Retired Figures

I don't have that many figures so none of them are unwanted. >.<

Ooooooo- I want one! lol.
I keep all of mine- I don't have too many.

I'm suddenly reminded of *cough*fatB*cough* randomly asking for your figures LOL!

Don't have enough figures to have any unwanted! Maybe one day... Let's hope this day never comes!

This calls for another giveaway? If you decide to, make it a hard one =]

I don't have all that many figures, but I love every single one of them.

unwanted figures?... hahaha very funny LOL

Hmm, I don't have enough figures to have unwanted figures, either! I do have a lot of gashapon and blind box figures that I'm considering in stashing away or something. Not too sure what to do with those... *_*

dibs on the konata, mikuru and lisianthus(maybe?) in case you do decide to give them away, Danny.

they will be well taken care of and they will have a good home here of that you can be sure

Wow that's a lot of unwanted 'nice' figure you got there....

I do not have such a big collection to begin with. ^^

OMG DANNY, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO THROW AWAY THAT HARUHI-KONATA. IT'S AWESOMEEE.

Unwanted figures? What that?

Seriously though, since a large number of my figures are hard to find these days (Ignis the white & red, Alter Exelica & KOSMOS, Shuraki series, etc) I think I can get a decent price for them. Or I could sell some of me resin kits and probably make a killing, but I wouldn't part with any of those.
I'm just not the kind of guy to get rid of stuff. I even have my old SNES and Megadrive, still in working order too!

I could never unwant a figure. You should give the Konata one to me. lol.

I try to get rid of, even if I have to give them as gifts is just annoying having something you don't like in your room and also more space for new ones ^^;

I don't mind to get some of those XD the way I see it you could make easier contests so people non skilled with this sort of stuff like me can get freebies once in life ^^

I have a Kouran figurine I don't display in my room. Why? It can't stay upright. I may want to give it away. I don't have the box or the omake with it sadly.

I also have a Nakoruru figurine. Unfortunately, her bow fell off. (I hope I can find that bow.) Oh and she can stay up a bit better than Kouran, but she is still wobbly. Can't find the box either.

Oh. I may give them away if any of you people don't have a good Christmas. Anyone interested?

Unfortunately I'm an impulsive buyer and have quite alot I don't want, but I sell them on ebay. Impulsive buying when money is tight as well > >....

louise, mikuru, lala, konata... sonsaku hakufu also i think. o boy thats some really good stuff to give away. i wouldn't throw away my figures. i'm like a pirate. guarding them forever.
will have to throw away the boxes now since they have started piling up. room looks like a warehouse x_x

I just keep em stashed in their original boxes. Space-gobbling though orz

Uuuu.... poor Yurika...

I keep all of my figures. None of them are unwanted.

I don't have unwanted figures... well, no I don't have any. I just have a couple that annoy me a bit but nothing I'd want to throw out yet. At least it looks like some people can be happy finding cheap figures at the flea market for xmas ^^

XD can i have them? XD
if you have unwanted ones remember that i can help you whit the you gething rid of them me gething them part. XD

looks like I'm not the only one who gasped at the thought of an unwanted mikuru and konata

I like all my figures, even the old lower quality ones from the 90s ^^

Wait a sec... isn't that Konata a limited release one? The one that comes with the LE PS2 game? Nooo! Don't flea market that one!

But...but...but... you can't get rid of Pec Champo/Baek Changpo!! Or Mikuru!! Or Honami!! And Winchan!!! :sob:.....
I have no unwanted figures... but I haven't been collecting as long as you Danny-san, haven't accumulated so many yet.

Aya Natsume and Win chan! nooooo. ^^;
about unwanted figures, my wife ebays them off to find new figure loving foster owners. ^^
btw are there a lot of flea market in Tokyo? you should probably do a post on that, I know some folks search the net for info on those. I'd often just refer them to togo shrine: http://www.marvinryan.com/blog/2007/11/11/day-7-togo-shrine-flea-market/

I would love to get that Alter Megu there, can't seem to find her.

My collection is not that large so don't really have any unwanted figures, if there's any that I don't fell like collecting anymore I'll just sell the figure off.

We normal people who don't get SAFS din't have any unwanted figures!

Can't believe you're chucking Konata and Mikuru... O.o

I only have 3Figure =) they are always wanted.. i cant really see myself to get to a point were i will have unwanted figure... XD

Unwanted figures? Blasphemy! I consider all of my figures precious and will never think of throwing them away. Even if I have a lot, I will always make room to display them all.

