@james thanks ^_^ glad to see your ebay experience has been positive. hopefully i’ll time time this weekend to get mikuru out of the box

@optic thanks for the insight! ebay is my last choice as well, but like you, i simply couldn’t find any retailer with her in stock.

@panther Kind of got her on a whim @ a convention, very glad I did. Definitely my favorite kimiaru character. Need to play her route in the game still…^^; Seiyuu also did Tama-nee, always a plus in my book hehe

I spot Shinra. Whom I just made a sort of review for. Good choice there.

Yes, eBay should always be last option.

Mikuru was my first figure purchased from ebay. Considering most of the online retails are sold out, I didn’t really have a choice. I was a bit worried as well considering ebay is the biggest place for bootlegs but here is a few tips I take:

- always check their comments.
- always ask whenever in doubt.
- get them to take a picture of actual figure and box ( if available ).
- when the price is too good to be true, then its too good to be true.

Overall, buy at your own risk and prepare for the consequences. Ebay is my LAST option when it comes to figures.

You got some nice figs there ^^

Please give me your Reinforce , thank you so much :p

The Mikuru seems fine , usually if you have the holographic sticker on the box , there’s a good 90 % chance it’s the real one . After this you have to look at the writting on the box to see if there is all the infos about the manufacturer and stuff and as i see that , all is good :)

There’s not that much bootlegs on ebay … i bought half my figs on it and still didn’t see one . Usually bootlegs are at half the normal price , sometime less so it’s easy to see . And if you’re always buying from the same sellers , it’s fine :)

Can’t wait to see pics of the Mikuru , i always wanted to buy her but never did :s
