@marimbalex27 @meishato It wouldn't make sense for feminists to lobby for the expansion of the draft while advocating for the abolition of selective service.

@Wario64 I got my thor max for the original price, got it and the accessory bundle shipped for less than the cost of just the console. Crazy seeing how much the cost is going up.

@ActuaryBeth @whathellsur3 Fstt were saying Beijing 2022 was liu in her prime which makes no goddamn sense.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay Not a problem, and sorry about my rambling sometimes i can get in the weeds about the few things im knowledgeable on. Also a note that solarisjapan charges up front while gsc charges when its ready to ship.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay If we're talking baby's first figure then when POs go up just compare goodsmile us, goodsmile global and solarisjapan and order wherever is cheapest. US shipping will be ~40, gsc global is $52 flat rate and solarisjapan gives an estimate on the product page.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay It's really only for the huge figures like prime 1 studio does that are better gotten from us stores. Things have also changed a LOT since I imported a scale tho and the streets are saying shipping is like $100 now 💀

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay Not typically, it's often either same price or cheaper. Usd benefits from the exchange rate and US store prices are higher to account for import cost. I got a scale fig I paid $170 for shipped and us distros has it at $220 so I saved money and got it earlier.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay So less is paid in tariffs. Eg I bought nendos that cost $100, I uses $50 worth of points, declared value was $50, only paid tariff on $50.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay If you want to go galaxy brained, get an otakumode membership to save points then use those against your preorder. Iirc for your $15 quarterly sub you get $17 worth of points and you get like a 20% shipping discount. Points used also bring the declared value down

@myamura Pink! It should be pink

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@myamura 🤝

@angeIamay @kennedydecay $100 is a price point closer to the kotobukiya bishoujo line. This is a gsc scale that's splitting rights between sanrio and junji ito. I'd put a prospective price closer to $160 based on other sanrio collab figs.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay Figures tend to have lengthy PO periods so you'll have a couple months to order then 6 to 12 mo ths until it actually ships. If you order from a site that charges when it ships youll have a chunk of time to save funds.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@kennedydecay Hi I buy figures. Mostly nendos but I've been on the scene long enough. We don't have a ton of details on this one yet (like what scale is it going to be) but based on the cost of other sanrio collab scales it'll probs be ~160 or so then you have shipping costs that can be steep.

Yesterday was Boston Pride. This amazing human designed this costume, which I believe weighs 18 pounds and wore it all day long. He ended up leading the bi+ contingent which was organized by the Bisexual Resource Center. Everybody looked great!

@NoseOfDeath For reference materials. Also from what I can see, Sugawara's estate has not had the same challenges the Tupac estate has.

[Professor Fries @Professor_Fries]

@NoseOfDeath It also shouldn't be surprising that a western audience wasn't aware of a japanese actor who had died over a decade ago. It's also a non issue because they received formal consent from the family for using his likeness and from the companies that made films he was in to use