WHAT? Your retiring Figma Konata Limited edition???? I would buy that from you before you take it to the flea market and sell it.

I have about 5 figures retired and ready to give away or sell. One is unknown and i wanna get rid of my Clayz He Is My Master figures, all 3 of them; Mitsuki, Izumi & Anna & my To Heart 2 AD Chie Yoshioka by Kotobukiya.

Hard to hate a figure when you have a few of them and agonizingly debated over getting each one. :P

Still, I was wondering what you would do eventually - what with all the leftover stuff that you don't display and the SAFS that come through your door.

omg T_T i just got 5 figures! to hard to get it here, and u are going to sell it sniff!

I do have some unwanted figures but not alot. Most of them are gashapons that I brought when I started collecting figure, but now that I look at it the quality is pretty bad which is why I toss them aside.

For any of you with unwanted figures, please feel free to contact Tenrou's Figure Retirement Home...we guarantee to keep your figures comfortable well into their Golden Years... ^^;

i really wanted that aya figure but never found it

pitty them T_T

You can give all of your unwanted figure to me, Danny XD

I would really like some of your retired figures too!!!!

Usually, I only buy figure of characters I'm very fond of. I'll have the occasional impulsive buy, but that would only happened if I really liked the style of the figure. So for the most part, I don't have that many figures I get rid of. Gunpla however, is another matter... I love building them and my room usually ends up being filled quickly with sprues and boxes. At which point I have to start throwing out boxes and such. Even for those, it's hard for me to do. I just love the artwork on them... ^^;

What a tragic destiny for an Alter´s Meg :__: I had a hard time to find mine and treasure it a lot !

It's a sad day when figures get retired from one's collection. It's even much more when a Figma Konata is marked as unwanted. I receive my Wonderfest Konata last week. I don't think I will ever let her go. Looking into her face places a smile on my face.

Yes, I did take her out of her box, but she is held in a small plastic display case.

I would have hoped you kept the box, and then sign it.

erm i believe im seeing that limited edition Konata in haruhi uniform from last year's WonFes >_< ur selling that off?!

hiya danny, i've been lurking here for a while but as i saw this post, i HAD to comment....
i would pay money for your Konata in haruhi cosplay figma and Louise from Zero no Tsukaima.

that konata figma is the only one i'm missing from the figma set (i'm getting the shana figma as soon as its released i've got it on pre order)

-- Rukia

I concur~ Konata getting retired~? I don't even have that yet xD
It's like an airline company retiring an Airbus A320~ anyways personal preferences~ =)

As for me, the only unwanted figures i have are the Konami Haruhi and the Metamo Tsuruya~ If i have funds, i'll replace them with better Figures versions~

My retired figures were either too old or had went to storage in favour of the newer ones. Space is a concern in my room~ Even though my collection is small, I already had a figurine "boneyard"~ :) Boneyard as in storage and restoration place. I had kept them in boxes~~

THE SOS BRIGADE KONATA IS RETIRING!? NO!! SEND THAT TO ONE OF THE READERS!!!!

a box directly to colombia??? :P

poor me, i dont have any figures.... ToT

Not the cute louise that can sit on a monitor!! Its so adorable, i could only find one for 100$ so gave up up searching. You must preserve her so she again sit on another monitor ^_^.

To me it seems crazy getting rid of some of those, but you have some many i'm sure your perspective is quite different.

I haven't run into any unwanted figures and I hope that doesn't happen. xD

I love all my figures. it's really heart breaking to give one away since I love all of them, not unless you got doubles.

AH!!! The Kona-chan cosplay!!! MY FAVORITE FIGMA!!! KONA-CHAN~~~~!!! T_T

Aww. Bye bye friends. heh

i've got a few unwanted figures, mostly gashapons i bought when i first started collecting figures. but the majority of my collection i love. I'd be glad to take a e of those lovely ladies off you're hands, i'm not against Pre-loved figures

NOOOO!!!!!
Not Konata!!!!!!
I would love to get a Konata in a flee market or a figure for that matters...
So cool!!!!!!!
Danny, Ebay your retired stuff!!!!!!!
I bet people will buy it!!!!!!
I would!!!!!!

Ahhh so many...even if I had a load of figures...I don't think I'd get rid of much. ::tries to grab the figures...*scratch* there goes my LCD monitor...::

new to this, no unwanted figures yet...

Seeing those figures like that make me sick, lol. Probably cuz I own few and wish for more.

