As of midnight tonight, November 27th, the fourth volume of Goodsmile / Red Entertainment‘s collaborative multimedia figure series Shuraki is now up for preorder! Volume 4 features the Yamashita Shunya-designed Needa as voiced by Chiba Saeko and embodied in a sculpt from Hagii Shunshi of Studio Saru Bunshitsu, and is likely to invoke a similar rush to preorder as her earlier peers Mishiro, Meifeng, and Shall, so haste is advised for those interested in picking her up. Good luck to all combatants as we enter the fray! (no more)
Hmm, not seeing any movement here in the wee hours… guess I’ll go to bed and see how things look in the morning.
00:13 Update: woot! got in my preorder at Moe Soul… just under the wire too, it seems.
I’m not seeing my usual places with preorder options yet. Hmm.
Same to me here.I know the moment we turn our backs the preorders would be closed.
still havent seen it updated in Hobby Search, Hobby Stock and etc…
waiting now … ..
I am going to stay put infront of my PC whole day, lol.
Mmm, still not up at Hobby Search.
And 8 hours later… still nothing. Hmmmmm. o_O;
It seems fewer of the shops are going gung-ho with the midnight preorders this time around, but as the business day begins today (it’s 8:16 AM in Japan right now) I’m guessing the shops should start putting her up pretty quickly.
WHEW! Got mine in at Hobby Search. And after I put my order in, they took it down. I think they had it up for about… 3 minutes. >_>;
>>Rephin
Are you kidding me? I was trying to refresh and couldn’t see anything >.>
Hey! I have been refreshing the hobbysearch page during an hour and missed it!
I can’t believe my luck.
Oh god… is there anything left? Any table scraps for the fool who showed up late to the party? *sigh*
MAN, they didn’t have to take the entire thing down too!
Like I said, it was REALLY fast. 3 minutes, tops. I really lucked out, and I have the E-mail to prove it, too. o_o;
I hope I get some luck at HLJ.
Needa is now up at Hobby Stock if you’re fast on the proxy trigger.
Edit: Amiami has her as well!
I can’t seem to find her anywhere. This really bums me out.
Crap I’ve been refreshing kidnemo for 4 hours straight. Then after my last refresh shes already sold out, it literally took less than a minute.
PRE-ORDER UP AT HOBBY SEARCH!
FINALLY! Got her on Hobby Search, I knew they will relist it back up…. just like when I order Shar vol.3, at first, the reservation slot was closed…immediately after I refresh, never thought they open it up, and gone after like a min or so! Woot! Mission Accomplished under 8 hours refreshing! <3 HS :D
Woot! Got her at Hobby Search!
Just got one pre-ordered on Hobby Search. Since they’ll only let you order one, and I want one for “proper” display purposes, I’ll order another one at an HD affiliate.
For anyone else who might not have gotten a pre-order in, HLJ should have their pre-order page up at some point in time, so be sure to check them often. It’ll be in their “Early Bird Specials” section. If you miss the Early Bird, then they’ll have a regular pre-order in about a month.
This situation happened to me concerning Cattleya, so knowing that HLJ would have it, I didn’t freak out…too much. :)
YES YES YES! Thank you, Hobby Search and thank you, Overlord. As soon as I read the comment, I went to the website, hit buy, smashed in my credit card number, all in under 30 seconds.
whew!
Reserve is still up on hobbysearch
Got mine preordered via HS, tis all good :)
Also reserved via Hobby Search, thank gawd for that, thought I might miss out due to time zones and such, I just woke up and went looking straight away.
Still not at HLJ or Play-Asia.
I doubt that #4 and #5 are going to be as hard to get as the first three were to preorder. Considering that they’re putting out reissues of #1, #2 and possibly #3, I’d say that rushing for the limited numbers is possibly over. HobbyStock’s even allowed up to 3 units per customer, as opposed to the limit of 1 for really limited stuff.
It’s good that there isn’t a problem with preordering this time, because going for volumes 1, 2, and especially 3 (for me at least) were particularly grating. At least there’s plenty to go around this time. Hobby Search still has their preorders up.
Yeah tbh, I just got back from outing and seems the pre-order is still up at HS, looks like GSC learnt from the past experiences and ramp up the productions, good to hear that.
Good to hear about the ramp up for no.4 and the re-releases for 1 and 2.
Still, I guess I’ll only be getting no.4 because it’s a castoffable Shunya. Not really seriously into Shuraki (or Ikkitosen or Tenge). So, I’ll just pick on specific figures that I like. Lucky for me and my wallet. 8D
My friend secured two pre-orders for Needa in one of the online shops that opened the pre-order early for Needa…Downside, the price was around 8,000yen each, this morning, we saw the pre-order from amiami and the price was around 6,400 yen…Ugh! @_@
Yep,the preorder at Hobby Search is still open.
It seems they are going for real mass production this time (hope this does’nt low the superb quality of the series)
Ack! My statement is redundant, sheesh, must’ve been too tired from work… ^_^;;
Finally, pre-order on HS stopped…hmm, took a day to get the pre-order filled, eh?
