Ooooooooh!!! Alter is going to re-release the Saber Maid and the Saber Alter Maid!!! The Saber Maid was initially released in September 2007 (5 years ago!) and the Saber Alter Maid was initially released in May 2010. Both of them were sold like hotcakes. For those who missed them back then, it’s your chance to get both of them now!! =D
This Saber Atler Maid is Hobby Channel exclusive. You can order her at Hobby Japan Online Shop HERE with your proxy service from February 25 to March 31, 2012.

they are releasing both again?
obvious cash-in, lol
but it’s a good thing since alot of people missed out
though people who bought this previously are probably not happy as the value just halved
It’s good though as you say a lot of people always miss out on models they want, and most times the chance never comes again
I remember having ordered this on Otacute during her first release but ended up giving my spot to someone else because her delay threw off my purchasing schedule and I couldn’t pay for her. :-/
Since I now have a personal rule of never buying any figure over $83, I won’t get her this time either. ^^”””
Where is the magic number “83” comes from??
Most expensive figure i’ve gotten was $82, so I just went a dollar above that. Shipping price adds well above that though so i’m mostly getting my figures from store sales or just prize figures.
Can someone list any trustable proxy services please?
A friend of mine got his through tenso.com when it was originaly released. He had a little trouble though because they moved their warehouse and he had to change the adress. The only way to do that was to write to hobbyjapan’s customer service, which he had to do in japanese.
But Tenso’s customer service is very reliable and if you can’t write in japanese, all you need to do is e-mail them with your problem and they will send you the text you have to e-mail to hobbyjapan for them to change the adress. HJ accepts foreign credit cards, you’ll have no problem with that.
The one at AmiAmi isn’t this version. This version is only available, as the post indicates, from Hobby Japan’s online store. The only way for you to get it, if you don’t live in Japan, is through the use of a proxy, unless you know someone living there who can purchase it for you.
That being said, if you want it as much as I do, just order via a proxy. The price will be a bit more [the price off of the store directly is 8,000 yen], but it’s not marked up terribly high. I got mine secured through Big in Japan for 9,400. They come highly recommended.
Tokyo Hunter is another good site, but unfortunately, they’re sold out.
You’re right, I accidentally read the other post and skipped the text when I commented on this one.
I think this one is much better the saber maid,because of the face and the color,the face of saber maid with a smile is so funny for a cool girl saber,but this one saber alter maid seems a bit subtleties and complacent,although with a mop not a sword,but still arrogance ,and for the alter work no worry at all so already ordered!!! lol!!
