Secured a blue Boa at HS; can't hurt to have her ordered for half the price she's usually sold for.
Ditto, and she's still up there so guess neither are that popular, or HS have increased order quantity. AmiAmi failed to let me log in, again….Service unavailable nonsense as usual. Waiting to see 1Ups prices :o)
Phew! Pre-order success! ^p^
Snagged Shiliew from AmiAmi and Hancock from HS~
Still available at HS. Only ¥400 yen more expensive than Amiami.

Yeah but…with no sal available that means more expensive shipping with EMS and customs fees higher.
Last time I checked SAL was available. Especially given the size of Boa's box which should be comparable to Robin's.
Boa back again on amiami!
does anyone know when lucci 1.5 will be in stock? atm pre orderes are closed, since his limited edition would like to purchase
How does AmiAmi´s orders work.. i got 1 Boa on 1 order.. after i choose 1 Boa and 1 Shlliew in same order, but it seems that its devided to 3 orders.. I took combine monthly shipping.
ahahahaahaha Easiest PO ever. Got Hancock from amiami. Probably will end up cancelling her in the end but still.
Both her and Shilliew up an hour after putting up. Unheard of.
Interestingly. I've noticed a LOT of the pre-orders are easier when people don't link them here. When they get linked they're tough and when not you can easily get over an hour after putting up.
How come HLJ have not put up any of the pre-orders? Not that i want to pre-order from them since i got all i want from amiami.
Yeah now they are easy to get, they have made mistakes one hour ago. Shillew went sold out now, but i'm not interested because i'm afraid he couldn't be sal-able.
I was interested only in Boa and i get her. But BlackBeard in which way he will be sold? Tomorrow or next month? Regularly or only online?

since when are you able to cancel orders from AmiAmi? I know they sometimes do it but they won't do it usually.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/nightmareluffy/sets/ You should not love any anime/manga besides One Piece!! Otherwise shame on you! XD
if you email them and say you can't afford it theyll cancel it usually. I've done it once or twice. Just be really apologetic. As long as you do it before release they don't seem to mind. I'm tempted to do it with FAZ Luffy (They can blame Bandai for their stupid ideas of forcing you to get ones you dont want) and this month's H.O.O.Ks (aint bothered with the last set despite loving. And I don't really care much for more Hancock hoooks.
HLJ pulled the whole, Order Stop thing again when they posted Boa.
I managed to get both from HS, which I am happy about. They were up for a LONG time, compared to other pre-orders.
Now Im just waiting on 1Up for BlackBeard and Im set!
Its not easy when you get up at 8am est, I can't handle getting up at 3-5am for a pre-order anymore. Now to wander around until I can secure Boa from somewhere. :/
Ha I totally forgot. I'm sure Shiryu won't be too hard to get. Not bothering with Boa for once. I might get her if she drops in price at Mandarake, totally not worth 7k yen if you have the original version.

I'd hold out for 1Up, he said he would be putting them up later today. If he goes with the recent retail price w/ free shipping deal again then we could be looking at $85 for hancock and $105 each for both Shiryu & Teach. Then again, given what an easy pre-order war it was, he may be able to get cheaper and offer an even better price :o) here's hoping!!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but I just couldn't help myself, become a bit of a POP completionist of late so it'll annoy me if I don't. Anyway if there are no more releases scheduled for Jan/Feb/Mar then I should be able to afford it. He's hoping for SA Franky in May and then Z for the rest of the year 
SAILING AGAIN FOR THE NEW WORLD
Its weird that Shillew is on BIJ available still but no sign of Boa, not even sold out status.
I'll just go with 1UP as usual.

Yeah I'm a POP completionist too. Well I don't do repaints. I have to have some sanity! :P The only exception I made was for Garp 0, Ace 1.5 since I didn't have him as he was so bad and Nami Neo v2, didn't have her either. Ok I'm lying I also got the recent Robin repaint cause I really like the sculpt. I think Robin is the only one I have two. Both her Neo and her SW. I'm tempted to get another two SA too!

Yeah, I tried to avoid repaints but did end up getting DT Ace and JF Luffy. Then I got Kyupin Chopper and will hopefully get the chance to get Ver.0 Garp in the future.
I'm not a big fan of the shiny paint so avoided Ace 1.5, Nami Ver.2, Bon Clay & Robin.
Lucci & BB 1.5 aren't worth it for just a face change since I have the originals, (same with Aokiji w/ black shoes. although I did pickup the separate coat).
All in all the Blue Hancock does kinda fit my collecting habits as technically she isn't a "shiny" repaint and she does come with an extra face…....damn you Megahouse!!

