1/8 scale Saber Lily should be up for pre-order at your fave online store. Due out in June and retails for 9,800 yen. More pics at GSC and Mikatan Blog.

Wondering whether you usually pre-order your figures or wait until they come out to check out the reviews first?

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

      i'm telling you, you should have spent money on the figure. Spending 100+ on a textbook that you will barely read and use for only one semester is wasteful.

    Presuming I find out about a figure in advance of release, I'll preorder
    Most of the time, I don 't find out until well after release, however.

    OMG! i was hoping it didn't turn out to be good so I can skip on getting it. but wow! if the final product comes out like that then I'm getting it for sure.

    I usually pre-order since by the time the figure comes out everything is sold out already. I just wish that they're are review copies of the final product sent to figure reviewers so users will know before the release whether they'll get it or not. Just like how the video game industry works. :D

    Waiting for Hobby Search or whatever...must get....

    Posed as if preforming her ultimate move "Distant Avalon", the figure has been sculpted to recreate the scene where Saber raided Caliburn. Her other noble phantasm, the sword "Excalibur" has also been included, and can be equipped and removed.

    So she comes with Excalibur and Caliburn? Sweet

    this will surely be sold out fast, but I assume there will be 2nd batch in 2010, but that's a looooooong wait, so pre-order NAO!

      Yea, I'm a bit confused as well... I really hope this is 1/7, even for 1/7 the price is already impolite, much less for 1/8... lol.

    Saber Lily is really THE figure announced so far this year. Price is high but I guess it is inevitable for a figure of this quality and popularity.

    Will usually pre-order for all my MUST GET figures. My local store offers very good price for pre-orders so it's a no-brainer for me. Mostly, I would have decided to get or not get a figure once I see the prototypes. Of course, there is always the inevitable "want to get" after seeing reviews. ^^"

        HLJ FTW! From my Hiyori Pixie experience, HLJ is about 2-3 days late with their releases. So probably 2-3 days late with their pre-orders too.

    Well, I guess we should've seen this coming - with all the anticipation, their bumping the price up should really be expected. It's already a likely candidate for figure of the year. And it *is* 1/7 scale.

    Still - it's an amazing figure, and a preorder I'll skip out on. ^^; It's too expensive right now, and more importantly, I won't be at home when she ships. I would, hopefully, be in Hong Kong on vacation instead.

    Guess I'll bank on being able to find her in a store. I've never shopped for figures in HK, but by all accounts HK is a pretty good place to shop outside of Japan itself. Will have to hang around the stores...anyone know the actual release date, rather than just the release month?

      ...>< I lied. *cries* I started refreshing at HS out of curiousity, and the moment it was up I pounced and pre-ordered. My dad's going to have a fit when he recieves the package while I'm gone, since he's going to have to pay for customs first. x_x Wonder if the post office will take his signature.

      Well, at least this way the big box won't take up room in my luggage. Would hate to crush that and damage Saber Lily in anyway. And I can always change the shipping address...

    I preorder this stuff, especially when the figurine is THIS epic and so beautiful. I know it's something that'll be rare on the markets and be worth a TON if a ever wait (or worse yet, it's all gone).

    Most of my figurines that I collect anyways are worth a bit more than they used to since I really like them and apparently are super rare now (who would've thunk it?)


    So this figure is a MUST buy and pre-order. Seriously! Look how cool the pose is with her armour and stuff! Better than trying to get the figma for it IMHO. lol ><

    Whooppss.. she is finally up at Hobby Search... I don't think i will buy from there though... probably just local store...

    The question right now is not whether I buy it or not... but whether i buy one or two??!! If it's priced around 7,000 yen.. it's a possibility... but at this price, i don't think so...

          Sorry my complaint is more generic than that (I know you saber fans are loyal ones, and I do like FSN myself)... but regardless of which character it is, companies have been raising their prices too aggressively and I see no call for that.

      It's actually hard to tell when the figure is in that position. For someone standing upright they assume the character is 180cm.

