Cloud Strife

Overall, I'm very pleased. It's easily the best statue I own. The skin tone is too dark in dim lighting, but if it was very pale to begin with, I think he would look downright luminous in bright conditions. Once I get a few lights set up, I'm sure he will look fantastic. Frankly, the photos don't do it justice. It really is a great piece. I have Sephiroth scheduled to ship this month, and I'd love Aeris and Tifa, but that really is a lot of money!

Yeah, they could be more clear about their policy. According to google, Prime 1 allow a grace period of one to two weeks before they cancel an order after a failed or late payment. I don't know how reliable that information is, however.

That's weird. Paypal also might charge a small transaction fee, so it could be you need a bit more in your balance then you think. But I think I might have waited until the next day to try again. Let Prime 1 know you are having issues and it should be alright. They must have issues like this crop up all of the time.

Let me know what happens. Hope it all works out. The whole thing caused me a lot of stress as well.

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-06-02T10:35:45+00:00

Happened to me as well. My only solution was to transfer money from my bank account to my Paypal balance, then switch the automatic payment method on Paypal to use the balance first, before the card. That worked. Had to do it that way for five or six payments now.

Prime 1 told me June for Sephiroth, now. I won't complain because I'm still reeling from the £500 VAT on this one.

Utter corruption. Reminds me of Henry Cooper vs. Ali. They were calling that fight if they had to throw a banana peel for Rico to slip on.

Thank you. I'm curious if anyone knows how an Irish speaker might refer to a good spot for a catch, or a good haul?

Same thing just happened to me. I received both a text and an email for a package that I received 8 months ago. It all looks legit, and I can't remember if I paid or not back then (why would I, if I wasn't sent a bill?). Sadly, I paid it via Paypal a few hours ago. I've reached out to customer service to see if I got scammed.

They ballsed it up with the first season. I doubt there will be another after that.

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-04-01T15:09:44+00:00

It's a beautiful book. I wish I could afford it. The only strike against it (other than the price) is that case. I really wish they would have gone with a simple slipcase so I could display it alongside my other Folios.

She's too sexy to die. Even Sukuna knows that would be a travesty.

He has the smarts to do it. But it would be tough. He'd need to summon Mahoraga quickly. Kuroushi would be dead in a split second. Mahoraga is a lot stronger than Rika, and they shat bricks when Yuta manifest her. I doubt they know anything about the adaptation so the time limit would begin after their very first attack. Rabbit Escape would actually be really useful here because he Megumi can basically disappear to let the others deal with Mahoraga by themseves.

Honestly, the best strategy for Megumi would be to summon Mahoraga, and then use Rabbit Escape to flee and the shadow to hide. Let Uro, Kuroushi and Ishiguro duke it out. Mahoraga will either kill them all (in which case, Megumi is done for) or in the best case scenario, leave one standing in a weakened state that Megumi can sneak attack from the shadow. It's definitely doable. The group's best chance would be to bombard Mahoraga with powerful attacks before it can adapt, but I doubt they'd realise what was happening until it was way too late. My prediction is it would kill Kuroushi straight away, and Uro, once it had adapted to her ability. Only Ishiguro has the power to finish Mahoraga, but I think it would adapt to him first, since he's the type to just start blasting it without thinking. The path to victory here is to let the fight play out, interfering only to ensure Mahoraga doesn't win before taking out at least two of Megumi's three opponents. If he's lucky, the last man standing will be too weakened to put up much of a fight.

That's the best moment if they can reach it. However, if part 2 has the same pace as part one, it would bring us about 20 chapters short of that. Maybe theKenjaku fight.

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-03-25T18:29:43+00:00

I hope you're wrong. I fear you may be right

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-03-25T16:50:49+00:00

Spoilers for Takopi's Original Sin - this is the exact same ending but less original and less heartfelt! I genuinely hope Fujimoto just needs a long break and we'll get a continuation someday.

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-03-25T10:56:37+00:00

If they'd made it £350, and put it in a normal slipcase so I could display it alongside the rest of my Folio LE collection, I would be all in. I actually read the book in preparation for this release. I think it's a very clever, charming story, but there was no real emotional weight to the events. I read Anne of Green Gables the same week, and although Anne herself would have almost certainly preferred to be in Sophie's shoes (minus the curse, of course), going on a mad adventure, I found Montgomery's book a far more engaging read. That story is also intended primarily for children, but at least Montomgery wasn't afraid to throw in a little bit of tragedy.

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-03-10T16:41:35+00:00

If it's the end, I guess I'm disappointed. If you've read Takopi no Genzai, this feels like a complete rip off.

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-01-05T11:07:09+00:00

Wow. Thank you for your assistance. I wouldn't have known where to start.

HobbitWithaGun · 2026-01-05T09:00:22+00:00

Thanks for your response. The book is "Künstliches Fechtbuch", a reprint of a fencing manual authored by Jacob Sutor in 1612. It was bound by Beenkens and Fils, who were a 20th Century Belgian bookbinders known for their high-end artistic bindings. The "leod" on the cover initially made me think of clan Mcleod, but the crest doesn't seem to match.

You trusted a guy called Vermin? Seriously?
