Sorry Akihito, please don’t get upset *comforts and sneaks an evil grin*
Yeah it is intentionally suggestive LOL~ Since they both arrived at my doorstep on the same day 
Asami Ryuichi~ the smexylicious alpha seme from Ayano Yamane-sensei’s Finder No Hyouteki Series ファインダーの標的 is in my possession now! Mua-hahahaha… well, the folder that is… THANK YOU! AKIYAMA XD *MUACKS* Thanks for the anime magazine too ^^ I had a good time admiring the pics inside (coz I can’t understand most of the text LOL~)
And talking about Medicom’s ProjectBM! Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion Lelouch Lamperouge…
We’ve been scammed by Medicom I tell you! SCAMMED! Where are all the accessories you promised in the marketing text? Damn it! Lelouch came with only one other set of clasped hands. SIgh.
My ~$~ (T_T)
Other than that MAJOR, UNFORGIVABLE flaw of no accessories at all… everything else about Medicom’s Lelouch were quite nice. He has a cute and well-sculpted face (It is probably too much to ask for but I wish they gave us at least ONE exchangable head where he smiles) Sheesh… *rant*
Lelouch stands at about 30cm tall and comes with a transparent base. He wears his school uniform (made up of a top and a pair of trousers) that has a belt and a pair of black shoes. Yeah, they can be removed… kekeke (but I don’t want to do that to Lelouch… yet… (Lulu: Eh??? o_O) hahaha)
They managed to reproduce him rather nicely from the original design and is quite easy to pose with. I can’t take good close up shots, so… maybe next time. Hopefully they really do better with the accessories bit for ProjectBM! Lelouch Zero R2 that will be released later this year. Well, the photos do look rather promising…
Anyway you can still get school boy Lelouch from Hobby Link Japan or HMV Japan (Note: Unless HMV Japan listed the item as “in-stock”, they don’t guarantee you will get the item cos they usually only place the order for you after you submit it.)
Yea…when you want to collect something it surely annoying if you miss something in between.
It’s rational in fact, i mean most of us are really like that. What’s the point of collecting if you’re not gonna get it complete as a whole collection.
Especially if the main reason is a forgetfulness, that ought to pissed you more if you missed it.
But *cheers* you’re still have loaded luck^^
and have to agree that ignorance is a bliss but hard to keep yourself blind too, especially we have internet to keep us informed.
I don’t have an eBay (or any web auction) account. I have several “limited” stuffs which highly regarded in Japan so i probably made lot of money by selling it Yahoo auction but so far i haven’t give much thought about it.
Not becoz i’m sentimental but i haven’t study the rules and tips-trick to sell things online.
Don’t want to make a fool of myself….^^
The most probable conclusion is probably as long as we’re happy with the item, who cares if it’s limited or not.
Phew~ XD
Yeah and now I can’t help but NEED to be informed in case I miss out on something agan, so I subscribe myself to e-newsletters and such. -_- what a vicious cycle.
Mmm maybe you can ask your cousin who is in Japan to help? And probably start with smaller or not so valuable things so that you can get a feel of how people bid. It is good to study auctions of similar items and gauge the demand too. The good thing about Yahoo auctions is that they do not charge any fees for the transactions. However, because of that people may default on their bids. So usually you would check for positive user ratings when they bid. eBay on the other has an insurance scheme which is good but they take a % of your final bidding price. So some sellers try to work around this by offering very cheap prices but charge a high shipping fee to cover their costs (which I personally think is objectionable) I’m stating my general bidding experience with US ebay and SG yahoo auctions. I’m not sure if Japan is the same.
Agrees
How bout if HMV says “For Order- usually instock within 7-15 days”? Is that also guaranteed?XD
Ah~ it’s hard to say, you can give it a try XD they’re usually on time or earlier for their estimated handling for books and CDs! I’m not sure about figures tho. But they don’t charge your credit card unless they ship it to you, so there’s no risk
