Do they? all i've seen that's definitely something that had their work somewhere in it is my Strike Witches wall scroll.

90919c here, I'm putting the money to buy a full set on a card today.

>>4183

I goofed and put the wrong amount of money on the card because I was in a hurry.

Guess I'll have to buy them next week.

My set safely in their display case.
Gonna star working on shipping these out, but I can't promise that all of them will be sent out on Monday... there's only so much I can do before the end of the weekend.

>>4192
Payday came and I have some spare dosh, how would I go about ordering a set?

>>4193

All of the first orders were shipped out Mo, Tue, and yesterday. I hope all of you guys on the fence about giving Anon your money are convinced by the first reviews on the blog.

>>4223
I await with trepidation.

Yo. Got mine today. They're rather nice. Many thanks for making this happen.

>>4233
I'm glad you like them!

To everyone on the fence, I'm heading into the next school year and I kind of want my money out of these pins. I'd like to see them gone sooner than later. There's still 50 sets left.

Very nice, though a bit too sparkly for me.

>>4237
On the other hand, they'd make great fishing lures.

"We were unable to verify this credit card. Please check if the information you entered is correct. If the problem persists, please try to enter a different credit card."

It's like some sort of deity doesn't want me to get these.

Fortunately a friend let me borrow their card, and I just sent you an email with all of the details.

The pins came in safe and sound! Didn't expect them to get here this fast at all!!

>>4237
I like to think that they're just the right amount of shine outside of pictures.
>>4243
I aimed to get them out by the end of the month, but USPS is faster than I thought they'd be at First-Class shipping. I hope you enjoy the extra packaging I gave the pins. It took forever making sure there weren't imperfections on each pin and wrapping them up again in TP to keep them from damaging each other in transit.

>>4233
I just want to say, that case is fucking awesome.

>>4192
Where'd you get that display case? Something akin to it would be perfect for the pins.

>>4247
I posted about it in the blog. It's just a tic-tac-toe board with a glass top. It used to have the playing pieces under the glass, but I swapped them out.

I just bought this for my pins.

So this is the slippery slope, huh?

My set just arrived today. They all look great.

The sparkles work exceptionally well on the Orussian pin.

キタ━━(゜∀゜)━━!!

Now I just need to get a case for them.

My case just arrived.

>>4305
Very nice case good sir.

>>4305
by the way, the black on the Karlsland and the blue sections go up and down, not side to side.

>>4308
What?

>>4309
Suomus is oriented like an hourglass, but on my figs of the Karlsland Trio the thin stripes do go on the side. Fuso crescent should point down too.

I see, so it should look like this then?

>>4312
Put the red section of the Fuso one facing left. I've seen the symbol that way more times than not. But yes, the other two are perfect.

>>4313
You are mistaken about Fuso and Karlsland. The crescent should be at the bottom facing up and the highlights for the cross should be on the sides.

>>4314
See also the 8th and 9th pics on http://www.ne.jp/asahi/humikane/e-wacs/ to confirm.

>>4314
Why do I keep seeing it the other way?

The image shows what it looks like the way they're painted on the striker (flight/horizontal), perhaps you see them while the witches are standing/hovering

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

They are simply beautiful.
Here, have another massively over-sized image so you can see just how beautiful they are.

Finally got my thump out of my ass and fixed some display thingy for the pins. Also received my Firstspear doujinshi.

>>4458
Lucky bastard, wish I got vol 01 when I had the chance, suddenly all sold out everywhere now. Brofist for having it.

>>4460
Strange, MangaPal had it in stock when I ordered from them the 13th of September. However, according to their emails, they are closed now.

>>4465

wait CLOSED closed?

>>4469
At least according to the email I received when asked if they would restock the items I wanted (the items was marked as sold out):

-------------------------

We are very sorry to inform you that MANGA PAL web store closed on 1st
Sep and the website will be closed soon.
All of our stocks will be returned to the artists.
In this moment we do not have any plan to reopen it.

Therefore, you are not able to purchase any item using our online system
now.

However, the items you mentioned in your email are still in our
warehouse so if you want to purchase them, we can send you a paypal link.
And after you settle the payment, we will ship the items to you.

Please kindly inform us if you would like to order before 18th Sep.
After that day, the items you mentioned will be returned to the artist.

-------------------------

Now I need to find another store where I can buy the rest of all Africa doujinshi.

>>4471
Well shit. On the bright side, the only reason I found out about the site was due to wanting to acquire the Witches of Africa doujinshi and if they're going out of business now they could possibly be found elsewhere.

On the down side, I need to find somewhere that may have vol 1 and 5.

>>4472
Please let me know if you find any place that sells them.
cdJapan sells some of Nogami Takeshi commercial works, those are quite nice but not bilingual.

Overdue post. Received the pins over a month ago. They're really beautiful and the karlsland one is proudly sitting on my stethoscope. It's a great conversation starter (my colleagues think I'm some WWII nut) and its great for distracting kids in the pediatrics ward (oooh shiny).

Another close up of the pin. Looks really distinctive on the stethoscope, sure beats other doctors with twisty toys on theirs. Only problem is I have to answer inane questions from my consultant about why I'm a nazi. Maybe when I finally have time I'll post pics of the pins with my entire SW stash and figs.

>>4512
Oh you sneaky bastard...

>>4512
That's actually pretty damned awesome.

>>4513
I can't wait till I one day get a doctorate and have Strike Witches stuff scattered about my office.

>>4513

nazi doctors don't have the best reputation....

also on an unrelated note, any more word on manga pal? the store is still up and it is still up and it is october... also i cannot find anything on their site about a closure.

>>4519
I also find it strange that it's still up. I can however not find any reason why they would lie about that. Try sending them a mail?
Heck, I would buy the rest of Firstspears work from them if I Could.

ok, just to make sure, i -think- that sphinx ends at 5 but i am not sure...

I mean if manga pal is going tits up i want to ensure I already have the ones I care about...
