An Expensive Day
Fri 2010/01/01 06:42 JST
It's New Years Eve, and I had an expensive day of it.
First, I went to the bank and deposited $1,590.00 CDN in CHANGE. (heavy!) :)
Second, Went to the store and dropped $621.46 CDN for a Sony A330 and 4 gig SD card. (taxes included)
Third. I stopped into my anime store and found out they had Hoi Hoi-san in. ($68.00 with tax and 2 Domo-kun's)
Fourth, stopped in another anime store on the way home and they had Figma Miyuki in stock ($56.49 w/tax)
Well worth the money, I say.
Nice part of with the alpha, Sony bought out Minolta/Konika (sp?) camera division, so the lenses from my Maxim 7000 will work with the a330. The kit lens is a 18-55, and I have a 28mm wide angle and a 35-105 zoom already. The flash unit won't fit the alpha, but I'm going to try to find a remote trigger for it.
I didn't notice it in the store, but the lens and super-structure of the camera is a copper finish.
miyuki was not worth buying
Is she fragile?
What's wrong with miyuki?
Overpriced I would assume.
Thats the case for all figures here. what can you do...?
As long they are safe in the box there's no harm. ^^'
Agreed, that price is a bit too much IMHO =/
That does include 14% sales tax, but yeah, the Figma's, Frauleins, and such are getting ridiculously priced in this part of the world. (when you can even _get_ the figure!) <sigh>
That's a hell of a lot of change! Did you have to roll it?!
Yep! Actually, it breaks down like this:
$1000.00 in "Toonies" (2 dollar coins in $50 rolls)
$350.00 in "Loonies" (1 dollar coins in $25 rolls)
$240.00 in Quarters ($10 dollar rolls)
I didn't bother with the nickels and dimes and pennies this trip. :)
Thats what I collected since this time last year.
Nows about the time where you say that all of these were unplanned purchases on your way home from work or something. :P
Nice loot. My bro's got the A300 and is really happy with his and i bought a nikon D3000 recently and an 8GB memory card. Gd times!
Hope you enjoy the world of DSLR. :D
No, this was very planned. (though I wasn't expecting Hoihoi-san to show up today)
I'm waiting for the battery to fully charge before I take some pics. Planing to do a comparison on image quality between the Kodak 7mp point and shoot and the 10.2 DSLR in a later post, like my image armoury.. :)
how much did all that coin weigh!!!?? LOL was it rolled or loose ?? I can't imagine that much coin, I thought my $30 USD was heavy . . . XO
Maybe 20 - 30lbs give or take... and it was rolled. :)
Nice shopping!
I too took some coins to my bank the other day but I didn't have anywhere close to what you got~ Luckily, they have a coin counting machine in the bank so I just dump everything in it~
Hoi-Hoi is BIG! Always thought she was a small figure.
The box is big, but she's not so much. Maybe 7-8" tall in total.
