Fall 2009 figure loot = Christmas in Fall.

The other week I received Christmas in Fall (a huge box from UPS…or Fedex one of those companies) and inside contained Saber Lily, Izayoi Sakuya, and Reisen Undongein Inaba. Lets cut to the pics shall we?

Gamer ADHD???

oo oo ooo so many games!!

Yes I have been watching Kimi ni Todoke aka “Mamiko Noto the show”.

A lack of posts (once again) because all of my professors decided to have tests within a one week span. But I also blame the lack of posts on: nothing really to talk about, my laziness, and my self proclaimed disease of “Gamer ADHD”. I’m pretty sure you all know the flurry of games that recently came out: Borderlands, Dragon Age, Atelier Annie, Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2 etc. Soon there’s also gonna be Left 4 Dead 2. Please Video Game Gods, have mercy on my poor college student budget!

I forgot to pre-order the Atelier Annie Premium Box (busy busy) and now that shit's going for 100+!!!

Fall figure pre-orders

So while I haven’t been blogging a whole lot, I have been able to keep up with my figure pre-ordering habit. Truthfully this habit is gonna hurt come December when the bulk of my figure pre-orders come. I’ve had to cancel a few figs in order to be able to buy others. Of course as usual I get my orders from Toyslogic or Hobby Search.

Not me, Masami Obari.

So for the remainder of the year this I got these coming:

My new room

So it’s been a while since the last post. Semester has been a real pain in the but and whatnot. Decided to change my major to IT (I couldn’t stick with MIS anymore cause it…you know…doesn’t exist at my University anymore), so I have to deal with the pre-requisites for the College of Computer Science. I might be in school for another year but everything is fun. C Programming is a lot of fun, minus when the prof gives us an assignment he knows we can’t do just to fuck with us (Awesome professor though).

So my room. It’s about 15 times larger than the room I had at the dorms and slightly smaller than the room at my parents house. I’m using a twin bed just for space purposes (though that doesn’t seem to be the problem), and I hope to fill in the empty space you are about to see with a coffee table to do work and a lounge like chair to read my books and manga. Not really satisfied with the arrangement right now so I’ll probably change it. However I finally have a case to store my figures which is what I’m most proud of.

Aozaki Toko

So the previous weekend I received my Aozaki Touko (or Toko) and I was pretty excited to unbox it. The quality by Alter just surprises me sometimes, maybe cause I don’t buy too many Alter figs. Oh well I will be buying more now. The figure comes with interchangeable heads, a VERY small cigarette attachment, and a desk chair with swiveling wheels (for what purpose I don’t know). The base also has in almost invisible font “Kara no Kyoukai”, gotta angle it or shine a light on it to find it.

Final Boss: Summer classes defeated. New Game + 2 weeks of summer vacation

It’s over!!! It’s finally over!!! I was getting SO sick and tired of German grammar!!

yay!

Now that summer classes are over I am 10000% less stressed and moved into my new apartment. My room is very desolate right now with only my computer desk and my bed. I’m looking to put a display case or two for my figs, a bookcase for my games, manga, etc, and a dresser. The dresser is not really needed but it would be nice, mainly focusing on the display case and bookcase. Will post pictures once everything is set up.

Other than relaxing I haven’t been doing much. Been playing Fat Princess but my PS3 just pulled a “can’t read discs” problem so I need to send it in for repairs. If you want to play some Fat Princess with me send me a friend request on PSN and we’ll play. Can never have enough warriors to rescue our plump maiden.

FEEEDDD MEEEE

Back home packing some stuff to bring to my place. I hope I can fit everything into my car.

Here’s my games and dvds I have packed so far:

packed tight as sardines with games and dvds.

I got still got my books, mangas, figures, and some clothes to pack. Just a little bit more to pack heh.

In other news I found a pleasant surprise when I came home yesterday.

Back on track, new fig pre-orders

Summer Time!! GAME ON!!

