    Is there an australia buy/sell/trade figuarts forum/facebook page for that?

    that's gonna be a hard trade thou xD. the tonfa and shield is worth much more :P. I think the base figure is the same thou.

    I don't collect Star Wars or Figurarts stuff, but i'd probably look at generic Star Wars forums and see if there's a collector's sub-forum or something like that.

    Yeah, the tonfa and shield does look like it's worth more, but you'd probably lose more shipping from the US or Japan.

    That said, surely there's someone out there willing to sell a gun, the only problem is finding them...

    Hey I can bring it in for $100 let me know.
    ASAP as is while stocks last and no is not in hand . I order it in for you.

    Bad news is Japan exchange rates are lousy so $105 is worse case.

    It isn't too bad IMO considering a lot of places are sold out or you can wait for a rerun.

    Sorry to hijack this thread but it kinda seems related to what I'm looking for...

    Background: I was going to treat myself to one nice piece of Force Awakens collectible, as I've reached that stage in life where I've only got room and money to collect one thing, that being Transformer Masterpieces. The girlfriend said I should buy at least one Force Awakens thing given we're both big fans of Star Wars.

    Dilemma: I was originally thinking of getting the Hot Toys Rey + BB-8 figure from Hot Toys, but at $500 a pop that was getting a bit ridiculous. I've decided to settle on a First Order Stormtrooper, but not sure which brand to get: I've seen Hot Toys, ArtFX and Figuarts. Any recommendations? My budget is $100 give or take so presumably that leaves Hot Toys out.

    I've been looking at them again as well as the hasbro black series. The figuarts ones definitely seem to have more articulation. Are they really 2.5 times better than the hasbro ones? That's how much you seem to need to pay. The Hasbro ones are limited in the elbows, which of course it seems to be the main joint required for some of the gun holding poses and photos i had pictured in my mind lol.

    This is the other brand I mentioned earlier but they aren't coming out until August it seems:

    They are cheaper than the figuarts ones and also include more guns and accessories which is awesome. I don't like the look of that wrist popping out though in the bottom left hand corner, especially since that's the kind of stuff I wanted to do with whatever I got...

    I reckon if you're willing to pay the $60 for Mafex than go with Figuarts. There is a 1st Order ST from Japan that is $84 free postage.

    For me, Mafex seem to still be go through some teething issues, where as SHF has already nailed it imo.
