  3. You sure seem upset that we fucked off and made another server so that we can have easy access to an admin/mod to make changes. Shouldn't you be happy that you and your friends have a free space to talk rather than sit in the channel we used, muted and deafened as a group.

    The Toy Thread

    I've been meaning to make this for months so hear it is. Whilst this is going to be very heavily anime based feel free to post whatever you want you related, think of it was the a splinter of the Want Thread, statues are fine too. It has probably been quite evident I've gotten quite into Toy Collecting in the past 6 months. Started with the NECA Preds, into 3A and now with Figmas (and i'm pretty happy with Figmas at the moment probably until I run out of characters that I like). I've also gained quite a big insight into the world toy collecting be it through /toy/ being my main board now, dozens of forums and ordering about £1500 from China/Japan in the last 6 months. So to start with, links to websites that I've gotten the most use out of with some description. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mandarake http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/ Mandy, the store i've used the most and will continue to use for a long time. It is a secondhand store (stores based around Japan), but the only thing that means is they don't take pre-orders and don't have an connections with the suppliers. Usually items are unopened in box and if not are usually mint anyway (Japanese collectors are A LOT more anal when it comes to "mint in the box"). When Mandarake say there is "slight box damage" that usually means it has been subject to the very harsh weathering that a slight breeze might incur. Incoming stock is updated on the site bi-daily (A smaill update at the end the day and the rest in the morning). The one problem that can happen on Mandy is that because it is still a retail store, whilst your order is pending it is entirely possible that it is bought before you get your invoice through, (The process is Add to Cart -> Order -> Mandy Employees physically go and find the product to make sure it's in stock -> Invoice ->Shipping details sent) and considering these are big stores, it's usually a 1-3 day wait. I do recommend Mandy assuming you're not looking for rare items because they will be gone by the time your invoice is sent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BigBadToyStore http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/default.aspx BBTS, I don't really know a lot about BBTS, it functions in the same way as AmiAmi but has a smaller selection of Asian stuff and a much larger selection of Western stuff. If you're into any Marval/DC or Star Wars lines i'd recommend, Transformers as well but i'm not too familiar with both the site and the pricing on their western stuff. They do however take pre-orders for Asain toys but it is slightly ramped up because of import charges, can also be quite expensive to use out of America. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ AmiAmi http://www.amiami.com/ AmiAmi, probably the most used site for pre-orders/secondhand items. AmiAmi have a a lot to offer. If it's coming from Japan in the future, it will be there to pre-order, not just toys but DVD/Games, Clothing, Manga and I think i've seen Dakis on there too (STAY AWAY FROM PRE-OWNED DAKIS PLEASE). However if you are planning to use AmiAmi, more so for Pre-orders than Secondhands, is make sure you have the funds in your account at the time of billing. AmiAmi is no nonsense when it comes to this shit. First strike and you're out and they very rarely take excuses so be careful if you pre-order far into the future. I haven't heard a lot of postive things about their customer service either bu each to their own on that. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They are the big three in my opinion, but other useful sites include HobbyLink Japan - http://www.hlj.com/ - HLJ, I barely know anything about HLJ, almost looks like Mandarake with a more limited stock. GoodSmile Company's own store - http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/ - GSC, the producers of Nendoroids and at this point a lot of Figma often have exclusives for pre-ordering through them (Figma Satsuki [Kill La Kill] comes with Bakzuan Gako and Koury as pre-order exclusives) Amazon JP - http://www.amazon.co.jp/ - Kind of speaks for itself really, just the jap version of Amazon. Never used it myself, think you might need to a proxy to make orders though Ebay - http://www.ebay.com/ - Another obvious one, if you really really can't find something anywhere else, try Ebay. This is where you need to be on Red Alert though. As a general rule of thumb DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM CHINA OR MARKED AS 100% CHINA VERSION; Not everything from China is a bootleg but we're talking 99% here, and China Version items are 100% bootlegs. I'm going to grab some posts underneath this to continue and not overload a single post.

    Except thats fucking retarded because the connection there is Shin Itagaki (who is directing Berserk) which would be fine if not for the fact that Itagaki was practically the one-man band behind Tekyuu. I'm not justifying the CGI (which i'm not too bothered about, but the quality in general is poor) but to say that it's shit because the studio only knows Teekyuu is baseless.

    Mobile Gaming

    Fate/Grand Order (Free iOS+Android [with QooApp] ) Gacha Based Fate RPG that (i think) incorporates a lot of plot points from Fate/Apocrypha, quite an unforgiving gacha but you're showered with the in game currency it uses Shironeko (Free iOS(?)+Android [with QooApp] - Gacha Based dungeon crawler that uses one finger to control (currently the highest grossing app on the android App store) Also happy to share or add any friend codes for most of the popular gacha Mobage's since it's more than likely that I play them.
