I'm going to go bankrupt because I just ordered 12 models (9 of which are P.O.Ps).
They don't all ship immediately, but 7 do O.o

Tell me about it, I'm basically spending all my birthday money ($50) on Smoker. Oh well, it was originally gonna buy Robin either way, and I want to own all the POPs (if there's NEO versions, I wont get the old ones). With these sudden "restocks", I'm hoping Usopp/Chopper will be coming, even if he's not a Neo I'll take him over Sogeking + Chopper Neo even if they're not as good.
And if they do end up releasing a Neo of Smokerโฆ I'll buy him too. He's worth having two of. XD (Tho I probably wont display him, I doubt anyone would buy him for a reasonable price seeing how he'd be out of the box, too.) I feel so sorry for the guys who spent $200 on him... then again, they did that for a lot of POPs which have been re-released.
Wooohoo, just put my order down for Smoker. Thank goodness that I didn't let Ebay tempt me. Now I only need Tashigi in order to be happy - and Vivi and Usopp/Chopper to have a complete collection, but that doesn't really matter to me.
On that note, my November just got considerably more expensive. Oh well.^^
Did anyone else notice the grammer error on the Chopper T-shirt?
"Who's afraid of Big Bad Ghost?"
Just got a package from Wildfury! Thank you very much <3
Does anyone know of a (safe and secure) site where I can buy the OPxDB crossover cards? : )
just ordered smoker and bellemere :)
now to wait like 5 days before they do pre-orders for usopp/vivi/franky
sure a lot of stuff on pre-orderโฆ didnt have that before..
smoker
bellemere
nojiko
nami
brook
lucci
and soon
kid vivi
kid usopp
kid franky
Thanks for the heads up guys, I preordered the Smoker/Bellemere. I've been hoping they would reprint them for a while. Only one or two more until my collection is again complete!

Yes, and apparently, it's proper grammar .
@Al!naJames:

Thanks for letting me know! Glad you got it. Sheesh, I thought mail was slow over here, but there :blink:.
I can't complain on how much my smoker sold for. It's interesting to see other people selling him for $300 plus. I don't know who would buy any POP for that amount. Anyway, I've got another smoker but I think I'll keep it for my collection.
You sold it at the right time
Its great that Smoker is on restock. Unless after november there is a neo smoker. But anyway iam going for it.
2 days ago i had the highest bid on a Smoker POP. I just ended with a last minute higher bid.
I was unlucky when i saw the Nov restock and my highest bid on the auction. But now iam a happy man
Yeah my sense of timing (or luck) could not have been better. I'm really glad I managed to get rid of it in time and for the amount it sold for. Funny thing is I'll probably pick up the restocks of Smoker, and Bellemere and wait it out until they're rare again and then sell. I have an extra Sogeking for just that reason. There are always people that miss the boat, including myself.
For the same reasons i hope no Usopp/Choppers end up popping up within the next week. Sorry to jinx it for those still waiting for that.
Actually, I think all the POPs are gonna go down in value now. With Smoker suddenly being restocked after years, it's gonna make people think it's not worth to buy the discontinued ones cause they can be restocked. Least, that'll be how it is for awhile.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I was thinking about this myself. A lot more people are going to have complete collections now, which isn't a bad thing, but it means less people looking for POPs after they have been discontinued. These restocks do give poeple hope though, thats for sure. Like i said though there's gonna be that select group that will miss the restocks and have to look on ebay, or at least i can hope.:happy:
Edit OT: Is anyone else happy megahouses Bleach line is coming back out. This was one of the series i missed out on so i'm definitely picking them up, especially since the selections not as large as the OP line. Funny thing is i don't want Ichigo, Renji ftw.
I really need to get back into reading Bleach, I say I'm not a fan anymore, but I guess I really do still enjoy the series despite thinking the current arc is shit. I'm really considering getting the Yoruichi restock and the Renji & Matsumoto re-release. Even tho that could buy me three POPsโฆ

