It is confusing why he is going for so little so soon
-
Well, considering shipping is at least 5k, I don't find it really bargainish.
-
WCF Volume 34 is out.

Just received Film Z Luffy from Megahouse yesterday. To me this Luffy is easily Megahouse's best effort of Luffy. Can't Wait For Zoro. I really Hope megahouse will do the rest of the crew. I really want a film z Usopp pop Also Brook. Maybe I will post some pics later.

The market is over saturated with POP's. It seems to me that MegaHouse is outstripping the demand by increasing supply. This way they won't have to re-release the same figures ad nauseam, and as a bonus for flooding the market they make it more difficult for third parties to profit in the aftermarket. It sucks for retailers and distributors like myself, but it's smart business sense by MegaHouse and benefits any end consumers who don't plan on reselling their figures anytime soon.

Yeah, it means you can just get the figure you want, when you want…...rather than having to worry about getting them on release.............
That being said, I still wouldn't want to risk not pre-ordering Law Ver.2
I think the drop in the yen is partly to blame for a lot of these low prices. As international retailers are trying to compete against a falling currency, but it's not just the new POP's that are suffering, many of the older ones are losing value as well.
The way I see it, there are 4 categories...........
- Those that are high priced due to rarity and have been for a long time: Bellemere & Carue2) Those that have retained value due to their popularity: The Sailing Again Strawhats, DX Newgate, SA Law, DX Shanks & Mihawk Ver.2, etc.
- Those that have been re-sculpted/re-released and have lost value as a result: DX Teach, DX Perona, DX Marco, etc.
- Finally, those that were never popular to start with: Vista, Rayleigh, Enel, Arlong, Killer, Shiryu, etc.
Sadly Lucci falls into that last list.

I'm really glad that Rayleigh fell in that low category even if it's an offense for the right hand of the king of pirates lol
i also think that their huge box refrained a lot of people to buy them until they fell in the bargain bin.
It all began with Kid POP, this one is the rupture of the preorder war that leads the next POP to be easily buyable mostly everywhere after release.
Their huge boxes are at fault LOL
but also the ruckus all over the POP calmed down, and MH mass production, re-release on top of that.
And i wanted also to say that many people who were buying like 3 POP's of the same characters for the resale purpose stopped around that moment as well, less people bought POP so they were still in stock and so people can get them easily and even cheaper, just for that i thanks MH lol because those people were the reason some couldn't get theirs and leads a preorder war thing, even rebecca stayed in stock for so long and she is still there on HS and HLJ(from what i've seen)
anyway now i don't think it even need a preorder for these, unless you wanna get the preorder %off, you might just wait for bargain bin as well but i'm the type who gets the figure i want bargain or not. -

All true words!! The boxes did have an impact….......and about people buying 3....what ever happened to Frozenkuku? lol!!
I think the whole Toei sticker thing changed people shopping habits as well!! At one point everyone want golden Japanese sticker version!! but after being ridiculed so often, everyone just stopped caring and now just buy from wherever's cheapest!

Maaaaaan, I still get questions about the damn sticker. I feel like a broken record having to copypasta the same response no less than twice a week. xD

People really care/d that much about the gold vs sticker toei stickers? I've seen figures on amazon with gold stickers going for wayyyy more than the silver ones and I always wondered who was buying them lol

I am really torn over Rebecca here. Probably a good thing that she will not be out for a very long time.
She's 16 for crying out loud. You my not think that it matters, but the amount of skin showing is hard for people in my house to see past and that she is underage (18 is the age of consent in Iowa) makes it even harder to see past. Doesnt help that I still don't know what will be under her garments. Makes a difficult situation worse.
Im no trying to be prudish guys, really I'm not. I love Robins SA POP and no problems with her cleavage or anything.

Just tell your family that the relationship you share is strictly one based off of kind intentions and platonic in nature. She lost her family so you are just being kind and stepping in for them. Big brother type thing, ya know?
Either that or wait two years to purchase her.

I think it'll be alright if you tell them you won't have sex with your collector's figurine until it's past the age of consent.

The Sticker OMG, i've seen not so long someone asking about the toei sticker, true that more people are willing to get the HK version, i remember people telling "i want the golden sticker so i'll have to get it from Amiami/HLJ/HS etc" things calmed down a bit but there will still be some sticker lover, i wonder if those guys don't put the box in the cabinet instead of the figure lol–- Update From New Post Merge ---

I bet you have to copy paste, it's still a standard question lol

Well she surely showing some skin there, if you feel uncomfortable then don't get it, many people have their own way to collect, i myself think she is the limit of the limit i can handle, but i'm taking her because she is an interesting character, the figure is well done too, i love her with her cape on though.
When i get figures of underaged girls i'm not thinking of something indecent, there is many other figures with freaking pose suggestion that you wish you can burn but i think Rebecca here is well portrayed, not as a young girl being sexualized(even though man that armor is not an armor)but as a warrior.
It's all about the way you collect, if you wanna have sexy girls, naked girls with suggestive pose etc…
I think it's ok to get her as long as you don't plan to do sexual activities with it lol

Compared to the FAZ battle versions posted a few pages back he doesn't look too impressive, no. But for those collecting marines it's better than nothing for now.

