Surely you're all kidding, right? 10,000 JPY is like $82 USD in today's market. It's no more expensive than 7,500 JPY pops were two years ago.
really ? i thought 10,000 yen = $100.

10,000 JPY = $83.25 USD. $1 USD is currently worth 120 JPY.

Actually the real price in j-shops is discounted around 8500 ¥
20000¥ shipped for both Koala and Sabo at BIJ.
I'm still waiting for NY thought…
The euro currency keep going down so i agree with what some people said before.
162e for 2 these 2 figures shipped it's insane.
Koala should be priced like a Nami or Robin around 6000¥
Megahouse are thieves nowadays.

Megahouse are thieves nowadays.Exactly…...I was really quite tempted to PO Sabo today.......but seeing as he's already been up over an hour with no sell out I guess it doesn't matter how popular a character they are, POP's just don't sell out anymore....
I would still like to get him to pose with my Fujitora, but since even he's still sitting in a box since I got him back in December, i'm clearly in no real rush.....

Holy crap! I just checked and Sabo's POP IS still up. I never thought things changed this much. Yeah, the POP bubble has burst. I don't know if it was the amount they've made (too many?), how much space they take up for collectors, or how much they cost, but people have apparently moved on. Wow.
-
POP's suck… well they rock, and they suck with the pricing, whack release scheduling and over-saturating the market. Like myself and others have been saying several pages back repeatedly... Preorders are a joke now. You just really don't need to order it anymore, lol. And if the preorders sell out in a few days, there's sure to be lots around release time. POP's just aren't "hot" anymore really, the market has taken a big decline
-
POP don't sell on certain shops because of the custom fees and the crazy shipment costs. Either they go on sale they're still too much as a price. On NY they sold out very fast, on local distribution too. Amiami is no more reliable to determinate the success of a POP.
-
I have absolutely no doubt that the rush and hype will come back
More limited like Dressrosa's POPs and hight prices with less units produced otherwise Megahouse is doomed -
Yeah, I mean MH have always had their failures, like Beckman, Arlong, Shilliew and Lucci, but it just seems that more and more of their releases are going the same way these days. Production quantities have increased, whilst quality hasn't changed and people are just more fussy I guess. It's not MH's fault, they've just run out of primary characters to base their figures on!
Since I decided I genuinely would like a Sabo figure, I bit the bullet in the end and ordered from amiami since I saw NY, BIJ and even HS sold out. He'll probably still set me back 10k yen with shipping, and whilst i'm sure he'll get a re-release, looking at Rebecca I can't be 100% (Unless she's next months PO!)
SA Kid & Killer still piss me off. No way was I dropping 25K-30K yen on them, but i'm sure they'll still see a price increase due to thier LIMITED nature. (Look at Sengoku & Kaku).
It's almost as if you have to buy all the crap/expensive figures straight away if you want them as they are LIMITED, but all the good/cheaper figures are re-released/bargain binned, so you don't want to waste your money!!
Totally backwards!!

I know what you mean, i PO'd Sabo on HLJ because i'm not sure if i still want him by september, i've missed also Law 2.5 and he looks great i really wanna get him but where, seems nippon yassan have it but they increased awfully their shipping which is different when you see the real shipping they paid….

Yeah, another example of a LIMITED we didn't really need. They should have just bundled the accessories for the 2.5 with the Ver.2 and sold it as one figure. Even if it was limited I would have got it then. Like Cavandish & Bartolomeo, they were certainly worth getting.
I dunno, maybe i'm just getting tight and less willing to part with my hard earned $$$ these days
….Maybe Megahobby can rekindle my lost love!50 DAYS TO GO!!

GLM Sabo with FAZ Ace effects
This is making me want to go out and get that FAZ Ace….
Also, I did not realize how much taller GLM Sabo was to FAZ Sabo. He's a whole head and a half taller.
Which is weird, FAZ usually scales very close with GLM.
-
GLM Sabo lookin' good. Will have to remember to grab one off Manda when my bank account isn't so hilariously depleted. Looks like GLM Whitebeard will be out soon too, hope he's not too expensive.

Kinda wish banpresto would give us more effects like that, or at least add ons in some cases to jazz those static poses up a bit. Im hoping once i get the corazon GLM figure, that i can see if his coat will fit doffy, then i can get another and paint it pink if it works out.

True that they should have done this instead of making a second law and limited nonetheless….
I own Bartolomeo one, he looks really great and worth it, i'm feeling sad for those who couldn't get him because of limited.
I am most attracted by banpresto lines like creator x creator, MSP and KoA, i mean look at Luffy's KoA or even Law's, and that Mihawk is just crazy awesome!
i think i'm gonna focus on banpresto release rather than MH's, because price is just too much and banpresto quality is great for the price paid! -
Well just bought kid Rebecca POP for $20 cdn total, she is on sale at CDJapan and they sent me 500 yen in points for whatever reason today. Since I'm buying some of the MILD re-releases I figured why not, she looks pretty cute.
CDJapan already has Violet POP for 30% off, I bet she will be pretty cheap soon on multiple sites.

