Hmmz, I’m actually seriously considering getting that pack purely for the figures. I could give the game to a friend.. Seems I have till July to decide.

And with all the Tales news pouring out all of a sudden, let me add this one: Tales of Symphonia is getting some PVC figures, made by Alter. Zelos and Lloyd for now, but I suspect other characters will get made eventually as well. Tales of Symphonia has never had 1/7 (ish) pvc figures made yet as far as I know, even though characters of other Tales series have. Milla had a [nice one] recently, but I never played Tales of Xillia, so I don’t have much connection to the character (character design isn’t doing much either for me). Symphonia did have cool gashapon a long time ago though. Still have an unopend box somewhere here I believe .

That’s great to hear.. I haven’t actually played the sequel yet.. Hmm.

Myeah, I also saw it on Steam. The initial teaser I saw some time ago looked good (not great), but after seeing the full trailer.. I’m not sure about it anymore. Would love to hear your opinion on it.

Announcement on the site itself: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Matt-Smith-to-leave-Doctor-Who I’m sad to see him leave, but I was also sad to see Eccleston and Tennant leave. I personally loves all three of them, but with this track record, I’m sure they’ll find a good replacement. I’m not sure if I have posted this here already, I haven’t posted in a while, but, my wish (and therefore not my speculation), is to have Clara, for some reason, be the new doctor. Ever since I saw her in that first episode, I thought she was great in her interaction with the doctor, and I thought she was a great female counterpart to the doctor. This made me think that having her as a mere companion was a wasted opportunity. But with this news.. I’m beginning to fantasise again! I’d love a female doctor, and I’ve heard they’ve considered that before, so that’s not a problem. Regarding the story, I’m sure they could come up with some sort of explanation. But alas, it’s not going to happen, but I hope we get a good new doctor anyway!

I’d hate to lose Matt Smith so quickly! I want to see him as the doctor for a few more years. But yeah, now I’m very curious about the announcement.. Where will it be announced? The website? Television? General press release?

Which were those mini figures then? Damn, I want them! :p

Can someone tell me what exactly has been announced? I skimmed the video, but I don’t know what they’re saying obviously.. So a Symphonia 1 + 2 pack.. Only for PS3? Nice Namco. Luckily I’ve already got both games. I see very cute prize figures at the end. But what is that box? Is there a new animation coming, or is it a box of all current ones?

You may want to decide quickly then, she is popular, and you want to be early in the front of the queue . Again, she’s slated to come out September, so you have all the time to reconsider, so I’d say just hit that pre-order button. And yeah, I know how it feels, HLJ cancelled my Velvet order from above, which I had pre-ordered months in advance, though apparently, still too late. Luckily I could still get one from Hobby Search, which was the first time I ordered there, but it arrived fine. I’ve ordered plenty from HLJ though, but this was the first time they canceled one of my orders.

It’s a wonder your computer still works then!

My brother showed this to me. It’s.. a “commercial” for a new club in Ibiza. (or the superior [Vimeo version])

Hmm, I want in on this introduction business. Maybe I should post such a thread myself.

I’m kind of expecting that, but on day 2, as per tradition .

Yeah, I won’t be around much in the weekend myself probably. But you have an whole army to get a day 1 no lynch .

How you can screw up pictures of non-moving objects.. :p

See Jonnas, I told you it would work!

Maybe you should start asking an entry fee Jonnas! I mean, you’ll be busy with this for quite some time!

Hmm, I was thinking of getting some good rechargeable batteries (Eneloops) next month, and finally play some Wii games again. That cradle looks like a good alternative. Hmmz.

For fuck’s sake, somebody please kill that cat, stuff it, and turn it [into a plush].

After seeing a Figma Pit thread, I thought I’d bump this one for a general update on Nintendo (and 3rd party) merchandise. The figmas of Samus and Link are getting re-issues. Get them from your favourite store. Personally, I’m not going to bother with Figmas ever again. The Zero suit Samus figure is getting a re-release as well. Thankfully, I’ve got that one already in my possession. For hilarity, compare it to the First 4 Figures figure earlier in the thread. Sexy! Figma Pit and Dark Pit are disappearing from stores quick, get them while you can, or pay double the price on Ebay.. An oldie you’ll have to search for on Ebay, Sylvia Kristel from No more heroes. I never bothered with her, eventhough I loved the game, because she isn’t my favourite No more heroes babe, and I thought the sculpt was terrible. Unfortunately, this is the only no more heroes figure. Momohime from Muramasa: the demon blade, which can be seen in an old post of mine a few posts back, had a re-issue not too long ago. And again she sold out pretty quickly. If you want her (new), you’ll have to be quick. I now own 2.. The first one unfortunately had a painting defect, so I ordered a second one when she was re-released. I’ll probably sell the first one for cheap. But, that’s not the only Muramasa merchandise news. Momohime is getting companionship from Kongiku! Made by the same company, Alter, which is known for its quality (and I’m becoming a fan). Released just a few weeks ago, but also incredibly popular, so you’ll have to scour the internet to find her.. There’s actually a real light in her lamp. I haven’t shipped mine yet. Tharja doing some fan service (ok by me!). She has no release date yet. Don't own a 3DS yet, and therefore don’t own Fire Emblem Awakening yet, but I want this and will pre-order instantly. Animal Crossing Nendoroids! Isabelle is up for pre-order. Release is planned for October. I’m not a huge fan of Animal Crossing, plus I prefer the pretty ladies. But she looks pretty cute. I’m also not a huge fan of Pocket Monsters, and I’m not a fan of poseable action figures. But those D-arts Pokemon look pretty high quality. Charizard is available now, Blastoise and Venusaur are up for pre-order. This is barely Nintendo related, but I just love the Mass Effect ladies. Liara was released some time ago, but Shepard is released recently, and you can still find her in stores. Those Mass Effect figures are done by Kotobukiya, and they’re released under their Bishoujo line. This Bishoujo line has figures from various licenses, including Tekken, Marvel and DC. I own the Catwoman one, and I love to get Christie Monteiro from Tekken. Anyway, they now also have the Street Fighter license, and a Chun-Li figure is coming up! Oh, and this last one is not Nintendo related at all, but I know there are some fans of Vanillaware around here. I’ve personally not played Odin Sphere, but since I love the art in Muramasa, it’s easy to understand I also love the art of that game. Odin Sphere has spawned quite some merchandise, and I was particularly enamored by this figure from Velvet, which has been re-released recently. But again, she flew of the shelves. With some figures, you really have to pre-order in order to get one, and I was quite lucky I didn’t miss it myself. She’s hard to find now. I see one store still selling her, but for a ridiculous price. Anyway, so far my update of mainly Nintendo related merchandise!

Yeah, the Samus figma showed me exactly why I don’t like action figures. I hate joints. Though I love there’s finally more quality Nintendo merchandise coming, I’m not interested in those Figmas at all, no matter how tempting it is to make a stop-motion Smash Brothers animation. They are however, interesting for their collector’s value.. From what I’ve heard, Samus (the Figma as well as the figure by the way) had a ridiculous re-sale price, before the news of their re-issue (which are generally pretty rare, and seems to cater to the US customers who missed out initially). I’d almost buy them for reselling, but I’d feel like a dick, and it’s too much hassle.

Totally inappropriate. His name is not Ned.

You can always try . If you don’t shoot, you always miss. That’s a Dutch saying. @Paj\!

Yes. No. I’m not sure what to do. That said, I think you should contact everyone of the old regulars to see if they’re interested. You mentioned eddie, but didn’t ehh “mention” her. For example. Don’t know if you missed any others.
