November Loot
This probably my biggest month this year, which is a bit surprising since I didn't go to a convention or Japan. I had my regular pre-orders for shows I am currently watching but unfortunately a friend of mine was in Japan for a few weeks and I gave her my want list for some older shows and unfortunately she found a lot of the stuff. This was really bad for my wallet because it was a unforeseen expense, but a lot of these are harder to get here in the US so I can't regret it.
I guess it's the season to be giving...to oneself?... ^^;;
I'm a huge Macross F fan so I was happy that it was on the cover for a lot of the mags that I usually get (probably because the movie came out this month). The Newtype Voice came with a shitajiki of the 3 main seiyuu and the Animage came with a Megahouse charm
A lot of these my friend sent to me from Japan and they were pretty cheap...but shipping totally killed...
Couldn't resist getting the mahjong set since it was 50% off in amiami and it was also my excuse to try out their store. Now I just need to learn how to play.
Even with 2 boxes of the K-on! PPP I couldn't get a complete set. If anyone has extras and wants to trade let me know /// With this I'm finally complete with all my Lucky Star figma. I was pretty late with the whole Lucky Star and Figma thing so it's been really hard backtracking trying to find the older releases.
woow :O
congrats! amazing loot :3
especially Lucky star vs. Macross set! :3
Thanks! Yea love that set. It's super cute.
Where on earth did you get those wonderful Azumanga Daioh figures! Never seen those before.
These were released quite a while ago..I believe around 2001...but I was a poor student then so no way I could afford it, especially at 9000 yen a piece...

But a friend found them for about 4000 yen a piece in Japan
Damn!
Hats off to you, my friend.
Holy crap, that's a lot of stuff! No wonder shipping was painful. The sheer volume is staggering. I hope you have recycling in your area for all that packaging.
Come to think of it, how much was the shipping?
Not all of it was shipped by my friend. A lot of the stuff I ordered from stores like HLJ etc, so I could use SAL. But the stuff she did send was by EMS..and it was about 9600 yen...
Still, it's money well spent.
What's that big box of Shin Koihime Musou? Is that the visual novel game, or card game, or something else?
It's actually figures made by Volks
Here are some closer pics:

Candy boy!!! I want those!!!
awesome how much did you spent there ???
i don't want to know...lol.. ^^;
is that dollfie sized rayearth armor ? fantastic!
unfortunately it's not. it's for the 1/6 dolls Sega released a long time ago..i have been doing a lot of nostalgia buys lately...i haven't delved into dollfie dreams just yet..
oooo i see. still really awesome. rayearth just doesn't get enough love.
OMG that what I call loot. so lucky.
WOW! I want that Lucky Star plush kitty! =^_^=
LOL, Ranka overload!
I totally need a friend in Japan as well. To send me awesome stuff, and to practice Japanese with.
if you're still a student i recommend doing an exchange program or study abroad. easily the best time i had in college was studying in japan.
how do you have that much money....

thanks for the links on how to play!!!!
Wow, amazing loot you got there :D
Wow that's a rare one to find, the Konata cosplay version, anyways nice loot.
Oooh, what is the Angelic Layer thing?
It's actually a doll. I'm too lazy to open it up, so I found a pic of it online:

The Hikaru is actually much better:

But they're both fun dolls since technically they're 1/1 scale
Wow, I always wanted those Azumanga Daioh figures, but too expensive due to the fact that they are resin.
WHOA!!! macross F fan!! ( i like the figure & a Ranka illustration book!!)..but i see something...a "red armor Hikaru shidou"?? i never seen that before?? but nice ^|||^
yea, they made those years ago. they made armor and other costumes for the sega dolls for the show. i guess i'm re-living my childhood by buying a lot of these nostalgia items since i couldn't afford them as a kid.
wow, you did you buy out the store.
wow that's a lot. Did you sell a kidney or something :P
no, just my soul...
well, you certainly got more than you bargained for for one soul. If I sell mine can I get the same package too? :P
Wow that is some great stuff. Especially the Azumanga Daioh figures>.<
Love the Lucky Star X Macross figs! Great haul, you're definitely in the holiday spirit!
amiami doesn't ship overseas right? so how did u get the mahjhong set? my friend wants one too
AmiAmi opened up an English site recently to sell stuff to international customers (http://www.amiami.com/shop/?set=english ).
This would be the Saki mahjong set (http://www.amiami.com/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=CGD-3706&template=default/product/e_display.html ).
Yes, they do.
Ah, it's so hard to not get jealous when coming to figure.fm everyday! I wanna know how much that must have cost!
Have all those Figmas already, and the Biri Biri figures as well really need to track down those Saki figures and the Lucky Star X Macross set when I go to Japan.
Wow, that's probably more than I've bought all year!
That's a huge loot! ^^
Like the fact you got Yukino a
and Kanade! (Sorry, fumbled with the Enter key.)
azmanga figure 3 set 4200yen??P{:"|???
very very cheap!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.T
This...this is madness!! I whish you luck with not being able to eat for a year now :P
Wow, nice haul my friend!
I'm surprised you managed to get the Haruhi cosplay Konata figma still. I got mine when I went to Akihabara back in May 2008 and even then it wasn't so easy to find. It's great I see you got some of those special flavour Kit-Kat's too lol. I brought back some myself including the Green Tea flavour which literally was green in colour XD
my friend was able to find the haruhi cosplay konata figma in some store in akiba for $45. i think this was a good price, rite? but yea tracking down all these older figma releases is pretty hard. i still want the makina figma but it's just impossible to find.
yes i love the special flavor kitkats! i wish they would import more flavors here in the US. My local Japanese market gets some on occasion but never the more "interesting" flavors. The ones pictured above are: green tea, vegetable, ginger ale, kinako and corn (which was surprisingly very good and my new favorite flavor!)
huge loot! , i envy you T^T
So. Much. Loot. *_*;
A plane of HLJ and HS goods probably exploded over your house lol.
hahahahaha! i wish that would happen for real
That's a BIG LOOT XD
I want that Sakaki Azumanga figure, I spotted her a few times on auctions but didn't get to buy her yet.... lucky you!
yea i really love that figure too. i was lucky to have found those and it was totally a nostalgia buy.
Now that is a good haul! Man I wish I could afford that Lucky Star Macross Set! ONE DAY!
The main thing that stands out for me is the Lucky Star cosplay set, though amongst all the other things it almost pales in comparison to the entire thing, what an amazing loot @_@
I'm so jealous! I want your ShizNat figures!!!!!
I APPLAUD YOU! BEST TO SPOIL SINCE YOU EARNED IT!! ^_^
/jealous of your K-ON! ppp's XD
I want this!!!!
The Lucky Star set is the best :)
OOOOOOOOOH! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!
mion! :D