Baek Changpo too? Nooo, give her to me D:
I'm sure the otaku who adopts your Wonfes exclusive Konata will be very happy indeed.

You can send them to my place! :D

i end up giving away my retired figures and/or anime merchandise to friends. If you want, I can give that Louise figure a nice house.

usually iget unwanted figures fro m candy box or gashapon!

I don't have any unwanted figures... since I don't have ANY in the first place>.<
All I have is one small Strike Freedom and some Haruhi gachapons.
Don't throw them... figureless people the world over will start leaking tears:(

Recently started collecting them, so I don't have that many; so no unwanted figures.

Oh lord, so many good figures being retired.... I don't want to spoil Mrs. Choo fun, so I won't ask for them... but I really really wish I could be in that flea market to buy all of them. T_T

How about an online flea market? XD

Aw! May they rest in peace

I would love to purchase some of them, Like Louise T_T I love her and have been searching for her forever!

I only have a handful of figures..

I won't be throwing any since for me it's a part of how i grew up.
^^
If i could create a very big collection then i'd really wish i could create a museum for it.
XD

I got some old Gunpla from my early years :3 I have yet to let go of them, so they stay in boxes up on top of my bookshelfs ^^I

waw, that's your unwanted figures?

there's a couple that I really like like that figma wsc Konata and that blue mine

If you ever do want to sell the figurines, Danny-sama, how much would you sell them for and would you put them on eBay? Another idea is that you can use the figurine sales for fundraisers for Japanese charities of your choice.

poor mikuru. but very nice of your wife to sell those instead of sending to us readers since readers get 1st-hand goods from sponsors. if only i was any good at winning the competitions... >_<

Konata?! Noooooo!

I can has Yurika? <3 D:

Win-chan T_T xD

Wonfes Konata going away? Kagami'll be lonely...

Why not hold a contest for her future residence?

I Want Louis^^

Danny, i really don't mind if you give away "old" or "unwanted" figures to me.. xDD

Seriously, why you don't put them on ebay? Or some kind of auction to the community? (who reads DC). I think that a lot of people (seen in all this comments) will be more than happy to receive figures used/without boxes. Zero no tsukaima, nadesico, creator's labo, lucky star, etc.. such a nice figures, deserve a nice home.. ;D

Only have a few, like 1 nendoroid and 2 SD Gundams xD;; would love a figma or more to add to my slowly growing collection :3

My collection is too small to have unwanted figures ^^;

I really want win-chan ^^; I don't have any unwanted figures in my collection, my collection is to small.

I see a DCSS Kotori!!!!!

There are some figures I want in that pile... I'll be happy to buy them from you... you're kinda torturing me by showing this to me... I wish I even owned at least one 1/8 scale figure... o . o

I only have several figures due to being very picky as to what I want to spend on. I only really go after Limited Editions or very popular retired figures, so none of them are unwanted.

aww poor figus..

i fancy that konata

I keep All of the Girls in my Harem... I mean Display case :P Though some I like more than others but all in all I like them all

I can't say that I ever fully "retire" figures. I tend to keep the boxes, so some stay on permanent display whilst the ones I'm less fond of go on rotation. Currently in the process of putting away the winter collection (leaners) and bringing out the summer (non-leaners).

Flea markets are always fun. Often full of a lot of junk, but there are some great bits and pieces to be found.

Soooo.... about that Yurika figure... =P

oh man, how fun is that. haggling for an anime figure that is probably more than 50% off already? yowzaaa lucky peeps.

I use to live in Canada, whereas I now live in HK, and am beginning to think it's also a location/space thing... Doesn't really help that it's a lot easier to get figs here than back in Canada either... I've probably got 2-3 drawers filled with either nendroids(mostly in their boxes, as I worry I'll scratch them up~), and figures whom's display space I'm looking to vacate so I can get new figs...

Given DC's note about giving them away, and my own scenario with figs... Maybe I should try setting a give-away of my own? lol

Konata has retired ;_;
I plan my figure (and other goods) purchases carefully, so I don't really grow tired of them >.<
In fact, I wish I had more time to play with them ^-^

I wish I had unwanted figures, then it might make less clutter ^^;

You really should try to set up some sort of auction system Danny, because it looks like many readers here want to buy your unwanted figures. xD I know I would pay for quite a few of them.

I'd try to sell them, but since I don't keep my boxes either I don't know who would be willing to buy them at half price.

