Max Factory Tsuruya-san Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:26:06 +0000 http://dancingqueendq.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/do-i-need-the-entire-set/#comment-5377 [...] Over a year ago i debated getting this lovely Tsuruya-san figure. I had the rest of the Max Factory Haruhi set, but didn’t feel like i needed Tsuruya-san as well. Plus the fact that at that time i was jobless and broke. I regretted it soon after not getting her since she sold out rather quickly and there wasn’t a re-release announced for a while so I gave up on ever having Tsuruya-san to be with her friends. But lucky me HLJ had a sale and had Tsuruya-san on the list as well! [...] [...] Over a year ago i debated getting this lovely Tsuruya-san figure.

You could display Kyon, Yuki, Haruhi, Mikuru, & Koizumi all doing the hare hare yukai dance on your desktop! :) I would have just bought the Hare Hare Yukai set!

She's so lovely!! If I had a choice between a Tsuruya-san, and any other of the Haruhi girls, it would be Tsuruya-san any day!! But that might not be your preference.... I think it would be a tough choice, Fauna, the lovely Fauna, over Tsuruya-san, who I also love..... And OMG you dont/didnt have a job and yet you could afford all these figures???!!

But generally as well I don't believe in collecting an entire set of characters. Of course I do have the entire set of ARIA figures from BEAT, but I also have a source of disposable income. Your best bet is to hold off for the time being until you can gather the cash, or do a small job here or there to get the cash you need. If you are one off from the entire set, I would buy it.

Tsuruya could be the last one from the set and missing out could be a letdown. Based on the sales and availabilty of the last 2 (Asakura & Yuki), I'm sure Tsuruya will be around for a while or maybe even months. Considering your situation, postponing her will be a good option but depending on how long you willing to wait could be a setback if its sold out quickly. While many browsers may not notice you are missing Tsuruya due to your extravagant collection but deep down you know you must have it. xD Considering you got all 4, wouldn’t it kill you if you didn’t get the last one?

I need to save my money and i should be buying Quality of Quantity. Plus as Deftoned says, i keep mentioning i want my own fauna. i know i want fauna so much more right now than tsuruya-san. plus there is a big chance of being able to get her at a later time. In either stores here in the U.S. or even at anime expo, so then it's official she's off the list! i am starting to agree with most of you!

Since I got my Fauna, I don't think there's been a day you haven't mentioned wanting one for yourself. ;) Although I failed at my "1 figures a month" rule, quality over quantity should be key. There are a lot better looking figures out there now and in the near future, so I'd save the money. And like moy said, it'll most likely be available here soon enough.

In fact for the Haruhi set, I have the set except for Mikuru since I didn't like that sculpt that much. Another series - the Shuraki set, I ordered only 3 of the 5. I think we should just purchase the figures we like and not be constraint by buying a figure for the sake of completing the series. That would unnecessarily strain our finances. In this light, I'd suggest you drop Tsuruya and save for Fauna. :) I personally don’t believe in the ‘collect the whole set’ philosophy.
