By the time this gets out I would be at least a day late, if not two, but no matter. I promised Ruri-chan I would have her post up for at least 48 hours. Anyway here are the official new arrivals straight from La Tendo's newsletter on Tuesday. Included as well in the newsletter were also new preorders.I must hereby correct something I mistook for a long time. Preorders are not restricted merely to members. The general public are also able to make preorders, but they are not entitled to the member discount rate of 10%. Therefore it is still better to make a preorder via a membership, but that does not mean that the general public cannot make the preorders. I must apologize for having made this mistake for so long, it was only cleared after I had a chat with Reedy last Saturday.All quoted prices are in SGD. The format for this post for new arrivals is pretty simple - I am only going to list the name of the figure, the series it is from, the manufacturer and the scale together, and if any additional footnotes are to be added, it will be below the first line. An example follows:Figure name, Series, Manufacturer ScaleAdditional footnoteNew ArrivalsElwing, Shining Wind, Kotobukiya 1/8Only people who made her preorder may collect her, they do not have enough stock to sell.

Seriously, if you are going to buy that last one I mentioned, I have no idea why you want to. But yeah, if you are still interested...go ahead. But definitely, if I wanted an Eika figure, I would rather wait for some better company to make some better figure of her. I would not mind an action figure even, since Raijin is important, but WTF?Poor Eika,Panther
