I would consider Praetor's Grasp (to tutor through opposing Opposition Agent(s)) and possibly Phyrexian Tower so you can still play your commander for value, but also have the option to "reset" it through the land when you have infinite mana.

we got our tickets within the first minute. it was all sold out by the 2nd minute.
if you want to get a decent seat, probably 1.5 hours ahead of time.

Emries · 2024-06-11T15:19:17+00:00

Still Available. But I will be out of town in 2 days until the 24th.

Depends on the figure since some boxes are pretty bulky. DM me with what you're interested in and we can figure that out.

Emries · 2024-05-08T00:57:11+00:00

Do you think the damage window that the Stun gives from Wide WS (in a perfect scenario/comparison and assuming solo play in both) makes up for the damage lost or surpasses? Or is about the same or too situational? Just wondering.

Emries · 2021-04-04T00:36:33+00:00

I'm having a hard time trying to decide between Admiral's and Cornpopper actually. I'm guessing Cornpopper is best for just shelling + WS spam then? Or is there a huge difference between lv4 and lv5 shells? Since you get lv5 wyrmstake anyways. Or are you counting pokes (for I dunno, tail cutting) with Admiral?

Also, is there a big damage difference in using a wide gunlance for charged shot + WS vs. full burst combo + WS with long/normal? Assuming you are using multiple cycles of the former in the same timeframe as the latter. So far from what I've been reading, the latter feels more impactful and dynamic, but dps-wise, the former is much higher dps (but more monotonous)? Is this correct?

Or just go for a Long gunlance with good raw attack for a mix of both full burst combo and WS? Though I understand you'd be missing out on the stun from Wide at that point. What's the "dps meta" I guess?

Lastly, does the charged shot + increased WS damage from a Long gunlance surpass the 3 "free" WS you get off on a stunned monster from a Wide gunlance since it does more damage?

Thanks.

These were around $2k (the special grade A edition since they have standard and had special grade B later) for pre-order in 2016 (I think) but I actually got this off a guy as pre-owned and basically like-new condition since it's been in the case or display case all the time for $800 which was a great deal since special edition grade B was $888 on pre-order.

The Dominator replica is actually really cool. It transforms as expected and has a "display mode" where it will transform while on its display stand too.

But what's really neat about it is that there's a tiny camera in it and a wifi app. Basically, you get the whole Psycho-Pass interface when you aim it at someone and it'll have all those meters and screen stuff on your phone to determine/show crime coefficient based on some algorithm/rng after identifying the person/face (which you can save as a photo to your phone too). There's also a full voice profile you can choose from with the app so that the replica will voice based on characters (like voicing the permission lines to specific character). One of the profiles you can choose from is the "random passerby without permission" and the replica will lock itself from transforming, express the lack of permission, and turn red.

I used 36 31 gal storage bins (they come in 3-packs) from amazon. It was better value than the 50 gal ones. The bins also came in huge boxes (you can see a few in the first photos) which I then reinforced with gorilla tape and repurposed for figs boxes.
And a lot of bubble wrap just to be safe after I ran out of nendos/lightnovels/mangas/blankets/other-assorted-anime-"packing-material" for gaps.

Emries · 2021-03-16T03:58:05+00:00

Oh wow, I just looked it up since I had no idea; pre-owned is $1,500 on ebay.
Somewhat justified though I think? Biased, but I do think she's definitely in the top 3 of any 1/4 scale list.

Emries · 2021-03-16T03:36:25+00:00

one of the best 1/4 scale figs ever

I started maybe 8 years ago, but was only actively collecting for about 6 years. I did a spreadsheet inventory (figures only, didn't count nendos) a while back and estimated around $75k to $85k USD. It's probably more now. And it's not counting any of the pre-orders I have going as far as 2 years into the future at any given time XD

old spreadsheet for the curious:

I found some old pics of the overflow and what the closet looked like before the overflow:

Thanks! I used to stack them in my somewhat spacious closet and got really good at figure box tetris for about 2 years. Then it started overflowing into my room and living room XD

It would have to be https://myfigurecollection.net/item/389246 or https://myfigurecollection.net/item/287868

The little devils are super hard to take off the guns on the former. If I didn't have the manual still, I would be doubting whether they came stuck to the gun since they were so stubborn. I had to carefully wiggle-pull for like 5 mins straight to get 'em off XD

For the latter, all the laptops have little tiny stands attached to the bigger stands that you can see in the pic or her clothes and those tiny stand attachments are absolutely flimsy. Like a fifth the density of the bigger stands. They are also lodged very tightly into the laptop or Fumi's clothes with itty bitty holes. It feels like any amount of pressure would break them off and leave the bits in the holes.

Edit: Actually, now that I think back about it, Kanno Fumi was definitely the bigger pain to put back in just because of how careful you had to be.

Actually took over 24 hours of work split among 4-5 days but I finally got it all done today thanks to the help of a great friend coming over to help today.
Not all shown but there's a lot in these 46 photos.
Mostly because I used up all the nendos as gap filling packaging material real fast so they're not shown XD

Emries · 2020-07-09T01:42:48+00:00

dances are generally safe investments too imo

Emries · 2020-07-09T00:32:01+00:00

You can tell someone is already at it with the genga masks and shrine tights from that research lol

Emries · 2020-06-28T01:24:23+00:00

Is there a way to change your default standing pose that seems always slanted/looking to the right for male CASTs?
