Just checked the site; I see what you mean. But still, 22,900 yen? Shouldn't that be the price in about three years or so?

Blacksmith

but he's limited, sold out in seconds, and they are big possibilities that he's not gonna get re-release at all. XD

Good points. I don't think he sold out in seconds; two days tops.

Blacksmith

really? i remember that i was online that day, sensui manage to get only 1 when the open the preorder.
He was going to get more for some members here, but no luck. Same with Crease.

So yeah, i'll say he's sold out in seconds.

I'll take your word for it, especially as I only went on the site that one time. I thought you could only order one per person, though.

Blacksmith

I dont think they limit 7/11 product for 1 for each person. But it might be.
If that the case, i think sensui is able to use multiple IP and some different addresses in japan.

And i don't think even crease manage to get 1.

But yeah, i'm sure it was sold out that very moment.

Just checked the site; it said one per person. I'm sure he didn't sell out as fast as Perona, though. XD

People really love Ace for all of his merchandise to be sold out that quickly, huh? XD

Blacksmith

Its Ace.
And have u seen the original/neo ace? why do u think this one sold out in seconds?

with Perona, the whole world can order it.
And some even bought more than 1 for resale or just incase 1 place cancel the preorder.
But with ACE, only ppl in japan and some that have family in japan who could order Ace 7/11

AnimeFTW

How much of an improvement is this one is over the original/Neo Ace? I don't have either of them, so I wouldn't know.

Going by some people's opinions from this subforum, this one doesn't seem to be all that great, but to each his own, right? :-)

ah, no wonder.

Megahouse never make a perfect ace,
They only make it slightly better…. that's why ppl keep buying them, wanting a better Ace.
Its good for them, so they have excuse making another ace and ppl will still buying it.

Here's the comparison

Just saw the picture; I see what you mean. Is that old Ace in the photo the original or the Neo version?

Out of curiosity, is the Neo-DX Ace worse than, equal to, or better than the 7-11 Ace?

saige

Personally POP wise, I like the Neo DX one best. I don't think I would of gotten one myself. While I didn't buy the original POP Ace either cause it's bad, the new one ain't that great either.

I like face on neo DX….but his body.....is ugly as hell. His waist is super small. And he's not in a usual POP position. He's good, but im sure ppl still want stand straight POP ace. They will have SW Ace next.....and again...his face -_-.

Cyber-Robin

It's Ace. I very much doubt this won't be re-released in some form.

Elisabeth Heart

You can't like that face. I forbid you to !!!

I guess you know me, big Ace dork.
I just love collecting every little (and medium, and big…) Ace thing… but that... the price is way to high for what it looks like. Yes, I understand the special edition thing (omg) and the limited thing (omg omfg), but if it's okay for me to buy an ugly styling or even something more expensive… EVEN IK, chained, butterface Ace, I just can't spend around 25k ¥ for something that big and unpleasing :<

I am certainly not a POP expert, but from the collections I saw and figures in stores, I think Ace is one of the biggest failure, if not the biggest, and they can redo it as many time as they want, I won't buy it until I remotely like him at least~ (or under 50 € :P)

@1Up:

Deer theme straps?! Butcher sign me up for 1 of each elizabeth, thx.

One of each ? o
Well i only order a few spare Aces and Zoros for the squids.

Here is the shop selling them (and the search).
http://search.borderless.rakuten.com/borderless/search.action?l=en&pf=&tl=0&pt=&f=0&fs=1&vm=2&sm=0&sid=kitora&sp.st=&k=%E5%A5%88%E8%89%AF%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A+%E3%83%AF%E3%83%B3%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9

They only ship to Japan so I asked a friend to help me with that but I don't want to bother him more so if you want them all and don't have a proxy, I guess I can order more.
Email/PM me anyone who want some :)

1Up

Eh its ok Elizabeth, I tough u had enough but if u just got a couple then I'm not gonna bother u then.

maggie

Did someone say that they had an extra chopper WCF from 13? I was arranging my WCFs today and I realized I don't have a chopper :-/

1Up

Chopper is up for sale on ibuyxz maggie.

