GU-11 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Some new figma shown at Wonderfest I like this game version of BRS. Too bad it's a Wonderfest exclusive. Quote
akt_m Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I wonder why there aren't any Macross figmas?? A Minmay made by them would look very good i bet. Quote
Tober Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 More upcoming pics ofFigmas at Wonderfest. The BRSs apparently aren't WF exclusive. The 'sword version' is bundled with a HUKE artwork book and the 'game version' is due for release in November. Quote
Frogze Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I've been rewatching some Berserk episodes after hearing there was a movie coming soon and there's no way I'm gonna miss this Guts figma when it's released! Quote

Omegablue Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) About the game version of BRS. Are we certain it's a Wonderfest exclusive as it's only being released in November? Also Good Smile Company's online store now sells exclusives internationally. Managed to purchase the Aegis Armour Wonder Festival exclusive for $30. Only problem is that it was for sale only for 5 days. So best to follow their FB page, as they only notify through that. Edited July 29, 2011 by Omegablue Quote
Negotiator Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Has anyone that ordered from Goodsmile, been fully charged yet? I used a cc instead of paypal and I think I saw a small amount deducted from my acct, and then it just disappeared. Not sure if it was one of those quick tests, but still haven't been charged. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Wow, pretty nice figures. Where is Macross and Valkyrie Profile ? Quote

One thing though; on the other forum, I saw a pic of a BRS bike that was featured among the figures. Does anyone know how much it costs? Quote

Charged fully. Though wondering if it means it's already shipped? Didn't get any shipping notice? One thing though; on the other forum, I saw a pic of a BRS bike that was featured among the figures. Does anyone know how much it costs? Looking at it's detail, and considering it's also made by Freeing, expect it to the same price of the Gantz cycle, also by Freeing. Quote
Negotiator Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Charged fully. Though wondering if it means it's already shipped? Didn't get any shipping notice? It took them awhile to reply. I ordered Roger Smith and that will be released late November. this was there response: "Dear Sir and Madam Thank you very much for your message. For your payment, we will charge whem your order ship out. Best Regards, Goodsmile online customer support" Now that's contradictory to what their usage guide says: - When will my card be charged? - I've been charged, why hasn't my product been sent? The charge will occur as soon as you pre-order. So *shrugs* I dunno.... if I get...I get it, if not...oh well...money saved Quote
Omegablue Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 So I've been charged for a figure that will only ship in... four months time. LOL BTW, for months I've sent them continous e-mails about adding South Africa to their shipping list. Evantually on FB I met their website translator, whom also lives in South Africa. He sent them one e-mail, and South Africa was added the next day. Yesterday I finally got a reply from GSC, and said they're investigating the addition of South Africa, two weeks after it's already added. Honestly, I think there's some bad translation going on with their own staff in Japan. Quote
Negotiator Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Ya, they need reps that can fluently speak English for the English customers. I always type in broken engrish to japan, leaving only the key words in hoping its easier for them. Quote
Tober Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 figma BRS2035 From "Black Rock Shooter THE GAME" is up for pre-order on Amiami etc. Release scheduled for December now. Quote
wolfx Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Preorder for madoka figma is closed everywhere....wtf >.< Homerun is aplenty though. Quote
akt_m Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Just arrived the megurine luka i ordered, Very well done for its size. what have i done? now i want more!!! Edited August 17, 2011 by akt_m Quote
akt_m Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 One question, usually when one figma is out of stock, does it get re-stocked or it is over forever??? Quote
GU-11 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 One question, usually when one figma is out of stock, does it get re-stocked or it is over forever??? Been wondering about the same thing. Seems like the BRS Strength figs was in severely short supply for some reason, and most all online stores are sold out. Quote
Omegablue Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Been wondering about the same thing. Seems like the BRS Strength figs was in severely short supply for some reason, and most all online stores are sold out. With figmas it depends. Sometimes the figures get re-issued a year later, like the Aegis and Sigma, and sometimes once they sold out, that's it. Just like their Rider figure, impossible to find below $90 after pre-orders sold out. And most of the time the popular figure seems produced on short supply. I really don't understand their line up strategy. Especially with their continuous selection of school girls, and at times leaving the lines incomplete. Example, Alphard from Canaan is still missing... And that one would have been the better seller. Quote
Tober Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I have no idea how Max Factory gauge interest for re-issues, but yeah, it does happen. The original Black Rock Shooter was re-issued after there apparently was a problem with the waist joint. Drossel has been re-issued at least once. Others include Miku and the K-On girls (who apparently have had multiple re-issues). And yeah, it sucks when they leave some lines incomplete and others get inane secondary releases (yes, Miku and Haruhi , I'm looking at you...). Quote

It's because for ever person who would buy a single Kamen Rider or Canaan figure, there's a creepy guy who would by 30 duplicates of any given K-on figure. Quote
Tober Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Just heard that BRS is getting an anime release next year. So a better chance that the characters will be re-released, hopefully. Quote

Just like their Rider figure, impossible to find below $90 after pre-orders sold out. And most of the time the popular figure seems produced on short supply. That's what pisses me off the most. I actually pre-ordered Strength at my local hobby store, but they had to go on a first pre-ordered first served basis, and I still haven't received a call from them yet. I have no idea how Max Factory gauge interest for re-issues, but yeah, it does happen. The original Black Rock Shooter was re-issued after there apparently was a problem with the waist joint.

And yeah, it sucks when they leave some lines incomplete and others get inane secondary releases (yes, Miku and Haruhi , I'm looking at you...). I'm just hoping that Strength gets a re-release, seeing how popular the whole BRS line has become. Besides, there's so much more potential in BRS [a veritable smorgasbord of characters in the BRS universe, and probably many more to come] than K-On [5 lead characters, and the story pretty much ends with the second season, unless they start a reunion/college band thing]. Just heard that BRS is getting an anime release next year. So a better chance that the characters will be re-released, hopefully. The game version of BRS is scheduled for a December 2011 release too, but still no news on the bike. Love that bike. Quote
Negotiator Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 finally found and probably the last Eva 2.0 Rei @ frank n scalpers . Love it. Now hopefully they make an asuka for 3.0 w/ proper suit and extra face w/o eyepatch. Quote
Omegablue Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Is the game BRS also going to be in English? Nice go there, Negotiator. She is the better of the three Eva figmas in qaulity finish. Quote
shiroikaze Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) While I'm not that big of a fan of the anime to get their figmas, the last three images are total win. http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3222/figma+Homura+Akemi.html Is the game BRS also going to be in English? Supposedly, it will. http://tomopop.com/post.phtml?pk=20008&un=BTA Argh, so tempted to get the rest of the line for BRS... Edited August 25, 2011 by shiroikaze Quote
Tober Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 So I'm wondering what happened to that Revoltech Samus... Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Nintendo x Max Factory. Suddenly millions of video game nerds nose's just bled. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! Quote
Scream Man Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Yeah between that and Guts Figma FINALLY has some toys I want! Quote
