Default Where do you buy your anime figures?

Hi everyone,

I have been wanting to get some anime figures but the prices are way too high some are around 200 euros and I want to spend around 20 euros on a figure so does anyone have a good shop where I can check? thanks in advance

Also forgive me if I posted this in the wrong thread but i thought this was a good place to ask.

May i recommend checking Anime Store/Vendor Reviews section out. The forum is specially for discussing vendors and such, you can find some decent reviews (for real fig's and such) to help with a quality buy but more importantly for you some people offer some sites selling cheap.
Now i don't use Euro but it's not to far from pound sterling but you might have to up your margin a little but honestly as expensive as some might be usually they don't cost so high, depending on what you want of course. Im more a fan of nendo's which are a little cheaper but either search the net enough you will find some decent priced ones otherwise try the link and see if anything useful is in there. At the end of the day it depends what your after, some are steep in price (rare otherwise ones which are no longer produced) whilst some are more decent in price.

also a side tip, some magazines come with fig's for free, more commonly nendo's but i have seen quite a few figs recently going free with magazines, ok the magazine might cost around £15-20 but as far as the price goes that's not bad as you get a fig + posters - but this is just a idea anyway (as selection isn't so much as a option) for future times.

Thank you, i'll check that section out. I searched quite a bit but I might try searching for some Nendoroids as they do look really cute :) I wasn't really searching for rare ones (atleast I don't think it's rare

About the magazines wihc ones are you talking about are they japanese only or do some english magazines have them as well?

Thanks for helping me out

I wonder why anyone would want to.
I could buy two anime DVD sets, or a dozen new manga volumes for the same price of an "average" figurine.

I don't really mind the "guys collecting figurines" thing so much as how gruesomely expensive it is.