Izumi-chan! ;P

if you dont' mind danny i'd like to take the figma of konata :p
i've got to unwanted figures and i'm thinking of selling them

unwanted........UNWANTED!!!!! WTF!?!?

I am not a rich person and getting figures in South Africa is a PAIN in the ass.... so ANY figures I can get I keep...Even if they broken in some way, I FIND a way to repair them.

had one thats waist joint snapped...just superglued it back together, and he can still twist there :P

Got any broken figs or unwanted....want my adress???
if you are a kind soul and want to donate...drop me a email (snake3y3s@gmail.com)

.......................Awaiting Danny's deletion of the shameless plug :P

unwanted? absurd...I'm sure they can find a good home...if you sign them Danny, I'm sure you can sell them at a high price...

Due to the cost, I honestly don't and can't buy figures which I don't like a LOT and intend to keep. I get pretty in depth researching different websites, reading reviews and checking out the various pictures just to search for flaws that would drive me crazy.

I SALUTE YOU! I can never part with my belongings. Everything's wanted! I'll find someway to keep them all xD. On the other hand, I don't have the funds to purchase figures in the first place >_>

This topic has over 100 comments so I suppose no one will read this, but...

Since I actually use money to get figures, I treasure each and every one of them. I'd never understand why you'd retire Figma Konata and Alter Louise. I'd kill for those. Seeing them just disposed off is painful. Very painful...

DC Kotori spotted! :O
What... Unwanted? Is there such things as unwanted figures? Well I don't own any figures because it's pain to get them in my region. I could only hope that there would be someone in my region who would sell figures at flea markets. =/

Have some due to the impulsive buying in the beginning @_@

Still display em though.. Wastage of money if i don't >_<

i can just imagine it: "eDanny" - the new eBay: for all his unwanted figs"

Someone will be lucky on that flea market =)

nope don't have unwanted figures.. but have limited figures T_T;
maybe next time Danny can have an article about the flea market in Tokyo?

To date, I have two figurines: Max Factory Haruhi Suzumiya and Bandai's Metamo Haruhi Suzumiya (Ver. 1.5). There are two or three others I want atop of that.

The other figures, however, were either thrown away or sold to friends. Whatever they do with them is up to them. XP

I always choose my figures carefully so I don't end up thinking about getting rid of them

i have been looking for that Louise and Konata figure for a long time. quote me a price, i'll buy it. ^^;

The only unwanted figures I have are those gashapon figures I have. But then again I may not have the heart to sell/give/throw them away someday (except for a couple of fake figures that I really want to dispose of).

It's the same with my Lego bricks. I have a ton of them stored in boxes and I won't give them away even if you pay me 500,000 USD! I might be willing to sell them for 1,000,000 USD though XD

holy cow, some of them look pretty decent! why would you want to retire them?

I guess I have 1 unwanted figure, but I got it for my birthday from my little brother. It's a pretty bad american Alucard (hellsing) "action" figure of which only the arms can move up or down. You can't really point them forward with the guns in hand or he'll fall over and didn't even come with the hat and sunglasses.
So then I went and placed Alucard's big black gun in the hands of a little cheap Batou figure, it turned out to be the same scale, which now looks even cooler! (guess alucard was useful after all)
Danny why oh why would you get rid of that Creator's Labo Mine Blue PVC (girl with blue sneakers), I was thinking of buying that since the design of the girl and her vehicle look very interesting.
I have a thing for girls on wheels, biker-moe?

I don't have any unwanted figures, but i do have a few gunpla that i will never get around to painting from my snap building days, so those usually go on ebay or to some forum member on the net.

OMG don't throw them away. Give them to me!

Personally I don't have any figures that I want to throw away because I select them carefully and then I proudly display them on my shelves. The only stuffs I want to throw away now are the gashapons which have become all sticky.

I got some gundam and other mecha stuff which I received as gifts, never was a fan of mechas, so... I would prefer to make room for other figures.

I rarely sell my stuff, but when I do, off to eBay it goes.

there are freebies figures from magazine though but usually they not nice ^^;

we, the readers don't mind having your retired figs^^

never have any figures from the start ^^a

I'll take the Figma Konata off of your hands if you want :D

I dont think i will put them away. they are expensive to collect ^^;;;

regret buying fraulein rei....

ow..ow..ow...what a pity...

please...send it to me....
cause i don't have any figure...
oh well...
those thing must be recycled....and must be replaced right?

Why if that one on the sukumizu isn't Kannon figma? I'm always able to obtain some new children to my little, but to me, very wanted collection.

