No
>Do you buy characters you don't like?
I use to, I did that retarded thing TFags did and tried to buy complete waves of a line, but that's pretty retarded in hindsight
Additionally, I have a new buying rule for myself, if I'm not willing to pay 4 times the amount for a fig, then it's a shitty idea to buy it even on sale.
i bought a figma asuna. I don't approve of SAO but she cute, so
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

SD Group Build
Rules:
Pick up an SD anything, plane, Gundam/other MS, whatever, if it's generally an SD it counts (so I hope to see someone do a D-Style). Obviously, per all group builds, you'll want to paint it.
Submissions:
Email it to [email protected]
USE AN ACTIVE EMAIL ADDRESS
Due Date: November 1st
Good news! A kind anon has purchased some prizes for the group build. He has decided to do a random drawing rather than judge them like I did in the previous group build. Winners will be contacted via email.
For those curious, I intend to start the secret Santa signups on October 1st.
Secret Santa
It's that time of year again. Just look at the form and fill it out. Signups last until December 1st, pairs go out in the days after that.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdprprkU_4UBARdot0ASSmoUoxghk9bOPVuRrvZKfghAZQRbg/viewform?c=0&w=1
A few things:
-Use an active email, I don't want to be hounding you and then have to repair someone.
-Use your full address, I don't know every damn city and zip code in the US.
A new option, Cards Only. If you pick this you're assumed to be willing to ship international (it's a card after all). It doesn't have to be a handmade card, just something nice. Of course handmade is nicest, but not everyone has the skills for it.

As always, I'm available here, on IRC, or at [email protected].
man this thing is fucking cool. i might actually get those pbandai expansions for it.

Anyone has any Rc cars round here? Nitro/electronic Welcome I guess. I have a 1/8 nitro buggy that's been stopped for a few years, currently getting it ready to run again. Also considering getting a 1/8 nitro on road, but I don't know any tracks nearby
>>5979815
Used to have a Tamiya (Dark Impact).
>>5979815
nitro seems fun and all, but almost everyone who has one has it in the closet for a year-indefinitely because they break down and are pricey to troubleshoot. Give me a cheap, reliable, slow, battery powered tamiya any day.
Also the scale speed of nitros are ridiculous.
built my first kit the other day, tamiya dt03. love it. awesome companion to my ruckus with all manner for shenanigans done to it.

Why haven't you ordered Articulated Icons yet?
>>6000435
Cause they're not everyone's cup of tea. I ordered a fair bit of them because I think this was a great go from Fwoosh and it's really cool that they were able to get these figures conceptualized and make them happen, plus I thought they looked good.
Can we stop now? You should have used the other thread if you actually want to talk about them, instead you're just trying to be annoying and you're making them look bad at the same time.

This guy is too expensive.
What are some soldier men I can use to army build or at least build a small squad, that are of similar quality but lower price?
>>5998243
why do you think is expensive?
>>5998243
Buy the bootleg of it.
You knoe what needs Figuarts?
They need Mafex. Figuarts quality is going down while Mafex is going up
>>5997521
I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

unless they're making toku, seems like bandai's half assing every other IP
So it looks like starting this December, they are taking the event to places around the world as part of their 10th Anniversary. Is your country on the list?
All I know is thank god it's not fucking SDCC for the U.S., but fuck that little dot looks like New York.
Looks like North Carolina to me desu
What big convention is in NC?

>>5996610
North Carolina Comicon in Durham. They've been running ads for it in every DC Young Animal book since they're the big guest stars this year.

beelzebub himself fears the bagger 288
will this three pack only be for sale for one day? or will pre-orders be open for atleast a few weeks like a normal web exclusive? (i asked toku general but they do not help and also that thread is almost dead)
go fuck yourself
>>5993296
There'll be a new thread in a bit and the moon readers will be able to help us out then.
>>5993296
This didn't deserve it's own thread, I also know the answer but go fuck yourself.

Used to be a lot of threads online with people complaining about their family/SO telling then to grow up and stop buying toys. Haven't seen one in a long while though. Are you over that phase or is distribution/pricing so fucking bad that there's no purchasesuch for them to shit on?
My friends/family don't mind so much. They mostly just look at it as a silly thing I like. But there is one story that I think was funny.

ouch
Warcraft got figures before Overwatch.
Seriously Blizzard?
It's only that one has existed for over 20 years.
Why wouldn't Blizzard's flagship property get figures before some meme game?