Yeah shiny re-paints are the worst…
the 1.5 vers are shiny?
the 1.5 vers are shiny?
Only the Ace 1.5 has a shiny version. Sorry my bad, I've dropped the sentence in my previous post to avoid confusion.
Only the Megatrea's Ace 1.5. Seven eleven 1.5 Ace isn't shiny, which is the one I got.
Lucci and BB won't be shiny. Dome Tour Bon-chan (which I love) is not shiny, more like metallic colours. They don't look glossy at all, in fact, they look amazing on him.
@Al!naJames:
Nope, they aren't (well, not any more shiny then the originals).
Well ok, Ace looks more shiny than original, but I think they tried to make his pants and boots look like leather, and I think it fits because they probably were.
There are 2 Ace 1.5's. First was the 711 exclusive which used the NEO-DX colours (non-coloured "A" belt buckle, etc.) and had a translucent orange base.
Second was Megatrea shop shiny repaint edition with Red "A" and a shiny solid orange base. Personally I prefer the original, although it goes for a couple thousand yen more on Mandarake.
It's really hard to tell what's shiny, what's metalic and what's not ugh XD I can't call that dome Ace 'shiny' since like I said it just looks like leather to me, which is tottaly what I imagine he's wearing so that's natural.
Blackbeaed's original POP is VERY shiny, and it looks stupid really, I understand boots and coat, but why the hell is his shirt shiny? It should be simple cotton shirt…
Oh thanks guys, don't like the shining repaints.
Yeah, A lot of POP's have been needlessly shiny lately, like Marco's jacket, Enel's pants and Akainu's suit and now SA Perona timeskip bearsy

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGZOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i am really excited, he looks pretty awesome, nothing but awesomeness!
i hope nippon yassan will get that hancock, i was at work during that POP war, but i was not interest so i'm ok :D
btw 1UP will you get hancock?
Boa up at 1Up !!!!
Ugh, I was waiting for 1UPs preorders, but I'm not a fan of the EMS shipping included on characters that might be able to be shipped by SAL… Also it makes combined shipping kinda irrelevant....
Will this be the only way 1UP? I liked what you did with Zoro, Brook and Ussop (and the other stuff that I have currently on order with you).
I preordered Kung-Fu Chopper, Killer, Kid and Perona that way (although I had my reservations), but I don't feel like doing it with Boa, Shilliew and BB....

IF you look at 1UPs posts about these figures in the "Links Only" thread, he says that the EMS shipping is FREE.
Well, you kinda pay for it. The preorder discounts make up for the shipping costs.
Yeah, I was thinking this too, is there any other form to ship the figures, the EMS free is a great option when they must have been shipped with EMS but if they can go with SAL, they're just a bit expensive (but just a bit).
finally secure a hancock i'm glad, 1UP you are the man!
Once I get home I'll be ordering a Boa from 1UP, another good deal.
From the info i got is that all 3 P.O.P preorders for this month are only EMS-able and not SAL-able, and plus when i ship it out with EMS, 90% chance u dont have to pay custom charges when it arrives as i modify the values on the packages :-p

For POPs, you're not still taking orders for Perona, are you? ;A;

I don't know about Shiliew or BB but they will be probably EMS so you're price is good, but boa I think she's SAL, so I don't know.
Anyway I'm so sad, I can't buy any of the P.O.P that MH is doing because I don't work :(

Hey 1Up, firstly, thanks for putting these up for us and offering great value as always!!
New Hancock EMS only? I find that difficult to believe since original release was only 30 x 21.2 x 6.4 cm / 597g, but stranger things have happened.
If Hancock is SAL then shipping should be no more than 1,000 yen which makes your price near enough the same as AmiAmi & HobbySearch, for that reason I'm going to stick with my existing order until release. If worst comes to worst I'm sure you could always get a couple more for us in March 
Shiryu on the other hand is guarenteed to cost more than 1250/1500 yen to ship from HS/AmiAmi so i'm with you all the way!!
Thanks again!
For POPs, you're not still taking orders for Perona, are you? ;A;
Ah sorry, all full now, probally be some extra tho on release date :-p
Thx for the support as always fam :-)
Keep me in mind for Perhona too. I forgot all about her last month and will be wanting her come the time.
Keep me in mind too, I suppose that your going to get 4 or 5 more as the other POP's so it won't be a problem.
Hey guys, been comparing the original Teach with the new 1.5 and starting to notice a lot more differences which is really tempting me to get him now :wassat::
I really like the new colour scheme. It's a lot brighter and more anime-centric. Expression is a lot more Oda, although a little crazy, which is the only thing putting me off. Gun handles also look like they've been repainted silver. Hmmmmm…......what to do, what to do!!! Argh!!!
I guess its good for ppl who missed him the first time, he look more like the anime and like a maniac for sure, but thats how he is :-p
Im getting blackbeard 1.5 for sure as someone took my original blackbeard P.O.P and sold it, bastard :-/

Please do tell the story of how someone took and sold your BB.
Seems his hat is also wider now and his face isn't so long anyway more, or maby its just me.