It would be nice to get the Louise and Kotori (blue uniform, red hair) figures.

NO NOT THAT KONATA FIGMA!

I wish I could take that off your hands.

I'm actually scared to have retired figures...since what I collect are mostly toys to me than display figures. I'm probably never going to retire my collection

I can see 6 figures in that pile that I would love to own. I would gladly buy pre loved unboxed figures, I wish I had the chance.

One mans trash is another mans treasure after all. You should do an online flea market

i dont have any figures simply cause i cant afford to buy any.....but if they were given as gifts from friends...they would surely find a happy home on my shelves that surround my tv/monitor

Most of my collection are actually puchi figures .X_X. And I only have 5 of them. I haven't collected a lot of figures, but want to since I actually have an okay paying job ^_^

I have the same louise as danny....i feel like retiring it...who knew alter would release 2 more louise...

OMG DAMN YOU DANNY!! YOU DONT LOVE THOSE GIRLS! T_T

we, the readers don't mind having your retired figuya ^^''

You don't have an Alter Fate figure you want to get rid of by any chance, do you? :D

Well all my figures have worth...I consider them as me own treasure...although they're not that many...I would like to have one..LOL..The girl wearing an orange two-piece bikini,I think she belongs to Martian successor Nadesico...i dunno...And aya..LOL

I usually don't retire figures, but then again, I doubt my collection is as big as yours. And Pec Shampoo getting retired??? awwwwwww, I wanted that figure a while back and it was discountinued sigh. Anyway if I retire figures sometime, I guess to me it depends on the condition of the figure. If it's broken or missing some parts or the like, I think I would probable just throw them in the trash or something -_-. But I usually dont. Still have my very first figure I bought at local Suncoast heheh. Mizuho in bikini, it's kinda worn out now, but I love her so much, I still keep it ^^.

Konata and Hasahina-san unwanted??? No way!!
Well Im just starting in figure and havent pass by the retiring figure process yet.

Unwanted of figure from anime defitly no im the person who collectsa and just places away for later

I really want that Konata. Seems like I'm same as many readers here.

Omg!
I have so many unwanted figures!!!!
where do you get those bags to put them in??

I usually keep them because I have a problem of throwing away a figure and later trying to find it back. I always put them into an individual plastic bag before I keep them in a box.

Even tough i have some figures i dont like as much as back when i started collecting figures i couldnt sell them/throw them away.They are still somehow part of my "PVC Family" and you wouldnt throw out/sell your cousin just because she isnt that hot anymore aye?

I still display ALL my figures at the moment.When i run out of space ill probably store them away in their boxes

'Retire" for my collections means "moved from display shelf to archival storage".
Suffice to say, I fill a good sized storage facility....

(*^_^*)

I have had several that I didn't want, but fortunately I had some friends who did, so I gave them to my friends. I don't really have enough space to keep them all, and I don't really mind passing them on to people who will appreciate them more.

As for boxes, I have to be strict with myself and recycle them, rather than keep them.

Figma Konata~! *wants*

that pic makes me cry seriously unwanted figures , does such a concept even exist ???!!
now i'm in danny's list from the Toyosu Photo Walk article LOL

Winchan! *sobs*

I clicked "no", but then I realized I have two Trading Figures that I got that I didn't want ^^;;

Some of the figures it the pic I couldn't dare give up if I had them. Konata, I'm looking at you...

I try to avoid this scenario by only buying the ones I want. I would be more easily able to do this if I had SAFS too. ^^

I got into this fairly recently, AND I'm pretty frugal, so it's not really an issue yet for me.

Dude, you're getting rid of that Alter Louise? o.o Just so you know, I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would not mind second-hand figures one bit.

I buy little to avoid this issue. My purchases are actually only reserved for characters I really like.

Unwanted figures...SACRILEGE! SACRILEGE I say!...How many do you have anyway, Danny-san? That many, eh? Lucky T_T

What the... Konata Figma, Kotori, Mikuru, Louise... How can you not want them... O.o

Think about their feeling Danny.... T,T

MAYBE THEY ARE BROKEN!

I'd love that Baek. No unwanted figures for me since my collection is so small.

Yes I have some unwanted (impulse bought) figures that I would like to put up for sale. Some have barely been out of the box. I have too many Shana figures and that big Enchanter babe.

