Should I or shouldn't? ┐(´～`；)┌ [buying a figure]

[Narcosis]

It finally had come to this.

http://plamoya.com/en/travel-cat-p-98316.html

Apparently, Plamoya has currently an ongoing sale with 16% off the original price; it's quite a bit, considering we're talking about an over 2 year old figure, which had a re-run and somehow still remains in circulation. Regardless, I'd still have to fork almost all of my spare monthly cash (I'd otherwise waste on other meaningless stuff anyway), which makes me wonder - is it truly worth it? Or perhaps, should I postpone it for a bit longer, in hopes it won't suddenly disappear again and get an even more interesting deal?

That aside, there's one person on mfc, currently selling his for 70$, which is used but in perfect condition. It would still have to travel all the way from Minessota, but that's definitely a cheaper deal, considering the shipping costs, which skyrocketed lately in terms of anything sent to EU.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, guys and gals

All figurines are cancer, but if you want it, go for it

[Jade]

The fact that you need to ask is proof you don't want it that bad  

[DharmaFreedom]

If you enjoy figurines with a passion and have the cash to spare on it, get it.

[Okarin]

About getting it in the first place, opinions are overrated, especially those of other people that aren't you. So do what you like.

About the deal, it's not that good, but you save something. Also the fig seems magnificent.

[Kaguya]

I don't know anything about figures.

Just here to point out adding "not a clickbait" to your clickbait title doesn't help and you should try making thread titles descriptive in the future. 

Buy it if it makes you happy and you have the money to do it comfortably, I guess. "I'd spend it in meaningless stuff" sounds like an awful excuse and I'd rant about how you should try some good ol' self-control, but eeeeeh.

I was into figure collecting and boy what a mistake it was, like srs all figures nowadays over overpriced, 2~3 years ago you could get 1/7 figures for about 70$ now you have to at least pay about 100-120 and don't get me started for the prices if you live in Europe.. like the quality didn't even went up that high so I don't see justification for the price nowadays. at this point it's better to spent your money on importing Chinese porn games tbh. 

But then again, if you really want the figure and have all the porn games you want + you have money to spare.. why not.

^if that so, go for it. Or go with that second option (that 1 person with 70$ deal) if you don't mind with used goods.

[Fiddle]

No. Figurines are manifestations of bourgeois capitalist greed.

The clothes are removable, though, so maybe.

[DarkZedge]

Is this even a debate? It's a Neko! that in on itself should be a good enough reason for you to buy it, I know I would instantly do so...   

If you like figurines then go for it, ultimately comes down to whether you think it's worth it or whether you like it or not enough to buy it.

How much is it and is it for waifu? When Black Lagoon gets another anime season (it's coming once the new mangas are finished) then I may have to get a Revy figure. Normies be darned.

Tabineko? She's currently priced at ~98$ (shipping not included). I'd have to fork off additional $36.40 for EMS. not the best deal, considering I'd be only shipping one product, but what can I do? Seriously, fuck Japan and EU. I'm sick tired of those skyrocketing prices (paid around 24$ for shipping last time); people who say things are becoming cheaper nowadays have seriously no idea what are they talking about.

Don't do it. Just say no to plastic crack.
Just look at Ren. Do you want to be like Ren?

36 dollars on postage, wew lad this is weebsploitation. I shudder to think what a new Revy figure would be.
