Pictures Pictures!!

Oh man so proud of myself..i finally completed my task of putting in all the new figurines!

Let's start with a photo taken of each row of my display cabinet, from top to 4th row. (the last row were all my manga..was a bit lazy to lie down to take)

Now for some up-close shots of the new stuff..as my cupboard is SEVERELY cramped..there may be signs of other figurines when i try to do a close-up..just bear with it

Ok i guess that's about it!

ahhh!

i realised it has been a long time since i last posted..hahaha..just finished rearranging my cupboard AGAIN and adding my new figurines in..phew..i didnt know it was so hard to fix them..especially the smaller ones..each nendoroid took me about 5 to 10 minutes, and the figmas took me about 10 to 15 minutes..funniest was the 1/8 miku..i think i got it done in 20sec..hahaha

i'll put the pictures up later..but just for the sake of keeping track, the figurines i had placed inside within the past 3 hours are figma tsukasa and kagami, kagamine rin and len nendoroids, GSC 1/8 hatsune miku, figma fate testarossa, shana nendoroid, 4x HGIF lucky star set 2, 8x figure meister lucky star, kotobukiya 1/6 louise sweet white version..now there's still a fate/zero saber, a small index figurine (not index, touma's schoolmate..i just cant recall the name now), and some free eva figurine i got..ahh..i need more space!

Massively Delayed Update

Been too busy the past few weeks..clearing my ns stuffs..preparing my taiwan trip..settling my uni admin matters..finally all's over and I have some extra time here!

Let me start off with the new stuff I had gotten my hands on! Currently there are no pictures, i will place them here once i upload the photos. Due to the long time lapse from purchase till updating here, i shall try my best to put them in chronological order..

First there's the Zero no Tsukaima's 1/8 Louise, from Kotobukiya, as well as a set of Navel trading figurines. The trading figurines were an ORD gift from my chief clerk, so thank you very much chief!

Next would be a set of trading keychains of characters from Unison Shift. I don't exactly recognise all of them, but yea they look cute, and Nanatsuiro Drops' Sumomo was inside..so why not?

If i remember correctly, the next piece was a Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, from Vocaloid. I did not exactly plan to get this as i had alrady pre-ordered a 1/8 ver of Hatsune Miku, but seeing that Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Ren would be released later this year, i figured perhaps putting the 3 of them together would be nice!

The next set is Da Capo II's girls from Happinet. Its actually just Yume, Minatsu, Nanake and Akane, in either their school uniform and casual wear. There is a slight problem with this set though..as their heads are slightly heavy, they tend to be unable to balance themselves even though i've affixed them to the base plate. I remember coming back from taiwan and finding all of them lying on the glass panel -.- Now i've placed them leaning against the back of the shelf..hopefully it solves the issue. I wonder if there will be a second set released with the remaining cast..hmm..

After this would be the steals from taiwan! I had found Mahou Sensei Negima's Figumate series (vol 1), with Asuna, Konoka, Evangeline, Setsuna and Nodoka in their uniform. I also managed to get the Figure Meister Shana+Nanatsuiro Drops, BOTH vol. 1 and vol. 2! What a steal! And on the last day, i managed to get a display set of the disgaea figurines i've been hunting for so long. Although they are not in mint condition, but hey it's a complete set (minus Plenair..seems to be missing 1 variation of her..)! Now if i can only bring myself to fix them up..they had all been dismembered during the plane ride back to singapore..

And today, in SG Toy and Comic Convention, there's a free piece of Special Edition Mahou Sensei Negima Figumate being given away. It was totally random, and sadly, each person was only entitled to one piece (unless there were people who held multiple convention passports..then it's a different story). But nevertheless, i got a Makie, which was something that my current collection did not have!

After the convention, i went to collect my pre-ordered stuff that arrived - Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru's Takako (Alter) and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS' Figma Nanoha!

Rearrangement of Display Cupboard

Ok i realised with my growing collection, things are getting messier as i keep throwing them into my display cabinet. I finally got time to rearrange them today! The result is this:

New additions include fate/hollow ataraxia vol 2, Rozen Maiden Traumend's Shinku (Yujin SR DX), both of which i got during the KKnM mini event over the weekend, and Peace@Pieces' Nagi. Now i need to find some space to put in my lucky star nendoroids without blocking anything else..hmm..