SUMMER IS HERE!!!
Well final exams week is finally over and I am happy as a motherfucker. I have a little bit over a month of free time as I will be taking Summber B classes that will start around June 29. During this time I hope to write all that I have been saving up this last month or so. So to start back on track I’m just gonna write a really simple post about what figs I have pre-ordered for the rest of the year.

So pre-ordering figs is a pretty easy task as all it requires is the click of a button once I figure which ones I want, when they release, and how much they will cost. So this is my current loot table for summer/fall:

Saber Lily Distant Avalon (I simply cannot wait for this to arrive!!!)

So pretty~

Katsura Hinagiku

H-I-N-A: HINAGIKU!

There’s a few more I’m eying at the moment but they aren’t in stock yet, I’ll make a new post for those. Recently after joining the Toyslogic forums I found out 2 awesome things.

1. Toyslogic is now using a VIP Membership Program. Basically when you spend money the purchase goes towards your VIP membership:

Bronze for $500 1% discount
Silver for $1000 3% discount
Gold for $3000 5% discount
Platinum for $6000 6% discount

Once you get Gold+ you start having awesome benefits. More info within the thread.

2. I found out about a nifty site called Figure Tsuki where much like MyAnimeList you can keep track of what figures you own, have on pre-order, or wish to have. Very helpful and also gives you a giant gallery of figs to browse through along with pricing and date of release. Try to guess what my user name is lol.

Well that’s it for now, we will not continue with our “Irregular” schedule. Next post will definitely be about the anime season I swear!

March Type Moon Loot

Towards the end of February/ beginning of March I was just browsing around on ebay to see if I could buy some cheap Aria art books (I did buy one but that didn’t come in yet so nothing to write about). While I was at it I also browsed for some Type-Moon stuff and man what a browse that turned out to be! I snagged myself a Type-Moon 2009 calendar and Tsukihime Art book”Dokuhon Plus Period”. The calendar was $22.99 after shipping and the art book was $22.75 after shipping , the art book price was also being sold at 70% off (I have no idea why) so I clicked immediately. All in all paying $45.74 is a steal especially considering how hard it is to find these items; the calendar being sought after and new, the art book because it’s out of print and hard to get.
So enough about how much of a Type-Moon fag I am here’s some pics, I don’t have a scanner and they are kind of a large file size because I left my camera at home so I had to use my friends camera. Oh well, better resolution is better right?

Miss January is Saber Lily

I just love the look of Saber Lily, refined and pleasing yet kick ass at the same time.

Megacon and Books

Megacon came and went, and now it’s time for a post. I haven’t posted in a long while, so I’ll make this a big ‘un. Curryninja’s post on Megacon made me decide I should make one, too. 

Megacon, the pinnacle of anime related events for me during the year. It was good this year, but not the best it could’ve been. I’ve noticed a disturbing trend which has been causing this decay; the lack of diversification. 

In years past at Megacon, I could find semi-obscure things here and there thoughout the convention.  Items from Mushishi, Kino no Tabi, and other series when they were still just being released in Japan. This year I did find some Spice and Wolf and Aria items, but nothing past that. It seems that slowly but surely, all other anime that isn’t Bleach, Naruto, Death Note, FMA, One Piece, or (now) Soul Eater is being phased out. This really has been putting a damper on it all for me.  I mean, I still do find lesser known things, just not in the quantity I once did.

This has also been accompanied with a more annoying fanbase every year. Before, the Naruto and FFVII cosplayers were expected in great number. But they weren’t super annoying, just everywhere. Now, the new thing is “free hugs,” “you lost the game,” and dressing up like a retard. It’s a very rage inducing thing to behold, and I don’t see it getting any better anytime soon. It’s hard to say how annoying they are, you have to experience it.

 But, despite these bitchings, I had a lot of fun. Sunday I was a bit hung-over, but enjoyed it nonetheless. It was good to go with some friends and an almost-but-not-really-but-I’m-trying-girlfriend.  A speeding ticket nailed my money supply for buying loot. But I still made out with some good booty. And here it be:
