My CLAMP collection, and never ending search~
Hello, Hello~
Just wanted to share my forever growing CLAMP collection. I doesn't ever seem to end xD I guess I was collecting this all my otaku life, so 7 or 8 years xD Chobits was in fact my first series that got me into manga and anime xD and was a great fan of CLAMP since~ my ultimate goal is to collect all the manga they released, on just over 50% atm xD It's a very slow journey since I mostly get them then super cheap of ebay (unless it's a new release like Kobato)
I just wish there was more CLAMP figures... there is so few! it's mostly just prize figures and gashapons ><
Also if anyone has any other CLAMP items I'm missing and is willing to sell please leave a comment~ I'm forever broke but never stops me from getting more and more xD
(particularly looking for missing CCS volumes and MKR II omnibus)
I recently found the MKR dolls and was searching for some around~
Found Hikari for £40/$60 (http://www.castavision.com/RayearthDoll1a.jpg ) is that a good deal? also one missing some parts (http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy207/Fredeboet/sailor%20moon/HPIM0532.jpg for £25/$45. What do u think?
all my CLAMP manga~ on the left in polish (were I originally collected), plus some german and japanese, but mostly english releases~
DVD's~ just got most recently, found some amazing deals on ebay xD
CLAMP in Wonderland!! one of the best get's ever! An for only £4 xD
Artbooks~
japanese, english, polish aaaand chinese @_@ the MKR is actually a chinese release, the seller had no idea what she was selling but i believe it's a perfectly legit copy and dirt cheap xD
Also will soon have all of the Tokyopop Clamp no Kiseki (friend is just giving it to me <3)
they are attached to the wall all over the room so had to make a collage xD the packaging is really nice so don't want to ruin it~
CLAMP in 3-D land, got on sale on HLJ ages ago~ still need so much more from this series ><
and what could be described and my first figure which started my collection~ had her on display for a long time but the packaging is nice enough to keep her in and protect from dust
massive Chii plush, which I got for free from a friend *__* absolutely adore her~ the hair was coming apart thought~ it could easily be glued but I made it into a project and sew it all by hand xD was fun~
also received from a friend~ they are so cute~
extremely old, hand painted cup I got on a convention in Poland when I was about 13 xD didn't realize using and washing it isn't very recommended so the paint came of a bit on the face, but it's still lovely~
aaaand~ it's not a actual CLAMP merch, but my friend knows I'm a great fan and made it for my bday. who can guess what this is?
There was someone in the classifieds section who was selling Clamp in Wonderland figures. I also have some clamp chess sets. Which ones do you need?
they are usually quite pricey off people, im always waiting for a good sale on the sets xD
and i should have all the chess sets soon, since my friend is giving me the full clamp no kiseki collection (the chess only come with this right?) thanks thought~
They were selling them for $5-$15.. I'm not exactly sure what they go for though. Wish you luck on your collecting!
well originally the whole set was about $30, but now they are rare >< found that post~ that some good deals actually may get some xD thanks ^^
Oh I meant the clamp in wonderland figures. I bought a couple chess sets back in the day and they were $30 each lol. Sorry for the confusion. >_<
Really nice collection. I also love Chobits - got manga and want to buy anime :D
CLAMP luuuuuuuuuuuuuuv!
I have a couple things you may like - such as "Mokona no Okimono Kimono" book (your Kobato figure is what the cover looks like)
Also, Mandarake's Hiharu seems a better price - http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-594653.html
if you ever get the chance, track down the Korean version! The box is massive and Hikaru comes wearing the pink "princess" dress already
aah i saw the okimono book before, its just patterns thought? slightly weird, thats why i didnt get it so far xD
but omg thanks thanks thanks! i somehow totally forgot about mandarake xD
nope, its not patterns. Its art and stuff, and Mokona writes about her kimono hobby... over here in the US the book has been released in English lil while back, but mine is the Japanese version
RE: for Hikaru-chan doll, there are armor upgrades sold separately if you can find them. I forget if there's 2 or 1 and then "deluxe" doll wearing her final outfit
ALSO, there is another Rayearth doll line, called "SEGA CharaDoll Selection" - which has a different box but basically same doll, and might be even cheaper (I used to have Fuu-chan from that set)
oooh i see~ thanks for the info ^^ the actually have the english version super cheap on amazon so i might get it now ^___^
aaah yes i was doing some research today and saw the different types, i will keep an eye out on madarake and see what comes up~ eh i would love to have Umi, since she is my fav character but i know she is super rare and hard to get ><
can u buy from YJ? 'cause tehre's a very good Umi deal there right now!