Elisabeth Heart

@1Up:

Well I can get you Zoro and Ace if you want, but if you want them all, I'd have to place another order.
I can do it of course but it would be even better if more people wanted some in that case :)

1Up

Yea no worries, unless other people also want, I just pass on em.

Raithos

Wow Angolz listed Brotherhood at 38$ and girls snap nami and vivi @ 40$ and they both sold out in minutes.
Ugh

Cyber-Robin

Well. Only took a fortnight. But HLJ finally sent out my Brotherhood and Snap Girl Vivi.

Now to wait for them to post out my wcf. I wonder if that will take a fortnight too >.<

BTW. How long does Aikoudo usually take for shipping?

Edit: THE HELL!?

May 7 Absence. Attempted delivery. UNITED KINGDOM May 7 Absence. Attempted delivery. UNITED KINGDOM May 7 Retention Retention period:

But….I was in 0.o I even got a huge parcel from HLJ. Dear god Royal Mail. Please don't say you've screwed me over again.

klet

Aikoudo just shipped my Brotherhood out a couple days ago. But with in stock items, they usually ship within a day or two. Then it takes about 2 weeks to get to me in the US.

HLJ just sent out my stuff, too. ^_^ Excited!!!

That's not really true.

They haven't shipped my GLM7 out yet and it was in stock two weeks ago when I paid it. They also haven't shipped out my Brotherhood or Snap Girls cause of delivery problems. Glad I paid them in advance a month ago. I've really had a crappy experience with them.

Cyber-Robin

same here. Just found out that my Nami was shipped to entirely the wrong address.

Snow

I can't believe I just missed Brotherhood!

Cyber-Robin

Anyone here from Hampstead: London who may have ordered (and missed delivery of) a Nami snap girl? That's where mine's ended up >.<

Refuse to use Aikoudo anymore now. Gonna ask for either another Nami or refund if I can't get this sorted out (been ringing up the PO and no answer for 30 mins now.)

overall bad way of payment (the whole tiny link on bottom)
bad customer service (takes forever for answer and dont understand what you are saying)
paid for tracking: none given till 2 weeks after posting
item was delivered to wrong address anyways.

Abaddon

Ok i got brotherhood shipped too from aikoudo. After email them i got my tracking number :¬.

1Up

Funny I live near Hampstead, just picked up nami from aikoudo from the post office, but it's mine one tho, I got the receipt with my name on it as proof, lol.@Cyber-Robin:

Really? Which Hampstead PO was it? Did they attempt to deliver it on Saturday?

1Up

1Up

dam i missed the perona pre-order :(
anyone got a extra pre-order for perona for me? :P

About Brotherhood on Angolz

We are not sure if the second shipment is available and we are still waiting for the news.

Thanks and regards,

1Up

eh brotherhood is still availible on ibuyxz, or they not a good deal?

Elisabeth Heart

24$ each + 29$ shipping :<
I do have an Ace reserved on KingPlayer so I really wanted a nice deal to have the both of them…

1Up

ah i see, i think they use registered airmail and not normal airmail, thats why they so expensive.
what about this ebay guy tho, u wanna try it elizabeth? he got free shipping also with it, so actually shipping is about $15:

I guess your mileage will vary? They shipped the last thing I ordered within a couple days of paying, though they didn't tell me until I asked. They answered that email within 24 hours, though. This time, they sent me an email with tracking as soon as they shipped, and I hadn't asked them to.

Though, considering the problems others are having with them, I couldn't recommend them 100%. Especially with their "combined" shipping and shipping costs for WCFs. It was kinda high, and only offset by how cheap the figure itself was.

is there a set time that POPs are going up tomorrow? Sorry if I missed the post about it already >_< I live in EST time in the USA.
