Hi everyone! I'm having trouble finding a place that has Altrene in stock for less than $100. I was wondering if anyone could could recommend any good sites to find her in stock. Because I live in the US, KonamiStyl.jp unfortunately isn't an option for me. I'll be very grateful for any help anyone can provide. If you know a good site to get her, could you please either send me a message or post? Thanks everyone!

Everywhere I looked was backorder or sold out, but here's what I found in case you haven't been there.


You can backorder her here. I can't guarantee anything but they usually can get stuff it just takes a bit longer.

At AmiAmi she's temporarily sold out, but if you keep an eye on it, she'll probably come back in stock. Maybe.

Not familiar with how backorders work there as I've never done it. But..

And I'm very sorry I could be more helpful but I tried :3 I would watch these places at the very least to see if she comes back in stock, as they're reliable stores. I'm sure she'll show come back in stock at places if you can hold out for a while. I had the same problem at first when she was released but luckily they got another shipment of her about a week later.

^ Altrene is grayed out at amiami, meaning they are pretty sure they can't get any more in. Otacute is probably your best bet. Boss Yuhei is pretty good about being able to get hard to find stuff back in stock.

I'll swing by Yodobashi tomorrow and see what they have. I was thinking of getting one myself. Surely they don't sell for that much!

*EDIT*

No Altrene, but they did have others. They go for at the most 2600yen and the cheapest 1900yen that's about $30 and $22 respectively. I'll keep looking.

I was in the same boat. I wound up snagging my Altlene from eBay (with the bonus helmet as well). I think I saw a few on there in the same price range (as well as much, much higher), so it's always worth a look there if you can't find her anywhere else.

eBay's no good. There's only one on there for $300.

If you don't mind proxies, you can always check around Yahoo Auctions and buying it from a proxy. The price will probably reach around 100 bucks in the end, but better than ebay's 300.

Was looking at the Shinki listings on eBay just recently.

Looks like today is your lucky day.