i may get renji only.
as for P.O.Ps..i may just get Zoro,Sanji,brooke and Smoker and i am finished with collecting unless they are more new characters
I'm not up to get the Bleach line. As most popular shounen, it starts with a good story and then go on the easy way: the story just keeps on doing reasons for having one to one fights. Nevertheless, I'm still keeping a watch on the anime version as it's quite enjoyable, apart from most of the filler arcs.
I'm more enclined to get some Gurren Lagann stuff, those EyeUp figures are pretty good. I just hope they would do other characters than Kamina and Yoko. I've also ordered the related Revoltech action figures, #62 is really terrific.
As for the POP, I got or reserved them all, apart from the old Usopp/Chopper combo. If I can find it at a good price, I'll get it but I won't spend a lot on it. It's not that fancy with those sticks coming out from behind and my most expensive POP (shipping fees excluded) was Smoker for $80 (a pretty good deal one month ago).
Edit: ok, I lied. My actual most expensive POP was Zoro for something like $125, Smoker being my 2nd most expensive. But 3 months ago, the USD/EUR and JPN/EUR rates were very convenient for us, Europeans ;)
Kamina is great but now they are doing more Yoko insteed of other characters :( edit: other yoko other company
I also need a Yoruichi and a Renji from Bleach. I have Rukia and Ichigo.
I dont really want the other two unless they bring some new cbaracters also.
Also there are now the Megahouse re-release from Bleach. But toynami is also coming
with there releases of the same 6 Megahouse Bleach PVC figures.
You can preoder for months now and the release shouldnt be taking long now.
Do you think the quality will be the same? The price is also almost the same.
Toynami would mean a lot less shipping cost for me. And maybe also for others here.
Iam talking about the PVC figures not the Toynami Bleach Action Figures
No, the Toynami versions are AWFUL. They're horrible bootlegs in comparison. Least that's what it seems like from pictures. They are inches smaller, are not made of PVC, and have a horrible paint job. They'd be fine if you didn't know of the original versions, but they're nothing more than the kinda figures you find in stores in terms of quality.
Are you not talking about the Toynami action figures now? I know they are smaller and not as nice.
(however i like they Byakuya figure)
There are Toynami PVC Figures also.
http://sdcc08.figures.com/showgallery.php?cat=584
Pictures here from also the PVC Figures like Yoruichi and Ichigo
They do you look the same quality, but you never know with the final product.
I ound the Shank P.O.P. figure at the London anime expo today. At my first few expo's I struggled to find OP stuff, but this time there were plenty. Overall I saw a LOT of it in fact (still more Naruto and Bleach who seem to be the only thing on dam sale at some stands). There were 6 P.O.P. figures one could grab today.
Luffy was there too, but he was in a seperate stand to the others and I already had Shanks.
I'm after Brook next (Got Zoro, Vivi and Nami (1) already).
Edit:
Sighted P.O.P. Figures:
1 - Luffy
2 - Shanks
3 - Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
4 - Vivi
5 - Nami (2)
6 - Sanji

Yeah, those are the ones. They look good in the picture but I hear the actual retail ones are very very poor. I've never seen them myself personally, tho.
Kamina is great but now they are doing more Yoko insteed of other characters :( edit: other yoko other company
On a related note, Eye Up has already plan to release other characters: Dali (the girl having rose colored hair), her plush doll, Buta (Simon's pet) and young Simon on his Lagann. Maybe Gurren Lagann with its giant drill tooโฆgo and see the first entries of Eye Up blog : http://eyeup.jugem.jp/?page=03
Back to One Piece: who will get Bandai Thousand Sunny DX ? Who'll rather get Banpresto versions of both Merry and TS ? Or none of them ? I'd rather get Banpresto version, but TS seems to only have 2 sails, missing the middle white sail. See for yourself here (thx Crossbone from KF forums): http://ga.sbcr.jp/mprize/011222/
If you watch closely to the last photo, you'll see a hole on the upper part of the rear pole. Maybe the sail is not there but will be included in the actual released product ?
Yeah, those are the ones. They look good in the picture but I hear the actual retail ones are very very poor. I've never seen them myself personally, tho.
I see thanks. The problem is store that have preoder for these are using the Megahouse pictures. You can find pictures anywhere.
Maybe those on the con pictures are the Megahouse ones.

Thanks for the info i reallty like Simon on his Lagann.
Now back to One Piece i quess
Someone should make a non-One Piece Anime/Manga Collectibles thread (hell, throw in videogame things in there too for good measure). Would it go in General Discussion (Off Topic) or Other Manga/Anime?

