Request for Figurine Information

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

Ok, so I've been hearing about these Figma figurines for awhile, and they just look too cool. So much so I really, really want to look into getting one, you know, when I actually have a job :D;;

Truth be told I just want a Geass figurine in general, but after all the amazingly hilarious photos I've been seeing around and a certain video that has yet to fail in making me giggle the last 20 times I've watched it, I'm pretty much set on a figma figurine.

So I would love some information like price wise, is it worth my time, where I could buy it that shipping won't make it seem like I just sold my soul, actually any information on where I could buy Geass figurines at a decent price would be wonderful

I ask mainly because I'm really weird about buying things online anyway, and I have zero clue where to look or where would be a good place to look thats not going to rip me off. I also can't read japanese, just in case thats relevant to obtaining any information.

Thank you very much for the help, and I hope its not too much trouble.

Thank you everyone for the information!! It was very helpful in my quest for a Figma Lulu!!

Lulu's shoes are too fabulous.

Oh yeah, tagged this with all that I thought applied. Will change if necessary.

You can check on ebay, just search figma lelouch and you'll find it. On average it would cost $40-$60 including shipping and if you're lucky you might find it cheaper.

Good luck!

Thank you very much!!

Yepp, I suggest ebay as well. Don't forget to check feedbacks of the sellers. (And if you're not good in spotting pirated products I would avoid sellers vom China as well).

I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you very much for the information!!

): i want.

also, off-topic. you have me friended... D| umm.

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

I do? Should I take you off? ^^; I'm still learning about livejournal for the most part, so theres still things I don't know what I'm doing, so I'm terribly sorry!! ><;

[vaguu.livejournal.com]

yes, i would like that. it just kind of scares me when people i don't know have me added. D8

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, I know. I hate it when people randomly pop up on MSN. I'm so sorry ><; I'll go take you off now!!

It says it's backordered, but they shipped mine out three days after I ordered it. o.o

Also, that video is why I ordered mine too. :b

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

Good to know, thank you for the link!!

And glad to know I'm not the only one who had to have a Figma Lulu after watching that video XD

[dragonlover58.livejournal.com]

Oh, just realized I forgot to add this- it was only $29 with shipping to the US. :b

[rubysp720.livejournal.com]

OMG! THANK YOU FOR THE LINK! I just bought one....*sheepish cough*

eBay is a bit pricey imo, for a figure who's retail price is under 3000 yen. As dragonlover58 posted, hlj.com has it and atm as I post this is 'low in stock'. And you don't have to worry about the feedback issue.

Not sure if anyone ever posted it, but there is also the Suzaku figma Figure (http://www.goodsmile.info/wf/wh8/products/wf9_max_01.html") coming out soon, albeit Wonder Festival 2008 summer exclusive. But that, if anyone is a Suzaku fan, would probably be the item to be looking for on eBay (or better yet, yahoo auctions JP) after August 3rd.

[rumichan.livejournal.com]

Gah, dead link up there.

Actual link. (http://www.goodsmile.info/wf/wh8/products/wf9_max_01.html)

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I fully intend to look around at prices before actually buying one.

And I'm totally jumping on that Suzaku figma figure *_* You can't have Lulu without Spinzaku Suzaku.

Thanks for the info!!

[mossygirl.livejournal.com]

Ditto on hlj.com. It'll be about $7 for shipping (well, more or less depending on where you are), but it's a good deal considering their base price is actually retail price (unlike Ebay). I got my figma Lulu from there and was very pleased with how fast it came, etc. ^_^

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, $7 sounds way better than the $15 shipping I saw for one on ebay.

Everyone says their shipping speed is very nice, so I'll definitely look into them.

Thank you very much!!

I posted this video about a month ago xD

this video is what made me decide upon getting the Lulu figma!
i bought mine from Ebay~~ i suggest buying it from there too ^^

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

Seriosuly? O_o Dang, I must have missed that post, cause I could have sworn it was my first time seeing the video the other night XD;;

Oh well, its too funny to not end up being posted again ^^

I'll definitely look around for prices before I buy, so I'll keep eBay in mind.

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

Please, don't ever buy it from eBay unless someone is selling it at the retail price. You'll be very ripped off. The figma Lelouch is only worth $24.

I also recommend HLJ for offering it at the street price and you can choose regular (non-EMS) shipping from them. I've ordered stuff from them before and it didn't take more than two weeks to reach me.

As for figma Suzaku, please don't kill your wallet by buying one from eBay after its release... I shake my head every time I see a figma Konata from WF 2008 [Winter] go up there and sell for $100+ (it's also only worth $24, and the sellers don't tell you that thousands upon thousands more were released after WF). I will probably do a group preorder for Suzaku and it will be delivered in November.

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

I won't be buying anything until I look around at prices, and at this point I'm definitely leaning more HLJ.

Ebay makes me nervous anyway. I'll still look into prices there, but probably just for comparison.

I'd love to know if you do end up doing the group preorder for the Suzaku figure, since I'm contemplating on that one as well.

Thank you very much for the info, very helpful.
