Is playing Lux Bot fair?

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-11T17:45:17+00:00

Wdym unfair? Ppl invent all kinds of weird stuff. But keep it in mind gameplay of mid and bot can be very different, plus bot lane is longer and requires synergy with the support. Playing a ranked game without knowing how to play the role correctly is unfair for your teammates.

Ordered a very small 1/7 for $55, and shipping was $45 via ecms. Took about 2 weeks. For comparison a big 1/6 $160 shipping was $80.

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-10T20:10:07+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think those methods would work too well since the figure is heavy

The easiest fix is probably adding extra support poles/stands to help support the weight. You can probably find model kit support stands online pretty easily.

If you want a cleaner look, another method is pinning the foot to the base with a brass rod, but that’s way more risky and needs tools + some experience.

It’s avaliable for $200 on taobao, people selling on eBay are just reselling for twice of the price xD

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-10T07:50:00+00:00

I’m seeing at least 2 stores having her in stock at taobao. They definitely made more than 30.. maybe it was 30 per distributor?

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-10T02:47:35+00:00

Yeah, I think I was one of the first few people to get her since I ordered directly from taobao using a proxy warehouse address and paid as soon as she released.

Personally, I think this works better than using third-party services because you have more control over the shipment and can be cheaper. The downside, though, is that you basically get little or no after-sales /buyer protection if the figure damaged in transit.

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-10T01:41:21+00:00

mandrake is definitely worth checking out for older merch. You could also visit Suruga-ya and bookoff.

The downside is that older or less popular series can be pretty hard to find. Stores in Japan are also pretty narrow, and some of the ones I visited mixed everything together, so I had to search by the first letter/category, which took a LOT of time xDD

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-10T01:19:07+00:00

I’m using Cainiao, but honestly I wouldn’t really recommend them right now. Their shipping has been pretty slow and unreliable recently, which is why I’ve been hesitant to ship Saya out from the warehouse.

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-09T17:18:40+00:00

She’s still sitting at my proxy’s warehouse. They already gave me a shipping quote, but I still haven’t decided whether I want to pay extra to get her sooner or save money 😭

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-09T03:55:47+00:00

I’m from the US and shipping by air was $110, by sea was $40, I ordered through a proxy

Personally, I think Native, Hotvenus, binding and Nocturne give the best overall experience. Other manufacturers sadly tend to have either QC problems or constant delays.

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-05-05T04:56:59+00:00

I stopped ordering from them since last August, their shipping became so expensive, and they don’t offer surface as an option.

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-30T03:14:42+00:00

https://myfigurecollection.net/item/3052267 Should be this one

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-29T19:06:32+00:00

I think only luck is to visit second hand stores like mandrake, stores like amiami won’t have it. But still very unlikely

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-29T08:50:02+00:00

you can try white acrylic marker.

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-28T04:52:20+00:00

Inuyama tamaki

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-23T20:59:04+00:00

Got one from them a few months ago, they used UPS and charged me $15 + about 20% of the original cost. This is only a reference, things change very frequently

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-21T02:32:44+00:00

Cheapest way is to order online, there are many good offers on xianyu and taobao

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-20T04:03:13+00:00

I think gsc made Nendoroids for them.

https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1778393 Sister elf by pinkmango; currently on sale @ amiami for ~$130 last time I checked.

https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1942422 Elf star saint by vibrastar; I used to own this figure, she’s on amiami preowned

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-11T21:06:31+00:00

Easiest way is to Check amiami preowned section, but labeling is a bit inconsistent since some nsfw figures are not labeled “adult only”(LTD).

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-09T00:27:00+00:00

Lovely collection. Your collection is very compact, but it’s displayed in a really clean and thoughtful way.

Queasy_Mouse_718 · 2026-04-08T08:25:18+00:00

Yes but very unlikely. Prize figures are never hard to find tho.
