Hi there /Jp/
I've wanted to start a figurine collection for my new apartment, or just an in general collection of shit i like from the otaku culture.

So i thought that before i start buying in stuff i'd go to you guys (for the first time actually) for some tips, like where is the best place to buy this stuff and what you guys think i should get.

(pic related, i want to get something like that. just probably not most of the same characters.)

I like cute stuff or just stuff that looks neat.

At the moment i'm mostly reading manga that is only publishing on the net, so it'd be hard to get figurines from series like that.

Other than that i'm quite a mecha fan, so stuff like that would be nice too. Doesn't matter what series its from as long as it looks cool.
(Though it would be nice knowing where they're from aswell)

Just go play all 21 games on Luna start-to-finish. I'm kidding, of course. I think there's some books that cover the main series' events, if you really care.

God, SAO is terrible.

/a/ made a guide, ignore everything except the list retailers (list of shops) and importing info, the rest is common sense or individual opinions:

You could also lurk /toy/, they talk about buying figures more than /jp/ does.

I'm kind of disappointed in /jp/. OP has clearly not done his homework or any lurking at all, otherwise he'd know where to at least start on figure collecting.

OP is also clearly a massive secondary asshole who only buys shit cause he thinks it "looks cool".
>>12266097
>Doesn't matter what series its from as long as it looks cool

He's the type that'll forget all about this kind of shit in a year or two and move on to some other random hobby or whatever fad catches his attention.

Use ebay, OP. Leave and never come back.

Some might feel that way, but for me, it's more of the fact that you'll never become an interesting, contributing member of /jp/.

Instead, you're just one of an endless swarm of people who stumble their way in here, ask questions that have already been answered many times before, and leave without ever contributing anything useful, interesting or fun.
