Well, as any successful business knows "Market Price" is very simply the price at which an informed, and willing buyer buys something. So if no-one wants to buy something at a specific price, then it's "Over Market", if only a few people are willing to pay then it's "High Market", and if you sell out in minutes, that's a good indication of being "Under Market".

 

Man... you got my hopes all up, but when I went to that site is was some crazy French shit...

It's called "some mom & pop store within Japan that's totally off-limits to us foreigners."  

 

So, back in 2011, I sacrificed the chance to acquire Artille in favor of nabbing figma Yoshika Miyafuji, figuring (correctly) that it was a small window and trying to grab the Strike Witch later would be a massive pain in the ass in both effort and money spent due to that franchise about to release the movie. However, the presumed idea HLJ would fill my backorder for Artille when I finally had enough cash proved misleading when they simply discontinued the listing and didn't tell me. I was not happy when I found this out months later.

For the past three years, I've been trying to track my pink grail down where she wouldn't be scalped to hell and back, since the silent demise of the line seemed to make her all the more valuable. Of course, she basically kind of looks like Metal Gear Rex (this is Konami we're talking about here) so naturally she's highly appealing just on that alone.

Now, thanks to Trenner Dios, I finally have my little Lynx without having to sacrifice my right testicle. Incidentally, acquiring Artille also completes the set of MMS Cat types (character wise, that is, since I don't have nor intend to get the exclusive versions) alongside Tigris and Mao (the latter also having been the only other Shinki of mine to come from another owner, oddly enough), and it feels good to have her standing among my little ladies, even if she's barely taller than Pomock and Partio despite wearing her big shoes. I'll try to post pics later.

 

Well congrats.  

 

Werkstra's here.

 

i never though i would see this thread (properly) alive again!

let's take the chance and post a couple quick related pics before the thread goes back to zombieland!

I know these were posted in my comic thread, but I'll post them here as well to keep this thread alive a little while longer.

 

Like a BOSS!

I can't find Pomock and a few others. I think they're mad at me for not playing with them for so long...  

 

Bought the Minecraft Steve with Diamond armor figure the other day, and decided to introduce him to the Fencer-sisters:



Steve:  

Albern: Um... Master?

TBK: Yes Albern?

Albern: Is this the guy from that Minecraft game you play?

TBK: Yep, it is.




Albern: *Picks Steve up* AWWW... He looks so cute looking with his little sword and armor!

Steve:   




Albern: Zilvern will love to meet Steve as well.

Zilvern: Eh?




Zilvern: Who's that?

Albern: It's Steve, from Minecraft.

Zilvern: Minecraft?

Albern: You know, the game Master plays on his computer.

Zilvern: Oh yeah, that game.


Later...




Steve:  

Albern: *Giggles* It seems he likes us, doesn't it Zilvern?

Zilvern: *Giggles* Yes it does.

TBK:   Well it looks like you all are getting along quite well.

Albern, Zilvern, and Steve:  

 

Quick, randomtastic question, is there anywhere one could find archived versions of the figures instruction manuals?

 

depends on the figures... wait a sec... do you have shinkis??? 0_o!!!

 

Can't say I do.
Would like to get at least one at some point.

 

setting up my figures for my next comic update... and accidental fanservice happens!

Hellooooooo Nurse! by Halconfenix, on Flickr

 

Hey guys, does anyone know what's wrong with BSW? I tried visiting the site, but it's giving me an error message.

 

*sigh* the hosting provider renamed some things. I'll open a support ticket.

 

It's back up now.

 

Cool. I was concerned for a bit.

 

can someone explain busuo shinki's to me? ive seen them in polenicus's comic warring at play.

from what i think i understand you buy a female figure without armor and then you buy the armor? right? and you can also buy figurees with armor? and you can interchange them all?

 

The figures come with their armor, each wave is two that match a certain theme. Most armor can be transferred from figure to figure with some caveats when they swapped to a different body style. A few of the original "EX" sets were just the armor and head, no body.
