What were they selling him for? The entire FFVII Bring Arts line is rather egregious in terms of pricing and QC. I have most of these, and my god, if there were any other companies making figures of the OG FFVII characters I'd ditch the Bring Arts versions in a heart beat. For the $120-$130 MSRP, you would think that the figures would have amazing articulation and a great spread of accessories. Nope. Square-Enix gonna Square-Enix and fuck their customers up the ass. Almost no accessories, extremely limited articulation that usually results in the figures just straight up falling apart if you try moving the legs, and an obscene price point. They do look nice though as long as you have them in basic standing poses.

I got all of mine from import sites, where they run about $70 per figure plus shipping. $70 is honestly still too expensive though (but still much better than the $130 most US sites sell them for). $40-$50 would be slightly more acceptable.

What makes this whole line really embarrassing is when you compare the quality to something like Jada or the new Storm Arena figures coming out. A $25-$35 figure shouldn't completely outclass a high priced collector's item on almost every front, yet here we are.

Yea, I've got all the Jada SF releases and they are nice , especially for the price.

Cloud was around £130 or $175 but I paid £35 or $47 .

I heard about the dodgy legs , the site that I got the info about his discount from mentioned it. I thought for the price I'd take the chance, if he was full price I wouldn't have gone near him ....

$47 is perfect lol. It will definitely limit the amount of buyers remorse you experience! Again they do actually look nice as long as you don't try to use the articulation.

Saw how much the Sherlock Holmes Lego set was going for, and the fact it's on back order at Lego, I bought it through Barnes & Noble for $112.

Anyone seen the new One Piece Lego sets ?

Tempted to spend money on those rather than the castle...

I guess things have changed! I pre-ordered the collector's edition of Titanfall 2 and It was like 3 days after it was supposed to arrive. They sent me an email with an activation code for free and then sent me collector's edition when it arrived.

Yours was probably a more high profile big boy pants pre-order where the stink from a screw up would be widespread.

I never really watched the cartoon beyond S1E1 and I think there's at least one girl character with very large boobs. Curious how Lego depicts that.

I want Lego Dragon Ball Z and Gundam.

I came at it through the live action show first. Not sure which character you mean so I'll need to do more research

Kinda want to order GIJ CS Retro greenshirt for the swappable alternate heads and necks since I don't think I have any with alt necks, but the face/head sculpts are bleh. I kinda want Mercer, but not the Sarge version in the two pack.
