I think he was looking for a way to pre-order the Samus figures, mainly the Figma Varia suit, I think.

Oh cool. found them on amazon but it requires 91 dollars shipping...dang

Like I said, Hobby Search or Play Asia is the way to go because Amazon kinda...kinda charges way to much.

there are a lot more stores out there then those two.
a lot more who are a lot better.
Play Asia is a lot worse then Amazon when it comes to prices. Your always paying 2X + more then the actual price.
Hobby Search is alright but they usually sell out fast on hot items. z:)

Yeah, I'm just listing the two that I thought of immediately. There's always Amiami and various other stores that can be found through Google and the like.

On another note, I hope Goodsmile officially announces Sammy on their site soon, I really want to see what accessories she comes with! I'm hoping to get her as a Christmas present so I hope they release her soon!

Don't count on it. If you read the front page you'll find out that its supposed to come out spring 2012. Hopefully sooner but we will see.

mmhhh the stand on samus is from marvel legends, and the stand of the metroid is made with a webcam stand and a metal rod (:

I managed to find a Metroid Other M Marque being tossed out behind a GameStop quite a few months ago. I carried it back to work where it currently serves as our game holder. I also took out the Samus portion where she now rests on my desk.
