Yeah and add to that, that shipping cost is insane and there you go. I’m taking a long break from collecting I have a pc and a hifi system to build in the meantime. If the hobby remains the same I don’t think I’ll really get back into it. It’s no longer the obscure/niche hobby it was a few years back and the industry knows this. It’s just me wishing the prices will become sane again lol.
Depending on the maker price to performance has improved due to better sculpts over the years.
For example kotobukiya released this great figure with an awesome base plus shipping was $18. And for a $200 total from amiami this was pretty well done. The more lewd figures are a bit much tough for example the bunny figures with very basic bases are way overpriced.

Compared to finding a figure of a character who’s not super popular(or a series that’s not terribly well known), the wait for a pre-order really isn’t that bad. The experiences I’ve had with AmiAmi have been pretty good so far.
I just got a figure that had been delayed for a month:
And they always have a little page about their mascot

Lol one of my holo figures got delayed for half a year. It’s a always pleasure dealing with amiami but sadly i may drop them soon as I am forced to pay dhl for all my figure orders

Nah, Miku is best girl, second is Ichika. Xp The other three sisters are all very good girls, but don’t make it into my list.

You get a liked. But I don’t agree… 
Isn’t Miku and that pajama well known though? I barely have time for anything hobby wise anymore. Anime is another one of those things left behind. I do like her design and that figure very much though.
I still have preorders from 2019 getting pushed back. I quit then and just left stuff I ordered to trickle in but they still in limbo lol. I think I have 5 more left and then I’m out totally. Shipping anything is just insane right now.
Eh, never said you had to.
I actually wanted one with her wearing her headphones, but the pre-order had ended.
It’s more some of the other characters I’ve thought about getting figures of that are a bit of a pain.
This girl just came in she will look great with my c2 on the way but I honestly have no room lol gotta install more shelves

If you’re looking for them, you can still find the imperfections without much difficulty, but still
I mean they look ,much better than the competitors which is the EXQ line which have weird face sculpts but really hard to complain at the price point
