Square wouldn't confirm so perhaps it was a Data Protection thing.

Other things putting me off is the postage cost and eventually the import duty tax for the items too. $60-80 AUD for delivery is pretty disgusting for a figurine.

Oh man, your stuff looks so nice when it is all together like that. Might have to come live with you if you have a spare room. I really need to start looking for a 3-4 bedroom house real soon. Hopefully the wife won't mind too much when I start branding the house with Final Fantasy stuff lol. She currently doesn't mind as she also likes it and enjoys watching me play the game.

Thanks for your input and please take plenty of photos for more inspiration! LOVE IT!

Getting on with it (more pics)




The most important item is my Late Grandfather's 'Friend of the Burma Star Assoc badge'

The Zack on ebay is going to go through the roof, maybe hit like £65 maybe, depends how bad people want it. I might as well just go home instead of staying here at work watching it go up and up with some last minute bids that I won't get involved in.

Besides, I have a Final Fantasy VII Cold Cast 1/8 Resin Statue of Cloud and the Hardy Daytona to take home which arrived today for me.

Is it the one with it's own plinth with the FF7 logo?
Becoming very rare

Brought these today (was able to knock some off both)

(now bar the extra weapons will have the full Std FF7 set)

May put a bid in for this unless it steps on your toes?

Shiva figure is missing the 2 small figures that come with it if boxed but would go with my other Shiva bits?

[Likey]

Yeah. This is the one I got except it is second hand:
http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-.../dp/B00030LP88

Oh no, if only I knew you were going to buy that, I would have suggested you get this instead!

The guy is selling this very limited boxset and is new - the Cloud and Fenrir you bought is from this boxset.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Final-Fant...item19cfc3d595

You must keep a look out as he has 5 left for sale (I'll let you know when it is relisted too) and for some reason there is no demand for it so get it while it's cheap. He shipped mine today so I should be getting it a few days, I'm sure he'll list the next one soon. Check his feedback to see how much he sold these before. I managed to win it with the first bid! $199 + $69 shipping is still a bargain as he's sold them for $900 before!

As for the new Shiva bike, yes I definitely want that one if you don't mind me trying to win it. Do you already have it? The other item I am after is the FFVII Static Arts Cloud if you know where I can get one for a reasonable price, don't want to pay like $400. :/

Great photos - look forward to seeing more of your FF stuff.

Yes saw that but my wife would kill me (what no food on the plate!!!) but it was the cheaper option

Will look out for the Static version.

Only put the bike on my watch list, so no bid away i will not (until next pay day)

[Likey]

Cheers buddy, was searching for the bike this week but didn't see it. Your search skills are better or that they just listed it.

Tonight I'll make some time to take photos and create my thread.

I'm spending so much lately it is unreal! My wife said she'll ban me from this forum soon LOL.

[Likey]

You've got this buying stuff sussed! I'm doing it all wrong lol.

Very good deal you got for the OST. I also got an amazing deal for the Limited Edition FFXIII OST, it was listed on Amazon for £19.99 and was listed everywhere else for 3 times that price and in the US it was $119.99 so of course I instantly bought it.

I love the soundtrack too, trying to get used to FFXIII-2's OST - it's not as good but I'm growing to like it more.

I've just made another big(gish) purchase:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280872357476

Yesterday I won another one too without a bidding war - come with loads of games too:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300700373303

Shit, this collecting hobby is getting expensive LOL!

EDIT: Could have bought the new Sony Vita and all the games for this money. :/

Is this what you are after or are you the bidder?
