I really really really regret not ordering this gorgeous figure of Alice. Searched on all the online stores in Japan - all sold out. The next think to do is to trek around Akihabara ToT. What do you do when you missed out on a gorgeous figure? Do you pay extra at the auctions or travel to other cities to look for it? Original text from super rats below.Got Queen's Gate Alice (nsfw) in yesterday. It's an awesome figure and a lot of fun to take pictures of too.

first thought- right click and save, lol. I would love to get this figure too- when I first saw it it was enough to get me to order and ship it over here to the states. Where did you get it? I am roughly 70 miles out of Philadelphia. Did you order?

I can wait for mime to come. For now I'll be enjoying SuperRats set
(ID #291209) Posted on 2008/09/05 08:57
Hmm, this figure isn't doing it for me. Her face looks kind of wonky.
(ID #291227) Posted on 2008/09/05 09:09
Well, I might wait til the next anime expo...since there's like really good finds at low prices...but if I can't wait I'll go to the local stores when they stock up on it...
(ID #291228) Posted on 2008/09/05 09:09
Are they planning another wave of it in the future? If something I really want is out of stock I'll look all over for it or just wait until it gets re-released, maybe even risk ebay in the rare case.

--What do you do when you missed out on a gorgeous figure?-- I Just Cry XD! Because I Live in South America so It´s Not Easy to Get a PVC Figure in a Good Price, Then I Just Buy in a Few Online Japanese Stores.
(ID #291324) Posted on 2008/09/05 10:22
Yeah.I want her too but i was too late. =(
(ID #291346) Posted on 2008/09/05 10:40
man i forgot to preorder her T____T I'll just roam around every site I know to find one ^^;;;;
(ID #291356) Posted on 2008/09/05 10:46
Usually go the auction route, which is painful to the saifu.
(ID #291391) Posted on 2008/09/05 11:14
Though, sometimes it ends up being less. I just got a Sega Private Ocean clock on Yahoo Japan Auctions that with deputy fees is going to be like $130, as opposed to $179 with shipping on Himeya Shop.
(ID #291396) Posted on 2008/09/05 11:16
Oh, and my Alice ended up not costing so much, $80 shipped from Shopping Mall Japan/YHJ Auctions. It's about $10 over what I would've paid acquiring it from HLJ or Hobby Search.
(ID #291400) Posted on 2008/09/05 11:17
ah i really wish i preordered this... T_T

Epic picture, epic figure. What more can be said?
(ID #291416) Posted on 2008/09/05 11:33
Somehow I get the feeling when Danny says "really regret not ordering" it is really a magic spell to create a SAFS.
(ID #291481) Posted on 2008/09/05 12:26
It's true. My friend begins to order this figure at a high price due to Danny's word. lol

If a figure is really popular, don't they eventually make more of them sorta? Or that's not the case always?
(ID #291603) Posted on 2008/09/05 14:08
You mean like reissue? It depends on the manufacturer..
(ID #291664) Posted on 2008/09/05 15:13
wow.. she IS nicer than I imagined. Kinda having the opposite of "buyer's remorse, now." When I miss a figure, I usually start trolling the auction sites daily to see if a figure is put up for 'buy it now' type of thing. I REALLY despise the bidding war.
(ID #291624) Posted on 2008/09/05 14:22
when i missed out a fig i just seat deown and cry ... nothing else to do ...
(ID #291795) Posted on 2008/09/05 17:31
that pic of Alice on the grass is just awesome! super rats' photography is really creative!
(ID #291871) Posted on 2008/09/05 18:50
May i know this Alice is from which anime or game?
(ID #291908) Posted on 2008/09/05 20:12
anime is yet to come out for it. This is from some paper rpg far as I know.

great photoshot! maybe i start to take some photos of my figures!
(ID #292077) Posted on 2008/09/05 23:54
I pre ordered her at e2046.. Hope it all goes smooth.
(ID #292229) Posted on 2008/09/06 01:57
that a nice angle on the figure. well, for me if there is a figure that i really want i would try the auctions normally at a higher price T.T since the local shops will most likely have the figure sold out.

OH F***~! even the world beautiful wont suffice to describe such figure. DO WANT~!!!!
(ID #292332) Posted on 2008/09/06 04:03
Mine is in the mail =) Glad i preordered her, even if i was a bit late.
(ID #292432) Posted on 2008/09/06 06:14
Just put in a pre-order for her. :) Now I wait.
(ID #292478) Posted on 2008/09/06 07:38
Mine was shipped today, and Melona too!!
(ID #292539) Posted on 2008/09/06 09:37
I'm really looking forward to Alice. I'll enjoy putting her next to her boost version when it's released and pretend it's Maya Natsume.
(ID #292591) Posted on 2008/09/06 10:50
I try not to buy from ebay or similar sites, you never know if they are pirated versions. I also try not to open too many accounts in different websites, for the sole purpose of preventing myself to over-spend ^^U I am fortunate enough to live in LA near J-Town. I go to Anime Jungle and try my luck with their merchandise. I have found some stuff at reasonable prices (and some not so reasonable) that I can't find online anymore. For example I found danbooru, the carboard robot from Yotsuba for 23 bucks.

e2046 is re-opening orders for a short time: http://www.e2046.com/product_info.php?products_id=7944&language=en I hope you'll find her eventually. :)
(ID #293129) Posted on 2008/09/06 23:08
Ouch~~~ I found out today my preorder didnt came with a shipment :(
(ID #293243) Posted on 2008/09/07 02:16
Pay extra on ebay or wait for re-release.
(ID #294078) Posted on 2008/09/08 00:52
I really feel your pain, wanted to wait till my budget get more relief before ordering her and now I can't anymore. orz I go to anime convention and hope that one of the dealer in the dealer room will have the figure.
(ID #295580) Posted on 2008/09/09 14:17

(ID #296375) Posted on 2008/09/10 09:45
Danny + anyone else interested, if you still want to get this figure there is a second batch on pre-order due November you can order from (http://www.hobbyfan.com + http://www.toyslogic.com) not sure if this is much help but hope so! best of luck this is a quality figure i have been talking about for ages ;)
