Recent Purchases March 2021 Edition
New month, new thread. Show'em if you got'em
|
|
Even though it was at the end of Feburary I will mention it here. Got the Re:Rising Gundam set with the Mercone Armor. Sadly they didn't have the weapon set for it. Kinda regreting not getting the Veetwo weapon set to use on the Mercone. Love the Wodom Pod.
|
First haul of the month is something that shipped out at the beginning of last month:

Figma Lucina!! The pre-orders for her re-issue went up with like no forewarning last year while I was on break at work and I used the entire rest of that break to get in my pre-order on work wi-fi lol. Worth it!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwFQlaEW...jpg&name=large Got a sealed Wizard effect set to use in photos with Seihou Wizard and a second-hand Kyoryu Gold from Amiami. Gold's box is extremely beat up but for a figure listed as B quality it's pretty much flawless outside of a barely noticeable blemish right below his right knee. Kyoryuger's one of my favorite sentai series so finally finishing the set's a great feeling. Also got in DT Blue from Amazon once I saw his price dipped to $20 from $25. Very nice piece, love the Tricera Bunker. |

Ok, full disclosure? Even I think this is a bit much
Not pictured, but came at the same time: DX Assault Trigger & BCS Build HawkGattling. Anyone else look at your hauls and feel like you should feel a sense of monetary regret but just... don't? |

But in all seriousness, you must've had a lot of money. |

Truly random Grimlock sword! Was this a random junk lot?

The Gokaiger stuff I was really wanting for a while -- the Gokai Gun was on a whim when it was offered to me for a tenner, but the Mobirate and OOO keys? Woo boy. GRAILS for the longest time! Triggerhappy and Swoop were also some of the few Transformers in recent years I was interested in |

I guess after a while of getting the main big stuff you want, small impulse buys could be fun again. |
Quote:
You can end up with a lot of stuff you don't want, for sure... but I plan ahead for most purchases, and if I decide I don't want something; there's always someone out there who'll want it and I can sell it to them for a cheap price :) |
I lean towards the smaller stuff. Having limited room is definitely a part of why.
Also smaller things don't necessarily mean cheap or impulse! Some of my most valuable collection items are small things. Also they re-sell easier because of shipping. A while ago I sold off a lot of DX belts and the cost of shipping really made it hard to let some of those things go. If I could have sold them locally for no shipping, that would have been ideal. |
Looks like I haven't posted any acquisitions since the end of January.
Here are some highlights since then. Let's start with the ones most subject-appropriate for this site, SHF Kamen Rider. We got Ankh Human, OOO TaJaDor, Kuuga Dragon and Kuuga Pegasus! https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-02/shf-ankh.jpg https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-03/shf-tajador.jpg https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...on-pegasus.jpg Gundam Universe Unicorn and Wing Gundams GI Joe Classified Gung Ho MAFEX Endgame Iron https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...ron-spider.jpgSpider Star Wars Black Archive Hoth Han Archive Hoth Luke Archive Grand Admiral Thrawn Rebels Ezra Rebels Ahsoka Camino Clone Troopers ESB 40th Boba ESB 40th Lando GS Imperial Jumptrooper GS Purge Stormtrooper Sith Trooper Also some of the Walmart Exclusives popped up on their site again so I was able to get the Mandalorian Loyalist and Ahsoka's Clone Trooper https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...o-loyalist.jpg https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...oka-clones.jpg Spawn Kickstarter Classic and Modern versions https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...ks-classic.jpg https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...-ks-modern.jpg And of course, some Mezco One 12 Collective Aquaman https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-03/mz-aquaman.jpg Two-Face https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-03/mz-two-face.jpg Golden Skulls Ninja https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...den-skulls.jpg and Hazard Squad Commander Gomez https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-...zard-gomez.jpg Star Wars books https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-02/sw-ot.jpg https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-02/sw-tlj.jpg https://ryanlb.com/images/misc/2021-02/sw-ro.jpg |
Nice!! I got my Tajador very recently and he's already one of my favourite figures ever. Hope you enjoy!
|
Hopefully I get around to opening that one faster than TaToBa. That thing sat on my desk at work for a year before I got around to opening it.

Got my first P-Bandai So-Do stuff with help from Deepsea, along with some retail. Especially excited to sticker Daguva, it's a gorgeous looking figure

So here's what I've gotten so far in March. Just got into Kamen Rider in January and now have the Seiken Sworddriver with a bunch of WRBs (including the Alter Ride Book set), the Zero-One Driver with some Progrise Keys, A Ziku Driver with a handful of Ridewatches and now these two. Got the Ixa first and then the Garren, hoping to get the Delta set soon and maybe the Sengoku Driver and some lockseeds...

