Wanted to think about it first. Came back 30 minutes later and it was gone. Weeks passed and I still wanted it and I couldn't find it. That feeling left a burning scar. But now because of space and money issues, I hold myself back. I try to only buy figures that I've seen the anime to. There have been many very nice figures that I've passed on. Like the Good Smile Company Miku Hatsune figure and figma. OH MY GOD she is cute. But I don't have a personal connection to her. She's not even from an anime, but some kind of singing software. So I kind of want to try out whatever she is from first before getting the figure. I now try to only buy that 1 super awesome figure a year. Whatever that may be. It looks to be that Saber Lily so far. A friend suggested that it's better to spend a $100 on a really great figure that makes your heart skip a beat, than 40-$60 on multiple figures that were cool. But coolness is in the eye of the beholder, and I've seen some reasonably priced figures around 30-40 bucks. @DQ

Lately, I have been making an effort to aquire the Alter Nanoha figures that I had been neglecting to pick up. Living in Japan, I have seen Alter Fate several times but she goes for 20,000 yen. I don't think shes pending a rerelease like Reinforce Zwei, so if I really want to add her to my collection... Your pictures are sure making me think about it. ^_^ Wonderful pictures of one of the best figures ever made.

@Vanessa:

Looking at this reminds me why I love figures so much. It's like reaching your hand into a TV or computer monitor and plucking out your favorite character(s). This figure here looks like it *leapt* off the screen! That's how awesomely intense it looks. That looks amazing! Looking at this reminds me why I love figures so much.
