I'm trying something "brave" right now. I do business with China and I get containers every week from there. I just cancelled my Amazon jp SW figures and ordered from China sources….this way shipping is basically free to me and takes 2 weeks on the ocean....every other POP thorugh this vendor has been 100% legit in the past and I think this is the route I'm going with now if it works out....I'm almost interested in perhaps running a service for OP fans on this thread in US using this method for items too as the items can be bought for less than msrp in Japan and basically the shipping cost would be from me (California) versus Japan. But I don't know if I have time to run such a service with my job but I'd sure love to. I guess time will tell.

See if it works out for you first. If it does, then you can do something like have people here send you a pm so that you will not get overwhelmed.
I used to know someone who did something similar except with snack food and it worked out for a while…until someone started handing out the person's email like it was spam and they got overwhelmed with orders and had to stop it. -
MY SW POP arrived
LOVELY CHOPPER with gold sticker:wub:
but luffy is silver sticker@@ -
Now everyone compliment me in large capital letters so that I can feel better about spending so much money on Japanese cartoon toys. DO IT NOW.
Haha CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW FIGURES :D
rofl…..guys this stuff is for fun....don't throw your $$ around on this stuff if it can be better used for necessities imo. But yes congratulations on the lack of restraint. =P Join the club.
Yeah, well, that's true. I try to place real life needs first and buy these stuff with what's left (or will be left) as an extra. That's why i'm so picky and can't decide sometimes. And that's also why i can't jump at every tiny thing that they announce… i really wish i could but i can't ^^;
I hope for a better paying job ;-; Or to win lottery ;-;MY SW POP arrived

but luffy is silver sticker@@Congrats to you too! But i don't think there's any difference between gold and silver sticker figures other than the market they were released, so don't be sad about it. It shouldn't be a problem :]

but luffy is silver sticker@@It´s rigth if we trust in the report of my friend that I posted yesterday:
Me and a friends did a magazine based on Saint Seiya Myth Cloth figures to Spain, and one of them did a chapter about the Toei Stickers and the price. Based on it Luffy should have a silver sitcker with black text becouse its price is between 5.500-6499 yen.
I´m not sure if this rule could be aplicatted in all the toys series with Sticker, but it´s possible :happy:
It´s silver with black text rigth?

OH MAN I want that Nami, Zoro, and Sanji keychains ;______; I LOVE THEM SOOO SOOOO MUCH and the Luffy is damn adorable too..I..I need a new phonestrap….

Sure, if you're a collector especially looking for them it's fine and it's your choice, but when you didn't get them you shouldn't be that sad either (o3o)/
Because after all there shouldn't be devastating differences in the quality of the figures, which is why i think most people are paying for, right?I mean if i will be paying less for a silver sticker i'd go with that. It wouldn't matter to me if i got a golden or silver sticker as long as the figure arrives safely and the package undamaged :) But that might not be the case for other collectors and it's understandable, not every collector is looking for the same things.

I have 3 Kuma's. All purchased in Japan. All with silver and red stickers. That's the first time I've seen a gold one.
-
I've never seen the Silver sticker in person before
-
I think the stickers are only there to mark the difference of the market for which it was released. But having a gold sticker figure and a silver sticker figure next to each other, I really see no difference in the quality at all >.>;.
I have no way to show it right now, but they were set up like that at the last con I went to and besides the sticker there's no visible difference between figures.
-
I wonder who is spoiled enough to buy enough Kumas to make a PX army.

Although there is no difference in the both of them, somehow deep inside i still wish that all is gold :wassat:
Another way to differentiate authentication of the figurine if you are daring enough to peel of the sticker, you should see this behind it

Iam happy if i have at least one. To bad local shops wont have them untill January. =(
On the Happy side January will get me 3 new POP (bart, luf and chop)On another note, i got the Strong World Locations today. I expected not much after seeing some photos.
But they are not that bad. Also bought ring bell. They where really cheap and i always wanted the Brook on Laboon. Quality is great.
Not a good photo but anyway….World Collection Strong World Serie 3 and 4 will release this month. But do they release at the end of the month?
-
God, I need to hurry up and get to the bank to put the money on my card! I don't want my POPs to get in the same order with other things that come out this month! X_X

I'm not one to call anything but I've bought every POP (not the older figures, since I bought NEO versions if they had one) except Smoker in the last couple months and have never seen a gold sticker with a # on a larger sized POP except Tashigi…..and that # is 36 if I remember right. I know no one knows for sure what the # means exactly but people seem to think that it represents how rare it is or whatever....but it seems weird that the # is 7.....all my normal POPs have either 36 or no #'s at all with the gold sticker....only ones with #'s that are smaller are the smaller figures like the mild chibi figures and theatre boppy head theatre ones.....seems very odd....I know many people that got their Kuma from Japan and it is indeed a silver sticker. Kind of wish Megahouse makes a formal statement regarding what these stickers "mean" instead of all of us making guesses.

Mid-Dec but I've had no confirmation of postage of my Robin or Chopper so it may have been pushed back.

I see thanks! will probally jan. for me. January is going to be a busy month for me. XD

Do you happen to have a more complete set of rules ? I've updated the POP wikia page with this information. But if you have a complete set with all background and lettering colors, it would be quite helpful for every collectors here :)

Locations set seems to be going from Green to discontinued and back to green LOL

RAGE COMING UP: WHY THE HELL ISN'T MY BROOK SHIPPING FROM RIGHSTUF AND MY FRANKY FROM TOYSNJOYS?! TOYSNJOYS SAID THEY SHIPPED FRANKY OUT LAST WEEK AND RIGHTSTUF HAD BROOK FOR NOVEMBER 30TH AND BON CLAY ALREADY CAME! MY 2 MOST WANTED POPS AND THEY STILL AREN'T COMING! IF THEY DON'T COME BY CHRISTMAS I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO! …end rant. Sorry guys I needed to vent.

