Where do I start.

I bought this back in 2012 (pre-ordered in 2011) and was hoping to display it upon receiving. However space has always been an issue and with my otaku days behind me I am letting Saber go. This is a HUGELY reluctant sale.

The figure in this auction is the 2012 (initial-release) variant - not the mass-produced 2017 re-release.

This figure is made by the Good Smile Company of Japan. Saber, as most into anime will know, originates from the Fate/stay night franchise. This Saber figure originates from the Fate/Zero spinoff.

Bought for 11000 yen in Japan, and paid 4200 yen to get her shipped to NZ.

I am selling for LESS than the price I paid for her back in 2012 (not to mention Trademe success fees - urgh). The exchange rate back then wasn't as great as it is now. I have not marked up the price as I want a quick sale; at the minimum I am merely after what I paid for the figure. In that regard, this is a no-reserve auction and I will let the market decide on the final value.

In typical Fate franchise fashion, pre-orders sold out near instantaneously. GSC only recently caved and announced that they will be doing a re-release, but with Japanese currency and taxes having increased since 2012, so has the re-release price (retails for 15800 yen now, not including shipping to NZ). .

Please be advised that this figure is for display and is a collectable; not for children to play with.

GENUINE Good Smile Company product, and it is still fully sealed (never opened). Box is in excellent condition.

Pickup is preferred in Takapuna, North Shore, Auckland. Cash on pickup only please. Can be shipped but be advised it will not be cheap due to weight and size of the set. The shipping cost stated is an estimate.

Questions and sensible offers are welcome
