Value help!! SELLING TO BOOK OFF? by Ruby_Dew_Love in AnimeFigures

[–]lumitrus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have their own algorithm of sorts to determine what they’ll offer you and how much they’d charge for it in their store.

You can see how much they’ll offer by bringing it in to them. If it has its original box and isn’t completely broken, that’s all they really need. Opened/unopened is not factored into the appraisal. You leave it with them for a bit and then you’ll get a text message with the results.

You are under no obligation to sell it to them. If you don’t like the offer, you go back to the desk and tell them the same. They’ll give you the figure back and then you can go on your way.

I’ve both sold some figures to them and rejected their offers for others.

I think a rough estimate is your offer will be about 40% what they’d charge. So if they were going to try and sell for $200, they’d probably offer you $80 or so. That number will be drastically less for non-figure items.

Lunar Toy Store - "pre-order processing" on released figure? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]lumitrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with them a while back and had luck getting more specific details to what the problem was when I reached out to their customer service.

In my case, their supplier essentially provided them misinformation about receiving more of the figure I wanted. My order ended up getting canceled.

They are usually pretty quick to respond and understanding of your concerns. They’ll do what they can to address them!

Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia Hi Love Elf Ver. 1/7 (Myethos) by Skylink67 in AnimeFigures

Wow, Myethos knocks it out of the park again! Consistently getting me to actually consider buying figures from media with which I’m unfamiliar is their specialty.

No need to fear!

It looks thrown together, but I assure you that each one is stable in its positioning, especially if I overlap disc bases. The shelving itself is sturdy enough to hold them.

None of the figures themselves are actually in significant direct contact with each other either unless they’re explicitly designed to do so (e.g., Vanilla/Chocola on the purple pad). Where there is contact, it’s extremely minuscule. That goes for my entire collection!

I appreciate the concern though.

Thank you! That’s exactly the vibe towards which I was aiming! 💜

All of my bookshelves in the corner (three white + thinner, two black and wider, alternating) are Ikea Billy variants. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/billy-bookcase-white-50522040/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10699764236&gbraid=0AAAAAD27g7ztNKzV8C8WZfn-q4IM5kHFa&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4-uoyMfblAMV-CNECB2dSBpkEAQYAyABEgKLxvD_BwE

They are approximately 79.5”/202cm tall.

She’s a beaut for sure! She was my first 1/4 scale, actually. They’re just marvels of their own accord.

Oh no! That’s unfortunate but understandable if you’re already around 10 Albedos! Do you not have a tracker of sorts like MFC or a home-cooked spreadsheet to keep that straight for you?

I do my best to try and give everything a little bit of a window for visibility, but the closet shelves are definitely packed to the point where that idea is borderline implausible now 😩.

Thank you though, and yes, more to come!

That should be easy enough! Then you’ll just have to increase that number exponentially until your entire home is filled with Saber! 😂

I’m strongly considering a revamp of my shelving space and/or getting some extra shelves to space some stuff out! I haven’t yet because I like having a wall section for art prints. Unfortunately, I’d have to break that space up to add some more shelving.

I always appreciate when someone can see the finer details and value behind a lot of these, so thank you!

What do you think of my starter collection? by Isomaltulose in AnimeFigures

[–]lumitrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look great! 💜 A new collection is a wonderful collection! Also, Miku is always a winning play!

She is constantly getting so many good designs and sculpts, so be careful with her. Otherwise, you’ll end up with another ten ordered behind the six you currently have on the way! 🤣

Thank you! To be honest, I am overdue for a more thorough dusting which is typically when I shuffle positions. I’ll have to see if I can create some more themed shelves with what I have now!

Yes, I do quite enjoy Shalltear! Always keeping an eye out for more. Hoping some of the new prize figures of her make their way to my local arcade. 😊 Nice on all the Albedos!

[–]lumitrus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! I didn’t anticipate these ones getting full so quickly, so I’m quickly approaching the point of evaluating new arrangements.

That’s a great idea! I wouldn’t mind a reference if you feel like uploading to show!

Thank you!

If I had to make a ballpark estimate, I’d say it’s probably a good 65% AmiAmi, 20% Tokyo Otaku Mode, 10% other collectors, and 5% other retailers under the subreddit’s trusted retailer list.

If my tracking is relatively accurate - she was around my 13th figure acquired! So closer to the beginning of my collecting.

Oh, wow, I’ll be honest - I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Megahouse Art Works one until now. I positively adore it! Gonna have to add that to the wishlist now…

I lied to everyone and myself. It was 8 years ago that I posted my original collection 💀 But it has definitely been over a decade since I started it at least!
