Mon 2011/01/17 02:55 JST
Just a quick thought, what have been your favourite figurine bargains? Anything that you've spotted by random at a good price, or something you wouldnt have normally bought other wise, mine are as follows, all instances of mine were bought at London Anime Expo.
First is the World is Mine Miku which i picked up for about £55, which is about £10 less than the actual RRP from GSC, result! (and this was in 2010 as well).
Second up are probably not very popular, but i like them, i managed to pick up 2 Sega game prize figures of Summer Haruhi and Mikuru from the Endless Eight, £20 for the both of them! They're quite nice quality as well.
So figure.fm, what have been your greatest figurine related bargains?
ahhh, i should have cleaned her before taking a picture >___________<
A Haruhi Suzumiya Nendoroid for £5 (Official boxed with all parts), from an Anime Society Meet.
Sadly that's the only one I can think of really, I usually get ripped off otherwise :P
GSC's 1/8 Dead Master for about $80 shipped. 50% off + shipping is within the US. Very happy, wouldn't have been able to got her otherwise.
At London Expo I got the Zelda First4Figures Sheik statue for £25 MIP, when retail is around £100... nevermind it was produced in very limited numbers and is very hard to find. This was a couple years ago now but I still find it hard to believe!
I got all these at the london expo too! 8D.
There really are some amazing bargains to be had once you sift through the bootlegs and junk! xD
I got her pretty cheap recently too, but I have yet to receive her. She looks really nice, so I'm glad :)
I managed to find a rather cheap Grandline Men Trafalgar Law at a recent con, but yeah I don't usually find bargains ^^;
Well probably mu best figure bargains were:
GSC Chidori Kaname for around $17
GSC Black Rock Shooter for around $70 including shipping
Kotobukiya Pastel Ink for $15
GSC Komaki Manaka for $15
Those are just the four that pop into my head first. But I've gotten a lot of figures for below retail because of sales or auctions.
my best bargan was Alter Yui Hirasawa for 4000 yen. Me and my local anime store go WAAAAAAY back.
I got the Rika Wave figure on eBay for $20 because the the title of the auction was misspelled and therefore didn't attract as much attention as it would have otherwise :3
That Hatsune Miku -The World is Mine- is my favorite :3 she's also my 1st completed & my first online purchase from japan
