Play Asia has the Hobby Japan limited version available for preorder as well, and it’s cheaper there.

I’d prefer people avoid linking to Hobbyfan and similar sites here as such shops actively poke daggers into the eyes of Japanese sculptors, pour hot coals down their underpants and dump razors into the bowls of ramen they can no longer afford because the Triad is stealing their livelihoods. ^^

I’m half kidding – as I’ve said before I understand why people buy from such sites and I agree that they are a necessary evil, but I’d rather not encourage them here (even when they’re selling legitimate PVCs).

No worries taesake, I understand that but for the coming month and heaps of other wanted figurines, I really had to save extra bucks on it. Called me nuts for not getting limited but hey, at least normal edition would sufficed me. Thanks again for the clarification though.

i just gotta have her when i saw the pictures,thanks for the review shingo! shes a must get for me.Personally i will prefer the limited version as the colours are richer and more anime like.

>> cloudkun

considering that 1000yen is needed for dosmestic shipping within Japan,the actual pricing is 6775YEn already,Play-asia is offering a slightly higher price which i think its quite worth.

Yeah, the whole limited edition thing for me was killed off by all the comic covers, spec editions and crap that they put out to milk money outta you.

This is one sweet looking figure. Thanx for the heads up Shingo.

I have a few of the Queens Blade figures and I have not been disappointed by them at all. Well, the newer ones are decidely easier to castoff- LOL.

Jumping on the original purple uniform bandwagon here. This line just keeps getting better and better.

As Shingo has explained, PA has to buy copies of Hobby Japan magazines, cut out the coupons and mail in to get the limited edition items. In other words, PA is doing a ‘proxy’ service in advance. End users like us have to decide whether it’s worth it or to get someone else to do the proxy for us.

Any way, my stand nowadays is that I no longer collect ‘limited’ edition items unless it’s easily available. I’m glad I’m pass my ‘limited covers’ comics collection phase. 8)

Just saw Play-Asia limited edition pre-order is on. However, the price doesn’t please me as after conversion, its like 7000ish yen, where as the original price is like 5775yen. Looks like regular version for me to go.