there was one in manga/anime other but its in the back of the forum pages by now
and I had one thread started in media..and that didnt stay long and is somewhere in the back pages tpp
Awโฆthat sucks. Guess it wouldn't be as updated that often then.
Not really after ALL the p.o.ps just really after adult and kid version of the straw hats.
Didnt bother preordering but when i checked this morning seen that kid nami and zoro were low on stock >.< so ive ordered them two. not bothered about nojiko plus im sure she'll be there for a while.
next month will be a bit of a bugger tho. with re-releases of luffy and zoro and the dbzXop p.o.ps. also planning on getting sanji. and with any luck the two ship p.o.ps. which will take a bunch of money lol.. suppose it will be worth in the end when i have a set lol
dunno if this has been mentioned yet. But this morning I found fake versions of the Robin and Sogeking POPs. Just a heads up if you still dont have them that there are fakes of them out there.
Yeah, bootlegs are really cranking out at a pace. A lot of people for example are buying the POP kids and are getting boots because they think "they just came out, there can't be boots yet".
which kids? Robin set or Nami set?
I believe I've seen boots of Robin's set on eBay.
Yes the Robin set boots are vey easy to find on ebay. There are also boots from the Banpresto prize figures since a while now (luffy gear, franky)
There is still more and more coming. Alot of people like to buy cheap figures even if they are not nice. Alot of good feeback for these bootleg sellers
is there. And sometimes negative feedback from someone who says its a bootleg. But what else do you think you get for these cheap prizes.
I know you can be lucky and win a nice figure cheap, but when the store sells 10 for cheap prizes you have to know something is wrong.
Are there bootleg seller who sell there bootleg stuff for normal / high prizes on ebay?
Yeah, don't most of them? Isn't the whole point selling a largely lower grade piece of merchandise for the equal or higher price of the official? Most if not all bootlegs comes from Hong Kong sellers, due to that I suggest we make a list of confirmed Hong Kong sellers who only sell legit items. Here's two contributed by wildfury:
Legit Hong Kong Sellers:
happyerwinma
etoys-shop
Yes that the point. Maybe for other kind of figures / merhandise but for POP
it should be easy to see who sells bootleg.
Only in our dream there are sellers with alot of official figures for very low prizes.
But when a bootleg seller use offical figures and ask for a normal prize. Then its not easy but there arent any ? I never seen one.
But a list like that is a good idea. Only where do we put the list.
Its already forgotten when we are two pages further.
http://stores.ebay.nl/rosarybox - Rosarybox
http://stores.ebay.nl/wonderonlinestore - Wonderonlinestore
Both Sellers are from Hong Kong, and both dont sell bootlegs. I bought
from these and the other two. Great Sellers!
(how do you do the link thing, i cant find it )
i already buy some stuff of happyerwinma,etoys-shop and rosary box, they sell some good stuff not bootlegs!
anyway i'm sellin some op stuff on my lj :P
I saw that also. I was thinking about buying this set, but its to bad they cost more then the collection figures.
Dont know but its not really worth it for me.
Dragonball / One Piece crossover figures arrived today.
Thought about it again and again. The sets where going pretty fast on ebay. And before the prize was going up again i decided to go for it.
To bad Sunny is the secret :sad:
Luffy Panson Works arrived 1,5 week ago.
No iam waiting for the new Mild POP

Glad you came around .
Did you know you were going to get a secret when you bought the auction? Mine just had the normal set.
There are actually 3 'secrets', but all of them are just colour variationsโฆwhich I think is pretty lame :getlost:.
There's the Sunny in your picture, a Goku with a different coloured coat, and a Chopper with different colours. I think the Sunny one was the best of those three.
You got that Jump figure too! I've been thinking about buying that, but I don't really think it's worth $20 including shipping :ninja:.
But do you think the quality's worth it?

Gold SHenron! O.O
Still waiting for Zoro..it took a week for the last 3 to be here so it could be here later today(midnight here now)
Wildfury-Theres one of those 40th SJ luffys on amazon for $20- about 10,11 dollars for the figure
โฆ.....
I asked the seller if it was possible that i get a secret thousand sunny.
And they say there was a chance. I looked somewhere else and the only
auctions that i know for sure dont have a secret, i have to pay more. :getlost:
So i thought maybe i dont get a secret, but in the end i got one :sad:
Yes the colours are lame, but ok thats cheap for me now i dont care about the secrets.
I dont think the Sunny is ugly, its pretty nice but for display between the normal i dont like it,
About the Jump figure. I like the Figure it has a good size and the arms and legs are movable
Overall quality is nice. And its something nice for the collection. Not just another normal figure
but something special. I paid 36 for two figures shipped (no not two luffy )
Does anyone has a picture of a bootleg P.O.P. Vs a real P.O.P.?
I'd like to have a picture for the Wikia. Its too bad we can't get all the OP fan sites to put up a "bootleg Vs Real" difference page on their sites to warn everyone. I'd love to see that happen. :-(
would be handy as i dont trust anything on ebay xD with that i may start using ebay for p.o.ps. should have people post pics of known bootlegs. isnt there a luffy one somewhere in this thread?
You should be able to tell a bootleg from a picture, especially if you had seen the real photos (which you kind on most sites, like HLJ). But keep in mind, a lot of bootleg sellers use those same official photos.

I've been dead to the online collectibles community for quite a while, and this is the first time I've seen and heard of the Jump figure Luffy. Must investigate!
And, a question in general about HLJ:
So this is my first time ordering of the site, and I reserved (submitted all my credit card info and stuff) an Ace POP, Nov. Restock. So when the time comes for it's release, will I get an email saying it's shipped or will I have to go through payment methods all over again?

all my purchases are by credit card so they will give me a Orsder confirm first, then when it gets closer to the ship date .. it will just say your item has been shipped and you will get a email saying it has witht he total price..
I never gotten a payment request before
