Funny story...not really. I ordered a resin model kit, two months later I ordered another fig on a special and then a week after that another one on special. I got the last order first, the second one second, and the first one is stuck in limbo, from November already. The Postal Service has been entirely unhelpful and useless in finding out what happened to it. They said the container arrived but the parcels inside it are AWOL. I've asked the supplier to fill out an Inquiry form, and now I have to wait another 2-3 months and see if any more lack of progress is due... Fan-{Censored]-tastic. I have never had any delivery problems before, this bad anyway, although I shouldn't be surprised since it was sent during the strike period. I still have figures that have to come my way, and with an imminent strike due sometime, not sure about what's gonna happen there. As to your other question, I don't allow any kids in my room...period. That goes for sensitive grown-ups too.

I stopped using the postal service for these types of deliveries ages ago. The cost of courier services more than compensates for the SAPO unreliability.

Sometimes there is absolutely no choice but to use SAPO, most Japanese sites use EMS for the faster courier choice.
But, EMS is owned by our post office in SA.

Also, there will be no courier choice if you're sending to a PO box

Picked up this Harley Porcelain statue and a Batman Arkham City plastic statue today. Both really cool, but the Harley is my favourite of the two.

Got my Fact Files Deadpool Special. Its a lot bigger then I thought it would be. Probably why its so damn expensive.
For size comparison, the small Deadpool on the right is from the normal Marvel collection. Galactus Special, from the normal Marvel collection in the middle. & than the Fact Files Deadpool Special on the left.
Its a lot lighter than the others, I think its plastic. Compared to the lead of the others.
Saw the Hulk Fact Files Special hands on, DAMN its big!! Gana get me one of those as well!!!

I managed to get all of the Little Busters


And I also grabbed Sora as well

how's the quality of the deadpool buddy could you maybe post some close up pics of him and would you say it's worth the price?

@CRAVINHO Like I said, its not lead like the previous collections, more plastic. The quality is not THAT great, but still nice.
Is it worth the price, not really. They go for around R480/R580. R380 would have been a better price.
That Kotobukiya Deadpool ARTFX statue is much nicer & better quality, but they go for around R1100.
Its up to you on how much you want to spend.

Finally got this added to my collection today, I love that the stand is magnetized.

Had a good FCBD picked these up for my shelves and because the Death statue has a slight scratch that you cannot even see, I got it for 33% off!




Sandman is the Daniel Sandman not the original Sandman and the HQ statue is apparently her Suicide Squad costume. If I am brutally honest that costume is slightly over sexualised, but I still dig it.

It's so awesome

Some pretties, and dude, who doth not protest at all hath arrived upon my doorstep this day






My third box is yet to arrive, but I expect it soon-ish. Much goodness this does for my withered soul.

Finaly found my Kotobukiya Predator pre owned!
I found the Alien pre owned a few years ago, been looking for the Predator ever since! Makes a nice set!



Also got my Marvel Fact Files Hulk Special. Almost twice the size of Deadpool, love it!!!

I own a couple of Koto statues and cannot for the life of me figure out why they are snap together models. Is it something to do with classification and thus taxes or simply because that's how Koto does things.

No idea?
May be they were just trying something different, to set them apart?
I don't think they do them anymore though. Their latest statues have been one sold piece.

The bigger ones are snap together. I bought the Master Chief that was bundled with MCC in the CE and that is a snap together. I also bought the little Rocket and Groot bust this weekend and that too is a snap together.

Another two from my 4 box arrivals. Only one box left.

The last box of my current shipment, and it has to be said that I was quite impressed with this lady. The shower is quite detailed and the bath is a solid 4kg. Makes me sad I didn't buy the limited edition version of one of my other figures that also came with a tub - I could've had a bath party. I only wish there was a little more colour and detail on the display side of things. Oh well, she's pretty, I'm happy, so it's all good.

Deadpool Kotobukiya statue.
Its those ones that clip together.
The base is metal, with magnets under Deadpools feet.
Comes with an extra sword & hand.



Gave up hope of every finding one of these!!

Every time I saw this, I kept passing on it.
Finally got it, was worth the wait. Very good price



& my bro got THIS
AWESOME price as well!!!

my new koto maul statue
