Hello, I recently ended up buying some new figures.
I ended up getting this Gundam figure that cost me about $200USD
I also ended up getting some figure stands as well, since I did have an issue with losing some stands in the past and getting offical replacements seemed like a difficult task. I have the Corrin/Kamui figma and she does not fit on the stand thing so having an arm to hold her should be nice
I also ended up getting this figure as well since it was rather cheap (and because of how cheap it was, it is making me think that it may be some sort of model kit but I doubt that). Okay, maybe I should have looked more into it, but ya as it turns out, it is in fact a model kit.... welp at least it only cost me about $25USD. I have the tools to build a model kit (and I even have some paints for models kits as well as panel lining pens for Gunpla) but the issue is that they take me a long time. Something as simple as a HG RX-78 Gundam (a revision of the OG Gundam) took me like a day and a half to build and that is without painting it (I sand my stuff, I'm sort of a "perfectionist" without the actual end results that you would get from a perfectionist)
Well at least it seems like it will be easy to but together since I think this line of model kits is aimed at beginners
Also since I already bought it I may as well buy this along side it as well
The bike itself is something like $18USD
oh and I am still thinking about some figures that I am going to buy since I have something like $350USD in in-store credit from where I buy my figures from so that means that I can get 2 1/7 scale figures for "free"
Simply because of how expensive some figures can be from the store that I use I don't think I will keep buying from them anymore, In some cases there are figures that are much cheaper on other stores. As an example there is this one lewd figure it has two version, one of them is the lewd version is the other is less lewd but still lewd (the more lewd one is straight up NSFW stuff) and the store I buy my stuff from doesn't care it (or very lewd figures in general). Play Asia not only cares the lewd figure but is selling it for a much cheaper price, so after shipping and everything the lewd (NSFW )figure would cost less than what the store I normally buy sells just the base figure for. But on the other hand the store that I buy from will sell stuff at MSRP and shipping would also normally be free as well (that has changed and they now charge you shipping if you have it sent to a P.O. Box, which sucks.). Now there are something like the IO Code Vein figure that both Play Asia have, the figure cost the same on both stores, but the difference it shipping cost, Play Asia wants $20USD to ship it, while the place that I buy only wants about $6 (I would be free, but PO BOX)
The main benefit that the place that I bought stuff had over all the other guys was free shipping. I could buy 10 figures (all of them be 1/7 scale) and have them shipping to be one by one instead of one big package and not be charged for shipping (shipping alone for that would be over $50 USD from someplace and maybe even close to $100USD in some cases), but the place that I get my stuff would ship it all for free. I can still get free shipping, but the issue would be that I would need it shipped to my house and the issue with that is that I live with my parents, my mother doesn't like me buying figures and the possibility that the figures could be stolen. just being at the front of my door step. But then again I did have an issue with my P.O. Box and one of my figures being sent to the wrong post office, luckily I was able to get that sorted out very fast and able to get my figure.
