1/8 Haruhi gone in 60 seconds
Various hobby websites put up preorders for the second batch of Max Factory 1/8 Haruhi today. The first batch of 5000 units is due for release in February and the preorders, online and offline at Akihabara, were gone in a matter of hours. The second batch was put up today and is due for release in April.
And once again, preorders ended at record speed. I think we can all agree that Haruhi is awesome and this happens to be the most accurate representation of her awesomeness so far, making it one of the most awesome-nest figures ever. To misquote the late Winston Churchill, never in the history of human conflict entertainment has so many fapped so hard to so few.
Just a few websites that were taking preorders.
Your best hope now is to keep refreshing CDJapan because they have yet to start taking orders for the new batch. Alternatively, pray for HLJ.
P.S. I ordered two from HLJ for the first batch. I hope they are able to fulfil the orders…

moyism >> Who wants DVDs anyway? Let’s wait for the Blu-Ray boxset, to enjoy the series in the full HD glory it deserves :-). Plus, it might be reasonably priced: Blu-Ray AIR will be out next month for as “little” as ¥29800 (list price).

YesAsia are really shitty about figure pre-orders IME.
Even with something with plenty available, a couple of times now i’ve pre-ordered and had status change to ’searching for stock’ or something on release day, and then expected ship date slip back and back, and then the item never coming into stock.
Avoid.
Re: Haruhi, I didn’t even see the figure before pre-orders were gone. I guess I’ll have to wait half a year… :(

And the less hard-core Haruhiists like me will probably end up squabbling over the leftovers…Even if they put out a third batch…
I mean seriously. Anyone who is TRULY OUT TO GET A HARUHI is killing a dozen other people to get in line, lol…

[...] Money is the root of all evil. Therefore we should spend all our money. Besides Mahoro and Haruhi, here are some nice pieces of polymers that I am probably going to cough up blood for in the near future… [...]
