So it's a fact now - I'm changing my ways as a figure collector. I'm slowly drifting away from figmas and PVC figurines.
I missed figma Rider preorder and now, when she's out, I'm not running around in circles on Ebay, looking for less-overpriced one among heavily-overpriced. I just let it pass.
I see G.E.M. series 1/8 Okita from Gintama (an INSTANT preorder 6 month ago!), add him to the database and let him pass.
I trade all this relatively cheap pleasures for one or two expensive delights. I've got 200$ resin Rider and now I'm going to get my long-awaited RAH Rey Ayanami School uniform ver.
There she is. She is great. Medicom even bothered to add her band-aid hand. It was a sweet moment in Eva 2.22 (mild spoiler), when Rei tried to cook and cut her fingers.
I preordered her from AmiAmi - this is my first order on this site. I usually avoid AmiAmi because they disapprove canceling preorders and I change my mind quite often. But I made a simple calculation:
Basic price - 16800 yen - 184$
HLJ Early bird discount yen - 15960 - 174$
Hobby Search - 14280 yen - 156$
and finally
AmiAmi - 12750 yen - 139$
Too tempting^^ And I won't change my mind on Rei. Oh, and BTW, Medicom also announced Asuka and Mari RAH. But, for now, I'll refrain from getting them too. I'm a Rei-fag only^__^
My only remaining hope is Kaoru and Shinji in school uniforms. For now there is no sight of them, unfortunately.
