My July loot comprises following nendoroids:-
1) Ritsu-the day I received Ritsu the Evil/Good smile company re-released her
2) Support Miku Hatsune- I am waiting on my Good Smile Order.I sourced this from the Japanese release
3) Airi x2 -Been especially awaiting her arrival
4) Riela x 2 -now awaiting Imuka
5) Erika - very pretty but pricey
6) Saigyou Jiyuyuko -still collecting Touhou
7) Lynette Bishop -to join Francesca Lucchini
Also got board and sleeves
I have opened Riela and she is lovely but I was disappointed with her funny colour sword & shield
That sucks about Ritsu...you must have paid like 8000 JPY an up
I had been waiting and waiting for GSC to release Ritsu.In the end I did not think it would ever happen.
I have the other 5 K-on gals and the petit set so I decided in the end to complete my set.
I wonder what the next re-release will be?
Great loots! Nice card sleeves! ;)
thanks (^.^)
Its really sad that you can get Miku faster from a second company than directly from GSC. Between this and the incident at Amiami where foreign orders got less of a discount, it seems GSC is determined to drive away foreign customers.
Don't forget these support products are first offered in Japan.So they get to pre-order and receive almost a month sooner than the rest of the world.Also it is first time GSC rolled out items to Rest of the World so there may be a few teething problems.
What is so frustrating with Amiami is that all the popular products such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica get sold out so quickly.Don't even get a chance to pre-order.
If you know something is coming out, you almost have to stay up (US, Eastern Tiem Zone) till amiami updates their page to order. I've lost a few things because of it, and I naturally wake up about 4 hours after the update. Like the ToHeart2 Nendoroid set. I did manage to get the Madoka Petit set, but it was sold out a few hours later when I checked again.
On a side note, Madoka School Uniform version from WonFest is up for orders on GSCs site.
I struggled to get the Madoka Petit set.In the end I managed to get it from Otacute.
I would have been gutted if I failed to get that petit set.
Same problem with Mami Tomoe nendo -again luckily got from Otacute
I have given up on the 2Heart set.
I will conc on getting the GSR Miku 2011 and the new Miku append from todays WF.
Thanks for letting me know about Madoka School Uniform version
The idea that they release a product like this first in Japan where they know some companies will ship overseas is what bothers me. They should send them all out worldwide at the same time. I don't use Amiami anymore after they decided to give the big discounts to in Japan clients only so I go with Hobby Search and Otacute these days. Bad enough feeling like an outsider at times when I visit Japan, I certainly don't want it rubbed in my face like that.
I hope you get your Support Miku soon. We are all in the same boat outside of Japan.
The Japanese Miku I already got I had to pay a premium. My GoodSmile order is EMS which in the UK atracts Custom charges so whatever method I use the overall cost should be similar for me.
I mostly use Hobbysearch because I can change my mind within a 5 day period.I still use Amiami Otacute & HLJ.Recently I have made a pre-order with Big in Japan.
Woa nice board! I didn't recall any A4 mats coming out for the Sora No Otoshimono show. Are they soft folders or pencil boards? Nice work getting the support Miku. I'll resist the temptation to buy a Japanese release version and wait for mine from GSC Orz
The only support product I ordered was Miku.I don't like the Puchitto Rock Shooter nendo.
I would have liked to get Nendoroid Gumako: Support version.Put of by EMS and Custom charges.
The Sora No Otoshimono items are not pencil boards.They are descibed as a soft file set.
Basically a set of 4 A4 double sided very colourful soft files.
I thought Imuka wasn't out till late august anyway Riela's weapons look a bit washed out in colour, if they painted in more bluish it would look closer the game since its supposed to simulate the valkyrian flame.
I am anxiously awaiting Imuka's release which as you say should be end of August.It is a real shame about the wishy/washy sword & shield colour.
