How to cure a severe influx of money

By spending lots and lots of it, that's how! Over the last three or so days, I got these from my postie:

Lovely stuff! I've been looking for a Len to complete my Vocaloid nendos (not counting Hachune and Racer Miku's). I don't care much for his music, but man he has a keytar. Drossel is awesome. If you don't know who she is, look it up, watch it, thank me later. Black Rock Shooter is one of the nicest Nendoroids that has come out in a while, really well made and with lots of goodies.

Len with his super happy smiley face. Should probably have played with his arms a bit, he's looking a bit camp :)

Len got his hands on an early copy of Rock Band 3.

I love how BRS's stand works. Nendoroids have had some horrible fiddly stands (especially the kind that Len and Drossel have, the pincer like ones). I really hope that the extendable arm thing becomes the standard, unless of course you have one of those nice ones that hides under the characters dress like with the Touhou set... I'm rambling.

I don't care that she doesn't do this in the anime, it's awesome. I think I will have her and Dead Master doing this together once she arrives.

A copy of the Black Rock Shooter OVA, which I wasn't expecting to come with it. I already bought the DVD/Blu-ray combo with the petits, so looks like I'll have a spare :3

Drossel looking a bit plain and simple in this one. She comes with a whole load of head accessories, I just couldn't be bothered to mess with them at this point xD I'll sort that out when I have a minute at uni :P

Fact: This nendoroid is awesome just for the light up head. Shocking stuff.

These are my spoils of war. All of this was bought while I was home from university, which must be just under four months. Luckily I had a well paid job during this, or else I probably wouldn't be eating, let alone using the net. I'm not even going to guess how much this cost me, but in summary I bought:

22 Nendoroids, with another 15 on order
10 Nendoroid Petits, with another 22 on order (plus I'm still debating the K-On! set...)
1 Super awesome Taiga figure
2 Small, yet still awesome Chii figures (not in the picture)

Regrets? None at all :D Will it stop at uni? It should, but it won't!

    ...and when you're not spending money yourself, you try to get others to spend. :P

    I suspect you'll collect all the Nendoroids before I do the same with Figmas. You're a little bit ahead of me already.

      Well I'd like to think that I will only be buying the ones that interest me, rather than all of them :P But who knows.

        I doubt buying ALL is realistically possible or worth doing it :p
        I mean you'd have to buy all those different versions of Lucky Star Nendoroids.

    If you stick with just collecting nendos you should be fine. Enter the Dollfie world like I did and welcome to brokeville, lol.

      It would be interesting if I did start. My mum already calls my Nendoroids 'dollies', so it would stunt half of the banter :P

    22 Nendos + 10 Petits in 4 months?! That's impressive! So which one is your fav?

      I don't think I could decide between Black Rock Shooter, Fate and Snow Miku. They are all so good :3

    Wow! That's a lot! From which website did you get your Len from? Or was it from a store?

      I actually snagged him from a user at MyFigureCollection for a reasonable price :P Can't say I had much luck finding him in a store.
