I saw some very small photo on taoboa review/comments on item on sale. They looks ok. But some YT comments said many are dissapointed by the bare plastic red and loose joints. I would not mind too much (about the joints) since it will be mostly static posted not play with. But some said that the hand can't hold the weight of the weapons.

Pontus Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Well, fortunately these lovely ladies found their way to my doorstep unlike the last one. Is it wrong to collect figures yr not even familiar with as characters simply because they're super cute and awesome looking? I think I have a problem because I can't stop buying these things. I am actually familiar with Hatsune Miku, but I'm not a fan. Edited January 11, 2020 by Pontus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually familiar with Hatsune Miku, but I'm not a fan. I see no problem here. I’ve considered getting some figures like this but even an uncontrollable hoarding collector like me had to draw the line somewhere. I have cracked on rare occasions like the SuperSonico AGP Ride Armor because transforming Bike Armor toys are nearly irresistible to me. I haven’t photoed it yet but for reference I have been getting other similar figures but of characters I am very familiar with because I’ve found there are so many figures like these, it’s pretty easy to find ones I like that are also of characters I like.

The guy had a bid on it already. I messaged him asking if he had a BIN and to name his price. He said because there was a bit he wanted to let it run out. I'll bet I get it for less than he could have gotten out of me. So did you pull the trigger on that Stealth SSP set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on Ebay I was referencing to went for $163.00 I think (that's a good price these days), others are selling it for much higher prices. The Stealth Box set w/SSP are really pricey, some as high as $700.00+ on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the guy to end it early and name his price. He wanted to let it ride (and didn't give me a number). I ended up getting it for about $100 less than I was willing to go. I'll call that win!