http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w65357420
omg thats an amazing deal! i have no idea how to use YJ thought @_@ dont u need a proxy in japan? i will ask some friends if they know how to use it xD thanks!
yeah, u need to sign up for a service like SMJ or Celga or something ^^;; Wasn't sure if you had something like that
Mandarake had an Umi CharaSelect doll last time I checked too
oohman, this is making me want to go rewatch some Rayearth now!
im looking into services now @_@ its so confusing! i found a service called japamart which i think i can understand xD but i think the auction is ending in 6 hours, dont think i can make it with a proxy on a weekend >< with all those fee's maybe it will be easier to just go for the more expensive mandarake xD
thanks for all the info~!
haha yes i feel like watching again
hi, sorry me again
Since you're collecting so much CLAMP... would u be interested in some manga or toys that I have perhaps? Mine is mostly older stuff - Rayearth, Chobits, ccSakura and whatnot
haha, ur always welcome~
if u have some good cheap offers for me, very likely~ xP ( i just spend way too much on mandarake), maybe contact me on email (freyaamane@gmail.com) cause its not very convinent here ><
Gotta love CLAMP stuff.
over half of my manga collection is CLAMP, got all the kiseki books, complete tsubasa etc
Good luck in your hunt for more always nice to see a fellow CLAMP lover :)
wow, complete tsubasa~ im always waiting for a cheaper deal, buying for full price will kill me quickly xD
but yes CLAMP is the best~ im sold many other manga in my collection cause they just seemed pointless, sticking to CLAMP~ ^__^
if you after manga at a good price best option in the UK is the book depository (easy to find on you google) cheaper than stores and free postage :)
someone posted it above ^___^ looks like a good webiste~ might use it in the future, currently hunting for the ebay £2 manga bargains as always~ xD
Dark Horse Entertainment is releasing alot of the clamp manga in omnibus format. Good time to collect the ones you don't have.
Old stuff:
Clover, Chobits, Magic Knight Rayearth, CardCaptor Sakura.
In the near future they say they will also release Angelic Layer and Tokyo Babalon.
New : Gate 7.
On the other hand, Viz is releasing X in 3-in-1 format.
I order from bookdepository for all my manga these days as they are fairly cheap.
For Clamp stuff I've got:
1) Tsubasa Chronicles 1-27
2) xxxHolic 1-16
3) Kobato 1-4
4) Clover Omnibus
5) Chobits Omnibus 1-2
6) Cardcaptor Sakura 1-2 (out of 4)
7) Magic Knight Rayearth Omnibus 1 (out of 2)
ah i know~ i have the Clover and MKR omnibus, they are just rly difficult to find in UK ><
and i dont quite like how the CSS and Chobits release looks~
but thats a nice collection u have there ^^ particularly envious of the Tsubasa / Xxxholic xD
thanks for the website ^^
The candy collected by Kobato :) LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
yes~ haha im totally in love with this~ nothing much, but probably my fav bday gift xD
Ah I got this!
Very nice collection! I was disappointed with the kobato figure>< they could of done a better job on her
i knoooow! she was my first figure so i thought she was amazing, but getting more i realized her flaws >< the details in her outfit are amazing but her face just isnt right~ cant take good photos cause she always looks cross eyed >< and the scale is just too small~ i still love her forever xD
I only have TWO items of Clamp in my house. The DVD of Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland... and the Manga of Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland. I am not worthy!
=O not worthy at all! xD how can u live without getting any xD its so popular everyone has something xD
...and Miyuki is a super rare get at that xD
I heard. I know both the Manga and the Original run DVD have been long out of print. ^^;