Yeah, I saw CDJapan had both Toy Solider and Rebecca on sale for a while, but still decided to pass…..
If Viola got to 50% off though I may jump and get her............you can't deny that's on sexy señorita!

Mi too! waiting for more discount before buying her. she is on 30% for so long already ^^

They only have 4 left, rather doubtful that they will discount her farther to sell 4 units.

Do you know When big in japan are usually proposing the banpresto figures?i don't want to miss Law and Mihawk so I'm checking 3times a day…
-
Violet POP is 30% off on AmiAmi as well. Well see how low she goes on these sites.
-
So seems I was a week premature. Miyazawa was on yesterday and as expected, nothing new to report…(http://amiamiblog.com/)…seems...seems) Megahouse were the only ones showing anything One Piece related. Is anyone actually getting these Variable Action figures? They look 100 times better than the SH Figuarts were. Anyone displaying and want to share photos?
Looks like Tamashii are doing some events next month, but nothing big like "Nation". No news on the next banpresto prize fair is, but expect it will also be next month (looks like this will be the 40th Prize fair!)
45 DAYS UNTIL MEGAHOBBY EXPO!! That will be the big one folks!!
-
The only figure i want badly now is bartolomeo. Uber sad to have missed him. Is he ever gonna come back now that price has increased x3/x4 range sigh

Don't worry Blissy…..you know Megahouse.......they will hold another vote for the the next LIMITED figures to get re-released (Like they did with Franky and Sadie).
No doubt Barto and Cavendish will both get re-released.
-
If they make Zoro or one of the ladies like Boa I'd definitely consider buying one of the variable figs. Just no one I want currently, though Luffy does look decent.
-
I wonder if Megahouse planned upcoming POP, there is a huge gape between last year and this year isn't it?
I know for sure that in 2013 there was more announcement, but megahouse might just go low and lower in term of POP creation.
Unless they really decide to make finally some important characters like Baggy for example, and i wouldn't mind a dragon momonosuke MAS too, i didn't get his human version but his dragon version would be great!
If Megahouse stop focus on dressrosa and give us something from Punk Hazard i wouldn't say no. -
Latest delay info from MH: http://www.megahobby.jp/news/article/1282/
Looks like Nami, Nojiko and Zoro have been delayed until late May. So there won't be any POPs released this month.

I still have to get Nami and Zoro pre-order (already have Nojiko on pre-order) so not too worried about that.

I've lost any interest I had in FAZs though, moved on to POPs. Is it just me or does the FAZ line seem like it has slowed down?

This Ace looks nice, the price is really high for a FAZ btw, i'm unsure of the quality of FAZ, the battle zero one looks nice, however the normal ones might not be as great quality wise, do you think this one might look good?

Everything-One Piece has slowed down. We don't even have any Styling sets on the way and those kept going since 2005…

Haha….i wouldn't be surprised.......where is Maggie, wasn't she the only person buying all this Ace stuff!! lol
btw Louis, I'm starting to having 2nd thoughts about my plan to boycott Sailing Again Kid...........what do you reckon are the chances of you getting extras at release?

Slim and none when it comes to the limited stuff. I still have one extra that I haven't listed for sale yet if you decide you want it.

I love Tamashii Nations events. They show 30+ new prototypes just to never release them. I don't know why they waste their money paying sculptors.
Also for the first time I'm not even slightly excited about what MH will show. I had enough of their choices. I stopped buying their PoPs and I've been focused on the IK line and getting cutom based figures of characters I'd like to own a 1/8 of.

Yeah, i'm trying to keep the excitement alive, but the sad fact is that we're unlikely to see anything special for One Piece…...........I'm still only collecting POP's but with Fujitora and Sabo being my last and next figures i'm down to a 1 per year schedule! (great for my pockets!)
I'm much more excited about seeing DOD Vegeta painted, and hopefully Trunks or Frieza!! + The next round of SH Figuarts Kinnikuman figures, as that Asuraman looks awesome!!
Having also just watched Age of Ultron and being a massive Star Wars fan i'm also looking forward to see more of those Figuarts figures!!

I've received today CB-R Robin and Sanji. They're really nice, chibi versions of character are my weak point and since they don't cost a lot I think I'm going to get all of them before getting back to "big" characters.
During the next Megahobby I think we'll have some good announcements, such as Corazon, CB Law and Vergo. Maybe Baby 5 and some old characters too. I don't know why but I feel like we're going to see a Dressrosa Luffy. -
I am surprised to see now new One Piece WCF announced in mass like we were accustomed to see.