I got the new Epica album Omega, Collector's Edition 4 CD set. The discs come in a nice, large, 12 x 12 hard cover book with all the liner notes and photos. It's great.

I could have had the opportunity to see them live on their previous album tour, and I didn't go, because it would have entailed a 2-3 drive from Champagne where we were visiting my brother, to Chicago, and then a return drive, and I would have had to go by myself. But I've kinda regretted it ever since. If they were to perform anywhere close to UT, I'd be highly tempted to take my daughter and go see them. |

Just got this in the mail, courtesy of Sentai King:
https://i.imgur.com/ZMcfAq9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/71c9NNT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hNicogJ.jpg Story time: When I was studying in Japan, I went to Jungle in Osaka's Den Den Town (for those unfamiliar, it's like a smaller Akihabara in Osaka) and saw this guy for 1700 yen (about $16) and almost picked it up, but I couldn't decide between it and a few other figures. We didn't have much time though, and everybody said we would come back again on another day when there was more time, so I set it back with the intent to look more thoroughly when we return. I have no idea why I didn't just get it right then and there, because I knew I wanted it, but I digress. We never had another chance to go back, and I ended up leaving Japan without the figure. Shame. So when I got back to the US, I started looking online for the figure and it was around $40! I stubbornly refused to pay that much for it because I had the opportunity to get it for less than half, but over time the price kept rising. I saw Sentai King had it for $40, so I figured I should grab it before it becomes prohibitively expensive. I've been tossing around the idea of taking photos of my figures for Instagram, so I thought I'd give it a shot with this. I definitely have room to improve, but I think it's a pretty good start. |

I've had worse starts to months! -Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition Omnibus (I don't usually post comics stuff, but the fact that this book exists is ridiculous. It's a collection of encyclopedia entries for Marvel characters circa the late 1980s. Some of these characters have had an additional thirty years of adventures! This is like buying a DVD box set of the nightly news from decades ago. It's absurd. But! It's, in a lot of ways, Ground Zero for my superhero fandom, so I needed to get it when it was announced. Excited to be reminded that 85% of villain entries conclude with Was Killed By Scourge At The Bar With No Name.) -R.E.D. Transformers Prime Arcee (GARBAGE FIGURE. This is like the monkey's paw version of asking for a more show-accurate Arcee toy. Besides accuracy, it is worse in every possible way. Worse stability, worse poseability, worse plastic, worse paintwork, etc etc etc. Oh, and the show-accuracy doesn't extend to scale, so she looks drastically out of place next to any other Prime cast member. This figure is a cursed idol, and I'm sorry you had to see it. Arcee deserved, and deserves, better.) -SH Figuarts Masked Rider Chalice (Pretty great older figure! Looks sharp as a tack, and I think his Older Figuarts lankier proportions match my minds-eye for Kamen Rider Heartbreaker.) -SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave Lvl 2 (The last of the core Ex-Aid guys I needed to pick up! I was never that crazy about the base Brave suit - that baby blue, ehh - but he's a nice looking figure in-hand. Happy to have him.) -Shinkocchou Seihou Masked Rider Agito Ground Form (The big figure purchase for the month. Gorgeous. Light on details, but what's here totally pops. The gold!) -Transformers Kingdom Inferno (I liked the Grapple figure, and this is basically just that figure in red. Intuitive transformation, great looks, a very fun toy to mess around with.) -Transformers Kingdom Huffer (Not too bad! Like some of the other upsized mini-bots, there're parts of his transformation that smack of Unnecessarily Complex, but you sort of get used to it. First transformation is a little frustrating, the future ones are more fun.) -A device that is taking an entire evening to transfer data from my PS4 (Only played a few minutes of Astro's Playroom, which is okay! Might get to play Miles Morales or Avengers in another few days after all the copying and downloading finishes! Hooray for the fun of a brand-new console! I crab, but I'm lucky to be able to have finally gotten one off of GameStop, and I don't want to sound ungrateful. I'm psyched to play some games!) |

So I dodged a bullet by not being able to hunt her down. |
Yesss Chalice!! I’ve been considering picking him up at some point (because my love for Blade continues to grow), and it’s amazing how good he looks for being so cheap and old. Though, he DID come out at the same time as the Gaim SHFs...
