Liu Meifeng, the second installment in Goodsmile / Red Entertainment‘s Shuraki series of media mix figures, will be made available for preorder starting at 00:00 on July 20th (Tokyo standard time) according to the series’ official site. Meifeng was designed by Kiba Satoshi, sculpted by Kawara Takayuki (Amiami search) and is voiced by Iizuka Mayumi on the accompanying drama CD; while the hype for her release hasn’t reached the fever pitch that accompanied Mishiro Akatsuki‘s preorder blitz a month ago, odds are good that Meifeng will sell out in preorder relatively quickly so those interested should be on their toes. A list of participating vendors can be found here, including HLJ and Hobby Search. (no more)
This time I’m making sure I get it preordered XD
How do you count “midnight”? Is it the midnight between 20th and 21st, or the one between 19th and 20th?
Should be between july 19-20th if I’m not mistaken.
Indeed, it’s the one between the 19th and 20th (hour “00:00” of the 20th or “24:00” of the 19th). That said, despite staying up past my bedtime last night it seems not a single shop actually put the darn thing up when they could have. =_=;;
Can’t find the figure on HLJ or HobbySearch ^^;
Yeah, it doesn’t appear to be up anywhere yet. I guess stores weren’t in quite the same rush this time around. :/
Ugh… it’s going up on Japanese sites now, but amazingly it’s selling out even faster than the first one. I haven’t been able to snipe one yet and I’ve been on them within a minute or two of the listings… this could get ugly. ;_;
It’s a wonder why Hobby Search doesn’t have her listed yet. Kid Nemo has orders open and Toys Logic says orders will open soon..
Arrgh. It’s out of stock at most of the stores that do shipping internationally ;__;
i been checking out hobbysearch since morning, still nothing. Nothing on HLJ as well i think
HLJ will never put it up in time – they’re getting way too tardy these days imho…
Oh, news is that Hobby Search have it ready for preorder – onmly they won’t accept my card! It’s all I have to use, and they won’t acceot it! ;_;
Yeah HobbySearch doesn’t accept my card either. I have to wait for HLJ or order her elsewhere especially since she’s already sold out at HobbySearch too lol.
I haven’t had any luck yet either… I can’t believe this, I’ve never seen a rush quite like this for anything.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Hobby Stock you glorious bastard, I think you just pulled through for me yet again. I won’t believe it until I see the darn thing sitting in front of me, though…
yes i manage to reserve mine at Hobby Search, it sold out like less than 15 minutes after my order go through i think
It’s was really fast on hobby stock and hobby search, but really slow on amiami…
reservation opened 8 hours ago and it stopped just now.
>>Yhamm
Actually Amiami sold out within minutes as well – for each of the three waves they put up on the site (one shortly after noon, and two in the evening). I missed each wave by just a few minutes… ;_;
oh, ok :s
mmm…still not convinced about the figure. Beaufiful for sure but doesn’t have that umpf X-factor. Still..anyone looking for one, check here: http://www.locushk.com/. No guarantees from me though ;)
Missed the preorder with Hobby Search ;_;
Went with Kidnemo instead, as I eventually had to with Akatsuki Mishiro, so here’s hoping they pull through!
on HLJ right now :)
I am not that impressed by the figure…It IS beautiful my misses the X-factor. http://www.locushk.com/ still has it open as a pre-order. I ordered the first trinity-box there…hope they deliver. Have to see. Good luck everybody :)
Just got it preordered in HLJ.
Damn…just missed it on HLJ.
i really believe that the figure sales and rush is alllllll driven by hype.
people saw the first one sell out, so people feel obligated to get the second sometimes before they sell out.
lol
toys are too crazy
I just ordered at kidnemo
hope it will come? I always order at hobby search so I don’t know much about others.
You know something is wrong when you go to HLJ and the front page says the figure is up for order but the individual page says not…
Also, one official vendor has been listed as Kotobukiya but I can’t find them on the site at all! DO they not do preorders?
Oh wow, I got owned. I saw it on HLJ when it was still up for preorder but went out to get some food. When I came back, it was gone. Haha, I suck. I guess I wasn’t aware of how much hype there is for these. Gah! >:D
Oh well, I missed out entirely, but I got in finally on the other stuff HLJ was slow in putting up (Max’s Shana etc), so I can be glad of something at least! ^_^
The 3rd one in Shuraki sieries has finally show up.
I missed the 2nd(not actually because the website that I pre-ordered is still not certain.)but I must get the 3rd one!