If you are worried what's beneath Becca's under parts, here's a small glimpse:
! I think she's gonna be either crotchless or with very thin pantsu.
Just put her the cape and people won't think that bad and as Wild Dragon said anyone will think she's some sort of Xena Warrior Princess.

I put my bought from AmiAmi Sanji SA for sale when I moved countries and there was one guy that was interested if it had the Golden Toei sticker. I tried to tell him that it was impossible for him to have a Golden Toei sticker since his price make it Silver in the Japanesse market. It was all for nothing. He told me he'll keep looking until he'll find one. I bet he is still trying to complete his crew…

Cool! Strange though considering it's down for late March…...........Chopper is supposed to be 18th March according to amiami.........
Sengoku should be out now.

OMG so cool,can he be SAL?
I am waiting for him to pop up on mandarake but I'm afraid that his price remain the same…
Will you get extra stock 1up?
Damn i can't get him for now. -

Damn i can't get him for now.Sadly, I think you'll find that Zoro Edition-Z is going to be impossible to send via SAL Small Packet no matter what box you use, because his own box dimensions exceed the Japan Post restrictions: He's 35 x 30 x 27 cm!!
His box is about the same size as NEO-MAXIMUM Kid….............I think $96 with free shipping was probably one of TGLS's best deals! His price would have to drop to 4,000 yen to even match that since you'll probably be paying 5K for shipping!

damn :(
i have to wait to get it somewhere else cheaper to compensate the EMS shipment, but i'm afraid he will not hit bargain bin and so i'll not get it cheaper i'm torn >_<If i get from 1up i would pay shipping but i have to avoid customs, i'm totally lost now :(

If you know you want a figure and you know it's gonna be EMS (You can find our box dimensions from HobbySearch) Then you're pretty much always best ordering from 1Up…...
Even in the cases of Arlong, Kid & Shiliew..........although they have all had almost 70% off their prices, those that ordered from 1Up still got a relatively good deal because of the free shipping and no customs.
That is why I pre-ordered Marco from him, since I don't know if it will ship SAL from many places (His box is slightly larger than Kuzans).

yeah but i couldn't pay 40$ upfront this is why i ordered at first from HLJ then just cancelled because i can't afford it right away, same for MArco, i got one from HLJ but i don't know if it's SAL or not and if i can get it this is why.
The upfront payment is something i can't afford for now sadly :/

Got Ace MSP in, I like it

That's a very yellow skintone they've chosen for Zoro.
-
does someone know when the colored Bellamy figure comes out?
-
does someone know when the colored Bellamy figure comes out?
Probably not until October or later, since we haven't even seen a painted prototype of that Bellamy yet. I imagine he'll be after Rebecca (August) and Momonosuke/Law (presumably September).
-
does someone know when the colored Bellamy figure comes out?
Don't expect to see SA Bellamy painted until Megahobby on May 31st…..........with the pre-orders going up shortly after..........
He'll probably see a release in late October/November...............I hope that helps............
Edit: MaxGoof beat me to it!!

That will be a hard time…He will Look awesome painted with his tattoos...

Wow, those cabinets look fantastic! I like that you have space for your shoes below! Dual usage!
For some reason Rebecca's nakedness makes me feel like they (oda….>.>) was exploiting her more than normal....but it looks like such an exquisite POP with her gold armor pieces! That really makes it work for me, plus it helps that she has a cape covering her butt! I'm going to try and get a Rebecca when I have the opportunity. The Fujitora figure actually looks pretty cool to me. I like how simple it is, though I'm not sure if I want to dish out the money to buy him just yet.
Edit: I tend to backtrack alot when reading this thread, but I just noticed the male fanservice files and it just cracked me up. Never thought I'd see a day when stuff like this would be released for One Piece, but I guess that makes up for the boob mouse pads we had a few years back. Those things were funny too by the way. XD Though I didn't realize that Marco was thought of as sexy? Luffy posing in merchandise like a fashion model always made me laugh though now it seems like a strange joke since Hancock already kind of idealizes him in the manga.

Entire work on display :) -
Wow!! That's some awesome collection you got going there Lexiy!!
In other news, Zoro Edition-Z is in-stock at HS…...........EMS shipping is 4,600 yen to EU................
.......still no sign of Sengoku?

It should be already released ?
The tsuki Sengoku page says 22 march but i would not expect him before 31 march i think, i always trust Nippon Yassan and theirs releases dates, very accurate most of times, at least for theirs limited POP ( same at Big In Japan ). -
Congratulations, Lexiy. Your collection is awesome! Monkey D. Luffy P.O.P Edition-Z has arrived to home
BTW, Amiami send him in a box whose dimensions were 33,5 x 24,5 x 27,5 cm, so Marco MAS (33x23x23 according to HS) should be SAL-able

Hello @1Up, wanted to thank you,
My Crocodile arrived today, amazing figure, very good.Thus my goal of completing the Shichibukai is closer (missing only the Jinbei). Thanks 1Up.
(5 of these were purchased at TGS and the other 4 via MFC)
