Love the figure, very nice! I've never bought any figurines or statues before (really came close to buying some FF7 ones more than once), I think someday when I move out of my shoebox apartment and have more space I'll start buying all these things I keep putting off. Would have to start with Legend of the Galactic Heroes memorabilia though, lol...

Thanks! But yeah I feel you on that. I lived with my parents for several years after college and my room was so small back there. So even once I started making decent enough money, I didn't want to go buying stuff cause I had no space for it! Now that I'm on my own and have more space, it's been nice to slowly start buying stuff that I like and displaying it!

Yeah! Though that also reminds me of something that really bugged me around that midpoint, probably episodes 13-14 (maybe 15), when he was constantly trying to save Mayuri and he was doing everything by himself and not telling anyone what was happening/going on. He has all these friends and they could've worked on it together but he carried it all himself and (while recognizing that was all in-character for him to try to fix everything himself) I was getting pretty frustrated there, so it was cathartic when Kirisu finally confronted him and got him to divulge what was happening.

Definitely agree with this! Okabe is great but he is a blockhead sometimes and it's very helpful to have people like Mayuri and Kurisu around to help reel him in and set him straight when he needs to be!

Ashamed to admit I only realized it at same time Okabe did , and I'm not sure why I never thought of that as a possibility!

Probably going to watch the last two episodes tonight and I still have some moments from Episode 1 pretty clearly in my head. I remember Okabe going up to the roof and there's a machine that I'm really pretty sure is the freakin' time machine is there; and I remember hearing a guy scream which prompts Okabe to go see where Kirisu was stabbed and honestly always thought it sounded like Okabe but maybe overthinking things there, guess we'll see. And I also remember she mentioned him trying to say something to her earlier that day too. I remember John Titor posting about being able to "meet yourself" if you time travel but if you did, you'd change world lines, so I am expecting him to go back to that fateful day based on ep 22 ending while trying to avoid running into himself, bringing everything back full circle, ideally happy endings all around... gonna be good!!!

Yeah I believe it was the same for me. Pretty easy to get caught up in everything and not think to trace everything back to when the worldline first changed and what it meant for Kurisu. Just one gutpunch after another with this series pretty much.

Oh excellent! Just in time for the Top 5 tomorrow haha. Can't comment further unfortunately but looking forward to some final thoughts when you're done!

Would get the Reinhard one paired with this one naturally https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-033110

(never spending any money on Yang merch lol)

Nice choice! I couldn't believe it when I first saw them revealed. I picked up Reinhard and Yang.

I'm also a big fan of the Kotobukiya Medicine Seller. That's another one I never expected to see. Now, I just need Ginko

Now that I'm thinking about it more I am literally thinking about just buying stuff now so I don't miss the opportunity later - what does it mean by "Order Closed"? that they're sold out and/or the opportunity to buy is gone so there won't be another one? Or is it saying that because I don't have an account/am not logged in...

The LotGH ones sold out several years ago. The only way you will find them now is on the secondary market.

Mmm alright! Good to know I'm not missing any urgency here, haha...
