And kudos to you, 1Up. At first I wasn't the biggest fan of your shop but it looks like you're shaping up to be a formidable seller. I might consider giving it a try.^^

^Second that!!
At Kanji, if the changes are really tempting you, you could try and sell the original. Maybe there's someone there who might want it from you.
Also, the boots are higher, which makes his shorts look longer. I don't like the skin colour though, he looks really tanned.
Please do tell the story of how someone just took and sold your BB.
I left it at my friends home at his care and another suppose friend took all my stuff/figures as i wasn't there and my friend was to afraid of him, and so he took and sold it at his bootleg shop he has, long story anyway tho :-/
The head is bigger…which was the biggest turn-off for me first time around when his head seems SO SMALL compared to the actually work.
1Up is doing a great job. You can't ask for any better really. Discounts, Free Shipping, Figures on Demand, Constant Communication....
I like these new one ulta-thousand times more than the other. And he don't enter in SAL, sorry 1Up, hope I can get enought money to buy it.

DA FUX! Really? Thats called theft….and with the amount of figures now, it is theft over $5000...where were you at the time? You can go to the police or file a claim at the small claims court.
UK/HK's statute of limitation I think is 3 years...
Its in another country, so its problematic now :-/
Man 1Up, that really sucks!! You just can't trust some people these days!!
Problem with if I decide to get this BlackBeard 1.5, is it suddenly makes it difficult not to get future ones if they come out. And with 26 existing
POP's that could potentially benefit from either a 1.5 or Sailing Again version I can't see me ever being able to take a break to save some cash, lol!!
We could now end up with (and this is purely speculation):
! Bellemere 1.5 (Have original so may avoid this)
Vivi 1.5 / SA (Would love a Sailing Again)
Bon Clay 1.5 / SA (ID jail ver. would be nice, but otherwise I could pass)
Shanks 1.5 / SA (Being another Yonko, Shanks really needs either a 1.5 or SA. Really surprised we didn't get one with Beckman)
Smoker 1.5 / SA (SA is inevitable and I think poor sales of re-release is what lead to "1.5")
Tashigi 1.5 /SA (As above)
Mihawk 1.5 / SA (Think the DX is pretty solid, but an appearance post timeskip could lead to a updated re-release)
Crocodile 1.5 / SA (Will likely get an SA when he's seen again in the New World)
Jinbe 1.5 / SA (Same as above, especially if he does join the SH's)
Law SA (Again inevitable)
Marco SA (If he's the new captain of the WB pirates he could prove important in NW)
Aokiji SA (We'll have to see about this one since the original Admiral POP's didn't prove that popular)
Kizaru SA (As above)
Akainu SA (As above)
Doflamingo 1.5 / SA (Already made an appearance so just depends on whether MH want to try and improve on the original's mistakes with a re-release)
Bonney SA (Design already revealed so just a question of time)
Moria 1.5 / SA (Again, we'll have to wait until he reappears in the story)
Kid SA (Design already revealed so just a question of time)
Killer SA (Design already revealed so just a question of time)
I really don't see them making a 1.5 version of a couple of those you pointed out. Some of them were pretty spot on the first time.

Thanks Hakai,
I've updated my post with the 9 characters I'd probably buy a 1.5 or Sailing Again version of, so with Perona that's 10.
Thing is, I don't really like the idea of having 2 figures of the same character and in a lot of cases, the updated version isn't always a 100% improvement. Problem is, neither do I like the idea of selling off many of my figures which I've worked so hard to collect over the years.
Damn, it's so difficult, but I think I'll probably get the Blackbeard. He is a Yonko now after all Guess that's another £200 gone on these 3 :) hehe
Actually I love the idea of getting SA versions of old POPS, since I like to have same character in a different shape, or clothes. I mean the ones who really changed in these 2 years will be cool to have alongside the old verions.
But yeah, my wallet cries every time =/
I doubt that there will be more of those 1.5 versions. I'm more inclined to think that MH wanted to rerelease BB alongside Shilliew to bust his sales, but was affraid of a rerelease failure, so they ended up with a 1.5 version, which would target the new collector and the POP fanatic.
Maybe a Jinbei is one of the few due to the complain about his colour skin (although a repaint with his SA clothes is more probable).
Shanks will probably get a different sculpt than an update, but it was odd not having him alongside with Ben. It would have help his sales.
Vivi and Bellemere if something, would get a shiny repaint. Girls are an easy sell, so MH won't bother at a resculpting them (not that Bellemere needs it, but Vivi would benefit of it).
SA Tashigi and SA Smoker are on the fence due to them not selling well the first and second time. Maybe when the anime gets there, they will sell more.
As for the SN, it's too soon for them to have a SA version. Maybe Law, since the first one is quite expensive on Japan.
Law is 100% getting a new Sailing Again POP, he's crazy popular and pretty main in Punk Hazard arc, there's absolutely no way they wouldn't make him.
^ I agree with Alina.
1Up, that's AWFUL! I would totally press charges! I understand it's problematic if the figures are elsewhere, but really! I've been thinking of taking out insurance on my figures/collectibles since I have so many now. It would be devastating if my place got flooded or whatnot.

im pretty sure most of us is waiting for LAW!

