kek I definitely just bought this of Mandarake 2 days ago, along with the MIRAI ver.

>tfw I don't even know anything about or have any attachment to Miku or vocaloids

>tfw I just like how the racing figures are designed

I justify pricey toys pretty easily, it's not a good habit. I just think shit like "this toy costs how much I earn in one single day's work. Just go to work for one day and boom, it's afforded."

Anyway I guess pic related will be my next target.

My problem with buying a racing Miku is that I'd be buying a Miku and then I'd want twelve different designs.
Also this. >>5787323

>>5787429
Not to say there isn't some absurdity in the prices of 3rd party figures but you didn't spend $600 on a single toy. You spent roughly $100 on 5 full Transformers figures (6 if you bought the saber tiger who's name I can't remember) so they're basically 2 toys in one, that can combine into one big figure. That's significantly more justifiable than just saying you payed $600 for a single toy.

Same, got a real Rei and 2 Reijects.

I was at Surugaya's Akiba store last week and picked up a misb Asuka for ¥3800 after tax. Kept putting it off all these years because shit outfit and floating bewbs, but I thought I'd better bite it this time.

Could've sworn I saw a Rei there for under 5k.

>>5789480
I never understood the "floating boobs" complaint until your picture. Holy shit. What the fuck.

>>5789568
My thoughts exactly omg

>>5787527
That's my logic on it too. I've bought in on 3 third party combiners so far. Buying 6 $100ish toys over several months is still nuts, but I'd never be able to just go all-in at once. Hell, that's probably half the reason I never got the Maketoys Computron - because it was only in a giftset.

Most of the G1 stuff I want is just too expensive for what it is. It doesn't help that most of what I want is Japanese-only. Plus, you have to factor in stuff that's prone to break. I've picked up Squeezeplay and Fangry for decent prices, but Horri-bull goes for so much more because the neck is easily broken.

And now that HasTak is targeting a lot more of the stuff I like, paying high prices for this feels more pointless.

Prove it's not a shit material that grows loose over time if used as a joint, can fuck up any other joints that aren't made out of diecast (and will even fuck up those also made of diecast), and isn't affected by the elements more than any other toy material other than rubber?

What's so bad about enjoying the feel of something? Are you so far beyond numb that all you care about in life is what its made of rather than what you make of it?

You're damn bitter.

>>5800340

Because a toy feels better when all of it's joints work and it won't fall apart in a few years from being made of inferior materials, maybe?

I mean, I GUESS if you want a toy whose joints will literally destroy themselves, or you're some kind of statuefag who never touches their toys, you might like diecast, but you'd still be wrong about it being a good material.

>>5800333
All joints grow loose with time, do you understand how friction works? Plastic has a better ability to stabilize itself from slight imperfections due to its elasticity (like a "self-healing" cutting mat), but the exchange of friction between two bodies is a marker of degradation.

And at least with diecast you don't have a potential quick death of material due to plasticizer leakage. If the phthalates begin escaping the plastic (which they almost always do after the 10 year mark) it pretty much signals the beginning of a process towards becoming brittle and shearing. This happens in the package or out, in humidity or in arid air. With diecast, so long as it doesn't get submerged in water, if you take it out of the box 75 years from now it will be factory fresh. As a material, plastics will always degrade faster.

Also, that sharp pain you just experienced was your balls retreating up into your body due to you becoming my personal bitch after my incredible beating of your candy ass with this post.

>>5800354
Diecast cars survive well. Diecast figures from the 80s have survived well. Soul of Chogokins are well engineered to work with the zinc.

The only bad example of die cast I can think of is early figuarts ankles. Even SIC is good now with a fine balance of diecast and plastics. A well weighted figure with diecast balances better than an all plastic figure.

not to be judgmental, but you sound like you've gotten too used to buying things. There's this concept called Hedonic Adaptation, which basically means that no matter how nice of a thing you get, you will always inevitably become bored of it and want a newer, nicer thing. That's how I was with toys. I'd buy one, enjoy it, and then it was like "okay, I need a new one". So I got to the point that I had these toys that I didn't actually like, I just liked buying them. So I put them all away for several weeks, and after realizing that I didn't care that it had been 20 days since I saw them, it dawned on me that I never really liked them, I just liked buying them, so now I'm selling them.

I don't want to sound like a downer for you toy fans out there, just saying that you have to remember to appreciate what you have, even if there's other stuff you really want.

>>5800390
You're not being judgmental at all, anon. I realized that I was suffering from it a while back. Hence why my toy related purchases has plummeted from thousands a month to a few hundred every few months. I'm also selling off most of my collection.

>>5800390
....fuck. I think I have this. My collection has gotten HUGE in the past two years, and it feels like I'm always buying new shit now compared to my more spaced-out purchases in the past.
