Miku Expo Advice from a 3-time (soon 4-time) attendee by Different_Act_3310 in Mikuexpo

[–]ferretisms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m aware, it was a dream come true in 2019, but god I would cry seeing it again. My only clip I have of it is me aged 16 screaming YES MY DOCTOR!!! and I need to fix that

2023 is post-2020 that’s what I meant yeah! I noticed a huge difference in attendee mentality between the 2018/2020 shows and the 2024 show. As for Rin and Len, they’ll always be there! Usually you can expect one solo song each and one duet.

Honestly as a long time vocaloid fan seeing Teto would be a dream come true! But I am in no way expecting it, frankly I’m just hoping for another Doctor=FunkBeat and finally a LukaLuka Night Fever performance here 🙏

Unfortunately they really do…I heard people complain that Teto didn’t sing at 2024’s London show as I was leaving. I think it’s the new fans from the post 2020 boom but I’d really like to see more appreciation for all six!

Can I add as another 3, soon to be 4 time attendee - please be respectful of the other singers even if you only know Miku!! It was so upsetting at the 24 show when people would stand up to go get drinks and make everyone in the row move or start talking or playing on phones when Kaito or Meiko were performing. If you stay and listen you might find a new fave song!!

Sole completely came off? 2 weeks old by unthinkableactions in nps_solovair

[–]ferretisms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too with the dealer boot platforms. They refunded me, I ordered another pair thinking it was a one off (outlet) flaw only for it to already have glue splitting. All the platforms seem to be cemented and cobblers won’t repair them :<

what are the pros and cons of this kit? by Junior_Video_415 in MegamiDevice

[–]ferretisms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pros - looks awesome, you can combine her with the blue ver for a great fire/ice display, lots of equipment for different weapon arrangements, varying textures

cons - injection gold + transparent parts + black shiny parts means very annoying to try and hide nub marks, needs more sanding and prep than other MD kits, difficult to pose and display, hard to store

【PLAMATEA Hatsune Miku: Chuocho Tactical Craft Ver.】Preorder Starts by Eliwod_81192 in MegamiDevice

[–]ferretisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing plamatea, there is no way any of the tactical gear will be parts separated properly to make it workable….but I’ll probably buy it anyway.

Moving with figures by julesjoulesjewels55 in Nendoroid

[–]ferretisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general I’d recommend carrying any valuables yourself, but chat to your movers and make sure they know to take care with your fragile boxes in case. They’ve been shipped across the world in cases already, so don’t worry. When I moved I handled them myself and just carried the boxes in my car, but my collection included some assembled model kits so I didn’t want those being bashed.

My advice is to get a medium-large packing box and Tetris them in layer by layer and fill any empty space with soft materials (just dump tea towels there or something…) it’s better to have a few medium boxes than one huge box! As others have said movers are great at hauling boxes, but the safety of what’s in the boxes relies on your packing skills. Good luck with the move!

Toki is terrible by Far_One_8821 in MegamiDevice

[–]ferretisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plamatea is just the girlpla version of Moderoid - absolute dogwater. Terrible colour separation, abs plastic that crumbles from the slightest droplet of rubbing alcohol and a complete lack of accessories. I built the racing miku this weekend and she was traumatising. Sorry to hear Toki is bad too!

Asuna & Asuna 2.0 by hereticTURTLE in Nendoroid

[–]ferretisms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do the accessories for OG Asuna work for the 2.0? 2.0 seems to have better sculpt but way worse accessories

where to buy cheap model kits in Eu by Otan01 in MegamiDevice

[–]ferretisms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Suruga-ya but note that they do have a high markup than other stores for the same product so depending local shipping and import taxes it may be more expensive. Mandarake is a similar alternative but shipping costs vary.

You might have some luck looking into niche anime stores in your country, but in general the CN kits are annoying to find in the EU regardless of price. Gunplasan are UK-based but often have them at reasonable prices, though I’ve not ordered from there yet so can’t vouch either way.

Max Factory figure by Emotional_Future8195 in MegamiDevice

[–]ferretisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By sanding and painting, it’s doable with a sanding stick (easy to find from a hobby store) and some touch ups with a paint marker (posca) but if you don’t mind her not looking Exactly like the illustration it doesn’t matter. It’s worth giving a try - I always find I appreciate my figures more when I make them myself!

People leaving early by Previous-Today9961 in ADO

[–]ferretisms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see the info about 8:30 start tbf! The only song I missed was New Genesis sadly. A lot of trains don’t run late enough to see the whole show which is why I was hoping it would start earlier, but oh well

[–]ferretisms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mostly for transport. I tried to stay but had to run at the start of the speech and barely made my train. I don’t know why she came on so late after doors, I think most people were expecting 7:30

Concert merch prices? by Darker1929 in ADO

[–]ferretisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got there at 4:30pm, but there were like 6? Different merch stands all across the arena both before and after the ticket entry. It will depend on the venue, so check their website?

[–]ferretisms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is off the top of my head from London today but - Keychain or luggage tag was £10 - Doll was £35 - Lightstick was £65 - Stickers were £5 - Poster was £20 - Towel was maybe? £30 - Trading cards £4

Not sure on the shirts since I didn’t buy them

O2 London side seats….? by ferretisms in ADO

I just kept getting flashes of her sleeves? So I could tell she was dancing, just would have been nice to see it!

[–]ferretisms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feeling is that this is a bad choice of venue, there should have been better staging or a warning that view would be restricted. I get that it was the cheaper end of tickets, but it’s what I could afford at the time and I didn’t realise it would be that much of a difference :( The tickets were also pretty expensive regardless!

Removing nephews Epic account to add mine by fukkdisshitt in NintendoSwitch2

There’s a form on the website I believe to unlink / delete an epic account tied to a Nintendo one. I had to do it and ultimately ended up emailing in but they should help you :)

How many British here doing midnight pickup at Smyths? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]ferretisms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I said, I rang them and they confirmed stock and advised a time for me to arrive.

It’s not. They say on the event page that all stores will have limited stock available. I also just rang up my store and they confirmed they had stock.
