@Louis-1988:
I can't believe we're still stuck on v.10! We used to knock out 500+ pages in under a year if I'm remembering things correctly, and here we are nearly 13 months later and only just over half way!
I know! It seems mad that we've only got up to 300 pages since last years Jump Festa, so over a year now! Seems there isn't as much talk these days…....
Personally I put it down to there being a lot of other social media sites for discussing figures such as Facebook, MFC, etc. I think if all the discussion was made here then we'd be well into v.11 by now :) Also, the info is more readily available these days and the acquisition more accessible.
A lot of posts in the past used to be unboxings, reviews, order swaps and figure trades, but a lot of that has gone now since figure blogs get the reviews in first and there seems less requirement for trades/box splits these days.

@Louis-1988:
They just confirmed Wednesday to me.
@Roro:
Oh and is there gonna be a preorder time for POP this wednesday?
Should be the usual story. Announcement on http://megahobby.jp/ this week and pre-orders on 15th Jan at 18:00 JST. Obviously Louis & 1Up may get theirs up sooner :P I have my fingers crossed that Marco MAS is going to take a back seat and we're going to see the words:
! エクセレントモデル Portrait.Of.Piratesワンピース“Sailing Again” ハイエナのベラミー
エクセレントモデル Portrait.Of.Piratesワンピース“Sailing Again” レベッカAnd enough of all the MH bashing guys!! Where would be all be without them aye? OK, so they've made some odd choices in their time (Pricing Kid at 12,000 yen, lol) and some epic fails (Akainu's face/Luffy's legs).
But on the whole they've done some magnificent work!! I don't blame people like Maggie for deciding to sell some, we're all growing up and moving on…....but MH paved the way for a lot of collectors out there and there a genuine part of the OP fandom! One of my favorite figures is Vista, who hasn't had any attentions from other lines making him the definitive item of fans of the character!!
Oh and on a info note, Donki are running a 1 day only web order for Funky Donkey Brook today http://special.donkimall.com/ which closes in about 30 minutes time.
