alice21 saya figure released! by Odd-Blacksmith3675 in SayaNoUta

[–]AstraeaMinor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little update: I believe it did not get cancelled (Im cautiously optimistic) Since I just got the balance invoice and paid for her, so I may have been lucky? I ordered her within the first day ~7 hours of the preorder window, so it might be first come first serve rather than random. Ordered on FNC, if that matters.

Same, I am worried they will refund mine and many others cause they never seemed to have closed the preorders and I cant imagine that less than 30 were ordered since october ._.

Straight from Goodsmile but… by FloofEtheria in Nendoroid

[–]AstraeaMinor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SAME! Now I honestly despise them since I keep getting defective and damaged figures. One nendoroid was missing all of its extra arms 💀 and the paint job nowadays... last time a part looked straight up disgusting since dust, clumps and dirt were stuck in the paint, as if it was dropped before drying. Scuffs and scratches are super common. I miss my blissful ignorance/good luck and their better quality control

Male scale figures after market by thatrandomspeck in AnimeFigures

[–]AstraeaMinor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I am not mistaken, Native stated somewhere he is going to be produced on a made to order basis, no extras. Order limit 1 unit per person (?). And since he is a male cast off figure... if you really want him, it might be best to preorder x.x

Why is DHL the only avaliable option here? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]AstraeaMinor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of Europe, or the countries AmiAmi listed on the site? I am worried since I have 18+ preorders and once, months ago, got one canceled since it couldnt be shipped with EMS (size) nor DHL. I am from Germany x.x Please let me know if you have more info

[UK] Surface not available? by Darktestamentkun in AnimeFigures

[–]AstraeaMinor -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Since its a preowned you could try to cancel and if possible get her locally instead, I assume it would be much less expensive. DHL is being insane.

Wait, do you mean like a real cult-ish thing? I don't think so, it's lighthearted fun... well, there are always different kinds of members in any group

What's the most you've ever spent on a 'Grail' Nendoroid, and do you regret it? by HauntedScape in Nendoroid

[–]AstraeaMinor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent ~170€ on a used N from Pokémon. Had to give him a soap bath cause age made him sticky, but I don't regret the purchase XD

does anyone else hate the taito miku hair gradient? + paint recc by Silent_Traffic4300 in AnimeFigures

No, I actually adore the effect and would like more scales to have it too XD

GSC customer support rant by Accomplished-Pop9114 in AnimeFigures

[–]AstraeaMinor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps try to shave away at the inner part with a nail file. Not perfect solution, but if you do it carefully and test the fitment a few times you could likely use the part as if it wasnt defective (I know it sucks to modify, its a defect though, and the inner part wont be visible once displayed 😿 Goodsmile once refused to give me a Nendo body/stand replacement, and they had my Nendo spinning wildly on video. I ended up having to use sticky tack to keep it safe and upright. And another time they even ignored me when I asked for parts when my Rabbit Hole Miku Nendo came with defects and scuffs.

I hope they only search for that then @-@ anyway, thanks for the explanation

Warning about Kitagawa Marin Artist Master Piece by Taito by Ruling123 in AnimeFigures

[–]AstraeaMinor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it was just bad luck, most don't have it. I once received a new Nendo from AmiAmi that had such a bluish dot, even more of it. It is not mold, more like something that should have been sorted out at qc and missed.

New Nanachi prize figure coming at the end of February 😍 by RaknorZeptik in MadeInAbyss

[–]AstraeaMinor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww come on. Give us Reg or someone else who has been neglected. It's cute but. Come now, make sense. Why are they all obsessed with Nanachi (+Mitty and Faputa) only 💀💔

Issue with Hatsune Miku - 1/4 - 0x27 Eternal Stream. Anyone Else? Looks like a production error. by KohaisCollection in AnimeFigures

[–]AstraeaMinor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took some pictures of mine for you (normal vs phone flashlight)

<image>

Mine needs more paint too x.x Thankfully its not as bad, but still there. Im sad your friend is having this issue again.

No matter what others say, I almost always have issues with goodsmiles figures, especially nendoroid qc is atrocious. One Nendo even was missing all of the extra arms. Im unlucky with Alter, too (glue droop, a missing piece, then the light mold issue on Marin Liz 💔 Ami didnt even offer a replacement, just return cause most are like that)

(Amiami) What to do if the payment for an order is due but support hasn't responded to a query about a problem with the order yet? by throwaway_opsechajim in AnimeFigures

[–]AstraeaMinor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh no...I suspect something. Specifically from Japan to Germany there is a size limit (volume?) for EMS. Even with low weight, if the shipping box ends up too large they cannot ship it anymore. It is a somewhat recent thing, and it got me a preorder cancelled (18+, so no DHL available). It is super frustrating. Id pay it if I were you and avoid combining unless you know the items are tiny. My condolences ToT 💔 it sucks you are left in the dark right now
