Can anybody save me from an eBay addiction?
I haven't gotten around to putting those Petit Chara Moon and Mercury figures up for sale at eBay yet -- need to get boxes so I can estimate what shipping is going to cost, so my current offer still stands until I list them -- but I've certainly been doing a lot of window shopping the past couple of days. (And some actual shopping -- picked up the Venus figure from the same set at a fairly decent price and currently debating the Tuxedo Kamen figure, which is more than I ideally want to spend, but it seems like he's the rarest so I should probably get it while I can.) Oh, man, I want EVERYTHING! I keep reminding myself that Christmas is coming up and I need to save my money to buy gifts (and possibly get some things from Right Stuf's annual holiday sale), but it's so hard! Just look at some of this stuff:
A bag with Nehelenia and the Amazoness Quartet! If I didn't already have an identically shaped bag with Pegasus on it that I got for my last birthday, I would so be picking this up. I don't need another hobo bag, especially when I don't use the one I already have...but it's FREAKIN' Queen Nehelenia. *whimpers* I want... (That reminds me, it would be amazing if Megahouse put out a set of Dead Moon Petit Charas (plus Helios, of course). They've put out a Black Moon set, so it's not like villains are totally out of the question. I would be willing to import a set like that.)
They're ALL cute, but you guys know the one I really want. (And if you don't, then you don't know me at all. :P)
My dream piece of Sailor Moon merchandise is this super-rare life-size Stallion Reve, but $930 is just a tad too expensive for my blood, so this little keychain would be a nice substitute. It's possible that my sister may be giving this to me as a birthday or Christmas gift, so I'm not buying it right now, but I probably will get it eventually, one way or another.
Old toy, but I have all the senshi plus Tuxedo Kamen from this set, minus Venus for some reason, so I'm really tempted to get her. Unfortunately, I only have until later tonight before the sale ends, and I'm not sure if I want to pay $20 for her... Maybe another will pop up later.
Kaleido Star mini-posters! My guess is that they came with the single DVDs, but since I just have the boxsets, I don't have them...and I NEED them. They're really cheap, too -- it costs more to ship them than to buy them -- so it's likely I'll get them. (Edit: Just bought them! And got them for even cheaper, since the seller was nice enough to accept my $2 offer. If the shipping wasn't as high, I would have gladly paid their original price. Seriously, though, you could send those in an envelope for a lot cheaper...)
To complete my Cherry Project collection... This is another thing my sister's friend might have picked up for me when she went to Japan, but seems less likely since it's so old. I may just have to ask my sister straight out if this is one of my gifts so I don't miss out.
Aren't these just the cutest figures you've ever seen? *squee* Actually, Crunchyroll has this set for pre-order for only $36, which is a LOT cheaper than I've seen elsewhere, so I'm really, really, really tempted.
*hyperventilates* Figure skating Usagi! Figure skating Usagi! If I was ever to decide to purchase a cell, my first choice would be one with human!Helios -- maybe one from the scene where he talks to Prince Endymion in Elysion or any scene where he interacts with Chibi-Usa would be fine, too -- but my second choice would be any of the girls in the skating dresses that they wore in that first season episode, which is one of my favorites. Oh, dang it, why did I go looking at cels? Now I really want this one... No, I'm not going to get it. Cels are too expensive a hobby to get into, and it's hard to tell if they're even legitimate (although this one looks pretty legit to me).
Plus, a lot of other stuff! Man, I need to win the lottery or something.
In other news, Shirobako is AMAZING! Even though it was from the Fall 2014 season, which was the season that I watched a hundred shows, it somehow managed to completely slip pass my notice. I guess because at first glance it looked like one of those "cute girls doing cute things" type of shows, which I actually do tend to like on occasion, but like I said, I was already watching a hundred shows at the time. (Okay, more like maybe fifteen?) Anyway, it's actually not that type of show at all (although the five central girls are pretty cute). Instead, it's a semi-realistic look at everything that goes into making anime, and it's absolutely fantastic. It really made me appreciate just how much work goes into creating the shows I love, while also being quite funny and entertaining. In fact, I loved it so much that it's joining Kaleido Star, Death Note, Fruits Basket, Super GALS, and Ginban Kaleidoscope on my "Masterpiece" list. A definite "must see" if you're an anime fan!
