How much money does /toy/ to feed their toy addiction?
Me personally, $80 - $100. Currently collecting Star Wars Black Series 6" and McFarlane's 5" Walking Dead line. (Dis-continued)
/toy/ spend monthly *
>>5743398
Typically probably 50-100 bucks a month as I usually get like a single figma or a couple gundam kits or something.
Though if HLJ or hobbysearch or something has a good sale this can easily spike to 300 or so.
>>5743417
I say to myself $80-100 is a good level, but sometimes a string of preorders just come up and you feel like they put a gun on your head with limited release.
For example Figuarts Tony sold out on HLJ in hours, which kind of freak me out. I put him on Figinstock and had to PO him immediately when someone cancel their PO. Same deal with the recent deadpool. This month has been really bad for PO since I had to PO Figuarts Tony Stark, Revo Deadpool, Figma ZSS, and go for the 4 Horsemen Mythic Legion bowl on BBT since I missed the kickstarter.

Where to buy second hand Shinkis:
>eBay, Amazon - generally overpriced, but you might get lucky.
>Mandarake, Rakuten - search 武装神姫 and don't trust listing images.
>Yahoo Japan Auctions, Suruga-ya - you'll need a proxy if you’re not in Japan.
>Taobao - some shops ship international now, so you might not need a proxy.
>Amiami, Jungle-scs - occasionally get some preowned.
>Check the BST threads, My Figure Collection, and Busou Shinki World too.

Personally I dig the big eye designs. But then I really like cartoony, exaggerated designs so eh.

I know of one taobao seller that occassionally runs a recast of MMS3rd blanks without the need for rivets or screws. https://shop68300666.world.taobao.com/?spm=a1z0b.7.0.0.BoVtX2
Other than that, it's Yahoo Japan, secondhand sites, or conventions.

SRC Gurren Lagann w/ Drill Set of Manliness.
It's P good but I'm afraid to touch it and wear out the terrible diecast joints. Might sell; not sure.
Just hit me with that latecomer's tax, daddy.

Probably that revoltech horse.
No it wasnt worth it since the stand immediately broke and it can't do much without it.

So I know this has probably been discussed before, but is anyone else looking forward to these guys?
I was torn between Classic and .EXE, but I think that, since .EXE doesn't seem to come with any open/expressive hands, Classic will win it out for me.
I saw some promos for Hub Style .EXE and the preview shot for Dark Rockman.EXE-- what are the chances of one of them having open hands?

Wow wow who is making this? And when does it come out?

BRING IT CLANKERS!!
Small survey just for curiosity. I've been clearing away some of my collection (stuff I've had for a few years but haven't touched in awhile), and I realize some people are doing the same. It's making me wonder:
(for the sake of simplicity, action figures/dolls you've spent at least $5 on. Estimate if you don't know the specific number, obviously)
>how many figures would you guess you own?
>how many of those figures do you not display and play with? (excluding broken stuff)
>is there a certain limit where you'd think 'oh fuck, I have way too many figures'?
>is there an amount you would ideally like to upsize/downsize?
>do you feel your collection has too many/too few of something? (eg. too many waifushits)
>how many months/years have you been collecting? (as an adult collector, I guess?)
>how many figures would you guess you own?
72, according to my MyFigureCollection. Plus two or three things that aren't in their database.
>how many of those figures do you not display and play with? (excluding broken stuff)
Only the ones that I no longer consider part of my collection, ie ones I'm trying to sell.
>is there a certain limit where you'd think 'oh fuck, I have way too many figures'?
I've hit that limit before, it was 100. Almost immediately sold off a big chunk of my gunpla collection, then my waifu figmoes. Now I'm into my strong guys.
>is there an amount you would ideally like to upsize/downsize?
Not particularly. I don't have a magic number for "the right sized collection" in mind, at least.
>do you feel your collection has too many/too few of something? (eg. too many waifushits)
Nope, buying to fit some sort of checklist of kinds of toys is actually retarded. I wasted a lot of money buying things I didn't really want figuring that out.
>how many months/years have you been collecting? (as an adult collector, I guess?)
First gunpla kit was in October 2014, so let's say 18ish months.
>6, if you don't include models, 33 (probably) with models
>6, the actual figures
>when my dresser I use as a shelf gets full
>not really
>since January of last year, I bought the Gurren revo which also started my downfall into a cancerous weaboo
>about 85ish
>I have like 25~ figs I've yet to sell, which aren't accounted in that total number.
>150 seems like a scary number.
>Still under 100 by the end of 2016, hopefully.
>Nah. It's a complete sausagefest but that's not a problem for me, I guess.
>Since late 2008. I've sold a lot of shit to still have my collection under 100, yeah.
