First, welcome to the forums!

Second, if you're going to post on a regular basis, you really need to work on your grammar and spelling. We don't expect perfection on that but we do expect posters to at least make an effort. (And I'm correcting your thread title to reflect that, BTW.)

As to your question, if you're talking about a resin kit for Melfina, good luck. To my knowledge those were never available outside of Japan and are long out of stock in the one Japanese store I could find that advertised in English. You might luck across one at an anime convention sometime, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

If you're talking about just Melfina figurines, though, then you should be able to find places in the States that carry them on a general Google search for "Outlaw Star Melfina figurine." I know Amazon carries them.

The chances of you finding one: getting struck by lightning first.

this Melfina resin figure was the only official one licensed as a figure. There is a toy which features Melfina with Gene in a toy (on Amazon), but certainly not resin.

I've seen one of these hit ebay about 5 years ago, and the starting price was $500 used (way too rich for me at the time).

Secondly, you'll be in line behind me because I've been looking for this thing for well over 5 years... and I still don't have it.

Good luck in your search. You're certainly going to need it.

So do you truly need help finding kits or did you join this forum to brag about your newly acquired bootleg? Wink

You should cancel that order stat. No way in hell you got a legit for that price.

My words were stated in humor. I mean, chances are you could find a legitimate figure before me. However, it's been years and I still don't have one.

As for your purchase, I'm also very concerned you just got ripped off. As I said, this figure goes for much more than $120. You could be lucky, I suppose.

The price, for starters. If the deal is too good to be true, chances are, it is.

Also, ask for pictures and be absolutely sure there's a personal message in the picture, like "Taken for vilmaxiii" so you know it's not a rip-off of another picture.

Uh.... yeah.

Just a minute ago you didn't want to give the sellers name in case someone else baught it first and now ur willing to ask the seller if he has any more. Forgive me if this smells a little like you trying to con people on this forums into buying $120 kockoffs. Sorry if that isn't the case. But seriously you fit the pattern. All you need to do is offer to act as an "intermediary" between your "mysterious seller" and youre "good friends" at the Anime forum. And I will be absolutely certain.

Then again sometimes an innocent offer is simply an innocent offer. So sorry if I am wrong.

I'd think a lock would be best myself. The thread creator has already found the "kit" he was looking for (even if it is a boot), so there's not much purpose left for this thread.

no im not trying to sell them. any way im pretty sure he flaked on me i sent payment 2 days ago and them paypal messaged me saying funds have ben returnd to my account and the seller will not anser my emails and phone calls.. Crying or Very sad wonder if he was leing or if someone came along with a higher offer..
i didnet want to spill the beans at first but then i was tring to solidify my claims and see if any one herd of the shop before..
oh well it was to good to be true. i hope no one snaged it from me.. if they did i wish it to rain litteral cats and dogs on them lol Rolling Eyes

so i guess time to get looking again...