Omg you can't throw Kotori away.. (I have that same fig btw!)

http://techsuki.net/misc/index.py/Misc_Japan_Stuff/PICT3071.JPG

Mikuru & Mizuki unwanted?!?!?!?

Oh, the horror . . . .

I sell ones I don't want on eBay. But that happens very rarely.

Is that the Cosplay Konata I see there? Isn't that retired already? I thought it was only available through WF. Oh wells I have it already, she's posing with my Haruhi figure!

Unwanted... figures...? What are those? :P I haven't sold any of my figures yet, although I've got a couple that I might do. I'd prefer to sell them onto friends who I'd know would want them, rather than take a risk with putting them on eBay and going for 99p.

I'm guessing the Japanese flea markets are the equivalent of our boot sales?

some of them get taken to work and I keep them around my desk or share them with others who have no decorations at there desk. Some of my more expensive figures get thrown on ebay so I can make some of the money back to buy other stuff.

Shoot at them with my BB sniper rifles.

Oooo. Konata....I so wish I could make it to THAT flea market.

But as for unwanted figs, not really. Like many here, I don't have that many to consider thinning the herd...unfortunately

Can I has Konata? XD

Danny i would really love to buy some of your almost retired figures some of them intrest me...

Did I just see konata? O.O
And Louise too! I think I'd prefer to call them 'antiques' lol XD

Aww..
I dont have any to retire..
Like, In not kidding. I have... None.
Start my collection? ; ;
Ill pay for shipping. <_<

I even cry when I accidentally drop them on the ground!! ;_;

Don't have too much to warrant retiring any yet. But if it comes to that, I may sell them or give them away if no sale.
With boxes. :P

usually i retire some figures when i take new ones to place, because of the lack of space. i sell or give to my friends.

Win-chan and Mine Blue bike girl unwanted?!

I don't have that many unwanted ones, but when I do, I give them to people I know likes them.
You create a new collector, easily, that way, and you give a little back to the hobby.

I'll take Mikuru off of your hands.

omg! the aya figure!!!

i have a thing for the old ones...well, i don't want to part with them...it's like...if i leave them, they will cry...

Danny not all ppl dont like 2nd hand figures . I wouldnt mind as long as its cheap

Danny, I'd like to tell you a story of when I was a boy.
I never had the popular transformers. I didn't own an Optimus or an Ironhide or a Soundwave, but I did have a Sunstreaker and a Starscream and dammit if they weren't the best toys I'd ever owned. I loved them like nothing else. However, as I grew as boys do, I moved on to bigger, better and inevitably more explosive things. My transformers toys were cast back into the dark recesses of my closet as I set out unto the world with a pack of cheap plastic soldiers and some 80-cent lighters (Fireworks were hard to come by, so I took to setting fire to plastic lighters and waiting for the explosive decompression). Alas, as time went by, I soon grew tired of the same little green puddles of little green men. I once again longed for the toys that were worth something, the toys that meant something, the toys that warranted taking care of. I still remember the intense feelings of anxiety and anticipation as I rushed home to open that little plastic box of transformers long-since forgotten. "Oh, what nostalgia, what glorious memories must be lying in wait for me?!"

... and I still remember that crushing feeling of disappointment, defeat and regret, as I opened that little, white, plastic box, and found my old piano books. The transformers, the ninja turtles, even the lame batman toys, they were all gone. My mother had thrown them out, but I could only feel that I was to blame for the years (err... might've only been months. A month feels like a really long time when you're a kid) of neglect and banishment.

I haven't retired a single toy or figure since, from the Dragonball Z figures in 7th grade, to my first Gundam model kit, to the Final Fantasy figures of my teen years. Years from now, I hope I'll still be able to look back upon my Yuki Nagato Figma with the same passion and enthusiasm I felt when I first laid my hands upon her package... err, her box... err, that just doesn't sound right no matter how I say it, but you get the idea.

There's a lesson to be learned here, Danny. Even though you may lose interest in some of your figures, they may still hold a tiny place in your heart. Also, don't live in neighborhoods where convenience store clerks will sell lighters to 10-year-olds.

P.S. Sorry for the wall of text, especially on a post you made so long ago, but I hope you will read this and end your figure-retiring ways.

Danny, come on. I'm sure you can find some place for Konata-chan. If you don't, well, there are plenty of people (like myself) that would be very happy with her.

I don't have any unwanted figures in my collection--not like I already have very many in the first place, though. ^^;

Sure people would like that Konata and Louise... ^^

If I didn't want it, I wouldn't have spent my money on it. :P
