Haul

Another haul, actually my hauls have been too frequent lately, I almost maxed out my credit card. A lot of my orders were delayed, and suddenly all the delayed items came in! AND the items that were due to arrive this month all arrived on time! So it made for a very intense month, this was part of the reason why I decided I shouldn’t expand my collection so quickly. I’m a bit wiser now though and I have less pre-ordered these days, I admit I was stretching my “allowance” too thin to buy figures I really didn’t need.  Ah…the love I feel for certain characters often blinds me when I hit that pre-order button! I’m also working on overcoming my urge to complete EVERY set of figures that I own one or two from.

I should note I don’t post these hauls to show off, I just personally LOVE posts where people post their newest goodies and I like to reciprocate that on my own blog. I’m doing to you, what I would want done to me! I always appreciate photos of awesome anime objects, even if they’re objects I’ve decided that I should not try to buy ($$$) like gorgeous Dollfie Dreams, Limited items, and Volks figures!

Sephiroth

But I love everything in this haul and don’t regret any of these items, I’m practically doing back flips over getting the New Line Revy. I’ve always liked this Sephiroth figure, but the MSRP was way off from what I wanted to pay for it! Found it on sale for $42 and just had to get it, I laughed that I had to peel a $120 price tag off it. I do really like it and Sephiroth is a badass character…but no way am I paying that much for that scale and quality! Also I really like the Kotobukiya Yoko, I love the pose and scale. Not to mention the Asuka/Rei Maid set, Kotobukiya usually does great justice to the Evangelion duo. I’m putting up 4 new shelves this weekend and I plan on most of this haul going on them. I also bought extra supports to stop the bowing on my current shelves.

TV

A bit unrelated BUT at the same time completely related since this is my portal to anime! Bought a Mitsubishi-60″ Class 1080p 120Hz DLP HDTV. Best Buy had/has a deal where you can buy a TV with no interest charged for 3 years if you qualify for the credit card. My bf and I decided to split the cost of this TV and make sure we’re done paying at the end of that 3 years so we don’t pay interest, we can achieve that by paying only $37 a month total between the two of us. Sharing such expensive objects between two people make them so affordable it’s insane. It also helps that the economy is currently a buyer’s market. We bought our first TV through a no interest 2 year program and finished paying it off a few months ago so I know we’ll be responsible with this too.

watching TV-1

Having this as our new main TV means great things for me because now we own 2 TVs! It means that when I’m watching shoujo anime or playing video games and he wants to watch something else we can separate and each do what we want. He had been nudging me towards this TV for a while now, the final straw that pushed me to agree was when I was watching Lovely Complex and he laughed from behind his laptop at what I was watching. I get real embarassed when someone makes fun of the shoujo series I’m watching or reading, you might even call it one of my buttons.

SMT DDS2-1

On a side note for video games I’m real happy that I was able to buy Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 brand new on Amazon for $30! It was the last Shin Megami game that I didn’t own but wanted. I didn’t buy it before because people were asking a bit too much for the game for my tastes. But it seems Atlus printed more copies for Amazon like they did for Persona 2, Nocturne, and Digital Devil Saga 1.
