Not really sure what they are worth but thanks for sharing the links.

I might just email to ask for a buy it now, rather not have to bid if I can help it. So much easier.

Ok good luck, happy to pass anything on that may take your fancy as at this time i have too much going on (have a few more items with bids).
may only be a one liner & the link rush rush rush

Need to do a second clear out as the house is starting to lean to one side

I'd rather not take take take, it's not what I'm all about, rather be fair with you and you've been so kind to let me bid on things I want that you want too.

I also need to post more stuff on here but not sure if what I do is the right way, if there is a right way. You'll see what I mean when I start posting it up.

Currently on Skype but on a break, will post more tomorrow as I'm expecting the long awaited Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Advent Pieces: Limited boxset!

The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

Need to apply the breaks, so bid or e-mail away

The AC set includes Sephiroth, Aerith, Vincent and Cloud. Cloud was released with the Fenrir bike and separately on his own. The second set consists of Yuffie, Kadaj and Reno. There's also Bahamut Sin, Creeper (?) and Highwind or whatever it's new name was. ALSO, smaller mechanical arts that were ShinRa bikes and a small scale Fenrir (don't see this around often).

As for the Koto statues linked above, they're not too expensive. £50 or so for each one. The first editions are likely to set you back much further though. Only difference between them is first edition was made many years earlier and came with a serial card, second run didn't. Back of the box may also be slightly different.

They did some really nice FFVIII and X statues too actually but prices can vary for them but you're guaranteed to pay a fair bit for Lulu and Rikku and, if you get super lucky, Wedding Yuna. Kimhari is usually the cheaper of the FFX bunch.

Edit: Also to note, the Cloud that comes with the Advent Pieces is slightly different. They redid his head and arms for the separate release. These parts were also sold separately for those that wanted to swap them. The box is totally different, too of course. The set is pretty rad if mainly because of the special printing of the game. I own 2 sets but sadly both outer boxes were damaged (common issue).

You're very clued up about these figurines and sets that are out there, thanks for your knowledge. I'm still gathering information but haven't really formed a list so just sort of just going with the wind.

I'm just hoping the outer box won't have too many labels on such as the address and all the courier stickers etc. Really hoping it doesn't have crap on the sites, rather it all be on the top if they do it. Be nice if it isn't damaged or have many dents.

May I ask how much you paid for both of your Advent Pieces set? Mine cost me $199 + $69 shipping. Then just under £30 for import tax - regret not asking them to mark it as gift etc.

I'm sure you've seen this but love this scene so much, they did well with it.

I did try to embed it but says it was disabled so here's the link.

May have been better to ask the seller if the outerbox already had courier stickers on them or not. Both of mine did, though I originally purchased from play-asia at their retail value (nearly £150 each).

Only reason I know about the figures is well, apart from loving FF, is because I still want them myself so have been keeping "tabs" on them over the years...a few years even.

Likey · #49 05-16-2012, 10:47 AM

I spoke to a guy on ebay and he also had two of these, why did you buy two?

What are your limited numbers for the both of them, if you don't mind sharing that info. I'll take pictures of mine later tonight if I can spare the time. Suppose to start my poker up again tonight so I might be limited in time, need to get that going to fund my collecting!

I'm building up my knowledge with these figurines as well, got the gist of most in the FFVII and FFXIII/FXIII-2 range, being out of the game for so long doesn't help.

I hope I don't get stung for another import tax from Australia. Received it yesterday but it was marked as gift with $40 for the value so that's nice.

Ryu Kazama · #50 05-16-2012, 11:33 AM

I can't remember the numbers. One set is sealed and the other is back in it's box with both being in storage, much like most of my figures.

I got 2 mainly to keep one and use one. I kind of do that for any big thing (Zack figure is another examlpe, FFX original release is another).

One of the big reasons I stopped with the figures is due to customs, too. It just adds up far too quickly.
