    Default help with Berserk Art of War figurines :o

    i have tumble on some berserk figurines from Art of War (http://www.art-of-war.co.jp/english/...list.php?gid=1), and now I want to buy some but unfortunately they are all sold out >.>

    So, it would be great if you could give me links to online shops that still have them in stock, and at a correct price (the only i found on ebay were way overpriced >.<)
    It would be better if the shop can deliver in europe, but it is not mandatory if the prices are good


    Thanks in advance, in the hope that it will help others beside myself too

    The link has an extra ")" character at the end (looks like the forum's detecting the closing bracket as part of the link).

    As for those figurines, I'm pretty sure they're not sold on any online shops other than the Art of War website (Art of War make and sell their own statues, they don't supply other shops as far as I know), and they only make limited amounts of each statue. Once a statue has sold out, you'll be very lucky to find one anywhere.

    The over-priced eBay auctions are probably your best chance of getting the ones you want that have already sold out, unfortunately.

    I've always wanted to get some of their statues, but unfortunately all the ones I wanted were sold out long ago.

    i have updated the link (it's not the first time that vbulletin included the parenthesis into the link o_o")

    @maddog : i have found quite a lot of websites selling them in fact, but it was either overpriced or sold out
    it seems that lots of stupid morons who don't have a clue about what to do in their lives speculate on these products (and figurines of quality in general), and in the end poor customers like us are screwed >.>

    There is also a nendoroid figurine of ryuk i am interested in, but even though it will be out in 2 months it is already sold out everywhere, or are sold at twice or third the original price -_-"

    speculators should be faced with death penalty (>=_=)>

    Art of War only makes roughly 150 of each of their statues, that's not enough to be supplying retail chains with them. If there are other websites selling them, they most likely bought them from Art of War in bulk for the specific purpose of selling them at a higher price.

    it may depends on the statues then... I am not interested in the statues at 200$ or more, which must be the ones which go out in small quantities (i don't have the money so this solves the problem )
    I was mainly interested in the Puck figurines, which must go out in greater quantities i guess ^^

    But yeah, from what i understood, Art of War has negotiated an exclusivity over Berserk figurines with Miura, so it dictates its own laws ;_;
    And it is a shame as they could make and sell way more figurines if they wanted to !

    Ah, OK yeah it works now.

    Ha, how about the much more uncool name for Skull Knight: "Knight of Skeleton Horse"

    You're right, I was mainly thinking of the more expensive collector's statues, not the little figurines and key chains, etc.
