Happy Birthday

Have a nice birthday :D

Dammit, she costs a lot too... T_T

I know this one had to be competitive with Enterbrain's, but man...

Nevermind about the points thing; just looked it up.

It's nice, but I'm not a frequent buyer, and that's precisely what the points system wants you to be; it pressures you to keep buying to try and use the discount points, but you'll just keep getting more and more until you decide to stop, and then those points will be gone in a year. It's a fiendishly clever system, and it's probably better that I don't get involved in it. Amiami provides a (slightly) larger discount and won't be nipping at your heels to continue business with them, which is fine for an infrequent buyer like myself.

Well, to be honest I didn't really care for the cast-off clothing; Siggy's appeal for me comes from her outfit, and taking off her outfit will detract from that (I like the detachable sleeves though). Clothing fetish FTW I guess. That said, I probably would've done it once, than regretted it when I spend 2 hours or so getting her clothes back on. Thanks for the thread; didn't know the entire line had this problem.

I preordered Kureha at Amiami because they had her cheapest there. I know Hobby Search has that points system, but I'm not sure if it's worth dabbling into that. Just how much does one point contribute to a discount?

And no Clalaclan for me; I think Kureha herself and her pose looks better.

So I went with your advice (even though it almost amounted to get em all) and went with Kureha; she's cheaper than Siggy (I wasn't expecting Siggy to cost THAT much; apparently their Rebellion figures are more expensive than the regular Queen's Blade figures) and at a bigger scale, though I guess that won't matter since swimsuit figures tend to be rather barebones with accessories. I've also heard cast-offs can be a pain to deal with. But what ultimately steered my decision was their bums; Siggy's looked a little weird, and too defined for me, while Kureha's is perfect. XD

So yeah, it seems this will be my first step into swimsuit figures. That honor could've gone to Alter's Kos-Mos had I not been so late on this whole collecting dealie.

I have no idea which of the following to buy, and no, "all of them" can't be an answer. I'd like to hear your thoughts on each:

I've already kinda decided on Siggy; Megahouse's other Queen's Blade figures have been affordable (for the most part) and look great. The problem is there hasn't been too many pics of her and I don't know her price.

I would've gotten Kureha already if her face wasn't a bit off from the original artwork, plus I haven't played Shining Wind or watched the anime.

Every time I try to watch Fate/Stay Night I end up getting sidetracked. That said, Rin looks to probably be the best of the bunch. I just don't know how much she'll cost.

I would've gone with Ikaros if she wasn't so darn expensive; $100 is pretty much my limit for these figures. I've never heard of Grands either.

I've been perfectly happy with all my Alter figures (they make up half of my collection out of a whopping 4 figures XD). The problem is I have no idea when Selvaria will be released or how much she'll cost.

I suppose my main question is, should I jump on Kureha now or wait for one of the others?

Thanks. Not sure I am doing this right. Your's it the first post I've replied to.

A One Piece fan, I like that! Megahouse do a pretty good job with their One Piece line. I was always tempted to get me one, just might one day if they do make a Law figure. :)

Good luck with the budget. Sometimes it's best to just order the figures and let things work itself out. ;)
