Remake Merchandise

[Odysseus]

Which place?

Can say from experience that a few of them (e.g. AmiAmi and Hobby Search/1999) charge when it's in stock, before it's shipped.

I ordered from PlayAsia his time. AmiAmi was down when I tried there.

unfortunate. you could have made it future yous problem to cough up $130 for tifa tiddies.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I'm...ultimately going to skip on Tifa, after all.

I ended up going for something My Hero Academia related that is far more relevant to my interests

Dunno if I'll be able to resist if Cloud in the dress is the next one though... That might be a challenge. LOL I have more than enough Cloud figures but that one?

That would be different enough to warrant collecting. It'd be worth it.

It's gonna be the P~R~I~N~C~E~S~S one, we all know it. It's going to be gloriously ridiculous and we'll all love it. (but it still won't fit my decoration ).

 

[ph14basicbitch]

I'm going to skip tifa and aerith so I can buy the collectors edition of the chaos game so I can get the script book and hope Nojima just wrote chaos for 300 pages.

...which means tifa and aerith would objectively be the better buy, but--

My Remake Sephiroth PAK arrived! Looking sharp!

Spoiler

I originally tried taking a picture with the Masamune facing out and look at this ridiculousness. C'mon man! OG artwork pose tho...

 

[Makoeyes987]

It really is interesting to compare it to the FFVII AC Sephiroth PAK.

Your Sephiroth just looks so much... brighter. The way he looks in the photo, he sorta looks hopeful. S-E went for an entirely opposite aesthetic with Sephiroth's Remake PAK than the AC one. Very reminiscent of Dissidia too. It looks really cool, especially the detailing on his coat and belts.

Yeah, you got yourself a good PAK

 

[Odysseus]

Tifa really did get the short end of the stick.

 

[ph14basicbitch]

Rufus is here! He looks better than AC Rufus. Good enough LOL.

To give the kids an idea of just how behind the Square Enix USA store is, Reno is still a pre-order lol.

Remake Rufus looks like a huge upgrade from the old one, so that's a relief.

 

[ph14basicbitch]

At this point, might as well cancel S-E NA store pre-order and import it from Japan lol.

 

[Odysseus]

that's what I did a while ago lol. I don't have money for these monthly PAKs right now anyway though.

 

[Makoeyes987]

What's fortunate is that the PAKs for FFVII Remake haven't seen much secondary market mark-up. They seem to be in generous supply. So there's no FOMO pressure to hurry and get these before they double or triple in price.

I remember the time PAKs would easily sell out after 3 to 6 months past the release date. Evidently S-E is either making more of these, or people aren't buying as fervently as before. I'm thinking it's the former, because a lot of other PAKs have been re-released over time as well.

 

[ph14basicbitch]

I'm having fun with these lol

Dog tags are here:

I also received an Intergrade steelbook as a free gift:

Spoiler

(Apologies to Rude, but I do play favorites.)

 

[Makoeyes987]

The steelbook as a free gift? Awesome, that's like a free $60, those things are pricey given how rare they are now.

Dog tags look awesome, they're a unique and cool collectible!

 

[ph14basicbitch]

Well, I think I got the steelbook as a free gift BECAUSE THE FUCKING DOGTAGS COSTED ME

Spoiler

$300 EACH

SO IT'S REALLY THE LEAST THEY COULD DO

 

[Makoeyes987]

Ouch, yeah you're absolutely right

That's nice they were considerate that much. If you ever want to resale it, people will buy it!

I've finally slowed down my FFVII collecting because it is pretty expensive, and between the shipping costs, and other priorities, I feel satisfied pumping the breaks now. I mean, I'm sure once S-E releases something relevant to my interest ::coughNeroAndWeissPAKcough:: I will change my mind but I have more than enough collectibles to last me for quite awhile.

 

[ph14basicbitch]

I primarily collected fan merch last year because there wasn't much shinra stuff aside from the office supplies. And now they've made all this new shit... It's never ending.

 

[ChOcOboO]

There really has been a huge surge in FF7 merchandise, and for that I'm grateful; but at the same time yeah, it sure can be overwhelming because you have this urge to collect everything and then they come out with more PAK figures totaling over $300+... right now I am still waiting on my Buster Sword ice tray and 7th Heaven floor mat. Anyone get theirs yet?

 

[ph14basicbitch]

Got my Shinra simp watch.

Spoiler

There were also some other Shinra items released in December:

Spoiler

So excited to be able to tell time as "half past the destruction of Sector 7".

I... don't actually wear watches, nor do I have a phone that uses Qi charging, so everything is decorative lmao.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Looks awesome! Love that watch!

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah the watch is subtle, I like nerdy stuff like that.

 

[Avinacode101]

I’ve been meaning to get the Midgar watch but I think it’s gone from the store now. I do have the Sephiroth chronograph tho, so I’ll just be happy with that. Ugh, trying to keep up with licensed and unlicensed stuff both is hard.

.... You mean the Sephiroth FFVII-R individually numbered watch that was limited to 7 in each region?

The one worth easily $3k+?

That one??

Hell yeah you can be happy with that, it's one of the rarest and most expensive pieces of FFVII merch out there!