Damn right, can't wait for Law
I've never ordered from this shop before but I really want a Blackbeard. I'm confused about how it works though. Is it $107 + $40 = $147 total? Does my card get charged once now for the deposit and then again for the remainder when it comes in?

Nope, $107 is the final price, but you pay $40 now and the remaining 67$ when it comes out.
1Up, I'll snag a couple of Blackbeards off you :)
Boa should be SAL able. Unless they change his box dimension Blackbeard could be send via SAL as well. I got mine via SAL trhough Mandarake.

thank you alina :-)
@MonkeyDDragon:
Real or fake??? :S
Fake, of course. No mention of 'MEGAHOUSE' in description = always fake. Ebay demands sellers to mention the actual producing complany. If they write 'Megahouse' and you recive a fake instead you can sue them.

thankyou kind sir!

thankyou kind sir!
The price itself is a giveaway too. That same figure should be around $60 (I think. Not 100% sure) I don't even think you can get chopper for $20

from the pictures comparing with the genuine, it looked the same to me
They used pictures of original figure. That's not what you'll get in the mail.

looks like i've been fooled :(
Why Blackbeard is sold only on otacute, and not on the other stores? Is an exclusive or not?

I'm still not sure how hard to find the new Hancock will be come release. I know it's not been distributed as a typical POP "Limited", but given that the bikini & wedding hancock can now be found for around 4,000 yen, i'm a little worried that I'm going to pay more by pre-ordering.
What do you guys think?

It depends on how well the figure sells. Usually you can't tell beforehand (or at least only predict to a certain extent) so it's a 50-50 chance. Either the price will drop and later buyers will be lucky or you are the lucky one for snatching the blue version before the price doubles for example. Personally I'd keep the pre-order and get her for that very price since it's not too expensive anyway and you'll have your Hancock figure for sure.
No POP has been difficult to get on release in the past year. With places like 1up and Animarket it's became really easy. I find getting singles of WCF to be quite a bit harder.

With so many retails shops, I think market has been too flooded with POP. So many hitting the bargain bin recently. Easily obtainable from mandarake or YAJ.
I am going to take the plunge and risk it and wait after release. Nothing for me to lose as i already have the red hancock
& we are talking about blue hancock here who happen to appear only for slight fleeting moment in blue dress in the manga. I think the artist ran out of red paint because most of the time she is wearing red.
BTW a trend i see is that rerelease figures always doesnt sell as well as first production.

It's a limited only in words, as it was the G.E.M. blue Kenshin.

Those Boas bikini and wedding were made at demand, chances are they produced tons more than the actual market was. New Boa will get a standard production, like the original Boa had. She is going at 12000 yen right now, even though she had a rerelease. That's enough reasons for me to think that the Boa will be hard to get on release. But you never know….
The 'limited' figures made on demand are the ones that seem to drop in price the most imho. Thus, I did not preorder Lucci 1.5 and will try my luck with Mandarake. Bikini and Wedding Boa basically tanked in value.
Just pre ordered Teach & Shiliew! YAY!
LOL Just found out my local (kinda. About half an hour away by train) has been doing Bandai's releases for some time. Although marked up. They had FAZ Usopp, Luffy, Franky, Ace (recent), Mihawks, Hancock and Croc. They only been doing for a few month it seems.
Although bloody expensive. Luffy was £24 and Usopp was £28 :/ About £15 more expensive than amiami. But I guess if you factor in possible customs amount….

and shipping… most stores that are local have that kind of price... usually 50% more to profit.
Not really worth doing anyways. Most of the decent ones like Robin and Chopper re-issues apparently sold out very quickly. And they said they couldn't order stuff in for demand, they just get what they are given really.
since when does Kolektakon do pre-orders on regular POPs? Are those jap. versions?
They started last month, with Perona SA and Shirahoshi. Don't know what version are they though.

Which shop was it?
Crazy to see sooo many POP pre-order still available at HLJ!!!:
Sanji
Kung fu Point Chopper
Crimin Nami
Kid
Killer
Perona
Shiryu
Shirahoshi
BlackBeard 1.5
Only Hancock Blue is sold out. (for now)
It seems I'm not the only one finding this game's getting too expensive. (Just cancelled all of these pre-orders at H-S) With any luck it'll help to drive the prices down in future. The tide has certainly changed, I think the POP hype may be over!!

Also note how all of them are either minor characters, reissues or already have other releases out (Chopper, Nami, Perhona)
