I bought these early in December because I had some points that were going to expire.  I ended up getting almost 2400 yen discount, which basically gave me free shipping (which isn't too bad considering manga is heavy to ship).

Now I just need to find some of those special editions of the No Regrets Japanese manga....

I love Japanese manga:  they're just so much cheaper than the English equivalent (even with shipping)!  I've already spent twice as much on the English Attack on Titan Manga, and I don't even have the same number of books!

I bought Eren when I bought Mikasa during Anime Island's Black Friday sale.  I figured I might as well since I wanted him and he was cheaper than usual.  Now I just have to buy Armin and the cleaning version of Levi, and my set will be complete (until more characters are made).

Unlike Mikasa, Eren is the English version (as seen by the Funimation sticker).  I thought it was kind of interesting that I was sent two different versions, especially since they were from the same company.  That that it matters one way or the other.  I compared Eren's height to Mikasa's (just to see if they were the same height), and he's actually a little taller.  It's not noticeable, though.

I've been wanting to collect the other Attack on Titan Figmas after buying Levi, but they've just been so expensive (like $55+)!  So when I saw that Mikasa was on sale during Anime Island's Black Friday sale, I pretty much bought her without hesitation.  She ended up being about as much as Levi with the sale, so it was a good deal!

Even thought I bought Eren along with Mikasa, I ended up getting the Japanese version of Mikasa, and the English version of Eren.  Also, I'm happy to report that Mikasa is indeed taller than Levi, though not by as much as she should be.  Oh well.

Attack on Titan: Manga: English Volumes 1-9, 14, and No Regrets 1-2

I love Attack on Titan, so I decided to collect the manga even though I'm not a huge fan of it (I don't think the art is as good as the anime--I do like the No Regrets art, though).  I wish it was an inexpensive as the Japanese version, though.  Of course, including shipping, both versions might be around the same price.

01/11/15 Update:  I bought volumes 3-4 and 14 in early December, and received volumes 3-8 and No Regrets 2 for Christmas.  I'm only four volumes short of having the whole set (of volumes that have been published in English, at least)!

This was an expensive box set, but I really wanted to get the art box (and I didn't know how limited it would be)!  It was well worth the money in any case.  The dub actually isn't too bad, and it's nice to have the fixed animation instead of the tv version that's on Netflix.

After becoming a fan of Attack on Titan and seeing this figurine for pre-order on Amazon, I immediately placed an order.  I really wanted Eren, but he was like $55 at the time, and I just didn't want to spend that much (fortunately, I found him for $40 during the 2014 Black Friday sale--I'm glad I waited!).

I'm so amazed at the quality of this figurine.  The plastic that was used has a softness to it that the Bandai S.H. Figuarts line doesn't have to it.  His jacket especially is made of such soft plastic that it actually moves (which is nice for those poses where the triggers are placed in their holsters).  The exchangeable parts also attach and detach very easily (though the hands still make me nervous, just like the S.H. Figuarts line).  He comes with a lot of parts as compared to the S.H. Figuarts line, but I guess that's to be expected with the 3DMG gear.