    God why so expensive. Not even Gift's Saber costs that much and while it's now 1/7 I think it's a lot more detailed. What's sad is that it's such an awesome figure that people will definitely still buy. Me being one of them of course but that still doesn't mean that she's way overpriced.

    I usually pre-order, but I tend to get them from archonia.com if possible and they tend to open for pre-orders later than HLJ.com. (If I pre-ordered different figures from HLJ.com, their ship what's already in stock after 2 months policy would kill me on separate parcel shipping.)

    But I plan on getting this Saber, she's expensive but looks too good to pass up on. Although I noticed the 1/8 Horo figure due out by Good Smile Company is in that price range too. Did GSC up their prices or so?

    I guess for figures that I've had my eye on, I'd preorder, like nendoroid miku and chua churam. The last figure I got was Alter's Aya from Oneechanbara, and that was already out.

    I'm glad I haven't seen Fate/Stay Night, or I'd probably want to get this figure.

    yes...it is too expensive and all because the financial crisis
    and the instability in the exchange rate and the devaluation
    of our currency....... i have preordered it keeping in mind
    one kind (or value) of currency exchange....but if yen and dollar
    keep going up, then i will have to cancel the order....

    i feel envy of japanese fans, because there are some online stores
    that are offering it for a liitle more of 7000 yens....
    but they dont do ship outside japan XD

    anyway, i will try to save the money for this figure because
    it seems to be one of the best Saber figures released XD
    (....guess i will have to cancel many preorders of other
    figures so i can save the money for this one...)

    Sh*t...!!! This figure is too popular!!! The price doesn't seem to hold people back from getting it... The local store near my place refuses to take pre-order... They are right now TRYING, to the best of their effort, to order 6 of Saber Lily... So right now they are still refusing to take pre-order... *sob*, I'm 8th in the list btw...

    I think I'm going to pre-order at HLJ or Hobby Search just to be safe... but if i can get this at KKnM, then i will cancel all my online pre-order....

    for Canadians where are you guys preordering?

    HLJ have SAL shipping but SAL doesn't provide tracking #

    Is EMS worth it?

    How much custom is expect to pay will HLJ/hobbyshop label it as gift?

    Thanks I never order figures online before but couldn't resist this one.

    Since you pay when they ship it you will be charge on that days exchange rate?

    New comer here, I am a die hard figure collection fiend, this figure should be pre-ordered, no questions asked! I am intrigued to register just to comment on Saber Lily. I pre-ordered the PS2 SP box to get my hands on the figma but this is like several magnitude more charming. If the production quality is close to these preview pictures, this could easily ranking top 10 out of the 150 or so figures I have collected! Coming from GSC, I expect a certain level of quality and the price tag I hope would warrant it.

    HLJ is usually pretty slow in updating their product page, http://www.1999.co.jp/eng is much quicker but they only offer EMS. I have started using http://www.e2046.com a lot lately, they are based in HK and offer VIP discount, I pre-ordered at $97.42

      What's wrong with EMS??

      I use them all the time, seems like a pretty reliable shipping method to me.

        Oh there is nothing wrong with EMS, I use that a lot too, especially for precious item like Saber Lily, EMS is the way to go. For less expensive items, I tend to go with HLJ and use SAL for lower shipping cost.

    For people in Toronto, Canada. There is this online shop, Kc Toys Shop is offering pre-order for 1/7th Saber Lily but the price is $149.98 CAD plus taxes (around $169 I think). I pre-order one from them. I sort of estimated if ordering from HLJ or Playasia would probably cost the same after import into Canada. If unlucky and get custom charge it might cost more. They even have the PS2 game + Saber Lily Figma but bit pricey. Anyways their site is www.kctoysshop.com.

    Most of my figures are all pre-order. For me it is more safe and easier to budget your savings especially if you plan to have multiple collections of figures.

    Thats one nice saber~!

    As for the pre order, i usually wait until things come out. Haven't bought my first figure yet but then again, I dont like ordering online either. SO ive been looking for a store here in Switzerland (preferably near zurich...)where i can get them at a decent price.
