage, was this one item #51319

Its horrible to get caught by customs it's so annoying we have such a shit limit and the fact they lowered it from £18 to £15 -money grabbing bastards -sorry XD-

I was lucky with GEM Emperor Lelouch BIJ sent him SAL Parcel but it was a decent postage not like the 4000+ every one else was giving for it

I prefer BIJ because of asking for lower customs, I know its technically illegal but its also annoying to pay tax on top -I pay enough with work as it is XD -Sorry for mini rants every where-

I asked EOA last week on facebook about Akira and they said it was on there way after a little delay so should be with the this week YAY

Yes april was very painful just glad that I had a load of money in my paypal from clearing out some games to pay for most of it

mine worked out Alter Tales of the Abyss Luke - Paid and Shipped and received (7 184¥ inc. shipping)
Kotobukiya Togainu no Chi Shiki - Paid and shipped ( 6 624¥ inc. shipping)
Bandai Tiger and Bunny Kotetsu figurarts - paid ( 5 380¥ inc. shipping)
Banpresto Premium ver Prize figure One Piece chopper/Laboon - paid ( 2 380¥ inc. shipping)
MegaHouse tiger and bunny chara fortune - paid and shipped (6150¥ inc. Shipping)
Alter Barnaby plush -paid and shipped (3 368¥ inc. shipping)
Alpha x Omega Code Geass Suzaku - paid and shipped[ 8 760¥ inc. shipping)
Plex TIGER & BUNNY YuraYura Clip - paid and shipped (4,980¥ inc. shipping)

Grand total 44,826¥ (about £346.32) ;-; so much money XD and that doesn't even include impulse buys just glad not all months are like that
DanciOuch! I hate it when you get caught out by shipping - I've only had it happen twice, once for GEM Emperor Lelouch (£40 shipping with £30 customs on top -argh!) and with my 1/3rd scale Kyuubey where I paid more for shipping than the figure D:.

On the positive side I've just had my GEM Suzaku order through and shipping is WAY cheaper than anticipated XD Happy dance!

Mhm - I think I'm gonna start ordering the more expensive figs from BIJ to save on customs trauma :D Plus I'm gonna have to keep a better track on my pre-orders, haha. This month has been INSANE!! Wonderful, but terrible for my wallet :3

Come on Akira! Ooo - my Shiki's been posted too ^_^ the three of them are gonna look amazing!

xx