The dates listed on Rightstuf don't seem to be even remotely accurate. I ordered Ace from them, which also had a release date of Nov 30th like Brook, and it hasn't shipped yet either. I also ordered the new Nico Robin Mild figure from them, which had a release date of October 30th, and it shipped last Friday, exactly 6 weeks after the "release date".
Based on what I saw with the Robin figure, I'm not expecting Ace until after the new year. Sadly that will probably be the case with your Brook too
-
I've decided to sell a lot of my collection-nearly 600 items are for sale here! Styling figures, a bunch of older 'figure collection figures', tons of random stuff. Plushes, pins, cards, other figures, etc..please check it out:

What a shame. The funny thing is, I ordered Brook and Bon Clay on the same day and they are both listed for November 30th. Bon Clay arrived at my house a couple of days ago, and Rightstuf is telling me that they will be getting Brook on Dec 23rd…they had the same release date but I'm getting them at different times? And to top it off someone who posted previously, (from Europe, may I add), said that their Brook has been shipped...so WTF...
Oh well, good luck with your Ace, hope it comes soon. -

I REALLY can't control myself. I nabbed 20 chibi figures and 1 styling Nami and from someone else on AP I grabbed a whole strong world set of figures, a few styling figures, and a Nojiko from the girls set xD; though they're between my sis and I…. I just... OMG... adding all that up will make me cry. CRY HARD.
Plus I bought the SAME $50 calender... TWICE. And Strong World Luffy... and a set of awesome sw keychains without the characters I didn't want and ALSO I am getting the SW artbook and 3 shonen jumps from a friend x__x;
... I should NOT be aloud to spend money or surf the internet.
and on top of all that... I also bought Kuma recently too... OMFG wtf is wrong with me x___x;
EDIT. OMFG I forgot a I got at LEAST $90 worth of awesome SW figures coming from Play Asia x__x; fffff ok I can't wait. xDDD SHIKI
-
im hoping my stuff will sell on ebay tomorrow.
im such a newbie on ebay and only sold 1 item. -
I've never sold anything on ebay xD I'm usually just buying… and buying and buying x.x though I would try to sell my Naruto Jounin vests if I thought some narutards would buy them =_= Ones and Official Bandai one, one just a pretty decent cosplay vest I bought off ebay u_u meh. I dunno I need to get rid of some shit xDDDDD
good luck on your ebay Kaizokufan!! whatcha selling?
-
Wow! These figurines are awesome…especially that Bartholomew Kuma. I'm new to this P.O.P stuff.....is there any word on another set of Impel Down gashapon? Like one with Sadi-chan, Inazuma, Saldeath and Ivankov?
-
I wish there would be another Impel Down set ;_____; I would've LOVED to get Ivachan, Inzuma, and Shiryuu for SURE ;_;
-
How much would shipping to the U.S. be for all of your grand battle sets? Also, how tall are they?
One of them was just split up, but I still have three complete ones left. They're about 1.5 inches tall on average. Shipping would likely be $9-$14 for insured airmail. If you're interested, just let me know. Thanks!
This is crazy. That is all.
The crazy thing is, that wasn't my whole collection! I'm still keeping a sizable amount I can't part with right now. Maybe I'll sell those too in the future .

Thank you guys for not controlling yourselves . I just added some mini plushes I forgot to put in before, if anyone's interested :ninja:.

I'm such a bad OP fan. I didn't even know these figurines existed until yesterday :sad:
However, I do know one thing…I want that Ryuuma gashapon so bad...and want one of Sadi-chan and Inazuma (wishful thinking)...
-
I want that Sunny with Wish Dragon figure, but shipping for something that small would pain my heart too much. If you only lived down the street.

You made me sign up for livejournal and spend over 50 bucks. American bucks as well so who knows how much it'll be in the end! Being indulgent sure is a thrill though.
KaizokuFan, you should post a link to your auctions.

hey guys, for those of you who display your figures on a shelf, desk, whatever, i was wondering what you do to dust them off. Anything in particular that you use that is maybe less likely to knock them over?

I personally put mine on a shelf with a glass door. Keeps em clean, yet they're still on display.
As for the next SD figures, my dream set would be:
Luffy (mandatory, hopefully bloodied up), Ivankov, Crocodile, Jinbei, Kuma, Whitebeard, Ace (on knees), Garp, Akainu (other admirals have already been released), Sengoku (secret figure).
-
just finishing paying for almost everything __ only one other thing and then I'm done until HLJ decides to release MORE STUFF xDD gyah so excited
-
Ugh, dusting. I tried one of those compressed air cans before but I used up the whole thing dusting just once and it still missed a lot. So now…I use paint brushes >.< It lets me get the smaller details dusted off fairly easily and I use a dust cloth (like the kind you would use to clean eye glasses) to clean larger areas like the bases. But yea...I seriously need to think about getting display cases...if only they were more space efficient and less expensive.

I would LOVE to get display cases __ I'm always afraid my sisters kitty will knock my figures off the shelf xD

ah paint brushes, good idea, i'll have to try that, and yea i need to look into a display case, my collection is expanding rapidly and dusting all of that is gonna get burdensome
