[...] by both Aketagawa Noboru and Morikawa Hiromitsu. You may recall Akategawa Noboru from works such as Shihoudou Narika to whom I continually thank Ashlotte for. Morikawa Hiromitsu however hasn’t done anything [...]

Ah! Good man! I’m happy I encouraged you to finally open the box. Happy to finally get a good close look at her now, not through plastic?

Well with how hard she is to find now, you could always have made a profit on the lack of availability that many have been doing. But I think it’s best you opened her, because I don’t really agree with people buying only to resell.

After reading your comment I went ahead and opened Narika. I guess your comment re-sparked the whole “I have a totally awesome figure. why haven’t I opened it yet?” feeling.
Of course, with every figure I bough so far (what little I have) I opened them immediately and put them on display and ogled at them for hours. Just Narika lol.
But I’m glad I finally opened her. I as well don’t have any interest in selling my figures, but I guess my lack of interest in Narika kind of got me to contemplate the idea. Now that I think of it, I find that idea to be simply absurd, considering how hard she is to find now.

I had the same problem with Black Rock Shooter, but it wasn’t permanent like it seems to be with you and Narika. As you know I received my BRS figure months and months after many others, and I felt no real desire to open the box. What got me to do it was just to complain about the weight and review her finally on my site.

Narika on the other hand I was ecstatic to receive, I’d wanted her for a while, kept seeing sky high prices and then Ash came along and made an offer I couldn’t refuse. So when she arrived I was just super happy and immediately opened the box to check her condition and how she looked.

I personally have no interest in selling any of the figures I own. So I eventually open them all and place them on display.

I find it funny that I actually got mine from Toyslogic. Of course, I had to wait about 4 months after the actual release date (the bastards…).
I still haven’t opened her box yet.
I think the long wait time just to get her after her release killed the moment. I kind of went “meh” and just placed her somewhere in my closet. If I choose not to open it, I might just sell it off.

I only have one remaining order with Toyslogic. Black Rock Shooter, and she was a pre-order. I've had issues with them and pre-orders in the past, like with my GSC Horo figure. The thing is, I've always received my figure when ordered through Toyslogic, I've never had a problem with that, aside from Narika here. But it's just how things get so drawn out with Toyslogic I can no longer deal with them.

“disconnect between Toyslogic’s inventory system and their actual stock”

I buy almost all of my figures from there, but ya there is definitely a disconnect there at times when it comes to inventory. I usually pre-order, but when I go to buy something that’s “in stock” I end up disappointed more frequently than I’d like.

Also grats on the figure, she has a wonderful facial expression and some adorable pink hair.

I don’t think my wife would let me. Plus, having a 15 month kid running around doesn’t help either. I’ll probably wait till we renovate the basement so I can setup a “display room”. LOL

Thanks!

Yeah Ashlotte was great in that regard.
