Great figures, though; I don't have Fei Yan but Jian Xue is excellent. Yeah, I sorta expect E2046 to charge my card whenever, their release dates are consistently inconsistent.

I checked my order status for Fei Yan and Jian Xue from E2046, and it was actually moved FORWARD to this Friday. My bank account's gonna be smoking by the end of the week lol. Oh well, at least I'll get them sooner than I expected. So much for my wallet being happy.

Me, I like a nice, peaceful auction, with nobody else noticing the item. My favorite auctions are the ones with buyout prices, particularly on YJA ... it simplifies things a great deal. Congrats!

Kinda wish someone had tried to outbid; I love the thrill of eBay combat lol. I'm sure my wallet's glad that I didn't have to spend more than I planned though. Well, I won Saber Lily.

I originally only wanted Saber Lily, but then I saw the early pictures of Saber Alter and thought "she looks pretty awesome". Then I figured if I was gonna have two of them; I might as well make it all three. In that same vein I thought that one more Saber couldn't hurt, so I also preordered that really regal looking one from E2046. You can never have too many Sabers............lol. You should do it lol.

I don't know what the definitive Ryomou Shimei figure is, but I don't think any of Daiki Kougyou's qualify. Plus, those three Sabers would look incredible on a shelf. Heck, now I'm thinking I oughta get the Triumphant Excalibur version ... hmm ...

I'm sure I'll stumble across that Ryomou again, but something tells me I probably won't find Saber Lily for that cheap a second time. I really do want all three of GSC's versions of Saber (whenever Saber Alter is released), so I don't think that second part will allow me to lose that auction. Only a day to go and I've yet to be outbid! Unless some bastard waits till the last minute...............but that'll be irrelevant, cause I'll be right there watching it too lol.

It wasn't one of my favorites of last year - though it might be in the top ten - but I think it's a better figure than this one. Though admittedly, I've got a big thing for warrior girls with broadswords, and much less of a thing for maid outfits.

I usually budget with the expectation that figures are going to get delayed and I'm surprised that most of the stuff I've ordered this summer hasn't been bumped back much. Yeah, I can see how her boots might detract from the figure. I'm not too familiar with Ryomou's character because her characterization has been so inconsistent across the English translation of the manga and the anime.

I'm not sure why, but it just doesn't do it for me. I do like the Jr. High version though (although I agree on the whole "not looking like a jr. high student" thing). In fact I found that one on eBay for relatively cheap, but unfortunately I've already blown way over my figure budget for the month........again (so much for a new laptop). Part of me wishes I'd lose that auction for Saber Lily so I can get that one, but then the other part tells the first one to shut up. I like everything about this figure but the face.