I also got a Nanatsuiro Drops' clear poster, with Sumomo on it. Now my door looks so much more colorful!

With this done, the next thing on the line will be to sort out my pencil boards and files collection to update into here.

New Additions

Busy week. Finally have some spare time to update.

Firstly, new purchases include a old Dengeki Trading Figurine set, 3x Sylvanian Family trading figures (whee more cats!), and lastly the Comptiq Ver. of the Lucky Star nendoroids! I haven't had time to take pictures yet, but yea will upload once they are ready.

Also managed to get a Clannad file, Shana pin-badge and Dengeki G's Magazine (June 08) from KKnM. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since i last purchase a pencil board/file! The last purchase i remembered was when i passed by M.A.G.E shop, i just dropped by to browse, and viola! i had found quite a number of files i were looking for! Perhaps i will upload pics of all the files/shitajiki i have when i get the time to do so after i ord..hmm..

Later today there will be a 1-for-1 event at KKnM, whereby when a item is purchased, a 2nd item of similar value or lower can be obtained for free..effectively making it a 50% discount. I don't exactly feel like squeezing through crowds these few days, but guess i will have to make it an exception tomorrow..hopefully by the time i get there i am still able to get my shinku figurine..have been eyeing on it for quite..some..time..

Ok time to sign off and sleep..if not i will never wake up early later on today

RapidCulture @ Cineleisure

I would like to bring to attention the above-mentioned shop. I am very impressed with how the owner dealt with his customers, and in this case, me.

I had helped a friend to reserve a piece of figurine, and after 2 delays, he was still unable to come up with enough cash to pay for it. My friend decided that he had to give the figurine up due to financial issues. So on behalf of my friend again, i informed the owner of the situation, but instead of chewing me out, he actually offered to hold the reserved product for my friend until he can afford it! But i felt that it was just not fair to him if he did this as we did not put any down-payment for the reservation of the product, so i told him to cancel the reservation instead so that he could perhaps sell it to someone else instead of just waiting for my friend to accumulate the desired amount.

I am someone who views customer service very seriously, and this shop certainly excelled in it. It is small gestures like this that makes customers return and patronise them again.

To briefly introduce this shop, it's located at Level 2 of Cineleisure. They mainly sell Transformers i suppose, as there are many Transformers merchandise/figures around. But they also do have an assortment of trading figurines and pre-painted scaled figurines available for sale. There are even some shitajiki pasted at the counter, though i never enquired if they are for sale. Perhaps you would like to drop by to have a look should you be a collector!

Pictures Update - Trading Figurines

First up, 4 trading figurines from the series Chi's Sweet Home.

Chi's Sweet Home

The next set consist of Lucky Star Trading Figures, both Vol 1 and 2, but excluding the secrets because i could not manage to get them. Pardon the bad lighting in this shot, as i did not really fiddle around with my flash settings..

Lucky Star Trading Figures, Vol 1 and 2

The next picture consist of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia Figure Collection Vol 1. If you are wondering where is Vol. 2, i did not get them as 1. budget issues and 2. i am only after Rin in that set. Perhaps i would get it once i have spare allowance left over after this month. Ok you may also notice my set of DC P.S D figurines behind..i did not take a shot of those as sadly, it is a VERY incomplete set..

Fate/Hollow Ataraxia Figure Collection Vol 1

Ok now this set of figurines..are neither here nor there..but heck i'll just classify them under trading figurines. First there is Shana and Konoe Fumina from Shakugan no Shana II. I got this from a G'S Anime Festival Magazine..if i remember correctly.. Anyway, they are part of the Solid Works Collection DX Set (you can find more information here http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/95392) . Also there is Nagasarete Airantou's Machi, which i got from a special edition Vol. 5 of the manga. (please disregard the cup that you see behind, it was a gift and i had nowhere else to display)

Shana, Konoe Fumina, Machi
