Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

[Raithos]

Oh my god all of this stuff I am discovering. I desire so much of it ;.;

Get it, GET IT ALL! Become addicts like us and throw your cash away to get it, GET IT. It makes my heart and soul feel so good and happy when I get my precious coveted figures.

Haha it hurts at first when you order something and then see your money go bye-bye. But then by the time your order gets to you, you've already forgotten how much you've spent and it feels like you're getting gifts in the mail!

My wallet cries, but my heart is at ease with happiness. I worry about what I'm spending but hey we only live once right. Might as well do what makes you happy.

[Drabaz]

My thoughts exactly! I'm just upset that I went 5 months without buying anything and missed out on rare items. I saved up so much in those 5 months just so I could go to Japan and spend it all on Dragonball stuff there. Then a week before I was to leave, the earthquake happend .

Oh god you have no idea. I collect Pokemon merch, so spending isn't new. I've had times where I'll buy and then forget what I ordered, so it becomes a surprise every time I get mail.
Although that end of collecting has gotten quiet, and I miss getting mail at least 3 days out of the week

That's actually mad upsetting, hopefully Japan will be OK to go to soon when they're back on their feet.

True true, I have one Pokemon Dx vinyl of Zekrom, that's it lol. But I have a few of the games. I liked the toys back in the day and had quite a few but they all got lost? :/ I'll probably buy back DX vinyl versions of some of my favourite legendaries and call it a day on that one.

Gee I wish I had a boyfriend...I mean girlfriend! Do you know how much he paid total for it?

Around $45 in total. I know, it was kind of expensive. I told him that they might have it at Angolz one day for a little less but he didn't want to risk it being sold out before he had a chance to buy it.

Could you ask him how he put his phone number in half width alpha numeric characters please?

[Scarz]

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain?

No worries, it just means without a space, btw guys just to let you all know Wild Style figures are up on Angolz, they've only got 6 Vegeta figures left, so I get in quick $30 USD + shipping, £30 all in if you're in the UK

[Drabaz]

Oh thank Kami! I was really getting worried. I've been checking Angolz everyday since they were released everywhere else. But gee, for $46 I could have just boughten it from Aikoudo like Scarz's Boytoy did a while ago. Now I can finally stop buying figures for a while...hopefully. Oh no wait, I still need the last series of Legend of Saiyan DX when that comes out.

4 Vegetas left and 8 Gokus, I'm actually thinking of doubling up on them since I really like the look of the Vegeta, I was hoping I could have got mine in the post first before deciding

[Raithos]

Nah don't double, I've realized that's a waste of money unless the items you're getting are super rare or just your favourites... lol

[Drabaz]

Don't you think these Wild Style figures will be rare in the future though? I considered doubling up on them too, but then looked at my wallet.

[Chibi Gohan]

I was thinking about picking up a set of wild style figures, but I honestly think I'll pass on this one. The Goku figure has a weird looking face in my opinion. The Vegeta looks okay, but okay isn't really good enough to warrent a purchase, especially when I can put that money on another figure that I really want.

I don't like Goku's face either, but the clothing bieng torn to shreds is quite cool, I'd rather a Gohan figure, since he's the best, but what can you do?

Edit : Yeah think I'll hold off on a second set since the DX Vegeta and King Vegeta are coming besides I still need to get Goku and Bardock which I'm getting tomorrow, and then theres the whole matter of volume 2 and 3 of the minis that are insanely over priced on fleabay.

[Chibi Gohan]

Yeah, the LoS figures are grossly overpriced on eBay. I ended up getting those two sets from Poweranime. I paid $50 for the second set and $35 for the third set.

See I'd happily pay that, I think I went there to get the third a while ago if they have 2 of them one at $35 one at $50, but then their shipping to the UK is another $40 I was like

Hmm I can see the Vegeta getting pretty up there, but the SSJ Goku, nah. That figure appears in that battle damaged form in almost every single toy line in various varieties lol.
I don't know usually I just jump at the chance to get doubles, but not this time lol, I don't feel it's necessary. Now Legend of Saiyan DX Volume 4 King Vegeta, that's something you need to double up on...

Sorry for asking this "out of the blue" but do you clean your figures? How do you stop them from getting dust on them?

Hmm that's a good question, yes fom time to time I'll take them from the shelf and give them a dry wipe with a cloth or old t shirt, or if they're really grimy run them under hot water for 10 seconds or so and then dry them off. I bought a couple acrylic display cases for my favourites and am contemplating getting a windowed shelf/cabinet for my figures. But that won't be until I move out. Until then I manually dust them so dust/grime doesn't build up. I wish my shelf had windowed doors, lol...

The figures I REALLY care about either stay , MISB, MIB with their original plastic wrap or MISB if they have windowed boxes, like my One Piece P.O.P. and assorted Ichiban Kuji Pieces.

[oXdanXo]

I know it sounds stupid but I've got most of the LOS line and a few DB X OP and I'm too scared to take them out the packing Just thought I'd ask you

Agreed, I plan on doubling on that set of DX figures when they come out.

Lol, I swear my house is built on a dust mound...

I generally use a dry cloth to dust them. Just a few days ago I bought some clear plastic and Velcro from a fabric store and made a cover for my display shelfs. It looks decent enough and does the job, but I'm looking into a display case as a more permanent solution. There's an IKEA around my area, so maybe I'll check that out sometime.
